    Konami Racers was always one of my favourite GBA games.

    The first GBA Castlevania (Circle of the Moon) was also a bit overlooked as it was released early in the life of the GBA and was very dark, making it difficult to play in the pre GBA SP days. Solid game though if a little plain to look at compared to Aria/Harmony.

    Also Sabre Wulf was class and very overlooked.

    Only remembered as I picked it up today along with Jazz Jackrabbit for £1.99 each. gotta love a sweaty Money Traders shop sometimes!

    All the GBa game and watch releases. Absurd amount of fun and brilliant evolution of simple LCD games to modern masterpieces.

    Anyone who wants to do game design should study how they turned limited movement LCD games into modern remakes.

    Not sure if it really counts as a hidden gem, but I really dug F1 Race, it's as good of a racing game as you'll get for the original Game Boy.

    If you mean original F1 Race that came with 4 player adapter - i still have it but that's OT here - even if it can be played solo on GBA, it's still not a GBA game.

    P.S. adding Drill Dozer to the list.
