Hey,

just curious really...wasn't the most popular gameboy by a long shot...but it was by far my favourite..smaller with the higher density screen, the metal body...love it.

Just playing through Fire Emblem, then going to go through the second, then on to Advance Wars!!

Happy memories...

any happy times with any specific GB games you would recommend?

thanks!

I have a game boy micro, but i didn't like that it's hard to use some of the buttons at the same time on certain games, I think Metroid Fusion, not sure, been a long time since i played it.

I never used to go out without my Game Boy Micro. It was really small and handy as well as pretty robust, unfortunatly my hands started to grow and it became really hard to play. I now struggle with most small handhelds and controllers due to my shovel hands.

I didn't like it because the SP was fine for me. In addition I have large hands so it being Micro doesn't help.

I never had a Micro, I'm happy with the SP. Games I would recommend would Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis and Astro Boy: Omega Factor.

gba = good, gba sp = better. gba micro = a gba that nobody really asked for. I like the fact that the GBA sp closes, so you can keep the screen in good shape. and its plenty small. the micro is too small.

It is truly a nice piece of hardware, but there were not many people interested in it to begin with.

I had one that I got for dirty cheap when the Toys R Us here closed, but I never opened it to play it so I think it got gifted to a relative.

I found the Micro to be too small. The GBA SP was a better fit for me.

I wanted a Gameboy Micro, but then the DS came out and I bought that instead.
