Ninja Boy - AGG - 83% (3)
Puyo Puyo - AAAAA - 50% (5)

It's interesting to compare the performance of the different versions of Puyo Puyo across the GAB topics. The SNES version got 43%, the Genesis version got a whopping 77%, and now the GB version gets 50%. It just goes to show, Dr. Robotnik makes anything better.

Games for this topic:

Home Alone
Rampart (GB)
Pac-Man
Patlabor: The Mobile Police
Torpedo Range
World Ice Hockey

Please note that the GB and GBC versions of Rampart are totally different, so make sure you're rating the original GB version for this topic. I'm also kind of interested to try out Patlabor, after seeing a number of games based on it over the years.

Wow, this topic was a smackdown for games based on old TV shows. The results of this topic were pretty much the exact opposite of what I predicted.

Games for this topic:

Croc 2
GP Challenge
Hunter X Hunter: Maboroshi no Greed Island
Logic Pro Adventure
Soukyuu Gurentai: Oubushutsugeki
Street Sk8er 2

A few sequels to games we covered very early in the PS1 GAB in this topic, which means I'm going to have to go back to the originals to refresh my memory on them.

Race Drivin - BAAGAGA - 57% (7)
Saint Paradise: Saikyou no Senshi Tachi - BB - 0% (2)

A pretty low-rated topic, but there's something kind of epic about Race Drivin' winning its topic. No other version of the game scored higher than 18% (the Genesis version). What a glow-up for the GB version. I wonder if any other much maligned games will ever get their redemption like this?

Games for this topic:

Battle Bull
Crayon Shin-Chan: Ora to Shiro wa Otomodachi da yo
J.League Fighting Soccer: The King of Ace Strikers
Jeopardy
Ninja Boy
Puyo Puyo

I'm simultaneously intrigued and worried about Puyo Puyo. Obviously, unlike Tetris, which is mostly just about shapes, this is a game about colour. Is this going to be at all playable on Gameboy? I guess we'll find out. As for Jeopardy, there's many different versions of Jeopardy on Gameboy (Jeopardy Platinum, Sports, Teen Tournament), but they are all the exact same game with different questions, so we're only going to rate this one but you can rate based on any version of the game.

Wing Over 2 - GAA - 67% (3)

Well, I'm glad to see we didn't miss out on too much by not rating Slayers Royal on Saturn. Actually, there's a couple more games on the PS1 list that we didn't rate on Saturn, mostly because I went back and did another pass on Japanese-only RPGs about 6 months ago and added more games that I omitted when the list was first created, so those games will get their day in the sun eventually.

Games for this topic:

Dukes of Hazzard 2, The: Daisy Dukes It Out
Gundam 0079: The War For Earth
Liberogrande International
Mizuki Shigeru no Yokai Butouden
Pachi Pachi Saga
South Park: Chef's Luv Shack

This looks like an interesting set. I remember the original Liberogrande being a pretty unique game.
