A blast from the past.

So, today was my birthday, and I'm one year older again. It was a really nice day, thanks to my other half, who got me a very nice present. Now, most people would probably not understand this present at all, but for me it was golden. My very own Gameboy Advance. At some point a while ago I told him that I always wanted one when I was a kid, but never got one. I had the original Gameboy, and the Gameboy Color, so naturally I wanted a GBA as well. For my 11th birthday I got a Gamecube instead, so at that point I kind of forgot about the GBA.

Anyway, so I got it today, but naturally I don't really have any games yet. The only game I own for the GBA is Pokemon Ruby, which I bought as a kid and was able to play via the Gamecube with the Gameboy Player device. I also asked my little brother if he happened to have any GBA games, and he had only one, Happy Feet. So I borrowed it, and now those are the two games I have. Ofc I can play any of my old Gameboy games on it as well, but that's not why I wanted the console in the first place... Included in this birthday present is also a GBA game of choice, so I am going to have to do some research to find some good game that I want to play, and hopefully to a reasonable price. Old Nintendo cartridges can be pretty damn expensive in some cases...

Yeah, yeah. "Oh my god you can download pretty much any GBA game and play it on PC." Ofc I can do that. But that's just not the same thing as the real deal. This was a GREAT birthday present, that's all I have to say.
