| Cool! X-Box is great. I don't have it, but I've played my friend's X-Box and I am greatly impressed by the graphics. The ability to save games onto a harddrive is really cool, too. |

I'm surprised you still play Game Boy Advance.( ) I'm not too impressed with it since its so small and seems like its hard to find a full-sized game for it. Most of the games seem to be like mini-games. |

| I spend a lot of time waiting in my van all day. FR novels and Gameboy there. Spyro was fairly decent, I thought. Had to play Zelda too. |

| If you are a fan of tactical-RPG games, you've gotta try Tactics Ogre - The Knight of Lodos (if you can fine it) for GBA. But, as previously mentioned, it seems to be a mini-game. Which it is, I think.. a side-story to the 7 "episode" Ogre Battle Saga. Still, a fun game to pick up if you can find it. |

The two Castlevania games are excellant. I havn't played any of the other GBA games, but I've heard good things about some of them, like Metroid. The fact that Metroid and Castlevania are 2D was enough for me... |

| I don't see what's so wrong with GBA... think it's better than the basic GBs or GBCs etc... but then i've only done a few games... golden Sun (was good, but way too fricken short of a game... wait for the next)... other than that i just have X-men:Reign of Apocalypse... Breath of Fire 2 (still trying to get #1)... then i got all the RPG Pokemon... shush :P dun need the hassle about me owning them when i'm 20... goin on 21... they're basically the same as playing Final Fantasy games on the GBs... you roam around, fighting "monsters" (tho often try to catch them for your own use), find items, beat bosses, gain levels, etc. same kinda game play as most FF-type RP games... :P that's my limited GB game collection... and i'm borrowing my eldest Bro's Final Fantasy 1 legend 3 game... |

| Well, I didn't mean I hate GBA or anything. It's just I'd rather play a game not on a hand-held console with a bigger screen like PS2 or X-Box. |

| A lot of games I like (like 2D games) they don't make for regular consoles, anymore. I view the GBA as a miniture SNES, with similar types of games. I would certainly rather play them on a television screen, however! |

Yes, I have to admit that some old games like 2D games for older consoles are fun to play sometimes. My point is that I'd rather play on a television screen, though.  |

| Ah Eye of the Beholder....that brings me back to the days when a 486 was top of the range and even before then you had games like Moraff's World....<collapses in a fit of nostalgia> |

| Hmm... it was kinda funny how i could ALMOST use the maps and all from the original solutions manual for the original EotB... there are just slight changes to the maps, types of monsters (i REALLY wish there was a guide for this game that'd list ALL the monsters and ALL the items available in the game... i can't find anything on the monsters... like near the end the green plant-like looking beholder monsters that can be found on the last few levels... that can use an eye to gaze sleep... tho i found it really kewl that xanathar hardly used any eye attacks, and you can whoop him with magic... hehe |
