There are several playable games in Nintendo’s fourth Game & Watch compilation but two are multiplayer compatible through Single-Pak link – Donkey Kong 3 and Boxing. DK3 pits two players in a tug-of-war style match by shooting water bubbles at each other, trying to push a fireball and a Boo to the other side. The […]
DK King of Swing has a Single-Pak link mode that acts has a quick demo to the main game. The goal is to reach the top of each of the three stages before your opponents. Unfortunately, the AI bot controlled Donkey Kongs play perfect matches every time, giving the player zero chance of beating them. […]
Mario Kart: Super Circuit is pretty much as good as it is going to get in terms of a multiplayer racing game on Gameboy Advance using only one cartridge. Up to four players, each controlling a palette swapped Yoshi, can compete in four tracks which are all call backs to the SNES original. This video […]
Originally debuting in 2007, Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space Remastered has been upgraded over the original.

F-Zero Maximum Velocity was one of the handful of Gameboy Advance games that launched with the system in 2001. For the time, it was a quality racer and was one of the first games to feature a Single-Pak link mode for up to four players playing from one copy of the game. This video demonstrates […]
Most Mario titles on Nintendo’s Gameboy Advance includes Mario Bros. Battle, a multiplayer offering that takes advantage of the GBA’s multi-boot capabilities.

In SYNTHETIK 2 mankind’s utopia has been torn apart by the rise of the Machine Gods, determined to strike back. The faltering human resistance movement has one last hope – a forgotten android prototype tucked away in a secret lab. SYNTHETIK 2 is an unforgiving tactical shooter rogue-lite where you must experiment and adapt to […]
The GBA Roll Cage accessory by Mad Catz is probably the stupidest gaming accessory of all time. Looking like braces for your teeth, this thing is supposed to protect your GBA if you accidentally drop it. Thing is, the added weight and size makes it way more difficult to hold the system, which means you’ll […]
