having skimmed through the NeoGaf thread, I noticed a whole bunch of little gems

strangely enough the one that mainly caught my eye was... Medal of Honor - Infiltrator

now I've never played any MoH game, since... they seem to be generic FPS's (I may be wrong on this assumption), but the GBA game (Infiltrator at least) seemed to be the perfect combination of Cannon Fodder + Commando

needless to say, I downloaded a rom of it, since I like to try before I buy
I played through the first level, then decided that this game kicks ASS!

I immidiately ordered it on-line for about 7€ and it just arrived in my mail-box

this is a true glory to play and very OldSkool feel to it

thanks for the list, there's plenty more titles I'm interested in

I just found Minish Cap and Yoshi's Island (MC 9€, Yoshi 6€) which I am about to order

I must admit that the GBA graphics are top-notch, as I've only tried one game on the GBA before (Minish Cap), hence I knew nothing about the graphics on the GBA itself
I have emulated the machine for several years, but the resolution doesn't quite do justice on a larger screen, but on the GBA-SP screen it looks and feels absolutely wonderful

I am so happy to own this, that words can hardly describe it
I'll chalk this up as one of Nintendo's greatest successes

wow, I literally can't remember the last time somebody actually told me about a GBA game that I hadn't heard of that sounded interesting to me. Thanks!

if you like Commando, Ikari Warriors and those types of games, this is a must-buy

there are also missions which are based off of the old Operation Wolf (you use a crosshair to shoot enemies) and it all flows exceptionally well on the GBA

I found it rather cheap, but I don't think it's "supposed" to be that expensive

glad that I could nudge you (of all people) in the direction of a game for the GBA =)

it's just that I've read about and played soooooooooooooo many GB/A games on my own. It's rare that anyone mentions one I'm unfamiliar with anymore. But yeah, sounds cool.
