What handheld(s) do you own?

[JackAxe]

GB Micro went kaboom.

Compared to the GBA SP, DS, and everything else, sales were so low, that I dont even think they make it anymore.

It was just too small.

I own one of the original PSP systems back from the launch.

I couldn't justify getting a GBA Micro. I liked the idea, but it just wasn't practical. Maybe if it had played GB or GC games -- which would have looked silly, I might have got one.

yeah i remember having it, but i think i got in trouble and my parents took it back. i think i had it on one camping trip, and that was it



yeah, the whole console in your hands.....i had nba jam. it was great. i remember having bill clinton on my team

Fortunately I was working full time and out of high school when I picked mine up. Last time I recall my parents getting annoyed with me about buying a game, was when I spent my entire paycheck on Ghouls 'n Ghosts for Genesis -- this was of course a few years prior to the Nomad -- that game was well worth it.

Yeah, it was better than the later vomit. I played it after having a Hernia Operation. The part where Guybrush is on the boat and his crew is admiring a whale, while the boat is being boarded, had me laughing in pain.

Have you played The Dig? I've beat it 5 times that I recall. It's the only GA I turned around and played right after completing it.

What's the Dig like, is it funny like the Monkey Islands? I need to get round to playing through MI3 and MI4 again. Is there a game better than Monkey Island? I really wish they would get on with making MI5. They're not working on one yet but they've always said they will make another.

I thought the Micro was also released in limited quantaties, and that it was a "celebrationary" device for the roaring success of the GBA? Hense it being released around the same time as the DS. I think it's great myself. It's my main GBA system. Just drops into pockets like nobodies business

Thing about the GBA and their sequels is that each one has its benefits. They don't necessarily feel like successors, more like they're part of the big family. Unlike the PSP and DS whose remakes were much better than the originals.

Handhelds are great for me....I'm never home and I put in a lot of work on set so when I get some free time I pop in a game. I have two PSP(phat & slim) I'm going to modify the big one...I always wanted to pop into that universe.

I have a Nintendo DS, though I don't use it all that much. For that matter, my Wii and my GameCube don't get much use now, either.

You mean this. You'll just need to pick up the single DS card that holds the single micro-sd card.

I have it on my DS. I'm currently playing Monkey Island again.

I own and have played/beaten EVERY lucas Arts graphic adventure with the exception of Grim Fandango -- but I own it. I just haven't got to it since it would require me sitting at my PC.

I would buy an official DS release from Lucas Arts if they ever came back to their senses and stop vomiting out Star Wars cheese.

Thanks for the info, cant wait to play games I missed out on. Can you reccomend a certain card to get SCUMMVM games up and running?

YOu don't kNnow about the "The Dig!" Let me tell you.

The Dig -- ~i~ aaaaahhhhHhHhhHhhhhh. -- was Lucas Arts last great graphic adventure -- it came out prior to MI3 --- and IMO it's their best all around. The game is funny, has an excellent sound track, and it's story was great on so many levels. And the fact I went back for seconds really blew me away and says so much about this game.

Here's the Dig museum:

Play MI3, but really, I mean really, don't play 4 -- it's AWFUL with its 3D vomit approach. The games not even a point and click adventure. They dumbed it down for the PS2 generation so got rid of mouse support. I got stuck in only one part of the game -- not because the puzzles were hard and clever, but because I couldn't position Guybrush to the exact spot at the exact angle to press an obvious button. Even after I looked for help, which told me to press this obvious button -- which I already new, because it was so freaking obvious, it still took me another half hour of excruciating movement to get Guybrush to exact coordinates. ANyway, F* Lucas Arts and Aspyr for this abomination! ANd F* them for Monkey Fu!!!

That looks *cool*!! The Dig that is. A graphic adventure that I haven't played yet? I know there are a lot of fan made ones but so many of them are crap. I'm really looking forward to Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Youth though.

I was scared off by MI3 at first because of the new direction the graphics went, however, I really enjoyed it when I played it. I remember enjoying MI4 too although I don't think I found it very hard and had it completed in a night.

Back on topic though, I've got a GameBoy Advance but the fact it didn't have a backlit screen really killed it for me. I always planned on getting one of those Afterburner things to give it a backlight but never got round to it. As such the only carts I bought were Super Metroid and Yoshi's Island. The second of which I'd played on the SNES before but enjoyed anyway, the first I heard was incredibly but just couldn't get into.

I have an Afterburner in my old GBA. It worked, but it wasn't great, just OK.

Have you played the Dig, you questioned it? I found it on Amazon for $7.99 new for Mac.

And being a NERD, I have the soundtrack on my iPod along with various tracks from MI1/2/3.

Well, I'm off to finally get a black DS lite for myself, or if UltraNEO* is on the way I'll just steal his new FF edition. Gamestop will give me about $60 credit on mine towards a new DS.

I'm going to try to find it for cheap over here. Looks awesome!! I've got too many games to play right now, about a third of the way through Mario Galaxy, need to finish Trauma Centre Second Opinion and have now got back into WoW again.
