just got dotstream and dialhex

After umming and ahhing for weeks and refusing to pay ebay prices. I finally received these two gems today from playasia (under £8 each). After about 3 hours play I've ordered another four. These games and the series as a whole were just made for the GBA micro. In my opinion it's probably the best match between game and format since tetris on the original Game Boy.
Play wise, neither takes any time to get into. In dotstream you might need a couple of races to realise the difference between what is part of the track and what's not (no the flashing blocks are not pick ups). As for dialhex once you work out how to move your triangles around its almost plain sailing.
That's just the games, everything from the music (which incidentally made me find this site in the first place) to the packaging which the games come in punches way above its weight.
Hopefully the rest of my bit generations (namely coloris, soundvoyager, orbital and digidrive) should be with me in about a week. So, until then thanks for reading if you did, and sorry if you all already own these quite wonderful little games and are wondering what took me so long to pick them up in the first place.
