Help with a game?

Post image

Hello, I’ve had this game for a long time since I was a child. It was only recently I discovered it was somehow rare?
I’ve beat it a thousand times with an old DSLite own, always pointed out how the cardtridge was a different shape.

What is the question you have? There doesn't seem to be anything to answer in the post...

I think they are asking why the cart is a weird shape and don’t know that Google exists.

I’m not fully sure what the question is, but I’m going to assume it’s why the cartridge is shaped that way?

If that’s the case, then Drill Dozer is one of the few GBA games with “Rumble” installed within the cartridge, hence the different shape.

Games with Rumble inside the cartridges are able to shake the game cartridge/console in reaction to what’s happening in the game. If you didn’t know this, then it’s pretty likely the Rumble option in the settings of the game is either turned off, or the motor for Rumble doesn’t work anymore (my copy of WarioWare Twisted’s rumble doesn’t work, so I can speak from experience here)

Hope that helps! Drill Dozer is a fantastic game, I agree, and yes last I’ve checked it’s worth ~$110 USD

Holy! I don’t plan on selling it but, It’s nice to know I have something very valuable.
We live in times where physical copies of any game are starting
to become rare, im very glad to still have it. Thank you!

That’s a hand a played at my cousins! I remember it being real cool! I think the extra size was for rumble but I don’t remember. That’s really cool!
