When u sit, and start playing gba game, and you stuck in one place, do you sweat to find the exit, or do you simply go to the internet, and find some walkthrough for the specific game?

No, I never because it is more of a chllenge. maybe when its really realkly hard

Let me think... the only games I have NOT used a walkthrough (GBA) were...Super Robot Taisen...Fire Emblem(s)...FFTA...Knights of Lodis...Advance War(s)...Pretty much any Strategy game, because you have to be an idiot to need walkthroughs for them.Otherwise I'm fair game. Golden Sun the only walkthrough I use is the djinni "where the hell are they" ones...Oh yeah, Summon Nights 1 and 2 I didn't use a walkthrough for either.I'm actually doing better than I expected!

I love using walkthroughs because it makes sure that I don't forget anything at all. I hate going through a game knowing I missed a certain item or object.

usually I'll go through a game once without a walkthrough or cheats and beat it, then afterwards I'll use the walkthrough and try to get everything

Like alot of people, I tend to use a walkthrough when I get completly stuck at something and i'm like "Omgawrd help!", other than that, I try to finish the game without it. Gives a kinda nice feeling to play a game to the end with no help what so ever.

I'm a perfectionist, so yes, it helps me to get almost everything out of the game
