The GBA thread

Ninja Five-O looks really cool! Just did a quick search on ebay and you aint kidding about it being rare! Completed listings show loose carts going for $70 and up and complete boxed copies going for $200 plus! I was going to add this game to my want list but not now

Yeah those new GBA's look great, but looking at the site that sells them I see they are going for $249.00  They're cool for sure, but not that cool!

I've got a Blue SP with a few Gameboy, Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advance games...was playing Donkey Kong Land 3 on the train up to London a couple of weeks back, the female guard then went "Oh! I haven't seen one of those in ages"

I almost bought a backlit modded original GBA this weekend until I remembered I already have a GP2x handheld.  Thank goodness for that bit of memory I still have left.. keeps me from over-collecting.

Yes!  I thought I'd look like quite the boffin with this big, computerized gadget sticking out of my shirt.  Sadly, I remained a buffoon! :p

I thought this kid was obnoxious and rude. But he has a lot of passion for the GBA and its games. By the end, he starts talking Pokémon and saves the whole video.   :113:
