A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Yeah, Tetris still got it. The DX version was my most played game on the Steam Deck for a few months, despite hundreds of other games waiting the backlog. Kid made a great choice.

We were playing on the GBA SP, but the cart was the GameBoy original that came with my (definitely dead but I still have it) grey brick GameBoy.

I sold all my GB/A carts except that and FFTA.

Good old backwards compatibility. The only GBA cart I ever bought was due to my original NDS, still have it in fact.
Where these two your favorites?

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 19 hours ago

Those, the GBA port of Zelda ][, and Mario Land 2, but I hadn't had the cart for ML2 in over a decade by the time I was selling the rest.
