> 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: link to this video

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: link to this video
