@retrotechtive Nice! The best deals always seem to be from people that can't do basic maintenance. πŸ˜‚Good on you for keeping one out of the landfill πŸ‘

    @repeatro I'll give this a shot with a classic favorite of mine. If you are familiar with the game then It should be fairly easy.πŸ±πŸ‘œπŸŽ©πŸͺ„

    @flwwhtrbt I love it! Those things are absolutely gorgeous. Every time a company lets us down it provides an opportunity for a fan's passion to shine. πŸ₯°I'm definitely looking forward to the article.

    @repeatro @DigiVoyager Yes! I absolutely remember this one. I don't remember if it was on the DS or the 3DS but one of them when I played it online competing racers would do this and I had no idea how to catch them.

    @repeatro Hmmm... That's a good point. I don't recall having an issue with the controls back in the day, but I wonder how I would feel coming back to Super Circuit after playing so many of the later installments?Yep. I'm definitely going to dig this one back out and revisit it.

    @repeatro I'll be honest... I never liked Super Mario Kart on the SNES.I understand that a new genre has to start somewhere and it was a neat idea but it just felt too primitive or basic to me... like it was missing something.I remember picking up Super Circuit not long after it was released and I was blown away.This is how a sequel should be! It refined and built upon everything before it! It was also a real showcase for the GBAs capabilities.I need to dig this one back out.

    @flwwhtrbt That translucent case along with those LEDs looks pretty awesome!Also, I like the idea that it can double as an MP3 player. That should be a standard function of many of these devices... something my beloved Analogue Pocket is missing.

    @repeatro Nice trivia! I had no idea that these games were outsourced. The first Mega Man game for Game Boy was the only one that I ever owned as a kid. I had several friends that were really into Mega Man and I loved watching them play the games but myself, I couldn't do it. I found them so crushingly difficult that I actually broke my first Game Boy in a fit of rage over the game. Lol It was at that point I decided I would appreciate the Mega Man games through others.
