How did I miss Activision Anthology GBA?

[zektor]

I *just* got the game. I didn't even know it existed until last week. Well, with all of the Gameboy titles released left and right, I guess it's easy to miss a few. This title is great! 55 games, the patches, and most of all a portable 2600 experience! And my favorite Activision title is there...Laser Blast. I love this compilation!

Looked like a pretty sweet compilation. I passed at the time where I worked mostly because it was 30$ and it didn't have the one I REALLY wanted, Pitfall II. Wish I had kept it in mind, I'm sure it had a permanant price drop and I could have nabbed it cheap =\.

the game of pitfall II i just played on my gba has a bone to pick with you. ;) it doesn't have any of the licensed games (rampage, double dragon, ghostbusters ect.), maybe you're thinking of one of those?

Oh wow....that REALLY sucks now. I remember scanning the list and not seeing it there and couldn't believe it. I'll have to keep a look out for it now. It was defenitely pitfall II, nothing unlicensced, so I just missed it on the list.

looking at the back of the box, it is a bit tricky; it's not in the columnated list of games, but in the "never before released on any activision compilation" list just below. missed it myself the first time when i went back and looked...

It's actually not out in the UK (the PS2 version is though) and I picked it up last year when over visiting QoF. And then took it to CGE...

Cool, Mayhem!!!

I gotta say that I was pretty impressed with Aspyr for Activision Anthology. For their first-ever released game on the GBA (actually, I believe that they released AA simultaneously with Wakeboarding Unleashed, but still...), they could've done a lot worse (Aspyr is primarily a Mac game developer, but it expanded its horizons - without dropping the Mac game development - by including PC games - like Tony Hawk 4 -, GBA games and Pocket PC games).

It's kinda funny to think that the Mac version of AA was released by MacPlay while their rival, Aspyr, released the GBA port...

Mayhem, I NEED that! Moreover, I need to go to the CGE at least once in my lifetime.
