Okay, so The Sims 2 on GBA is weirdly fun for what it is—like someone took the full Sims experience and crammed it into this tiny cartridge. You start by making your little pixel people (weirdly expressive for chibi sprites) and plopping them into a house that’s way too expensive for their starter budget. Classic Sims move.

It’s got that same "just one more day" loop where you’re balancing their needs, sending them to work, and then suddenly it’s 3 AM and your Sim is crying because they forgot to pee. The handheld version actually adds some RPG-ish quests, like helping neighbors or unlocking secret areas, which gives it a different vibe from the PC version. And yeah, the parties are chaotic in the best way—imagine four tiny sprites awkwardly dancing in a room the size of a closet.

Surprisingly deep for a GBA game, and the pixel art has this nostalgic charm. You’ll either love it or wonder why your Sim keeps setting the kitchen on fire.
