We already published the list of best GBA games of all time, now it’s time to discover the best GBA simulation games of all time.
With amazing titles available, the GBA definitely has a great library of simulation games.
So, if you’re a fan of both the GBA and simulation games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.
And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#5. The Tower SP
- Release Data: Vivarium/Nintendo, 2006
- Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Virtual Life
Diehard fans of the sim genre will probably want to take a pass on The Tower SP, since it doesn’t provide much in the way of retention power.
If you’re a casual sim fan, however, and intend to play the game primarily in short bursts, you may still want to give it a try.
#4. F-14 Tomcat
- Release Data: Virtucraft/Majesco, 2001
- Genre: Simulation » Flight » Combat
What’s here is cool, if a bit vanilla. Controls are tight, graphics are clean, the missions are challenging, and the link cable mode works like a champ.
But this game is only good in single shots due to the fact that the missions don’t offer any variety.
#3. The Urbz: Sims in the City
- Release Data: Griptonite Games/EA Games, 2004
- Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Virtual Life
The Urbz is ultimately an unusual game for a variety of reasons.
This game is a fairly unique and interesting little role-playing game in its own right, which should appeal to fans of similarly themed games like The Sims, Animal Crossing, or Harvest Moon.
#2. The Sims Bustin’ Out
- Release Data: Griptonite Games/EA Games, 2003
- Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Virtual Life
The GBA version of The Sims: Bustin’ Out isn’t quite as extravagant as the upcoming console games because of the standard limitations of the GBA platform.
But as comparatively limited as the GBA version is, it’s still a well-designed, casual game, and it definitely fits the bill for an on-the-go version of one of the most popular game franchises around.
#1. Karnaaj Rally
- Release Data: Paragon 5/Jaleco Entertainment, 2003
- Genre: Simulation » Vehicle » Combat
In most respects, Karnaaj Rally is a great game.
The ability to drive through the jungle, upgrade your car, and launch rockets at your opponents is a spectacular recipe for fun.
If fun is more important to your definition of replay value than features, you should definitely give Karnaaj Rally a try.
