New VBoy game in 2012!

Contacted revival. Don’t care what the game is, I need to be first or close to first in line for a pre-order.

Hi There,

As the author of the game in question, let me start of by saying this is still early in development, with a planned released end of 2012.

Meanwhile, let me give you a short description of the game. This is all info i will give at this point in development.

EFX will be a Z-axis scifi shoot’em up game, with a total of 8 levels and a bonus level. The game is created with 3D in mind, so it should fit the virtualboy perfectly. A few months ago, I posted a single image on the news section of my website (www.revival-studios.com), which can be viewed using red/blue goggles. Yes, the image is supposed to be a bit vague as i dont want to spoil too much of the game at this point in development. I am sure i will post a few more images over the year as the game prograesses.

Also, i am still sorting out the cart-production side of things. So if anyone has suggestion or is able to help out here, please email/PM me.

Kind Regards,

Martijn / Revival Studios

Seeing as you mention it, I hope to show you guys something special in about 6 weeks 🙂

If you’re planning a large run of games, using donors is no good.

You’ll need a solution using the connector e5frog used in his home made EPROM cart.

There are people with crates of brand new Virtual League Baseball, I recommend start looking here:

i don’t see any info on the site. i’ve tweeted to him. someone could possibly email him as well. i also hope it wasn’t cancelled.

I talked to him a few weeks ago. Not sure what I can say…but the project is still on. He’s finishing up a few others before he gets into it.

Very very cool! :thumpup: 😀

Edit to add — seems to be a bit of a “garage industry”. Still, a successful release of new VB games would be excellent. Wonder if he has access to a 3D Printer — should be easy to add provision for an existing connector.

I don’t see anything “Virtual Boy” his site. Can’t believe he has a couple “Meggy Jr” games — I have one, haven’t built it yet. Bought it figuring I could make a 4×4 color LED cube…

as a community. we really need to find a solution for donors. printed cases and such can take us pretty far, but what about connectors? if homebrew ever takes off and if reproduction carts get higher in demand, we are going to kill off a great chuck of usable carts.

I think we will run out. I don’t think there’s many more boxes out there. The one’s that are left, are being sold at very high prices (on Ebay etc).

I thought there was a connector found that works? How hard (or fast!) is it to make “printed cases”? I’d think new cases and new connectors would be workable…
