Konami GB Collection

The Konami GB Collection (コナミGBコレクション Konami GB Korekushon^?) is a four volume series of compilations of classic Konami Game Boy video games released on both the Game Boy and Game Boy Color. The bundles were originally released from 1997 to 1998 in Japan, and were later released in Europe in 2000.

Regional differences[]

The original Japanese releases feature Super Game Boy palette and border support, with game descriptions and instructions provided by characters from the original Tokimeki Memorial (Shiori, Saki, Ayako and Miharu). The European versions added color support for the Game Boy Color, but removed the Tokimeki Memorial characters and tutorials.
