super dodgeball!
 I was playing that on an emulator....it's so much fun!  Maybe it's because I loved it when it was on the original nintendo.

Are afterburners easy to install? I can solder/cut fine.
Do they have any protruding peices that would interfere with other accessories? The more I read about the GBA...the more I want one. I d/led some roms and an emulator (visualboyadvanced)...fun stuff. |

You just need to drill a hole for the dimmer. It's tough to install from what I've read, but not overly complex, just very delicate. Apparently the led or the film cannot be touched or it'll ruin it.
Think about getting that Gameboy Cube thing. If you're getting games for the GBA you might as well play them on your cube when you're home. |

There are some good lights out there is you don't want to go the afterburner way. The Worm Light works well enough next to the sun. The glare is just hard to deal with in some games.
Super Dodgeball is a must get. Love that game! The Legend of Zelda: Link To The Past is great (and its a direct port from the old SNES) Phatasy Star 1,2,and 3 will all be out this month all on one cart. Got to love it when they put more than one game on a cart!

The afterburner works great. I did a bad soldering job it seems...when I play Street Fighter Alpha 3 it blacks out for like a second.
My recommendation is Street Fighter Alpha 3 and maybe Puzzle Fighter when it's released in February.
