sorry but i can't justify getting a GBA just for one game... the system is already (the screen is way too small) but it's just not worth it... when i have WC
already installed and just at one click of a button, i can play it.

But there are lots of great GBA games!
Tetris (GB)
Come on, who doesn't love Tetris? I dare you to not love Tetris.
seaQuest (GB)
All the fun of the classic show, in GameBoy form!
Flintstone Burgertime in Bedrock (GBC)
You got Burgertime in my cheap Flinstones license! No, you got cheap Flinstones license in my Burgertime! Either way you look at it, this has to be the best idea in the history of good ideas.
Wolfenstein 3D (GBA)
A near-perfect port of Wolf3D for the PC.
Commander Keen (GBC)
In 1990 Commander Keen was like Super Mario for people with PCs... and now you can get it for the Nintendo! All new levels and stuff.
Pokemon (GBC)
Pokemon is probably the best modern RPG ever. And it's really really addictive. Even people who don't like Pokemon like the Pokemon game. Available in red, blue, yellow, gold, silver, and crystal
Various Marios (GBA)
They've converted varions Marios to the GBA... and Mario 2 was the best. The best!
Mary Kate & Ashley: Girls Night Out
I don't care what it is, it's the best name for anything ever.

GBA
I bought one for my 5 year old son. He is really into DragonBall Z
so I bought Goku's Quest or something like that. He doesn't even play with it anymore. I find it kind of fun but I cannot do it for very long as the tiny screen gives me a headache.
My son has his own computer that I built out of spare parts and he would rather play Frogger or Pac-Man 3D.
On a side note I also have a machine just dedicated to Wing Commander and Wing Commander II. Right now it is in a closet because I had to clean out my junk room to make a nursery for my other son. Thank goodness my wife didn't make me get rid of all my stuff. I even have an old analog Thrustmaster Joystick to go with the Wing Commander machine.
I am thinking about painting the case and/or modding it someway
to look like something out of the games. When get further along I
will post some pic of it.

I won't get that thing until they (successfully) port Shining Force 3 to it. Shining Soul isn't enough, and I've already played Prophecy. No GBA for me. *Votes accordingly*

I don't need to play Prophecy multiplayer - I never play multiplayer anyway. I don't want to be distracted on a bus so I get off on the wrong busstop, I have too much to do at work, and I prefer listening to the teacher in class. It makes things a lot easier when the tests show up.
I think I'll live without that, thank you very much. *Fires up Neverwinter Nights*

i bought a GBA last year,
really sad thing is that i havn't bought any games for the dammned thing
, I've meerly been satisfied with lending my mates advance wars, im definatly gonna buy WCP for the GBA, i loved the PC version (looking forward to UE as well 
). The screenshots look amazing, i just want to see some videos of it in action 
<wets myself in excitement>
Looks like a mini WC re-birth, with WCP for the game boy advance and UE coming out next month (?). Finnally some new WC games to get through

I got my Gameboy Advance a long time ago and it was my best friend when my PC had an accident
I've got various games, but the shining point of the collection is definitely gonna be WCP when I get it
Anyone here feel like joining me for an all-night store campout on the day of its release

Yup, GBA plays all the old GB and GBC games!
Speaking of GBA stuff, I picked up one of those new card readers on Saturday... it's pretty cool! You stick it on top of the GBA and you scan trading cards with 8-bit Nintendo games on them... (I said *cool*, not useful...).
Its best use seems to be for Pokemon stuff, though. All the new Pokemon CCG cards have strips of data that can read in their Pokedex information and when put together you can play a bunch of little Pokemon mini-games.
