Nintendo Gaming / GBA Games Worth It? (Official "What game should I get?" Thread)

« on: July 21, 2003, 06:02:51 AM »

Here is a list of my favorite GBA games so far;

Advance Wars 2 (very similar to AW1, but better.  Reminds me of red alert)
Contra Alien Wars (insanely hard old school shooter)
MegaMan Zero (very hard but tons of fun)
Zelda/4swords
F-Zero
Bubble Bobble old and new (import)
Metroid Fusion
All three Castelvanias
Golden Sun 1+2
Doom 2
Breath of Fire
Tactics Ogre
Mario Cart
SMA2+3
Tetris Worlds
Worms Blast
Warioware (fun time waster)

IMO, you can't go wrong with any of these games.  I own all of them and love all of them.  I'm sure there are plenty of others as well, I'm still working on my collection.  I have a Flash advance 256 card so I like to download a lot of cool Japanize games too.  You can get pretty much anything off the internet if you know where to look.  Now I just need to learn Japanise.  Anyway, a gameboy flash card is also great because you can load it up with about 6-7 games at a time and then you don't have to cary the individuial paks around.

General Chat / war in iraq

I think France is very courageous for standing up to US imperialism.  Some countries see the dark path the US is taking and they should be praised for standing up to a horrid, lying, aggressive state.  Edit:  Okay, so maybe that's a bit much.  Still, the US habitually lies.

Hmm, when does the war start?  When Iraq starts to cooperate better?  I think Bushy was afraid of losing ANY "legitimate" reason to attack.  Yes, Saddam needs to be removed.  This isn’t' a mission of good will though.  It's an invasion, and no one can deny that.  France and the others tried to stop it, but the US seems to think it's above everyone else.

I hope we don't become like Germany was for the first half of the 20th century.  Remember, Nazis were patriotic too.  All this talk about boycotting French stuff and the Dixie chicks is warning signs of a slow drift into a state of fascism.  

I agree with the Dixie Chicks.  I'm ashamed to be an American right now.  I'm ashamed of the blind faith people give this government.  We're blissfully tossing our freedom away, and it sickens me.  I wouldn't have started such a thread, but you bet I'm going to post about it if the subject already exists.  This is a very dark time in the history of the USA, when we toss away great progress made over the last few decades.  I'm afraid ludicrous stuff like "Patriot II" is just the tip of the iceberg.  People are so stupid, blindly believing every bit of propaganda thrown about.  A bunch of stupid puppets, with George W. holding the strings.  I'm very ashamed of the American people.

This is a test.  America needs to prove its innocense to the rest of the world after the inevitable victory.  I sincerely hope we do.

After Iraq, I have to ask:  Who's next?  Do we have to launch preemptive strikes on all other countries to protect our security?

Edit:
Note that Iraq isn't the only country developing such weapons.  I acknowledge that Saddam's regime is horrid, but you have to always be questioning!  Why is it that the oil fields are the first on the list for the reconstruction of Iraq?  Not hospitals.  Not schools.  OIL FIELDS

Edit2:
I'm very vehement, but that doesn't mean I don't respect other people.  Yes, I think the public is being lied to and mislead, but that doesn't mean I have any enmity towards such people.  I know my post will be offensive to many, but that's just the way it goes.  I'm sure this is why this kind of topic is off limits.

I just thought I would point out that the dixie chick... uh chick recalled her statment and appoligized, saying that now that we are at war she will stand behind the president and our troops.  I read that in the paper.

As for me, I don't know why we didn't just send in some black opps to assasinate that dirty BAST%&# Saddam.  We could have set it up to look like an inside job....  I know this still leaves a lot of problems for setting up a new government.  I don't know, but something had to be done so I will stand behind president bush.  A lot of my friends are turning into major hippys and that kind of scares me.  Have any of you been to a peace rally?  It's like mob mentality!  There's nothing peacefull about most peace rallys.  Most of those people, a lot of my friends included, are just there because it's trendy!  Many are just trying to get out of class and get some excitment.  Most of those people don't know the first thing about the historical and political situation.  I can see why people protested they way they did in WWII, but this situation is sooo different.  Besides, shouldn't we really be protesting people like Saddam or bin laddin?  Just my 2 cents.

BTW Sorry about the quote thing, I'm still very new to this whole forum thing.

Has anyone here ever played any of the star control games?  I think it would be so awesome if you could go anywhere in the galaxy you wanted.  Kind of like a real rouge.  Also multi and online are must haves for a new Squadron game!
