Hello Maintinence.. this is Satan. Turn down the air conditioning please...
« on: May 02, 2002, 07:27:51 PM »
Yup.. hell hath frozen over. I\'ve decided to buy a GBA. I\'m probably one of the few people out there who decided to boycott Nintendo\'s new handheld because of their hesitance to push the envelope of affordability and power.. not to mention not wanting to add another sheckle to their monopoly which in the end is just holding back the handheld market.

I just got a new job working 12 hours a day and making some phat.. phat cash for virtually no work. All I do all day is fill out paperwork and keep an eye on the ovens so that I can call maintinence when something breaks. Out of each hour, I\'ll probably only ~work~ roughly 10-15 minuites.. which means I\'m going to be bored out of my skull all night.

Since it\'s a HACCP controlled clean room, I\'m not supposed to carry anything in from the outside.. but I\'ll be damned if I just have to stare at a wall all night. The GBA is the perfect size for slipping in my pocket without anyone noticing and it\'s long battery life will keep me gaming all night long while waiting for my next workload.

One problem tho.. I don\'t know what games to get!

To start, I\'ve got my eye on..

Doom
CastleVania: CotM
Sonic Advance 1

I\'d like to get 2 - 3 more games for it but I\'m not sure which ones are the best since I really haven\'t payed too close attention to the GBA lately. Anyone have some recamendations on what their favorite games are. Prefereably, I\'d like an RPG and an Action game.

Drop a few names so I can check some reviews. :D

Get Golden Sun... I had a GBA but I sold it cuz\' I never played it.

CotM is fun as hell but so dark. It gets really frusterating, darker than a Tim Burton movie. Make sure you have a great light source or else you\'ll lose your character off the screen. I also never beat the damn game, it\'s long. So, I\'d say buy it. :D

Golden Sun is your best bet RPG wise, and as for an action game, Final Fight One is good for quick thrills, so is Spiderman.

Hey thanks for the suggestions. As far as the RPG\'s go, I think I\'m just going to hold off until Phantasy Star 1-3 comes out and then pick that one up. Seems like the best bargain.. and hey.. Phantasy Star rules. Four other games should be able to last me until then. SpiderMan and Final Fight sounds alright.. but what about King of Fighters? Is there a KOF game in the works/released for the GBA? I could really see myself blowing a couplla hours pulverising lame AI bots with Mai or Kyo. :D

You can import KoF.  No localization yet.  Also, as bob said, buy advance wars.  It really is superb.

Golden Sun was fun as was Castlemania and Advance Wars.

If you aren\'t sick of them by now, you might try the Tony Hawk game, that was good.

If you like puzzle games on your handheld, you might try Chu Chu Rocket.  Also, F-Zero was good if you enjoyed the SNES version, but it was a little rough on the fingers.

The one game I haven\'t played but want to is Sonic Advance.  I don\'t think you could go wrong with a 2D Sonic like that.  Super Mario World is rereleased now, too, so that might be tempting.

There\'s a lot out there, just dive in and you\'ll be happy.

My advice is to change your name as it doesn\'t seem to fit anymore.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
