Best Gameboy advance games


Recommended Posts

Okay so I loved the idea of the gameboy advance but hated the non backlit screen, really spoilt it for me :(

The SP was exspensive and only seemed to give ME the benifits of the backlight however the micro sets to change all this.

I adore the size and want it to have some quick Nintendo action anywhere, its small enough to just throw in my pocket, unlike the psp or ds.

Now then i was wondering what games were avaliable on the advance platform therefore that i could run on the micro? and what are the best games avaliable.

To give you some ideas im looking at quick pickup. blast and put down again games...for example on my GBA i have....

Pacman

Pole position

dig dug

Supermario World (nes version)

Supermario 4 (nes version 3) or whatever its called

Asteroids

Missile command

Doom

Ms Pacman

Centipede

Street fighter

Sonic Advance

Tony hawks pro skater 2

GT advance

Galaxian

Galaga

And i was looking at monkey ball GBA and zelda (nes)

so im clearly into my retro gaming and love the idea of a portable nintendo but im really looking for some recomedations that are fun and a quick blast rather than in depth and involved games such as advance wars.

So if anyone has any suggestions im all ears

(im getting the micro regardless this is about games not what is the best console etc)

I recommend Wario Ware. I have the first one and it is a great pick up and go game. There is also a newer one. Either would be great choices.

There is also the GBA Zelda game, The Minish Cap. It was a nice game albeit quite short.

For your RPG fix, Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age are great.

GBA has a ton of good games, I'd check places like http://pocket.ign.com

I'd wait to get one of these when they come out for under $200 then put a gameboy advanced emulator on it and any other kind of system emulator you want

the great thing about this as opposed to the PSP is they support and acctually encurage homebrewed apps like as in emulators and such, it also plays movies and music

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
