No penguins is the cut off for me, how am I supposed to know which biscuit to eat while playing?

Penguins or Chupa Chups for platformers, Quavers for puzzle games.  It's the rule of Amiga.

Accompanying sticker books are also crucial.

its interesting to hear someone say the gba was your fav ever.

I meant it's my favourite console design-wise, but I'd actually put the GBA in my overall top three anyway.  It's how I played many of the SNES classics for the first time, and also had a number of superb original games.

What's the going rate for a boxed micro? About £25?

I paid £38 for mine a couple of years ago.  Was mint though.  Check out the Famicom one Reg.

I have GBA and Micro. Stupidly sold my Zelda SP when I was desperate for cash one time. 

Another shout for Circle of the Moon. One of my favourite in the series, and the best one on GBA. 

The Micro is gorgeous indeed. 

Haven't read the entire list of games you have, Moot, but do you have Astro Boy? Great game.

Edit: yes, you even hearted it in your list.

Guardian Heroes Advance (bit of a let down but still decent).  Double Dragon is excellent on GBA, as is the Ubisoft TMNT scrolling beat 'em up.  Good Final Fight port too. 

Iridion 2 and Gradius Galaxies are the best shmups I've played on it, it's not particularly well stocked in that genre. 

My copy of Gunstar Heroes Advance is missing too, fuck knows what I've done with all the games I can't find.

The Micro's great, perhaps the most portable gaming device ever. You can fit it in a pocket that already contains something else like a wallet if you want. I sold all my Game Boy stuff to get one on the day it came out (or thereabouts). Kinda regret getting rid of my Pokemon Blue and Pokemon Silver carts though...

Extremely decent.

My Mega Drive is modded too, not all games work with it switched to 60Hz though.

I haven't come across a game that needs to switch to 50Hz yet. Having said that I don't have that many MD games. Have a region switch too which can change the game title screen - it affects Toki and Raiden Trad for example

I'm pretty sure Gunstar Heroes (amongst others) doesn't work.

I bought a copy of 688 Attack Sub for the Mega Drive and it arrived today. I had to buy a physical copy because you basically need to read the manual to play it properly and I couldn't find a scan of it anywhere.

i have an sp and the GBA player for the GC but haven't got much in the way of games - I only got the SP to play Pacman Vs.

I have a CIB Pokemon Blue if you are interested.....though it does seem to go for a decent price on eBay.

I've got James Pond Robocod on SFC and Megadrive in Japanese, took freaking ages to find.  Still love it, although clearly the Amiga version was best, followed by SFC, the MD version is pretty poor.

I won't have my Pokemon on it though. The Pokemon of my childhood that are gone forever.

ah - ok - I always fancied having a look at the likes of Pokemon Stadium but felt it wasn't worth the effort since I didn't play the GB games enough to build my monsters up.
