    Default New GBA compilations from DSI

    http://www.dsigames.com/GamesList.as...CLASSICGAMEGBA

    Not bad, considering they're $15 each at Best Buy. If Gauntlet + Rampart supports single cart multiplayer, I'm all over that.

    About time DSI got their web site back up. So BB already has them? They don't have them on BB.com yet. EB was supposed to get them this week but now they have them listed for next week.

    That spyhunter/super sprint looks nice, as does the paperboy/rampage. Hmmm, I'll have to go by the local best buy tomorrow night to check this out

    If any of you guys pick some of these up, please post the multi-player options here. It says nothing about it on the box or the web site, but screenshots of games like Gauntlet show two people playing. Do these have single cart, multi cart, or neither?

    Oh, and what about high score saving, etc?

    Amazon has these listed as 'in stock'. I'm curious if these are 'good' games, and not some cheasy ripoffs. I'd like to get the $29.99 one with 6 games on it.
    GBA Pong/Asteroids/Yar's Revenge/Millipede/SBO/Lunar Lander

    I too am curious if these games keep the high score. (same goes for the Namco 50th cart too...

    BUMP! Just wondering if anybody's gotten around to trying these yet. I'm all over them if they have good multiplayer support.

    I bought the Gauntlet/Rampart combo game today at Best Buy for $14.99. I'm a big fan of Gauntlet and a portable arcade port of the game looked too interesting to pass up.

    To answer a few questions...

    No multiplayer support. It's strickly a one player affair.

    No saving in the middle of a dungeon, which is odd for a GBA title. Portable games should ALWAYS have an option to save anywhere, anytime.

    Those two points aside, it's still a great buy for a portable version of one of the best arcade titles ever.

    Count me out. That means Marble Madness and Super Sprint are probably the same way. Bleh.
