Robopon 2 was available in 2 versions – Ring and Cross. Both versions featured the same Single-Pak Link multiplayer mode that supports 4 players in real time. Mixing a slide puzzle with classic Pipe Dream, the goal is to guide a moving skull to your opponent to cause damage. It isn’t the best game, as […]

Simple 2960 Tomodachi Series Vol. 1: The Table Game Collection is the first of 4 Volumes and features 4 Single-Pak linkable multiplayers games: Mahjong, Othello, Shogi, and Hanafuda. Unfortunately, you need to restart all GBAs if you want to switch games and English speakers will have a tough time with 3 of these 4 games.

Simple 2960 Tomodachi Series Vol. 3: The Itsudemo Puzzle features a Single-Pak link multiplayer mode that supports 4 players. This reaction-based puzzle game has players using a cursor to align stars into rows. It is a very simple yet surprisingly fun game, a sleeper hit and worth the hassle of connecting link cables.

Simple 2960 Tomodachi Series Vol. 4: The Trump is a Japan exclusive digital card game compilation that sports a Single-Pak link multiplayer mode for 4 players.

Did you know the Shin Megami series has a block pushing puzzle game? And this GBA puzzle game has a race-to-the-finish Single-Pak link mode that supports 4 players?

Translated to Tea Puppy, Ochaken no Heya mixes Animal Crossing and Nintendogs around a card game compilation. The Single-Pak link mode is thoughtfully designed as the linked players can play any of the 6 available games without needing to restart the GBAs. Also, there are freaking puppies with tea leaves as ears!

Sequel to Chee Chai Alien, a Japan-exclusive GBC game that featured Rumble Pak support and prominent use of the infrared sensor, this GBA puzzle game has a very simple presentation. Don’t let the childish shapes and colors fool you, this is a pretty fun 2p game and you don’t need to know Japanese.

This Japanese exclusive release of Mr. Driller features a Single-Pak link multiplayer mode that can support 4 players. Options are limited in this 200m race to the finish so this 90 second multiboot mode acts like a demo to the full game.

Saibara Rieko no Mahjong is another Japan exclusive Mahjong game that features a Single-Pak link multiplayer mode for 4 players. I have no idea how to play Mahjong but I do know this earlier GBA release is no better, no worse, and really no different from the other multiboot Mahjong titles.
