List of RPG ROMs for the GBA

The Game Boy Advance, or GBA, was released in 2001 by Nintendo. You could play GBA games on the GBA, GBA Slim and the first Nintendo DS. When the DSi came out, the GBA slot was removed. You can play GBA games on your PC using ROM files of the original GBA games, but if you don't own the corresponding game, this is illegal.

Adventure RPG Games
- The GBA had a number of games that are classified as "Adventure RPG." These include: "The Legend of Zelda," "Mario &Luigi Superstar Saga," "Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories," "Sword of Mana" and "Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance." An adventure RPG game features real-time combat.
Traditional RPG Games
- The most recognizable traditional RPG titles are: "The Final Fantasy" series, "Golden Sun," "Breath of Fire," "Phantasy Star Collection," "Lunar Legend" and "Tales of Phantasia." The traditional RPG features turn-based combat and deep storylines. The Pokemon series can be classified in this group as well.
Strategic RPG Games
- The GBA was the first handheld system to feature a large number of strategic RPG titles. These include: "Final Fantasy Tactics," "Advance Wars," "Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones" and "Tactics Ogre." These games play like complicated versions of chess where you need to think about unit placement and skills.
