Ok guys, I'm going on Holiday on Friday, and I want to buy a GBA game to help me pass the time when I get bored (e.g the plane journey). The only problem is I can't decide on which one to get. So far, the shortlist is

Pokemon Ruby/Saphire (haven't bought a Pokemon game since Gold on the GBC, but I've read reviews and it's meant to be good)

Zelda:ALTTP (Played it, thought it was ok, but I reckon it could pick up later on)

Golden Sun

Feel free to recommend any other games.

Thanks in advance.

NESS keyrings?

hmmm...

They also give soundtrack CDs and the likes...

I actually prefer this kind of free gift to a crappy demo which is useless after a) 10 minutes of playing and b) Once I've got the games, should I decide I like them.

Mehehehehe. Dun worry though, i'll set up a safety net for the plane you're in to land on if your GBA does start making radio-related noises and the plane suddenly turns up-side down.

That reminds me of when I was on a plane a couple of years back, and I saw to kids playing with there Game Boys that were linked up. Scared the crap outta me.

Of course now I know that GB's don't cause planes to crash.








Why did I sence so much sarcasm in that post?

DeadMetal, you better watch your GBA doesn't radio jam the plane and make it crash. Cuz that would be such a shame now wouldn't it . . . . . .

No, that's out this Friday (which, unless Gatwick's WHSmith's opens at five in the morning, I will miss).

*Sobs*

No, it's out on the 13th.

NOM do give us the crappest gifts ever, mind. Whilst other mags give away game guides and the like, NOM give us NESS keyrings and blow-up Chain Chomp beach balls. What the hell??

Yes, I did. And then I bought the game and the males are sexually frustrated. Wierd . . . . . . . . .

Has the September issue come out then?

(the one after the Bow-wow/Chain Chomp beach ball)

If so, what free gift has it this time?
