Current Events > ITT I go on a journey trying to figure out what GBA game I'm thinking of.

(+) Yeah! (+)

A long time ago when I was a little kid my mom took me to walmart

I wanted a Yugioh game and the game I bought looked like a yugioh character, but it turns out it was not a yugioh game, dun dun dun

I ended up losing the game a little while after I got it though

I barely remember anything about this game, not even enough to describe the gameplay in any helpful way, I just remember that I feel like the box had a lot of orange
---

I am pretty sure it was at least top-down.
---

One of the Shaman King games?
---

hmm

the Shaman King Legacy case or whatever almost fits but I'm pretty sure it was more white than dark/black
---

Was it something with YuYu Hakusho? My friend in grade school had one of those GBA games and I thought it looked a lot like YuGiOh: The Sacred Cards....I could be totally wrong but hey worth a shot:)
---

If I figure this out I plan to *cough* obtain it and finally play it

I've literally had this in the back of my mind all of my short life

Losing a game you just started is fucked up

I have no idea why I haven't tried researching until now. I guess I almost really did forget

I don't think so, I think it was real real top down like gba Pokemon

Boktai 2?

Anime art style

top down

orange boxart

Konami also made it like Yugioh
---

Nah gameplay's definitely wrong

Pretty good idea tho but I think whoever was on the box was alone
---

If there's some list of every gba game with a screenshot of the boxart I will go through it all if I have to
---

There is literally no way it will live up to my expectations but this is my Moby Dick so

Try GiantBomb

Scurge: Hive?
---

nope
---

Shining Soul?


Do you remember what year it was? That could help narrow it down a lot.

2004 or 2005 or 2006

I'm sorry, i was young
---

#17 and #19 nope
---

Hmm. I assume you've ruled out the big name anime series, but just in case:





And my last two attempts before giving up:

Can you describe the main character on the cover art? Long hair? Weird hair? Etc

---

Jesus fuck delete post 32 I cant bear to look at it
---

You've been thinking about a shitty Beyblade game forever?
---

I wouldn't say "thinking . . . forever" because that implies I was obsessed

It was just something I never put to rest

But fuck me
---

Magi Nation? That was a Gameboy Color game though.
---

I meant it in a "it's been a nagging thought" way.

I'm still thinking about a shitty childhood game I rented for PS1. It might have been based off of a movie but I only remember it being about cartoon dinosaurs and it had a top down view. You sort of controlled different dinosaurs.

I got stuck on some geyser puzzle.

That was... incredibly easy to find lol.

There's an NES game I've been trying to find for like 15 years, but I'm convinced it was a dream at this point. The first level started outdoors, then you walk into a factory or train station type building with gray interior and windows. I think it was cartoony and that you changed characters when you died.

There was another one that I spent 10+ years trying to find. It was a mid-90's PC adventure game (like Freddy Fish), but all I could remember was that it was a cartoon animal riding a hot air balloon. I made topic on CE about it and Googled it like a dozen times, but turned up nothing.

The way I found it, and I shit you not, was I woke up on a couch at my uncle's house after a long night of drinking, sat up, and saw the disc sitting right there on his coffee table. There was a whole stack of CDs and it was right on top. It was "Gregory and the Hot Air Balloon."

This is one of the saddest topics I've seen on a board where people have made topics about them dying from cancer.

I should play it and write a review

Hey beyblades were fun >__>
