Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear on GBA is one of those weirdly ambitious ports where they somehow crammed a tactical shooter onto a tiny screen. You get the same tense, methodical gameplay as the PC version—just with chunky sprites and a top-down view that makes everything feel like a high-stakes board game.

Planning your squad’s route before breaching a room still matters, but the controls take some getting used to (good luck not fumbling the grenade button). Missions play out fast—you’ll be clearing terrorist hideouts and rescuing hostages in tight corridors where one wrong move gets your whole team wiped. It’s janky in that classic GBA way, but there’s something satisfying about pulling off a perfect operation with just a D-pad and two face buttons.

Don’t expect fancy graphics, but if you ever wanted to sneak through a pixelated embassy takeover during your commute, this’ll do the trick.
