A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
things that are happening
Shrek Hassle at the Castle is easily described as a poor man’s classic Mario Bros. clone. Using one game pak, up to four players can mug each other and whoever has the highest score when the 99 seconds expire, a winner is declared. The controls are laggy, there is only one stage, no options, ducking […]
Star Fox Adventures on Nintendo Gamecube originally launched in 2002 and had a rather interesting pre-order incentive when purchasing the game through Circuit City. There was a also a pretty sweet bobblehead available through Target, which I also highlight in my video below:
A Sound Of Thunder is based on a film that completely flopped but somehow managed to get a GBA release. Surprisingly, this isometric shooter is rather impressive for a GBA game especially when it comes to the Single-Pak multiboot multiplayer mode. With 7 stages available for up to 4 players, there is a lot here. […]
Godzilla: Domination features a multiplayer smackdown for up to 4 players with the use of a single cartridge. This game’s Single-Pak link mode is rather limited but the music isn’t bad, load times are short, and can offer some mindless, short-lived fun. This game was also developed by Wayforward.
Rayman 3’s Single-Pak multiplayer mode is limiting but doesn’t really have any connection to the main single player campaign. This 2-player mode has players controlling a spaceship, using the face buttons to boost and shoot, and the first to five hits wins.
This NES to GBA port of Ice Climber has one critical feature over the Nintendo e-Reader version and the unlockable version found in Animal Crossing on Gamecube – the 2 player co-op mode. Player 1 can also select the starting level from the home screen. This video demonstrates this game’s multiboot mode.
Egg Mania is a sleeper hit puzzle game that is basically reverse Tetris. The best part, a robust multiplayer mode is available by only needing one game pak, making this one of better multi-boot modes available on GBA. This video explains this Single-Pak multiplayer mode along with was odd errors along the way.
The NES CLASSIC SERIES version of Pac-Man might have the most worthless Single-Pak link option on Gameboy Advance as it features all the same gameplay elements as a “pass the console” multiplayer mode. Single-Pak linking takes some effort so it is more efficient to just hand the GBA to your gaming partner if you want […]
F-Zero Climax is the 3rd and final title in the series to be released on GBA and it is a Japanese exclusive. Thanks to the dedicated work to passionate fans, this game has an English fan translation. Like the previous F-Zero games on GBA, the single pak link mode is very limited and acts a […]
Like F-Zero Maximum Velocity, F-Zero: GP Legend has a limited Single-Pak multiplayer mode, only offering 1 track through use of the same colored swapped vehicle. It basically acts as brief demo to the multi-pak link option.
