Need some GB/GBC reccomendations

Yeah. The reason why the Pokemon games' batteries run dry is because they're real time clocks that ALWAYS draw power. standard sram saves draw far less and last far far longer.

Wait, didn't they not start using the always-on clock thing until Gold and Silver?

[Hobie-wan]

Red definitely doesn't have a clock. If you've got a cart open for cleaning the pins or are looking at the inner board online, if there's a little aluminum can on the board, that's the oscillator crystal for a clock.

By the way, where in town are you shopping?

If you haven't yet, be sure to drop by A Gamer's Paradise (next to the Pinball Hall of Fame), and Wii Play Games (Nellis and.. DI I think?). Both have a strong selection and reasonable prices.

Gamers Paradise on Nellis near Lake Mead.

Only other place I have been to is Gameworld on Charleston. Then have a good selection of games, but A LOT of what they have looks ratty and the stickers on all of them are pretty damn tattered. On top of being overpriced (notable example $250 for Shantae--'boxed', not in original plastic, missing a couple things and the box is dinged to hell).

I've been to the one by the Pinball Hall of Fame once before I left for Afghanistan, but it's way the hell of of the way for me. But it sounds like I need to give them another go.

And there's another place that's way out like 215 and Lake Mead I think. Right by a Capriottis. Good selection of stuff, I just didn't find any games I wanted--again, before I left for Afghanistan.

Hmm, I haven't been to the store on 215 and Lake Mead, if you remember the name, give me a heads up.

Definitely check out Wii Play Games. Sounds like it's more in your area, and the selection there is great.

As a kid I LOVED bomberman GB! That game uses passwords. I would reccomend Super mario Land 2(Another one of my favorites as a kid) even though it uses a battery to save because it is such a charming game and is pretty short. Also pick up pokemon pinball, that game is incredibly fun!
