They're a lot of fun!

I'm sure it's not for everyone though, they do make great display pieces too!

Oh, it's right there.. on my wishlist.

I do have it on my 3DS though as part of that Ambassador program. Not the same as having the cart, so I still want to track it down sometime.

I definitely have some options when I need a GBA fix!

I can relate to that. Same story, but for Virtual Boy's NA Jack Bros. Way too expensive to get now, but I got it way back when and thought I was paying too much at the time!

I know! 😭

It's been on the list for a while, but there are just too many great games in the GBA library. It's difficult to track down every cart I want (cause I kinda want all of them)

If you have to have dedicated carts of them - I'd say to go for it!

If all you need is to play them again - I would strongly recommend getting a flash cart instead. Repros can be pretty unreliable.

I wish I could have all of them! Maybe some day...

I was never really interested in any Pokemon game after the first two gens. They just didn't feel like different enough games to me. So with GBA, I only grabbed the remakes of the first gen when they came out.

It's a great game! And Treasure seemed to work in every graphical trick they could get out of the system. There's some impressive and chaotic graphics in that game.

The mother games are the only repros I've purchased, it's a crime that Nintendo didn't localize those for NA or EUR!

So it's just a cheap repro from eBay with an English patch. I have a flash cart too, which is probably the better way to go.

Years ago I inherited my wife's family's Game Gear. After a recap, and replacing the backlight, I started tracking down games to play on it. It's been great exploring a whole library of games that I skipped out on as a kid! (I was a Nintendo kid) Now I have a nice little library of carts to play on this beast of a 90's handheld.

Finally got around to tracking down Tetris 2, looking forward to digging into it more. Quick pick-up-and-play puzzle games like this are great on the Game Boy. Happy to add this one to the library!

 

I made it earlier this year, thought I would share. Now my VB can safely travel with me!
