Konami GB Collection


is a series of four video game compilations published by Konami, each comprising four of their previously released Game Boy titles on a single cartridge. The compilations were originally released from 1997 to 1998 in Japan on the Game Boy, and featured Super Game Boy palette and border support, with game descriptions and instructions provided by the girls from the original Tokimeki Memorial. The compilations later received a European release in 2000 for the Game Boy Color, which removed the Super Game Boy support and Tokimeki Memorial content but added colour support.

Reception

Tim Jones of IGN scored Vol.1, 3, and 4 an 8/10 each, believing most of the included games held up and remained fun to play. However, Jones only scored Vol.2 a 6/10, believing its lineup of games was not as strong as the other series entries.
