Konami GB Collection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konami GB Collection is a series of video game compilations for the Game Boy comprised of four volumes. The compilations were originally released from 1997 to 1998 in Japan. The compilations were later released in Europe in 2000.

The original Japanese releases features Super Game Boy palette and border support, with game descriptions and intrsuctions provided by the girls from the original Tokimeki Memorial. The European versions added full color support for the Game Boy Color, but removes the Tokimeki Memorial characters and tutorials.
