4-Player Gamecube-GBA Games

I remember there being a lot of titles for Gamecube that allowed you to hook up several GBAs with link cable for 4-player gaming, such as Pacman Vs, Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, or Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles.

Personally I don't own any of these, but I have always really wanted to try them, specifically Pacman Vs. As much as I do have a lot of geeky friends, I could just never get four people with GBAs and link cables together. I do have my own a GBA with a link cable, and PAX East sounds like the perfect place to find such a group.

If you have a 'cube with some of these games and would like to get together, either in a hotel (or in a freeplay area if there's any way to get a TV in there? I've never been to a PAX), then I'd love to meet up! I'm sure there are others who've always wanted to play these too but never have since it's so much work to get all the necessary hardware assembled.

    Pacman Vs. actually only requires a single gba and link cable. Only the person playing as pacman is on the gba, whilst the other three ghosts play using gamecube controllers. That might make your quest a little easier.

    Hell if I'd known that I would have bought it years ago! Thanks for the info, boy do I feel like an idiot. I'm still up for the other games as long as I am correct that each player needs a GBA.
