Nice video! Looks like you got a good collection going there, and with doubles of games I wish I had (Insmouse no yakata). I like the humor in the video too =P
I’m slowly making a VB video, might take a little while to finish at this rate though..
I saw that in the manual shortly after I got my VB. Unfortunately, I’ve always been short one dust cover, so I’ve never really got to use it! I remember trying it out though, works good!

You don’t really need the end pieces very much… you can (and should) use the walls to complete your intestines as well.
Oh, and only kinda related to this thread (since we’re talking about bowling)… I bowled a 279 tonight (IRL). 11 strikes with a 9-spare in the 4th (Grr… so close).
DogP
Ahhh! Thanks for that, that makes it easier!
Congrats on the game, as for me I haven’t gotten close to that yet. Sounds like you just need a lucky night and you could do it! It’s been too long since I’ve bowled…I should start doing it again.
Played Nester’s bowling some more. Love those animation clips =P Really gives the game character.

and definitely played Virtual Lab more (and though the game is horrible technically, I think Virtual Lab is actually fun).

I played Virtual Lab for the first time last night, and now I see what you mean! Sooo basic. Also hilarious how the chick’s boobs stick out and bounce slightly..must have been what they spent the most time on =P
But I’d have to say I’d rather play 3D tetris..mainly because I’m not quite sure how to create full “intestines” (what I’m gonna call them). The end pieces don’t seem show up enough =P Need more practice I guess.
Is it just between those two games or does Faceball and Bound High count?
Out of those two, it’s a tough choice, 3D Tetris has the time sucking ability Nester’s bowling doesn’t have…but I find Nesters bowling more fun to pick up and play. Because of the fun factor, I’m gonna give this one to Nester’s Bowling. But I must say, I have no problem sinking in way more time into 3D Tetris..it’s almost like perpetual Lego building =P

Well, it is a remastered version of the prototype. No one knows what the original developers were aiming for. I think I never said it is “completed” prototype. The back of the Box says that it is “finalized Rom-Hack of the prototype”. I meant to say that the Rom-Hack is complete, not that I rebuild the game as it was supposed to be. I wrote that mainly so that everyone who buys it from ebay instantly knows it is a ROM hack and not an official game.
About the differences to the prototype: It has 56 all new levels that are challenging enough to keep you busy for some time. They can be beaten though. The prototype only has 14 very easy levels. You can play though the prototype in under an hour. I reactivated allot of stuff that was hidden in the rom (Music, enemy, enemy behavior, menu images). It also has some other minor changes like a different a start screen, tweaked controls and altered credits. I often forget to mention that I also fixed the score. It will sum up so that you can so your final score at the end instead of having only the score per stage.
Sorry, my wording could have been better there, was trying to keep it brief. I didn’t mean to make it sound like it was the prototype, but finished. Just that it was a finished “variant” of the same game.
does the new 3d printed case click together or is it glued?
It looks like it clicks together, I don’t see any glue and I can kind of pry the middle of the side of the cart apart a little bit. Not enough to see inside, but I didn’t try too hard. No way am I going to tempt breaking this thing!

Hello
I have a question. What’s the difference between the Faceball Proto and Faceball remastered edition? Thank you
One is the original Faceball prototype that was found with 1 set of levels and not all the music available, the remastered one is a more finished version including the full 4 sets of levels and all the games original music

My personal favorite is Overclocked Remix http://ocremix.org/
it’s video game music done right and best of all it’s free!
Good link, there’s some cool stuff in there!
Also- does anyone listen to “real” music while playing video games? Listening to something fast and heavy during racing games has always been one of my favorite pastimes. VB-wise, I’ve had some epic sessions of completely zoning out for hours while combining Galactic Pinball with some more complex music in the background.
I always used to make a big playlist and play Test Drive Unlimited for hours, just driving around Hawaii in different cars (dash view, of course!) For older games though, something about most of the old games just had some classic tunes, or just the way they sound, just brings me back. I find I don’t even enjoy a lot of them as much without the original sound playing.
As for real music..it’s allll over the place. From orchestrated stuff to heavy metal, to lighter rock, to rap. Look up the Bit Trip music though, I friggin love the music that’s in those games.

I’ve been wowing all week on a new VB game.
Such a tease!
I’ll list just one. Warioland..Some wonderful 3D effects in this game. The one thing that always gets me is the broken block pieces react to the environment when they fall…I haven’t seen this in any other Mario/Wario platformer, even in games for more powerful hardware. Another VB exclusive =P
