Arreat Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 bleh, if it could play games at least as good as ps then i'd buy it, i can't believe i wasted $199 on that crap. Why not play your ol' nintendo then buy GBA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 The only games for GBA I have played at my friends were Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure (third in the series of the greatest Atari game ever made) and some Pokemon game... The Pokemon thing was actually pretty fun. I hope he gets the new ones coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not play your ol' nintendo then buy GBA? Because if you travel alot it is handy to take with you. It is portable small, and runs pretty good games imo. I go on vacation every summer and we drive. It is a 3 day drive actually. My GBA is a life-saver and keeps me from getting bored to death in our car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Once they get a PC quality game into that little thing, then I might be interested... RPGs I guess, like Zelda, and can't believe I dare mention Pokemon (as much as I hate the idea of that) are OK. I'm into shooters, not sidescrollers!

Obviously they aren't as good as PC but they are good nonetheless imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Really? Not 3D though. Do you mean like Army Men Advanced, or something like that???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 There are some somewhat 3D games for GBA. Nintendo will keep releasing Game boys because they're the only company in the handheld buisness. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Warrior Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Originally posted by Katarn07 Really? Not 3D though. Do you mean like Army Men Advanced, or something like that???? No I mean first-person shooters. Here is one game that is an fps for gba http://www.nintendo.com/games/gamepage/gamepage_main.jsp?gameId=364&showMe=1 click screenshots and you will see it is a first person. Not the best graphics but good enough 4 me:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
