Thought I was going to snipe a copy of Metal Gear since it wasn't listed in the auction title.
The auction went from $25 to over $50 in the last 10 seconds.

This is the norm. Unless the auction's ending at a really strange time (say, 4 am), the price should be expected to double if it's anything good.
Part of it is probably the autobid system. It's way better to just wait until there's 5 seconds left and put in your max bid (say, for that auction, 50$) and then just see who wants it most. The market these days is all over ebay auctions, especially, so it's rough going.

I'm in, finished MGSV and I still have my Ghost Babel copy here.
Ok, got my hands on the game and a green gameboy color. This is actually my first time really playing the game. I remember seeing a friend play when i was younger. My thoughts on it so far: This really seems like a console game. The team behind the game did a great job. I'm really early at the game, just got at the part where snake needs to meet chris personally.
One small thing: The GBC I got has some really nasty scratches on the screen protector. So I just ordered a new one. Then it's going to be a much better experience.
PS: Yesterday I also got Warioland 1,2 and 3 and Warlocked.

I'm at the very end of Ghost Babel.
Hopefully I'll finish this soon I hope.
To be honest it was fun at first but,...lets just say I kind of want it to be over lol. I don't hate it though.

Finished Metal Gear Ghost Babel.
Outside of the gripes I had with the layout of the levels, it was written quite well. It seems like a technical marvel for the Game Boy Color as well, really impressed how well it looks. Some of the bosses were a bit wonky but, after trying and trying and trying and TRYING I managed to get through.

I remember playing the gbc HP games on my cousins gbc as a kid and absolutely loving both titles.
Title: Bomberman Quest
Release Date: [JP] December 24, 1998; [US/EU] 1998
Platform: Game Boy Colour
Developer: Hudson Soft
Publisher: Hudson Soft; Electro Brain [US]
It's no surprise that Bomberman Quest won the poll as our next game, as people have been clamouring for more Bomberman since Hudson's death. In Bomberman Quest, the titular hero visits four zones that he has to rid of monsters with, well, his trusty bombs to return to Planet Bomber. The game foreshadows later Bomberman titles that tossed a level-based structure aside for a more involved game featuring an overworld, story and RPG elements. A lot of these elements are prefigured or at least hinted at in Quest, with Peace Town acting as a place to fall back to, allowing you to check your progress, save the game, upgrade your arsenal, and more. It's a great opportunity to revisit this fantastic series which may be gone (for all intents and purposes) but is certainly not forgotten.
This is our first game with Super Game Boy, granting you a nice borders (one pictured below). Also, heads-up: There are two endings to the game so if you wanna go for the real one, you can go look up how to do that. You can find more info on the game along with the manuals here.
The game will run us till January 11. Don't forget to vote for the next game which will be the third GBC title, rounding out the group before our first GBA title!
VOTE FOR THE SIXTH GAME HERE: (Quote to see)
PAL box art is similar to the Japanese version. Seeing the different Bomberman forms is what sold me on the game as a kid. Then I found out they are multiplayer only and since I knew no-one else with the game I've never seen them in game. 
But the single player mode is fun if I recall. Beat it 100%. But I did end up with something different than what I was initially expecting.

Don't do this, it was called Color everywhere.
Who cares?
If that dude is in the UK, it would have likely automatically auto corrected it to Colour. We know what he meant, we know what console it is.
So really, who gives a shit?
You really gonna take issue with this?
