Golden Sun a Grand Adventure

Golden Sun is by far the best RPG Adventure Released on the Gameboy Advance
Console. I recently wanted to get back into the series; so I bought some high quality reproduction carts of Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age.
From a really good seller on eBay from Western Massachusetts in the United States.
And these are some extremely high-quality Nintendo Reproductions, too. (Not Cheap Chinese Bootlegs) It literally looks and feels like a Genuine GBA cartridge on the outside.

High-Quality Reproduction GBA Circuit Board

The Games are very Excellent Quality, and will actually Play and Save just like a Genuine GBA game cartridge. It was well worth the $19 usd that I paid for the Lot (Both Games). I have also noticed, that the Game freezes for a Second after saving; but returns to normal. I just attribute this to the game saving to the Flash Memory on the Reproduction Circuit board.
As, this delay doesn't happen on a Emulator. (Tested on MyBoy! for Android) Even so, the delay after saving the reproduction game doesn't affect the Gameplay at all.

Golden Sun; Continue Saved Game


The Adventure starts with Golden Sun, then you can Transfer the Data to Golden Sun: The Lost Age (Via either Password or Link Cable) to tackle the final two Elemental Lighthouses, lighting the Beacons of all four Lighthouses will trigger the Golden Sun event, saving the World of Weyard by restoring the power of Alchemy to the Planet. There is also an third game for the Nintendo DS, released in 2010. which takes place 30 years after the Golden Sun event at the end of Golden Sun: The Lost Age.  This is one Adventure that's actually Worth playing. And playing every game in the Series, I mean.These Games deserve a place in any GBA game collection.
