what are your favorite homebrews?[/quote]

I haven’t delved into the homebrew community yet. I bought Boung High!, but I don’t think that counts. I’m also not sure which is the best Virtual Boy emulator, as Red Dragon doesn’t even have sound. I’m not ready to buy a flash boy, either.

But, two that really look fun and interesting to me are Fishbone and Ballface. The mario level would be cool to play just to get an idea what the unreleased prototype level was. 🙂

Hmmm, apparently it’s until Febraury 9th. Hopefully it will show up by then. 😉

Lot of great news going on. 🙂

Let’s hope the remastered version has Arena mode. 🙂

Personally, I feel that if the regular edition is the $200 edition, I won’t be able to buy it. 14 stages, no 2 player, and no arena mode can’t justify $200, even if it comes with other extras.

Here are my ideas

Plan A: release the regular prototype as the $200, as it is the purest version, no alterations, and owning the actual prototype instead of a rom hack should be the higher priced.

Plan B: Let the buyer pick which cart he wants and which edition, $100 or $200. There are a lot of people that want both roms, so giving people a choice is a very nice option. Especially for those less financially stable to afford the donator’s edition, but still want the most complete game possible.

Just my two cents. 🙂

Oops wrong Faceball thread.

Yep, I read that.

Bunch of assholes in the comments, though. 🙁

Examples of comments from people:
{

… There’s a Virutal Boy forums?

I mean… who goes there? How can there be enough people interested in that to justify a semi active forum? O-o

I forgot how good the Virtual Boy graphics were…puke

$100 for pirated cartridges? Seriously guys?

Yeah. Just for the fun of it (and to teach them a lesson) (and because fuck the Virtual Boy) I’ve forwarded all the relevant info to Nintendo’s antipiracy folks.

People like these made me mad.

I can donate maybe $20 when it’s possible… I don’t want a cartridge though, so it can go direct to bigmak (I hope).
Can’t wait for the rom though, I will make a video review of it as soon as I can.

Yeah, could we donate a little bit on money each time, working our way up to a copy of the game, or do we have to donate a payment of $100 or $200?

Not to sound greedy, but anyway to make an arena mode? Just take existing maps in the game, and turn them in mazes for arena mode! Let the player pick any combination of 8 different smiloids that he wants to fight against. You vs the smiloids for whoever can reach 8 tags(kills) first wins!

Any idea when we’ll be able to donate?

DanB, if you’re going the DK 94 Route(awesome game, as well 🙂 ), you should definitely play this online remake.

It has strafing, and some other things. Use this game to inspire Ballface. 🙂

This is really exciting! Keep up the great work.

Now, here are my questions.

Will some of the proceeds help Eric like the other versions?

Will you create whole new stages, or use influence from other versions?

Can there be more than 56 stages?

What is this new enemy?

Any idea on cost?

Thanks for helping Eric!

Hmmm, Donator’s edition $200? That is a lot. I would rather buy the $100 version, but if I can beat it in a night, then I am not sure yet.

Any idea if Thunderstruck’s rom will be a different game, or the donator’s edition.

Good luck with the release!

It’s Sunday, and the wait begins.

He didn’t specify which Sunday.

Eric told me it was this Sunday, which is today. 🙂

Yes, I must know what the donator’s edition is. 🙂

The link is gone!?

I really hope it’s not my fault the link was down. Great project, just bad timing, considering Eric and Ben paid a lot of money. And yes, maybe it could become a sequel or something. Please bring back the link. I didn’t mean anything bad.

Oh, but for ideas to make the game Faceball AND Ballface better, here is a very interesting remake called “Faceball 3000”. Very difficult, but you have a few lives, lots of power-ups, and strafing! I highly recommend it! 🙂

DanB, good luck with the project and turning it into something really cool. Eric and Ben, good luck with the release, I’m eager for tomorrow.

-Paul 🙂

Oh, I just found this really fun remake of Faceball called “Faceball 3000”.

It seems very tricky, but it’s a fine remake, and you can even strafe!!

I’m just curious, if there’s no Arena mode in the version you have, then what does the first screenshot on this page depict?

http://www.planetvb.com/modules/games/?u005m

Clearly the HUD and font is very different from the rest of the game? Is it an earlier/later version?

Maybe once the rom is hacked, we might find some interesting stuff.

Looks like Uncle Tusk is sold out. Good thing I got my copy in time.

Yes Blinkstale, have you tried Red Alarm.

Red Alarm doesn’t have as many stages as Star Fox(easy, normal or hard mode), but I feel that it is a much superior game. The wireframe is cooler than the polygons in my opinion, and the sound and presentation are top notch.

Many people said there were no great stand out Virtual Boy games at launch. They should have played Red Alarm.

DanB, I’m very sorry about what I said. Your project looks fantastic, but like Protoman85 said, it may have been bad timing. If this came out AFTER the cart release, then I would be much more enthusiastic towards your project.

Still, keep up the great work. I didn’t mean to offend anybody.
