I am looking to get a Game boy advance SP to play some of the old games on like the first couple Pokemon and other older games.

Should I spend time and find the orginal games that I want or find one of the multicarts out there with the games I want included ?

Thanks

As long as you can find info/reviews on a specific multicart that tested the Pokemon games out to make sure there's no saving issues, then a multi-cart would be fine.
If you're looking for single carts you'll also find a lot of reproduction carts, some of which do look really nice and indistinguishable from the originals, for much cheaper, but depending on who's making it there might be save issues as well, but I don't think thats a common problem these days. I got a repro-Emerald cart from ebay and it works fine.

I think you should get the best of both worlds.
Try to look for a really good flashcart, those that allow you to save the game without needing some crazy menu or so.
If u find any good deal on eBay or want to buy some of your favourite titles, why not? Just make sure to look into how to spot fake carts and stuff

    Not related to Tomy but I thought I would share. :P
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Were those even LCD, or did they have tiny lamps inside?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Veho, They were LCD games if I'm not mistaken with lamps inside.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Took full sized C cell batteries.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    In the distant past before all these fancy solid state electronic gizmos, there were segmented displays with tiny lamps under each segment instead of one backlight and then an LCD overlay.

    Yay chemical tube lighting doctors hate led

    A vacuum tube a day keeps the doctor away. Or something.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Keeps the doctor employed after snorting the light substance

    mercury vapor and noble gases like argon, neon, xenon, or krypton

    So Xbox steals names from fluorescent lights
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Noble gasses are inert, hence the name "noble" so they aren't really a problem.
