I've played the obvious choices so far, but am looking for some more hidden gems. There are over 2000 GBA titles and I don't want to go through them 1 by 1. I've never owned a GBA, so I have no idea what's good and what's not.

Here's a list of DS titles I've played so far.

Castlevania - Dawn
Ouendan
Cooking Mama
Jump Superstars
Brain Age/Big Brain
Burnout Legends
Dotstream
Dial Hel
Lost in Blue
Magnetica
Mario 3 on 3 (more like 1 on 3, useless teammates).
Super Mario Bros
Mario Kart (boring)
Metroid
Mr Driller
Phoenix Wright
Trauma Center
True Swing Golf
Tak
Viewtiful Joe
Trace Memory

There are others I've played, but those are currently on the DS. As for the GBA, I have Zelda - Minish Cap (freaking great), Megaman Battle Network, Castlevanias, and a few others.

Too many choices, so very little time.

well, on the DS side you would do well to check out both Rub Rabbit games, The Mario and Luigi RPG (can't recall exact name) Wario Touched, and probably Resident Evil.

I have been out of the GBA for a little while but Drill Dozer is excellent. Also Guru Logic Champ.

Thanks for those. RE isn't my style, I really don't like it. Rub Rabbit is really bizzare, but I'll continue to play it because it's unique. Wario Touched is like Rub Rabbit, but far more annoying, I may have to pick that up again.

oh yes, the "micro" game type games can get really annoying if you are not to into those so if run rabbits annoy you at all or if wario left a bad impression, it will probably not get any better. I sort of punish myself with games sometimes. you know, try to get and do everything in a game, even if I stopped having fun. if you like platform games then the 2 Mario games on the DS are worth playing (maybe even Princess Peach??)

Tetris got old and boring on my old oringinal Gameboy, not a fan anymore. I think I tried playing Advanced Wars, but couldn't figure out what the hell I was doing

I'll give it another go since people seem to like it.

Thanks.

Yeah, I am. Sound Voyager is tough after a while, and I can't seem to figure out how to go to different branches, maybe I gotta beat the one I'm on. Definitely need headphones to play that one.

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I bet @AncientBoi has some hamsters hidden somewhere tho....

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
