We were thinking about all of those sealed GBA games up for grabs and we just wanted to buy them all. Then, we remembered we have no money and looked at our own sad little pile of GBA games for some kind of solace. None was to be had.What about your GBA games? Got a lot? Got a little? Our of all your GBA games, which is your favorite? Astro Boy: The Omega Factor? It's up there! Metroid Fusion? Definitely another good one! What are your favorite GBA games?

I don't have very many (since I never had a GBA -- just a DS), so my choices are somewhat predictable:
FFTA
Advance Wars 2
Golden Sun
Fire Emblem

The Castlevanias: Aria of Sorrow is mandatory, no excuses. Circle of the Moon is a also a must. And Harmony of Dissonance... although that last one it's not as good as the others IMHO.
There is also the Castlevania Double Pack that includes AoS and HoD in the same cart, which is neat. Only thing I don't like about the Double Pack is that you can't use it to unlock the Mina Doll and start with a Rare Ring in Dawn of Sorrow; only the AoS cart works for that.

I used to have a bunch of gba games...but I slowly even up selling them for a quick buck (which I now regret).
My faves would have to be the first and second Golden Sun, Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission (even tho I could never beat the original nes game, guess I suck...) and Fire Emblem (6?). I should also put Mario Kart in that list since it did keep me awake during spanish class in H.S and the Super Mario Advance series (of which I still have the 4th one, SMB3 :3).

Having little space for my own toys (the kids slowly crept this one on me), I have ended up selling back most of my GBA games too. However, the short list of those I have kept is pretty much the same as yours: both Metroids, both Fire Emblems. I also have kept WarioWare, which started the series and remains, to me, the best of them and the only minigame collection that I can palate.

I only bought one GBA game for my DS so far: Counter punch. I like it as much to keep the dust out as I do for the actual game play.

Gunstar Super Heroes is essential and it still hasn't left my GBA slot since the game was released. Which will be something like 3 years coming this fall.
(Sure, I haven't played it all the time during those years, but it's still fun every time I play it)

The GBA is probably the only system that I've consistently finished the games during it's lifetime. I'm currently still finishing PSX and PS2 games, and I'm not even close to finishing Mass Effect and Ace Combat 6 for my 360 yet ^_^;

I completely agree. The GBA stands up to the SNES as my favorite console because I thoroghly enjoyed every game I purchased for it.

I only have Sword of Mana and Pokemon LeafGreen, since, like others, I missed out on the GBA. I'll have to try and find some of these~

Sonic Advance 3... but it got burnt in the toaster by my bratty brother (it lives on as a Visualboy ROM) and Pokémon Emerald. Fire Red was pretty good, too, but ended up with my sister and her level 96 Charizard named Chazze (which was traded to Emerald but I started a new save... whoops) He lives on in Pokésav. And... Yu-Gi-Oh world Tournament 2004 and the Sacred Cards. Also, although I never owned it, the Minish Cap was a once in a while treat.
