I recently bought a GBA for $5, and I've been looking for something kinda strange... I bought Driv3r, and I decided that I really liked it, so my question: How many good 3D games are on the GBA? I tried Duke Nukem Advance at a friend's one time, but I thought it was boring, and the graphics were really bad. But besides those two, are there any others?

I have a fair few GBA games, and I'm struggling to think of a single one... Though I'll get D3 based on your recommendation.
Though I've never played it, Doom II seems to be the other "best" FPS on the system. You might try the Tony Hawk games. They have a pseudo 3D thing going for them that is fairly well done.
Really though, like the SNES, the system's strong point is its 2D games... which forces the developers focus on sometimes neglected features... like gameplay.
3D games on the GBA are very hit and miss. 2 psuedo 3D games that I remember are Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles and Star Wars: The Flight of the Falcon.
 Flight of the Falcon was an awful space shooter, Jedi Power Battles was a pretty decent handhelp beatemup.
Also, if I remember correctly, Mario Pinball had a bit of a 3D look going for it, and I remember that being a great pinball game for on the go.
Mario Kart Super Circuit has the same psudo-3D graphics as it's SNES predecessor, Super Mario Kart. 007 Nightfire apparently had it as well, though I've never had the chance to play it. I'm going to take a look at Driv3r at your reccomendation, though. Thanks for mentioning it.
Yeah, D3 is great. Huge game, Miami alone is almost the same size as Vice City. I tried kill.zone, and I thought it was really great, except that enemies were too far away for you to see, but they could shoot you clear as day. I'm gonna take a look at Nightfire.
