Faceball on Virtual Boy is being released!

[lukester]

Hey everyone,

Recently, Bound High! was released on the Virtual Boy after many years. Now, Planet Virtual Boy has also obtained Faceball! The rom will be released, but only after the cart release. Read the whole thread here.

Also, apparently this is the best version of Faceball, so that's great news.

Here is a rare review of the game.

I do wonder if Dragon Hopper and Zero Racers will ever show up though...

Wow, that is awesome.  The buyer of Faceball seems like he really went out of his way to get this game, so I am definitely going to pick up a copy.

If they quality is anywhere near as good as Bound High, the box, manual, etc. will be great.

The game will be produced by Uncle Tusk again, so that is great.

I'm not sure about the game though. It's a very good game, and the best version, but not as good as Bound high. Also, because the buyer is trying to get some of his money back, the cart release will be $100 instead of $75 like Bound High.

Also, I think they said that Arena mode doesn't work.

But, the rom WILL be released for free, no matter what.

I think giving $100 to someone who is willing to go out of his way to spend five figures on a game is a fair proposition.

I especially hate these dickheads who buy games and don't release them so they can have them all to themselves.  My ranking of scum of the Earth goes something like this:

Hitler > Prototype Hoarders > Murderers

For example, I think people on this forum would gladly throw some cash towards the release of a game like Marble Madness on TG16, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

I don't follow the VB scene, but it seems like they have their shit together over there.

Hitler > Murderers > Prototype Hoarders

Fixed

In all seriousness though, I wish that Dragon Hopper and Zero Racers have been found by now. Anybody on this forum have any idea what's up?

Great job organizing the mob, guys!

But, where is PC Cocoron...

[TheClash603]

Lukester, finding the game was your part of the plan.

TheClash603 = pitchfork gatherer
Esteban = flamethrower gatherer
Lukester = PC Cocoron locator

...someone needs to more thoroughly read the memo.

Hey! don't blame me! I was busy organizing the mob! We need people to support our cause.

Yep, and there is still a very active effort to track down Dragon Hopper and Zero Racers. With that said, Faceball cost a lot (from what I've heard the cost was that of an inexpensive new car for the prototype) so even though this eventually will get released, one person spent a huge amount of money for the benefit of the community.

Edited: As price paid for the prototype is unconfirmed.

Looking forward to it!

I am going to snatch up the original rom, what ever version that will be.

There also will be a remastered version with 56 unique stages(including the original 14), but I have no idea when that will be done or if it will be the $100 or $200 version
