Found my old GBA that I thought I’d gotten rid of because the battery was borked. Turns out the battery still works, it’s the charging light that’s borked. My 6yo saw me rocking Tetris and I let him take a crack at it. He played for two hours straight.
Yeah, Tetris still got it. The DX version was my most played game on the Steam Deck for a few months, despite hundreds of other games waiting the backlog. Kid made a great choice.

We were playing on the GBA SP, but the cart was the GameBoy original that came with my (definitely dead but I still have it) grey brick GameBoy.
I sold all my GB/A carts except that and FFTA.
Good old backwards compatibility. The only GBA cart I ever bought was due to my original NDS, still have it in fact.
Where these two your favorites?
Those, the GBA port of Zelda ][, and Mario Land 2, but I hadn’t had the cart for ML2 in over a decade by the time I was selling the rest.
