well those are pc games that were released in 2000 where the gba is a "next gen" handheld console (in relation to the previously allowed gen standard) that was released in 2001.

I don't see any enemy bases, so while they have the advantage in terms of funds and starting units you're allowed to produce new units while they're not. All you have to do is play smart and on the defensive while you save up enough funds to actually compete with their army. Might take a while but shouldn't be that hard.

I think that theoretically a game shoud be beatable without taking damage even once. But I could swear that there are times where you simply can't avoid it. When your character moves slowly and the controls are clunky yet the enemies move fast across the entire screen.

Dude what the fuck is your problem? It's a handheld that's basically a SNES. Are you that much a sperglord that you can't allow one thread to talk about a game/system that's already two generations old. Is it really so fucking awful to wanna talk about some vidya on a board that isn't constantly shitted up like /v/? At least we're actually talking about video games.

And where the fuck do you get Nintendo kids? There's tons of great GBA games that aren't even made by Nintendo. Why don't you stop being a bitter little faggot and fuck off to some Atari thread.

its pointless to argue about it because the rules are very clear

The difference is Diablo 2 was launched on a platform that came out prior to 1999 and is allowed. GBA came out in 2001, it is clearly against the rules. Only a retard could not understand this.

Think about what you just wrote.
Now look at your post.

GBA isn't retro, is it that difficult for you to just move on and talk about stuff relevant to the board?
I don't even know why people argue about the rules all the time, it's just retarded.
And that you come to this board, shitting it up with redundant discussions and flamewars, because "it's not constantly shitted up" is just hilarious. Get some perspective, go outside, then talk about GBA or whatever video games on /v/, and retro stuff here. It's really not hard.
Have a nice day.

>> No.1272554

Because there is no talking about GBA on /v/ you mother fuckers.
