Game Cube Games

Now that it looks like some of us have secured a certain delivery of a bargain GC Pak, being a Mser, I am thinking of where I could purchase good games for the console. The kids and myself (perhaps taking into consideration my psychological age) are between 3 and 9

If you haven't had a GC before, I would say it's definitely worth trawling the high street for games shops which sell pre-owned games. We have never had a problem with anything bought this way, and the games for younger children in particular can be excellent vfm. Plus if you have anything you've finished with you can trade it in.

Savvy_Sue, thanks for the advice. Is there any game you will particularly recommend.

Sorry, no recommendations as a) my kids are older and b) it's all just annyoying noise and images to me! I'm sure you'll enjoy it more than I do.

i have one of these

games for kids

luigis mansion - crap for adults, you will complete it in 1 day but fun for kids i guess

games you must have are

zelda ( fantasic game and comes with the nintendo 64 version aswell so 2 games)
super mario world awesome game and still looks the business
super monkey ball 1 or 2, not really for kids as is very frustrating but still great game.
pikkimon again mainly for the older kids to adults a game rather like lemmings.
mario kart, awesome multiplayer action


if you check out www.gamespot.com they review all games and although just their view it gives an idea of the games.

also as said earlier buy second hand i dont know if there has been a new game out except pokeman for ages.

when i got mine 2nd hand with 4 games for £60 2 years ago i found co-op.com had the wrong price on all the games, i was buying £40 games for £15 it was great , alass 1 year later they discovered this and stopped selling game cube games.

Thanks to you all.  So far I have bought 3 games (2nd Hand) which were £10 each.  Super Monkey Ball, Luigi's Mansion and Sonic Heroes.  I have not bought any of the other recommendations yet because I have set a budget limit of £10 per game.  I cannot believe that already I have spent more money on games than on the hardware itself.   ::) So long as the kids enjoy it I suppose I should not complain.

Try this web site for cheap games as recommended by Ben 500 in a previous thread.

small ads are a good way to go.

market usually beats somewhere like Gamestation.

look for places that offer realistic trade in prices.

check on highstreet 2nd hand...check on market...check online...check carboot and voila...buy wherever the title is cheapest. And dont forget a little ebaying.
