HELP!!! I just ruined my summer by purchasing one of those monsters. I can't sleep without getting my two hour GBA fix. I lost interest in music, food and family. I just wanna play on my Gameboy.

The wonderful side is that I am now hoping for longer lay-overs when flying - "If I miss this connection, then I have another three hours of playing in the airport".

Am I the only one who's infected? Is there any help for me or am I forever stuck in Nintendo land?

-Mike

you're not the only one. i got gameboy color about 5 months ago and i'm a total addict. they are definitely a *must have* when flying. i swear, i don't know how i ever survived flying without one.

what games do you play?

my favs are zelda (i'm playing the ages one now), Space marauder, and powerpuff girls. <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

I play Rayman and Namco Museum. The Namco Museum is a compilation of old classics like Pole Position, Ms Pac Man, Galaga, Galaxian and Dig Dug.

I'm glad I'm not the only addict here. Maybe I'll see you in rehab?

xi likes Zelda....I think I'm in love...LOL.

yeah...gbc and gba do kick serious ass <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> Love the Zelda series, especially Ages and Seasons. Saved my life when I had jury duty...lol. While I'm not huge on most racing games, I do like F-Zero...funky tunes on that bad boy <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Right there with ya', Roem. I am loving the Zelda games for the CGB. Now if I could just avoid work so I could get in more play time. Hmmm. Sounds like a good time to call in sick...

I never played Zelda on the GB. What to get and where to start? Is it important to play them in the right order?

-Flix

No. Supposedly Ages and Seasons are linked together, but not in any order. After you finish one it will give you a code to use with the other.

i'm playing the Ages one now. I'm only on level 3 and it's already hard as hell. I don't know if I'm going to be able to stick with this one. Might be time for a new game.

Anyone have any suggestions for a good GBC
game?

I've been considering Seasons as first, and Ages second...only because Seasons is waaaaay easier than Ages. Ages is ultra difficult...that damn thing had my head spinning...lol.

xi, if you need any help on that, just ask <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> I've finished both Ages and Seasons linked and unlinked.

If you like the Zelda type, try 'Link's Awakening DX' or 'Oracle of Seasons' if you haven't already.

Thanks Roem! I finished "Link's Awakening" That was *really* good. Except the ending mad me sad because he'll miss his girl! haha. I'm such a sap. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I'll have to attempt my "Ages" again this weekend. I'm sure I'll hit you up for a couple hints. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Ask away! <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> I get plenty of e-mails looking for tips through my Zelda section of my site, so I'm used to helping <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Link's Awakening was a toughie too...if you could get through that one, you'll get through Ages eventually <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Having trouble with Zelda (or any other game for that matter)?! <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Go here for codes, strategyguides & walkthru's...If there's code for a game, it's in here <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I bought Zelda Ages a while ago and am currently stuck on it. Im currently on the water dungeon. I tried everything, the past and the present, and i have the stragety guide but cant seem to beat the game. I havent played it in a month or two because it is very frustrating. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

cheats....bah! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> That's the most pointless way to go through a game...no offence to those who use 'em, but it just makes no sense to me to play a game just to cheat through it...where's the challenge?

I'm with you, Roem. No cheats. Takes the fun out of having to solve a puzzle. Don't like hearing that "Seasons" is easier than "Ages" though. I've been struggling with that one. Grrr. Oh, well. That's why I have rechargable batteries. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

I would never use cheatcodes to finish a game, but I'll gladly admit, that from time to time I will use a strategyguide or walkthru' if I'm stuck. I think of it as asking an expert for advice, no shame in asking for help IMO.

Cheatcodes are for fun AFTER u've finished the game, like the nukes in C&C, Uzis in TR, the minigun in WipeOut <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

It's like when you're awarded cheats & playmodes in THPS, you can use 'em to do otherwise impossible stuff or simply get even more fun from the game <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Cheater-Smurf!!! I hate to fork out $$, a kidney and my firstborn for a game only to cheat, so I can finish in less time. I'm playing Bugs Bunny on the GBC. If it get much harder Bugs will end up as roadkill on the DC beltway!

