gamers on the go

[Shapermc]

First, Darius R is way too easy. I beat it on Normal with 1 life with in 20 tries. I 1CCed it in about 10 tries. I have 1CCed all paths on normal. Hard is not much worse, but you need to be a little quicker. Gradius Galaxies is still top teir for the portable shmup. It is like Gradius GH or something.

I am really in love with Puzzle/Action games for protable systems. I can't really get into any RPGs anymore, let alone portable ones. I tried Onimishu Tactics, but it was really simple and boring so I sold it ... gave it away at the point where you get the gem to fight to gain abilities. That made it too easy.

I also love the Castlevanias.

I do use mine for travel, but it is mainly when I go camping or drive up home (14 hours each way 2 times a year). The main ammount of play time comes from when my wife is playing something on the TV, I will sit next to her with my SP... err now DS and play something. I love it for that. Also in bed. Like the advertisement I play in bed, alot... married.

it's too bad that there aren't any really great shooters for the gba.

I thought Iridion II was a really solid shooter. Not up to Gradius Galaxies but still worthy of the $20 you can find it for. I just despise the damn password system, is it that hard to put battery backup in a GBA cart.

speaking of shooters and action games, i'd sure like to see guardian legend on the gba....but who knows if that'll ever happen.

I just p-touched a password that unlocks everything to the cart so I did not have to worry about it. Anyway, I don't like the healt bar system or the 3/4 overhead bs. Still, better than Darius-R... I have not tried Invader or Steel Empire yet.

Doesn't your wife complain about the backlight lighting up the walls and ceiling?

During vacations and such, I played my Nomad and Game Gear all the time, mainly playing quick, pick up and play games.

You have to be the last person on Earth still playing fucking Game Gear games.

So shaper, marriage actually does kill the sex life? Because if it doesn't you've got to be careful not to get juices on your screen. I got it on the windshield once and that shit does not come off.

Nope she sleeps like a rock.

No, me playing kills it Seriously though, I find time for both. And a little WD40 cleans that shit up.

Well, it's been 3 days, and I am in love with my new DS. Granted there is really only 1 or 2 DS games worth owning at the moment. The extended GBA library will keep me busy for much time to come and there are plenty of good DS games on the way.

some things have changed since this thread started. there were less ds games available and i don't think the psp was out yet. anyway, what's everyone playing on their travels nowadays? i don't have a ds or psp yet but the gba's still keeping me entertained. currently playing through the bonus parts of megaman battlenetwork 5. seems like i'm the only person on the boards who plays this series. i was gonna pick up ff4 but i think i'll just go ahead and wait for ff5.
