I'm not a GBA owner myself,but I've gotta ask,just how playable can some of these old classics be,I mean the controls aren't exactly like the old trusty joystick control?

Time to put an Afterburner-GBA on my x-mas wishlist

btw. some screenshots and a video of Gods 'Advance' are here.

Control with a joypad was much better when I had the miggy, and in the GBA, the adition of a second button means you can do some extra stuff with it (perhaps use A to make a wee feeble shot or pass, and C for the high lob shot), BUT the GBA's D-PAd is one of the most atrocious controllers I ever used...

The old white Gameboy's D-Pad was MUCH better.

Damn, Kametyken's link isn't working... does anyone have the Gods vid still? Glad to see these old classics are making a comeback.

Cheers, Kametyken. Very cool site.

The movie looks pretty much identical to the Amiga version, which is nice.
