roots.genoa Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 They don't ever care to tell me when they're releasing a new book... And yet the that publisher wanted me to work for him not that long ago. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Red-blue 3D glasses for Virtual Boy screenshots, huh? Who’s gonna tell them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Pfft... I've got the Jeremy Parish made Virtual Boy Works, you really don't need more than that. He's a bloodhound when it comes to history, research, and development of an incredible story loaded with facts and well laid fun to keep you reading (or YT, watching) more. His book had those glasses too. I also have a very amazing shape Nintendo Power 75 with everything included, along with that sleeve and glasses it had too to show off the depth of VB games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricmastro Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Probably not peoples' preferred way to pay these games, but I think the Rayman games are both well-done in both the graphical and control department to be worth mentioning: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Got this beautiful, personalized release of Black Castle from Germany’s Community Releases team. Cool glow in the dark shell: Unfortunately it does not play in my GBA SP but it looks great in my OG AGB: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roots.genoa Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 btw I recently got Metal Slug Advance (cartmod) and Remute's album Unity on GBA as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you think about Unity? I like the music, but it sounds like it’s mostly playing samples. I guess samples are what characterizes GBA games, but still… Also, I was mostly listening without watching, but is there no video component to this one? Usually there’s at least some kind of visually impressive something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually there’s at least some kind of visually impressive something. I didn't have the time to listen to it entirely, but I agree. I need to use earphones though because it wasn't very loud. There's a video for the title track at the end but that's it, and I agree the player could use more animation. Also I recently got Phantom 2040 for the Genesis (in box but no manual) but I haven't seen the dedicated topic pop up for a while... 😅 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fortunately common on the Game Boy and the GBA for titles like Ninja Cop, Astro Boy, Metal Gear Solid... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I don't blame you one bit. I'm glad I still have MGS(gbc) and Astro Boy(gba) but Ninja Five0(Cop) and MSA I annoyingly let go of years ago, kind of sort of had to situation and i wouldn't pay those garbage prices now either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Since this is the Gameboy thread, and well maybe someone here has a bloody clue you can help whoever you are? Two days ago I scored this on the way to getting kiddo from school at half price, the store exclusive ice blue gbpocket for a very fair price as it's in great shape, but then there was the bane of my sim existence, harvest moon, and the GB original (direct snes sequel) no less, grabbed it for normal value basically. I still can't seem to figure this mess out, not sure why. Anyone here good with the series, early series basics? I can't seem to figure out how to not ruin myself within a month or two. Can't seem to grow a thing, harvest properly, and I know there are the usual hidden goals and stuff to utterly really 'win' which is not just basic survival. I found a PDF of the manual, not helpful, or I wouldn't ask, and the gamefaqs are wonky/confusing not really saying what other than some goals, but no steps HOW to get said goals. I don't want to return the game in the window, rather get over this and enjoy the stupid thing as it looks like it would be solid slow fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electricmastro Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Found out that Pac-Man on Game Boy has a hidden mode where the screen isn't zoomed in, which is usually is otherwise. Rather weird the full-screen wasn't set at default. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Well I haven't picked up Gameboy stuff in awhile, yet you saw my last post. And then I happened across being able to pay a little over half the going rate on a perfect looking copy of Dragon Warrior Monsters online, then yesterday traded in some stuff for cash at a collectibles shop and walked out with a bit of money, and a spotless copy of Pokemon Puzzle Challenge so 2 re-acquired solid GBC games in a week. Such great titles, and the puzzle has a hidden version of panel de pon and the main game saves anytime making so easier to continue playing whenever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electricmastro Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I recommend Tang Tang for anyone who's interested in puzzle platformers, particularly Solomon's Key. Could use some more polish in making some sprites less static, but I think the fun and charm still shine through. 741859110_TangTang.mov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raskar42 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I recently played through Bionic Commando on the game boy. One of my favorite games. I think it's the best version of bionic commando anywhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just a jump and run platformer in the finest Mario tradition. It’s kind of like early Mario with the ratchet scrolling and the fact that you have to commit to one of several paths and make exacting jumps to get powerups, but since your attacks are projectiles there is a sort of Batman aspect to it too. The rom is free or nearly so so it’s easy to try it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I don't like it when people talk about GBC and GBA games on the Game Boy thread. Why can't we just keep it strictly original GB? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
