Beyond the tech demos There are dozens published 3D games. The most impressive is the GBA port of Driv3r. More or less stripped down Grand Theft Auto 3 style sandbox game, squashed down onto the GBA. Driv3r Video: link History/showcase of various 3d GBA games: ▶ this video
For a good overview of the progress of 3d GBA graphics over the console's lifespan I'd reccomended this video history: ▶ this video
> as far as i know, beyond anything on the gba ever There were actually a few commercial 3d rendered GBA games! They weren't very common, but perhaps the most graphically impressive was Asterix & Obelix XXL, a 3D platformer: link Some others are showcased here: ▶ this video
