Description

Advance Guardian Heroes brings the beloved Sega Saturn title Guardian Heroes to the handheld Game Boy Advance, delivering fast‑paced, side‑scrolling combat with RPG elements. Choose from over 20 characters, each with unique moves and upgrade paths, and battle through diverse arenas. The game supports both solo play and cooperative multiplayer, offering a variety of challenges and modes that keep the experience fresh for newcomers and veterans alike.

Global Gladiators is a 1992 side‑scrolling platform game where players control Mick or Mack through four distinct worlds, collecting Golden Arches to advance. Guided by Ronald McDonald, the duo uses a Super Soaker‑type gun to blast gooey projectiles at enemies while promoting an environmental message. Originally released for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and later ported to Master System, Game Gear, and Amiga, the game features vibrant fantasy settings, action‑packed levels, and a single‑player experience crafted by Virgin Games USA.
