I had the original Golden Sun for my regular GBA, but just bought the SP today, so that's all I am really playing. Really havn't been keeping track on some of the good games out there. Any suggestions?

Theres been like 0928438999.214 threads for this. Everyone gives says the same games which are nothing I am interested in. Seems I am stuck with tactics intill like Final Fantasy 3 is released for GBA or some shit.

That would be so awesome if they released FF 3 for GBA.

well most recommendations seem to be RPG's.

I'm not necessarly looking for an RPG, infact if it's not an RPG that would make it alot better. I just play it to kill time while im searching for groups in FFXI or EQ.

Aira of Sorrow is very good. To short for my tastes but I like the soul stealing thing.

Advance Wars was great. I havent played the sequel yet. Also, you can get advance wars for $20 or less new.

I want to get the new Castlevania. I bought Harvest Moon today, been playing it for like the past 6 hours.

It is fun, sort of like Animal Crossing i guess, you have a farm and you take care of stuff on it to raise money. Sounds ghey, but actually is pretty damn fun and addicting.

Robotech game is a fun side scrolling fighting game, sorta ala regular nintendo's Contra. Part that imho was cool was the ability to shift yer Veritech Fighter from Robot to Half Jet/Robot to Jet and back at will. Not really sure what you like in terms of games though.

I have done like 10 missions on FF tactics.

I've spent 7 hours and 24 min at that game so far.

God you take for f*****g ever. I've got like 45 missions under my belt and I'm on about 11 hours.

Say it with me son:

Archers/Snipers

You'd be surprised how fast a battle goes when you got 3-4 people getting initial shots.

I usually go:

Marche (Fighter)
Monteblanc (Time Mage/Black Mage)
Sniper
Sniper
White Mage/Archer
Soldier

All my other characters do dispatch.

#4(Bangaa) - Dragon Tech, Sacred Tech, Counter, Weapon Atk+, Combat Combo

Man don't you use snipers?

I find you use your Viera for fencers till they get Reflex, then switch em to Archers or Snipers.

Good times when you can't even f*****g hit them with physical attacks =P

Well it matters.

I personally like to have some people stay out of fighting range, so I have Snipers/Archers in back or on high ground.
I like to have a WHM for protect and shell.
I like to have Monte for his kickass totema (he always racks up points as a blm).

Do you have one of the programmable cartridges for the GBA ?

If so, I can show you how to download over 1300+ games for it for free. (Everything commercially available).

http://www.videogamecompany.com/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_DevelopmentTools__Flash_Linkers__PC_GBA_Linkers_88.html

is an example of what I am talking about. (I have never ordered from them before, just posting a link as an example)

Here is a list of the ROM's available in newgroups: http://release.playeradvance.org/

Enjoy,

Well, the cartidge in question allows you to play all the ROM's on a real GBA (or SP).

So its not like playing them in an emu, its playing them on the actual machine, just with a programmable cartridge.
