that'
so crazy. I was a psx era kid. didn't know you could hire out GBA games.I used to rent a ton of shit licenced GBA platformers from my local Jumbo Video. The ones I remember are Tales of Desperaux (which I actually remember being quite good), Finding Nemo (an interesting Ecco the Dolphin-like game), and some BS about Jimmy Neutron fighting aliens in space. The GBA had so much shovelware, but every now and then you’d find a gem.
I also rented a lot of great games, too, like Chibi-Robo, Digimon Rumble Arena 2 and Digimon Battle Spirit, and Pokemon Crystal. Also, a VHS of the Donkey Kong Country cartoon, which I quite enjoyed. My rental store also had free popcorn made in-house and was next to a restaurant, so we’d go there quite often on Saturdays. It lasted way longer than it had any right to, but it was a great store while it was open.
