GAME BOY DOOM
A friend told me that he found out that a port of Doom 2 had been made for Game Boy Advance. Unfortunately, I didn't have a Game Boy Advance and it turned out the game was really rare. The next day, the third place I called had the game.
Anyway, I now have a Game Boy Advance and both Doom and Doom 2 for it. Doom 2 is nearly identical to it's PC version, with all 32 levels, all enemies, all weapons, all everything. Doom, however, (after being spoiled by the perfect port of Doom 2,) kind of disappointed me. Some levels are entirely replaced (for example, the first two levels of episode 3).
Each game has four difficulty levels, a map that works just the way it does in the PC version, separate strafe buttons (that means you don't hold a button to change the turning buttons into strafe buttons), four save slots, a co-op or deathmatch multiplayer mode with eight specifically deathmatch levels (with two to four game boys and a link cable), and codes.
I thought the games and system were a really great buy. It's really great to know that Doom is sitting in your pocket. Also, the system is really efficient with batteries.
Screenshot sizes have been quadrupled.
Warning: DO NOT buy either Doom or Doom 2 for GBA on online retail sites like Amazon.com. Last time I checked, they were incredibly expensive. On Ebay, the games are about $25. If you're lucky, you'll find the games at video game stores.
