    Looking back, my PS2 and GBA were my favourite game machines, but the GBA still (however light the stories usually are) striked me as the best system ever playing with. So here I am, what were your favourite GBA games? Here are mines.

    Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
    Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2
    The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
    Fire Emblem
    Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
    Golden Sun
    Golden Sun: The Lost Age
    Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town
    Pokemon Ruby Version

    There are more of course, but those are the ones which had me playing, playing and playing over again. What are yours?

                  I haven't played a lot of GBA games that I want to play, among which are all of the Final Fantasy games, the Metroids, Fire Emblems and Mario Advance 2. I might play them one day, if I actually get round to it.

                  -Mario Kart Super Circuit
                  -Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town

                    Hey, thanks for reminding me. FFTA was pretty addictive for a while.

                      Seconded. I had some really crap games on my GBA xD. But then again, I had really awesome ones too.

                            F-Zero: Maximum Velocity (HARD!)
                            e-Reader (might have been good, if I could get my hands on more cards)
                            Robot Wars: Advanced Destruction (my brother sold it and an SP to me for $15!)
                            Jackie Chan Adventures: Legend of the Dark Hand (...what?)

                              Golden Sun
                              Golden Sun: The Lost Age
                              Fire Emblem 7

                              Lunar Legend was pretty good, but I'm not sure if it really deserves to be in the category of "Best GBA games."

                              Tactics Ogre is god.

                                  Oh boy, pretty much everything I owned on the GBA was awesome.

                                  A Link to the Past
                                  Super Mario World 3 (or something like that)
                                  Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
                                  Golden Sun 1&2
                                  Superstar Saga
                                  Harvest Moon: FoMT (this game pwns, no matter what Aqua may say)
                                  Final Fantasy 1&2
                                  Tales of Phantasia (this one was iffy, but overall I loved it)

                                  My one gripe was FFTA...That thing is like heroin. You know it sucks to do, but you're addicted. Which is never good. Remind me not to do drugs.

                                  I've got to get Fire Emblem. Whichever one that one is. 7, perhaps?

                                        MD: I had Sword of Mana for a while, but then I lost it. From what I remember, it was pretty fun...Is it worth me buying used again?

                                          I read a review for one of the Mana games, but it wasn't rated too highly.
                                          I wouldn't get Children of Mana on DS though. It's trash.

                                            Oh, Pokemon Sapphire was also great. Never owned a copy, but borrowed one for a while. It was awesome.
