Lol. My GBA was a Christmas gift and I was beyond ecstatic to unwrap it but then my heart sank when I opened the box and it was the translucent Pink one and realized everyone on the Bus was gonna give me poo poo and call me a Fag for having a pink game boy.

All those capitalizations were autocorrects but they really make the story pop

If you stop using Pink Bus Fag as the name in your contact info it should stop autocapitalizing them

When I first got my GBA (Bus Fag Translucent Purple) I got with it Super Mario Advance, Advance Wars, and this:

I don't think I ever played that piece of crap for more than 20 minutes and it was a total waste of my parents' money

I have so much nostalgia for GBA graphics with the 3D models turned into sprites and the scaling and rotation effects and stuff and i have no idea why that's not a big indie thing

Yeah I think Boktai is probably a much better example of what i'm talking about, I never played that Jurassic Park game (although I like the visual style a lot for some reason)

The PlayStation game Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro's final level was changed.[60] Originally it was a showdown between Spider-Man and Electro atop the World Trade Center. This was changed to the top of another generic skyscraper. The New York City skyline was also obscured by a storm so that the World Trade Center was not visible.

My first GBA game was this Medabots game:



Because I was 10 and I liked the Medabots show on Fox Kids a lot. I liked it but again I was like 10 so I don't know if that actually means it was any good.

I had this game when I was a kid also. I remember thinking it was awesome but I just looked up a video of the gameplay and it is a totally indecipherable mess lol

i assume super mario advance was a bundle-in or something because i had it too and it's just a lame port of smb2 and didn't seem like something i would have gone out and bought.
