GBA Dungeon Crawler. It is a pretty limited release by GBA standards and is only sold through an eBay store.

It may not interest everyone here, but I am sure there are some dungeon crawler fans who would love this.

The seller has another GBA game, "Back to Stone". What are these things? I've never heard of them. I'll have to check these games out on usenet to see if they're worth a purchase.

Mazes of Fate is a pretty fun first person dungeon crawler. If you like dungeon crawlers, then it's a real fucking fun first person dungeon crawler. It really, really surprised me.

Back to Stone is a substandard 3/4 isometric action game that plays weak and looks like crap. I wouldn't recommend buying it with the intention of playing it. I made it a few levels into it and went back to Mazes of Fate.

They're from different developers, btw.

edit - here's the thread that convinced me to check out Mazes of Fate (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=135919). I really hope they do get the Wii version/sequel/whatever finished.

Both games are also available from Amazon. I'll second Roushimsx's opinion and recommend that you avoid Back to Stone and grab Mazes of Fate.

I think I might buy this when I get paid. i like to help out the small devs out there. I bought Qwak for that very reason and I don't regret it at all. :)

I clicked on the "BOY NOW" icon on their website and it took me to an eBay auction that says, "The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale."

However under quantity, it still says that there are 873 available.

What gives?

Those were published by 03 Entertainment. They were not released in big stores, but some distributors picked them up, so brick and mortar was the only place to obtain them.

That links to their old listing; the new one is here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220061546319).

Thanks!

I'll buy both Mazes of Fate and Back to Stone.

Freudian slip I guess.

Why would they have games???? I'll see if I have one around here...weird.

I see a Mazes of Fate 2 for the DS listed on ebay?? is that just a port then?

Yeah, I was in there looking for a new tie for work, and when I looked on the floor, I found a copy of Crash Bandicoot: Purple for GBA with a big $14.99 sticker, so I thought to myself, "There have to be more games for sale in here." Then, I went to the front of the store and found a value games shelf and there were a few crappy Xbox, PS2 and GBA games and I found Mazes of Fate and Back to Stone behind some others.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll check out my local one and see if I can snap up some copies to send to my friends / brother / etc. Pretty neat game that never got showered with the love it deserved :'(

I went to my Burlington Coat Factory tonight to look for these and found a copy of Back to Stone so it looks like most of them had them. No Mazes of Fate at my store though.
