Play Game Boy Advance Video : Dragon Ball GT : Volume 1 Online

Remember when watching anime on the go meant carrying around a bulky portable DVD player? Game Boy Advance Video: Dragon Ball GT - Volume 1 was basically magic back then—someone crammed actual episodes onto a tiny GBA cartridge. You'd pop it in and suddenly there's Goku turning Super Saiyan 4 on that postage-stamp-sized screen, complete with crunchy-but-charming compressed audio.

It's not a game, obviously—no button mashing your way through fights—but as a kid, I didn't care. Having two full GT episodes (The Beginning of the End and Pan Blasts Off) in your pocket felt like cheating the universe. The colors bled a little and the motion could get blocky during fast scenes, but when you're on a school trip or hiding under the covers past bedtime, it was perfect.

Nowadays it's more of a novelty—like finding an old VHS tape—but there's something weirdly charming about how hard they tried to make this work. The cartridge even had a little volume slider because Nintendo knew the GBA's tinny speaker needed all the help it could get. If you spot one at a retro shop, it's worth a smirk and maybe a trip down memory lane.
