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. :)

I've never liked playing GBA games on my DS. Even more since I have a Lite. So the other week I bought a silver Mirco from Gamestation for £50 brand new, bargain lovely console.

I sold the GBA games I did have ages ago apart from one, Rebel Star Tactical Command. A great strategy game from the guys behind X-Com and Rebelstar. I also recently bought The Legend of Zelda which I’m enjoying a lot and because it was the top game on http://www.metacritic.com/games/gba/scores
Which is a great site giving you access to all the website reviews for games and an average score.

Still no guarantee that you will like the game but at least you will be able to make a more informed decision.

Ok, I'm in KL for 4 days as of.. now!

You still want the games? If so, which Mario Bros Advance would you like? (if it helps, I had the first one (with the original mario + mario bros 2 - not a great combination of games, imo.. I did get the re-issue of super mario 1 in cairns (i think) - great game, but I lost it somewhere between sydney and perth.. Anyway...) Please let me know soon!

Cheers,
