While I'm glad they're trying to give us GBA owners a bargain, the games listed above for the most part suck.  I wouldn't spend $20 on any of those listed.  Two crappy games for the price of one crappy game does not a value make.

They could probably sell all six for $20, and I still wouldn't be interested...

On the other hand, hardcore gamers aren't the target market. These games are for people such as parents trying to distract their kids during long trips. I'm sure the cartridges will sell better at that cost.

More double packs?

Gotta love those, there's a Sci-Fi triple pack out here that features Breed, Nomads and Project Freedom (I think that's what it's called). A great present to make anyone lose all faith in the games industry!
