Okay, so Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow on the GBA—yeah, it’s actually impressive they crammed Sam Fisher’s sneaky antics into this tiny cartridge. You’re creeping through shadows, taking out guards with silenced pistol shots, and yeah, the lighting effects are shockingly decent for a handheld this old. The top-down view takes some getting used to if you’re coming from the console versions, but once you adjust, it’s weirdly satisfying to pull off a perfect stealth run.

Don’t expect the full console experience, obviously—missions are shorter, and some mechanics are simplified—but it nails the tension of hiding just outside a guard’s cone of vision. And that little *click* sound when you snap a neck? Still unnerving. If you’re into retro stealth or just curious how they pulled this off on a GBA, it’s a solid time capsule.
