Breakout had tennis players in the artwork, but Super Breakout is in space? 🤷

Sounds like the artist was going for depicting the color bars as a forcefield to give them physicality, and also liked the visual of them being reflected in the astronaut’s helmet.

Yes, it happened within an hour of them landing on NSO 👍

Virtual Boy was cartridge based, these flash carts are cool because they have e-ink displays in them so that you can load custom label images to see what game you have flashed.

This is what an original cart looks like

I’m not sure what you’re asking, but yes - these are Virtual Boy games (loaded on a couple of flash carts)

You should look up this book!

Warlords!

Something I forgot to mention, you can “fix” the speed in the Super Game Boy FPGA core by going into the core’s settings.

The main Analogue Pocket FPGA core(s) for playing Game Boy cartridges doesn’t recognize these Wisdom Tree carts as legit carts, as far as the system behaves - there’s nothing in the slot.

There is an openFPGA core for the Super Game Boy, though, that will read original Game Boy games from the cart slot, and I’ve found that I can play Wisdom Tree carts if I use that openFPGA core.

But also… Yes - the AP can be a FPGA SNES that can read roms from the sdcard, and is also a lot of other systems by using openFPGA cores. Combined with the dock and some wireless controllers, it’s a less powerful mister system - but a portable one!

I had the King James Bible and Joshua carts as a kid (and still do), but I never realized just how many games Wisdom Tree released on the Game Boy!

It sure is 👍

It’s a fantastic device!

It’s a turn based strategy game, I expect it to be slow. 🤷

Obviously I just received it today, so I’m not very far in it yet. No idea if the story or gameplay will be for me, but I’m excited to find out! I’ve seen a lot of praise for it over the years so it’s very satisfying to finally have the cart in my hands.

I will say so far, that I don’t appreciate having instructional pop-ups with every action I take for each turn - only needed those the first time. I also like (and also wonder if I’ll grow to dislike) the fact that I’m not controlling every single character on my team.

I’ll add those to the list, thanks!

I never owned one! Wasn’t even aware of it as a kid, all I knew was Game Boy and Game Gear back then.

I still don’t have the original hardware, though these carts are making me consider tracking an original system down. I’m using an Analogue Pocket system to play these at the moment.

Very nice!

I appreciate that, it is my new thing!

But too many online reply “Pfffft! That’s not new, it’s been around for a year!”, so some of us try to head them off.

I can now confirm that it’s great hitting the seagull with a hackey sack on the Lynx version too!

I still don’t have that one! Adds it to the list

There really isn’t much dialog to Innsmouth, but all the JPN exclusives that can benefit from translations have been translated. (Though all the JPN roms on this multicart are unpatched original roms).

OEM retail carts do not look like this multicart!
