How many Gameboy cartridges do you have?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.video.nintendo.gameboy.advance (More info?)

Do you prefer quality or quantity? I lean towards the quanity side, I like
a little variety with my gaming experience. What I usually do is buy my GBA
games at rock-bottom prices when they go on sale. I opted out of upgrading
to the DS for now and I'm taking a wait and see attitude. I look forward to
the PSP coming out--not because I want to buy it, but it will force GBA game
prices to go down even further. When the GBA becomes obsolete I am going to
take advantage of the inevitable firesales of GBA games.

I have:

GBA:
-Rocky
-Chessmaster
-Sim City 2000
-Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
-Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
-Eye of the Beholder
-Super Mario Bros.
-Legend of Zelda
-Donkey Kong
-Namco Museum
-Midway Arcade Greatest Hits
-Konami Arcade Advanced
-Yoshi's Island
-Pac-Man Collection
-Super Ghouls & Ghosts
-Activision Anthology
-Fire Pro Wrestling II

GBC/P:
-Alone in the Dark
-16 megabit flash cart

I'm also getting Atari Anniversary Advance for the GBA in the mail very
soon.

The drawback of having so many games is to find a convenient way to store
them. I use a Pro Gamer'z case:
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00009AVO6.01-AIGI2YLZJE0LN._SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg

And I use plastic cases to place the cartridges inside of them:
http://i8.ebayimg.com/03/i/03/4f/f6/75_1.JPG

I don't really use the PG case to store any accessories. The top
compartment is used for the manuals and the bottom compartment I place the
SP and stack 6 cartridges in the 4 corner sections. I use the second SP
section to place my 2 GBC/P carts. I might remove the foamy of the 2nd SP
section to place an additional 6 cartridges.

I should edit my posts more carefully, I meant to say that I stack 6
cartridges in the 4 corner sections for a grand total of 24 cartridges (I
have 17 now, but I have 7 empty cases)

To discuss games? When I see a thread I'm interested in, I'll post. In the
meantime I'll mostly lurk.

It just seems odd to lurk in a GBA group when you have 1 GBA cart.

I trade my games in as I finish them so don't have more than 1-2 at a time.

I bought my Game Boy Advance only a few months ago. Initially I was
going to buy it just to replace my Game Boy, whose screen has a lot of
burned-out vertical lines on the left and right edges; but when I saw
that the Game Boy Advance could play some Super NES games I'd never
played (due to never having owned a Super NES), I decided to take a
closer look at what was available for the Game Boy Advance itself.

I have:

Super Mario World
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Final Fantasy I & II
Mario Pinball Land
Ice Climber (a good deal at the $10 I paid for it)

and for the original Game Boy:

Game & Watch Gallery 1, 2, and 3
Wario Land I & II
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
Final Fantasy Adventure
Final Fantasy Legend III
Dragon Warrior Monsters

I had many other Game Boy games that I sold long ago.

Yeah I sold a bunch of games, actually all my original gameboy games long
ago on ebay and I regret it. I'd probably not play them anymore anyway but
for the nostalgic value. Games like Great Greed, final fantasy adventure,
thank god they came out with sword of mana for gba.

I've seen a number of reviews saying that Sword of Mana is very
bad---certainly worse than Final Fantasy Adventure. Does anyone
disagree?

I disagree, the only thing in it that I felt wasn't improved was if you
battled enough you got too strong for the last half or so of the game and
makes the battles not too hard, the enhanced story more than made up for
that though.
