Lord of the Rings : Return of the King. An excellent action rpg and an
improvement over the Two Towers game.

fire emblem...unbelievable so far...it's actually a nice change to play a
stratgey game that doesn't bog you down in having to equip all kinds of
armor, boots, helmets, etc. etc. it's solely weapon-based, so that's all you
have to worry about....

Me too. I hated it at first. I tried to give it up. Once you get
used to the idea that you're going to be replaying many scenarios a
lot, it becomes quite enjoyable. It's a hard game, but once you start
getting some class changes, it really gets great.

As soon as I finish, I'm going to start over and give more experience
to different guys. Archers are a lot more useful than I had first
thought. Thieves too, although there only seems to be one. I managed
to level up that healer on horseback and now she can cast basic
offensive spells, making her a fast mage - pretty cool.

one complaint i could make is that mages seem almost useless most of the
time...they are too weak to put them into the middle of the action, and
their spells don't reach far, so what can you do?

GBA? You mean my Final Fantasy Tactics delivery system?

I forget what I have in there at the moment. Sorry.

Activision Anthology is in mine. Had to order it online since every
worker in every store I asked about it basically said "we aren't
stocking it because we don't think it'll sell. It's only for a very
small niche market". Total BS, but anyway, it's awesome to have all
those games on one cart.

Duke Nukem Advance rocked! Am I the only one who wishes there will be a
sequel?

Fire Emblem. Love it. Haven't been able to play anything else since I
started it. I don't like RPG's (too much stuff to keep up with) but
this makes it fun and easy to keep up with. Like the story too.

The dialog kinda sucked until I turned up the speed..8-)

Love it. (on chapter 18)

DKC, and it has been for two weeks :-) Anyone know if any sequels are in
the works?

I'd like to know what's the _longest_ time uninterrupted a game has
spent in your GB, GBC or GBA? Tetris in my case, but that's probably the
same for most people. Zelda: Link's Awakening original spent over a
month in my old transparent GB.

For my GBA, DKC hold's the current record for longevity plugged in.

GameboyA Player Golden Sun - Lost Age 3 months. Finally beat it, and now
almost done with Lufia - Lands of Lore, Sword of Mana is waiting.

Still need to finish Metroid Prime. Can't seem to find the last two
missle packs. Want 100%.

Excuse the snipping...
Zelda: Link's Awakening _caused_ me to buy a second Gameboy. If there
ever should be a built-in game on any Gameboy, this one should be the
one.

Well, Tetris (original or DX version) get's my vote for built in game,
but Zelda: Link's Awakening would certainly be high on my list. I must
buy the DX colour version one of these days... Man I love that game

Tetris DX is in the machine right now. Love it. DX is by far the best
version to date. Highly recommended....

Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga. It's been there for 4 weeks and
counting. I highly recommend it, but only if you enjoy being glued to
the screen for weeks.

Zelda: Link to the Past. My kids and I are trying to beat Vaati in the
Four Swords. It's pretty fun, kind of like Gauntlet meets Zelda.

I bought Final Fantasy Tactics at release and it hasn't left my GBA. I've
probably put in about 100 hours or so, and I can't recommend the game
enough. It's even more addicting than Advance Wars.

Hmmm ... swapping between Return of the King and Duke Nukem Advance. I'd
recommend RotK, but I think you have to be a FPS nut for Duke ... the
controls are a bit tough. I like it, it is true Duke, but FPS was just not
meant for those controls.

Agreed, though I found it surprisingly playable and fun
on the GBA (SP). Thanks for reminding me.. I still have
to finish this game.. will pop it in again tonight :)

Love Duke! I wish there was a sequel. I actually found the controls
easier than expected after the first frustration 10 minutes. It just
took a little acclimatisation, is all.
