Just by reading the topic title...'bout damn time, damn time. Scratch one of the list of "Reasons People Come up with to justify Piracy," huh?

Yes, a very nice concept, especially if you can't get your game in the demo GBA at the game store and you don't want to get lost in the face of heated competition.

If they have a good system set up, it might be possible to make game demos without adding too much cost to development and come up with a reasonable facsimile of the finishe product...god help the company that makes a demo with better music than the GBA can produce, though... =:P

Hey, that was cool. Thanks pango, and thanks Blizzard!

Wow, after playing it...wow, plays like a real GBA :O

Didn't have any headphones on so I couldn't hear what it sounded like, but that was fun :)

Awesome!

I never understood what to do in Vikings, I have the Genny version.

But I had always wanted to try RNRR. I really like that game. That's a pretty neat idea.

Ozzy!!!
