@marissa I should definitely check those out, I feel like I've played Wizardry 1 on a billion different platforms but never really explored anything else in the series

@lori If you're comfortable with Wizardry I and like the Game Boy, I'd say it's worth it. It's designed around some kind of port of the Wizardry V engine. The music and gameplay are good. There's also automapping through a spell. (There's a funny quote from the dev team somewhere justifying this saying "it's hard to draw on grid paper outside.")
One neat feature is transferring your party from I->II and II->III, but you need the "Heaven's Scripture" item and the requirements for getting *that* are frankly absurd. I'm a fan of the series but never bothered. Have fun!
I very much enjoyed playing Cosmo Tank back in the day, the soundtrack was good, and the mix of 1st person and overhead views gave the game a bit of variety.

Golden Sun has a special place in my heart, probably my overall favorite game series. Driver is fun to play on the GBA just to be in awe of the graphics capability.

I like some of the tsume shogi games. I also like some of the pokemon games such as Pokemon Kaizo Crystal and Pokemon Unbound.

I think the first WarioWare still holds up very well today; the simplicity makes it a lot more approachable than some of the more recent entries. I also really like the Hamtaro games and think they have a lot of personality. Ham-Ham Heartbreak and the new homebrew Goodboy Galaxy are the GBA games I'm most interested in getting around to playing through myself.
On Game Boy specifically some of my favorites are Tetris Blast, Kirby's Dream Land 2, Wario Land 3, Donkey Kong '94, and Pocket Bomberman. There's a homebrew version of IndestructoTank! I really like.

I've been really exploring the Game Boy library lately (especially since LCD modding my GBA), so I wanna hear about what your favorite Game Boy/GBA stuff is, especially if it gets weird. What do y'all like to play?
