Play 2 in 1 - Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time & Tomb Raider - The Prophecy (E)(Independent) Online

Game Overview

This GBA cart is basically a pocket-sized time capsule of early 2000s action-adventure greatness. One minute you're the Prince, flipping off walls and rewinding time when you mistime a jump (which happens more than I'd like to admit). The next, you're Lara, carefully navigating booby-trapped ruins while solving those classic block-pushing puzzles that make you feel clever when you finally get them right.

The Prince's levels feel surprisingly fluid for a GBA port—you can still pull off those slick acrobatic combos, though the controls take some getting used to. Lara's sections are slower but more methodical, with that satisfying "aha!" moment when you spot a hidden switch. Both games look great for the hardware, with just enough detail to make the environments feel alive.

Honestly, it's wild having two completely different vibes in one cartridge. You can switch from high-speed platforming to slow-burn exploration whenever you hit a wall (sometimes literally). The battery save works for both games too, which is clutch for portable sessions. If you grew up with either series, this is a solid way to revisit them on the go.
