Excellent work, Thunderstruck!

It looks like you have the ability to eventually hack absolutely anything you want if you put your mind to it.

Soon… you’ll be hacking the Pentagon. 😉

Punch-Out is a puzzle game. Teleroboxer is a sports game.

I have to agree with Guy Perfect on this one. If Teleroboxer was at all like Punch-Out, then I would love the game and play it all the time. However, whenever I played Teleroboxer with the hope of it being like Punch-Out, the thought that kept hitting my mind was that it was about as far away from Punch-Out as you can get, especially in the control department. Teleroboxer is one of the very few Virtual Boy games that I just can’t get into at all, so I’d have to recommend Galactic Pinball, especially since it is like one of the greatest video game pinball games of all time…. (THE greatest pinball game of all time in my book 😉

I bought this lot.

Cool! So, are you planning to solder-fix each of them?

Huh — my page says $195 shipping. Still, it would be tempting to travel to Michigan to pick it up. Wonder how much a “non-rev” plane ticket would be?

Bet you’re right, but they’re all ribbon cable issues curable with a pinch of solder…

The shipping to my USA address is $36.61.

This would definitely be a great purchase for a USA resident who is confident in his soldering skills. You could easily resell each of these units for at least $40.00 each after you solder-fix them, especially if you advertise that they are solder-fixed units that should have no display problems ever afterwards. This would definitely be a great service to all of us VB fans who aren’t so confident in our soldering skills.

I’m really interested on Space Pinball box , who is in charge to make the boxes? .Many of us have the cart but we want to get the box too.Thanks!!

UncleTusker is the only one who can make these specific Space Pinball boxes at the moment. I think he is only selling them with the cartridges and instruction manuals, though, but you could ask him if he’d be willing to sell you just the box.

I got bored so I looked into the what the game writes into the BGMaps. I already saw once that the levelmenu has the numbers 1 to 5 on a BGMap. I thought that was strange because there are only 4 stages. A closer look showed that there is also an additional image for a fith stage. I attached a screenshot.

That is a gem of a find! Thanks for sharing that.

Now here is a nicely made review (in Spanish) for VB Faceball:

I’m guessing that Guy Perfect was planning to point out that both North America and Japan are rightly designated as NTSC regions, so it doesn’t make sense to distinguish the North American versions of Virtual Boy games from the Japanese versions by using “NTSC.”

• This reply was modified 13 years, 4 months ago by Benjamin Stevens.

I was also able to go through the wall near the lower left rather easily on the Red Dragon emulator, but I cannot do it at all when I play the game on the Virtual Boy itself. Thus, it seems to run better on hardware than it does on the emulator.

This looks like the start of what could be a very fun game.

Heh… and they say that the Virtual Boy is too bulky to mount on one’s head…

Oh man… the originally planned end of 2012 release for EFX for the Virtual Boy has since been passed, and I don’t see it on the release forecast as a release for 2013 here: http://www.revival-studios.com/?page=145

I sure hope that the game hasn’t been completely canceled. I was very much looking forward to it.

Very cool. My one friend was working on a Pac-Man clone for the PC, and he was planning to call it “Pac-Guy.” He must not have known that this title was already in use. I’ll have to inform him.

Tell yo wife, tell yo kids, tell everyone you know so that the project meets its goal so I can get these printed!!! 😀 😀 😀

Looks like you’ve surpassed your goal by a good bit! I’m excited to be getting mine. 🙂

I’m not particularly interested in it aside from “must have all unreleased stuff”

I’m the same way. The only reason why it would interest me is because it would be a Virtual Boy game. But then again… if there actually was a playable version somewhere, perhaps the gameplay could surprise me and could actually be fun.

Here are some more Virtual Boy-related pages from Nintendo Power Issue 79.
