More Jak Attack or Why I Drove over 100 miles
PS2 Jak II - $2.99
http://www.gamestop.com/ps2/games/jak-ii/26839
Already have Jak 3 and recently purchased the first Jak and Daxter. Great Animation, Great Explore and Great Platformer. NAUGHTY DOG is the developer. Why are you still reading this, go get yours!
I'm still debating if
Jak and Daxter Lost Frontier is worth getting, anyone play it?

GBA Activision Anthology - $2.99

The $2.99 game that this OCD collector drove for a couple hours to get. Justified since it is so hard to find, expensive online. It was actually 160 miles round trip.
Atari 2600 graphics are perfect for the GBA, all the blocky pixels reduced and smoothed to the small screen. A convenient stack of 2600 carts all packed into one GBA cart for portable 2600 gaming.
Two player is handled in a unique way.

For two player games, the developer implemented an interesting link cable idea: only one cartridge is needed, but that system will send just a basic program to a second GBA system in the chain that only transmits the button presses to the first system. Player two must view the action on the GBA with the cartridge. It can get a little awkward, and it was probably a technical compromise since networking GBAs would have probably been a tough task with an emulator sucking up all the processor bandwidth. It's definitely better than not having a two player option at all, that's for sure. And while it's best played on the GBA portables, it's pretty slick on the GameCube's Game Boy Player.
Laser Blast is so much easier then the Atari joystick pull and shoot. My favorite
Defender clone
Chopper Comand is also here. And
Kaboom is also quite playable with the game pad of the GBA. The real treat are some exclusives, only on the GBA!

Gamecube Skies of Arcadia Legends - $19.99

Another rare title, one of the great exclusive RPGs now on the Gamecube. Justified the GBA cart run above by picking this one on the way back. It was only thirty miles out.
Why buy a game I already have on the Dreamcast? When I played this RPG on the Sega, I dreaded hearing the GDRom drive kicking. Walk two steps, drive head kick and yet another random battle would appear.
The Gamecube looks to be identical graphics, but its nice not worrying about walking carefully to avoid an unavoidable battle. Extra missions in this one too, also great to rediscover the adventure. Weird how the Dreamcast is on two GDRoms and the Gamecube with extra stuff is all on one disc. I can't wait for the ship battles again!
Oh looky whats that GBA cart in the pic?