Shakey, have you tried Ages yet? I'm telling you man...I'll admit, Seasons is difficult in it's own right...very difficult in fact, but Ages is like 10 steps over the insanity barrier...I mean that thing is HELL!! lol.

The only thing harder in Seasons than Ages is the final boss...you really gotta memorize his patterns to perfection to get through him...

Ok, I'll admit, I've already used the cheat book once on Ages. I knew what I had to do, but couldn't freakin figure this one thing out. It was like a stupid thing too that was totally obvious. Anyway, I *hate* to use the cheats, but sometimes I just can't help it, especially when I know it's something I'm just being dumb about.

As for the more difficult puzzles, I typically never cheat on them. I like the challenge, even if I have to put the game down for a week to clear my frustration.

i think i'm the only girl in this conversation. *lol*

That's ok xi...just makes you extra special <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Sometimes i get stuck, I really didn't want to buy a stragety book, but its better than having wasted 34 dollars and not playing it again. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

Seems like my link started a li'l discussion of it's own <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Roem, Shakey & Flix haven't u ever been stuck in game ??? It seems like u all enjoy adventuregames so at some point u must have experinced it, and when u did, what did u do about it ???

CheaterSmurf *lol* another alter ego perhaps ?...Naaaah I don't cheat <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

OK..I have used guides a few times. I admit it. I just wanted to give you a hard time, Smurf. I have to be pretty frustrated before I use guides though.

Only once....for Final Fantasy V not too long ago because I was absolutely desparate..felt like a rat in a trap...think I'm losing a little of my skill with age...lol <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> Other than that, the only times I've cheated is after I've beaten the games just for kicks. Games just come easy to me...been playing since I was about 4 or 5. One reason I don't play much anymore besides lack of time is most are too easy...finish 'em too quick.

The best challenges I've had as of late are the Oracle series and Majora's Mask before that...thinking man/woman's games <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Before that a good one that really drove me crazy was Perfect Dark...that was WICKED tough to beat at the Perfect Agent level. I almost broke my controller in the process, I was so pissed at that thing..LOL <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Sometimes you just need to use them.

Nope! Not yet, Roem. I would probably get confused playing two Zelda games at the same time. <img src="eek.gif" border="0">

So I'm not the only one consulting gameguides once in a while. Tho' it seems I use 'em a li'l more than our acegamer Roem. When it comes to action/driving/sports/platform-games I have no trouble beating 'em, but as far as RTS & adventures go I suck <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

If u read my prevoius posts u'll see that I agree with u on the cheats Roem...It's for enhancing gameexperiences AFTER u've finished it...Like the minigun-cheat for WipeOut 2097 <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Sometimes they are great to find alternate endings. When I beat Dino Crisis, I made sure I didn't save it so I could go back and do all 3 endings.

The first ended I did (the easy one) was SOOOO lame. The really hard ones were cool as hell.

Also, cheat web sites are good to find special moves....like in Tony Hawke 2. I got a couple hints on how to get high scores, etc. Ok, I'll stop dorking out! *lol*

Come to think of it, there were a few other games I used guides for...the Mortal Kombat series to find out how to do all the special moves and fatalities, animalities, babalities, freakalities, leakalities....whatever alities they had...lol <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

*Shakey peers into the room* Okay. I'll fess up. I kept getting spanked on "Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear" in one area, so I went online and found out where the guy was that kept snuffing me.

Guides/Cheats SUCK...anyone know how to finish the last level of Driver? <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

You know what... I have "Driver" and I love the game. I just never got into the actual missions. I found that I enjoyed just picking cities and evading the law better. Must be the rebel in me. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Smurffy thank you i needed those cheat codes.

Ha ha ha ha My stalker to the rescue, thanx baby <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Seems like we can conlude that cheats and guides aren't all bad...We've all used them at some point, tho' we might not use (abuse) 'em as much as the regular Joe Schmoe...We must be hardcore gamers, ^5 fives for us <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Maybe u guys should start a Counter Strike team <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
