I stopped playing my GBA games ages ago. They were outclassed by the DS games. Does anyone play GBA anymore?

dossaer said: I've recently been pulling out my original GameBoy games and playing them on my GBA SP. Donkey Kong Land 1, 2 and 3 are sooooo cool! (2 especially)

It's amazing to see what the boys from Rare(ware) managed to get out of the (very) limited GameBoy hardware!



DK land had brilliant graphics for GB. i only got dkland 1 though

Indeed it did, that's what inspired me to track down two and three (I never got either of them way back when they were released).

It's amazing to see how much of a step up 2 & 3 were. I recommend tracking down either one (or both) of these titles (perhaps via eBay).

Having GB and GBC games playable was one the best features of the GBA.

I played Metal Slug Advance and Dragonball Advance on my missus DS. They're pretty good graphic wise and gameplay wise. Even the sounds are good too.

Further to my previous blog with the promo marketing stuff (i.e. crap I give away to help promote the name but didn't really expect people to buy) I've now started selling shirts/clothes.
