aoshi · November 17th, 2001

gerbilcannon · November 18th, 2001

At least that's one advantage in being the big brother, there's so many disavantages.

gerbilcannon · November 22nd, 2001

I'm the elder brother here too!! But, sadly, the sibling is a younger sister. Thusly why I have to support my gaming (and coffee) addiction on my own. Of course I never go anywhere so the true advantage of the gba there is lessened. So it would be just like a reincarnation of the snes to me. My favouritest console system!

heres a question back on topic of golden sun, whats a good emu to run it on?
p3 600 256mb ram

gerbilcannon · November 23rd, 2001

VisualBoy Advance is my recommendation, but I'm hardly the pro here on gba emulation.

My the elder bro in my family to, but the only that my 17 years old bro think 'bout is sex & drug.

Yeah, and emulation just doesn't have the romance of the real thing, does it?

gerbilcannon · December 12th, 2001

The romance of squinting at a display the size of my thumbnail? Mmmm, no ... it doesn't quite have that ... the appeal of the gba to me is its portability even though I never go anywhere. Otherwise I'd just emulate everything since it'll look and sound better there.

Vegeta · December 12th, 2001

no, the romance of holding it in your hand and gaming whereever you waNT...it's the same with PSX/N64 emulation, a PC just doesn't have romance...and it's noisy too..

Vegeta · December 12th, 2001

btw, I checked some screenshots of this game and it doesn't seem to great to me...

404 · December 12th, 2001

what GBA?

Vegeta · December 12th, 2001

huh? come again?

**Ryos** · December 12th, 2001

It's good as far as a portable game goes. But if it had been released on the N64, I highly doubt it would have gotten as much acclaim. I still think a lot of its popularity has to do with Climax and not the game itself.

**Bgnome** · December 12th, 2001

the games not bad. i believe most of the hype is due to it being the first "real" rpg for the gba. in my opinion, it was done pretty well. it has some nice 3d effects such as when entering battle and the summon spells. i would have been really impressed with this game if it was on a snes.
i personally liked a lot of snes titles and still do. its a refreshing visit back to that style of gaming, and i enjoy playing it on my gba.

lizardj · December 13th, 2001

ah. forgot wut i realli wanted to say.

The Vagrant · December 14th, 2001

It was alright, nowhere near as good as some of the SNES rpg legends but still good. Now that BoFA just came out, oh yeah, now there's an rpg, and BoFAII is coming here as well, mwahahah...golden what? BTW Magical vacation is awesome, can't wait for the english version, then there's EXE2 and MMZ...2 good megaman games...oh yes...*trails off*
