I won an ebay auction for advance wars 2 last week (for$3.50 including shipping) and it is the most addicting game I have played in a long time.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-27-2006 07:24 PM                        Never heard of it. What system is it for?  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 10-27-2006 08:15 PM                     Nintendo GBA and there is also a DS version.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-27-2006 10:34 PM                        Oh, you mean Advance Wars! Why didn't you just say so? I hear that is pretty good for a strategy sim, but I'm not really into those too much. Playing portable systems also hurts my neck after awhile since I am looking down on them. The DS rocks, though.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 10-27-2006 11:17 PM                     I can't think fast enough to play anything other than strategy and RPG games. I won a couple DS games for $5 also, so I guess I will need to go buy a system.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-28-2006 01:14 AM                        The DS rocks. Ask Brad's friend Chris (not you), he has one. I recommend Phoenix Wright on that system. It's as slow as you want it to be yet still awesome.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 10-29-2006 02:36 PM                     I went ahead and picked up a DS. I don't really like the stylus and the games I got kinda suck, but what can you expect for $5? I noticed that the GBA games look about 10x better on the DS, better color and a much brighter picture. It is also nice to see that they went back to a regular headphone jack. Overall, not bad.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-29-2006 06:13 PM                        A $5 DS? I sold my original DS for around $95 when I picked up the Lite. With all of the money saved, you can rent a hooker or maybe buy a snow blower.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 10-29-2006 08:03 PM                     No, No, I got two games for $5 each off of ebay. I paid full price for the system. I bid minimum bids on a lot of auctions and every once in a while I get really good deals, but I lose about 99% of the auctions.  |  IP: Logged
