This list of Game Boy Color games includes 915[a] licensed releases from the Game Boy Color's launch in 1998 to the final release in 2003. The last official release for the system was Doraemon no Study Boy: Kanji Yomikaki Master, which was released in Japan on July 18, 2003. However, multiple unlicensed games (many of which are developed and distributed by fans) have been released since then. Additionally, there were several games which were developed and officially licensed, but were cancelled before release.
Games were released under two classes of cartridges: Class A, "Dual Mode" cartridges compatible with Game Boy systems which predate the Game Boy Color. They feature the text "Yes" in the column indicating two versions of the game included on the cartridges. The backs of the boxes for such games are labeled "Compatible with Game Boy" and the cartridges of these games are typically molded in black to distinguish them from original Game Boy cartridges. Many of them also have special borders and/or limited color support for the Super Game Boy peripheral for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Class B cartridges were compatible only with the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, and the Game Boy Player peripheral for the GameCube. They feature the text "No" in the column indicating Dual Mode. Such games typically feature the disclaimers "Only for Game Boy Color" and "Not compatible with other Game Boy systems!" on their box art or sometimes on the cartridge.
This list is organized alphabetically by the games' localized English titles, or by rōmaji transliterations when exclusive to Japan. The releases are sorted into 3 main regions (Japan, North America, and European Union/PAL region), specifying if certain European games had country-specific distribution. There is also one game exclusive to the country of South Korea.
