Just bought Gunstar Future Heroes for Â£9.99 from Play and can happily report that it is ace. Well 'ard though. (Don't let the first level lull you into a false sense of security)

Also:
PokÃ©mon
Fire Emblem
Zelda: Minish Cap
Mario Vs. Donkey Kong
Super Puzzle Fighter II
Any of the old NES Classics if they're dirt cheap (but only if)

Fire Emblem and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. My favorite games on the GBA... great, great strategy games. Not much else is needed...

Cardiff Game (Queen St.) has a new copy of Puzzle Fighter II for Â£12

Just thought I'd mention it if anyone was looking for a copy - can be quite difficult to pick up these days

hmmm, maybe we should have a rare-ish game spotting thread, I'm a bit bored of paying premium ebay prices

- what do ya reckon?

In a place called 'BB plaza' - about 5 floors with coloured sections. Pretty much as soon as you walk in there are about 4 shops that sell GBA games. The good thing is you can haggle! We got scrabble GBA for 30ringgit (approx 4.50).. If there's anything you want me to look out for, let me know as we're back in KL in a few days time

(and on the fifth floor are about 3 different dodgy pc/ps2/xbox software shops.. shame a I've only got a gamecube)

Yes, there is a terrifying monorail thing I have to sprint under to get to bb plaza from the hostel (just past the ladyboys!), I haven't been on it yet, may I'll give it a spin on one of the days before I leave.

As Regards the games, I'll see what I can do for you! Oh, with regards SMB, I think I remember seeing one of those perfectly legal carts with 80000 games on including all the SMB Advances (for around 100MYR, a bargain!), would that do or is there a specific one you want me to look out for (costing around 40MYR.. Oh, 6.7MYR = 1GBP.. I think)?

And don't worry, If I find them I'll check them first on my old gba before buying them.

Donkey Kong Country series. Ports of some of the best 16-bit platforming that isn't Sonic or Mario-based.
