The camping story is way too cute! I can confirm retro gaming is a total blast with youngsters in the family. I love being the cool uncle with the hidden gem videogames! tysm your videos are super cozy and heartwarming, ty for sharing your passion.

I like Dweebs approach much more than others. He not only reviews the devices (like MOST of the others), but he does stuff like this, and focuses on the actual game content. Much kudos to the Dweeb,

I will invest in your idea, develop it and bring it to the market, If this comment reaches 100 likes.

These are my favorite videos. The best games on each retro system. I just got my miyoo mini plus from you link w onion os already on the SD. Thank you for that. Subbed.

[isabelleruth]

i bought a miyoo mini plus as my first handheld bc of one of your videos, and the first game i played was ham ham heartbreak. i was so curious as to why people weren’t talking about it. i absolutely love it so much and i am so glad you featured it here considering your videos are what brought me to retro gaming

[ijlondon]

oh wow the lilo and stitch footage blasted me back in time! I forgot that game existed despite pouring so much time into it as a kid. Thank you for reintroducing us ❤ time to fire up my retroid!

[freddychopin]

You've got to be kidding me, Dweeb. Literally at the exact moment you uploaded this video I was going through best-of-GBA lists. Get out of my brain!

P.S.: Much love 💙

As a word game buff, Bookworm is a go-to of mine. I used to play it on my phone back in the day. I had looked it up last year, and I was saddened to find out that Pop Cap took it off of the Google Play store. However, I came across the GBA cartridge, and sure enough, I was happy. It didn’t have all of the animations of the PC or smartphone versions, or the worm’s voice, but it had everything else that I loved about Bookworm.

Great list of Hidden Gems! Little nostalgic story for the Hamtaro Ham Ham Heartbreak GBA: Back when I was like maybe 9 or something my cousins visited us for summer break and spent some weeks at our home. One of them had the Hamtaro GBA game. I initially wasn't that interested, because I was a stereotypical boy and mostly played fighting games like Street Fighter or Final Fight One. After the weeks had passed my cousins had to go back home. One day later, we received a call, it was my cousing asking us if she had forgotten her Hamtaro game at our place. Luckily, the game was with us and not lost. I remember vividly that summer break, my older sister was always hogging the GBA (we only had one) and was playing the Hamtaro game. At first, I was really annoyed, but later on she showed me the game and she was basically let's playing the game in front of me. When I had to go back to school again, the other kids were of course talking about their crazy vacations they made, but to me the Hamataro experience was one of my dearest summer break memories.

I love the Hamtaro games! And I also found myself playing that Bookworm one way longer than I thought I would. Awesome list. ❤

Thanks GBA is one of my fave systems. Always looking for new games.

You need to watch Lilo and Stitch ASAP

[jrdoughty]

I'm stupid excited to hear there was a good Lilo and Stitch game. Stitch is my spirit animal

[KevinAdams]

You 100% need to watch Lilo and stitch. It is a great story, playful, emotional, and charming.

[beowolf]

GBA was an epic system. I remember I had gba sp that looked like NES. It is lost to time now who knows where it is. Thanks for the list definitely going to check some of them out.

Thanks for the video Tech Dweeb, your best of videos always have a really good selection! It was cool to see that Lilo and Stitch game. IMO Lilo & Stitch was *horrendously* underutilised when it comes to video games; Stitch looks like a platformer mascot, and the first movie gave him a brilliant 'moveset' to use, then the TV series gave him *even more* abilities, and don't get me started on the countless puzzles and gameplay styles the other experiments (Stitch's relatives) could be used for! And to top it off, Hawaii (the series' location, hence the pineapples) makes for a really nice setting to put it all in

[TeapotDaddy]

Thanks for the list! Recently got a Flipzizzle myself and I am excited to try these games out ^^

[christate]

I was waiting for this video 🔥 we definitely need more GBA videos

That's a great story about the hamster game. That is exactly how these retro gaming should go (i think), rather than just member-berries, but showing kids what it was like in the flintstones age.
