Yes Sirs and Madams, you read the title correctly.
I am offering a free complete JPN copy of Jack Bros. I have donated a lot to PVB, and also tried to help out folks here when I can.
You need to meet 2 requirements:
1. Gain the “10+ ratings” batch by rating at least 10 commercial or homebrew games or demos.
2. As well, I would like you to make a new contribution to this site. Could be a review, could be a new top high-score, could be a new scan the site doesn’t have, could be a monetary donation, …or could just be a notable VB related picture of, say, your cat playing VB. Your contribution is your choice 🙂
I will pick the judges.
The contest will last until we reach at least 10 participants. All members new and old will be welcome.
The prize includes 1 complete boxed copy of Jack Bros, with free USPS Priority shipping and delivery confirmation within the USA. “Snail-mail” First class postage will be offered for international members.
A runner up prize will be a loose copy of Nester’s Funky Bowling.
So… get to it! Rock on guys n’ gals!
EDIT: Rules updated (1st requirement changed)
EDIT: Rules updated (deadline)
Seems like this will force through some ratings on a bunch of games that haven’t been properly tested, there’s only 22 titles, I guess running them in emulation will give some idea though.
Luckily I already have a one complete JPN Jack Bros but good luck to you other people.
However, as I have been trying out a few new games the last days I can at least add a few ratings. 😉
Nice initiative anyway even if it’s a little odd competition rules.
EDIT: Aha, included are also the homebrews and demos…

I wouldn’t mind participating as a judge and therefor of course withdraw from being able to win anything. I have enough VB stuff now 🙂Honkey, I sent you a mail earlier today. If they haven’t arrived by tuesday next week I will go to the post office and let them pay for it. Fortunately I have a spare set of soldered screens laying here, so I will send them in when (if it is needed of course) I get compensated by the post office.
Oh wow!!! Thank you so much!!! 😀 😀 😀 But here is to hoping they end up arriving safe and sound soon.
Here is what I was planning on submitting for my entry for the contribution portion before the rule change. Its a Red Alarm / VB inspired skin for the Lamborghini Reventón in Forza 3. I know its not much of a contribution. I love the wire frame look in Red Alarm and the Reventón’s super angular design made me wonder what it would look like rendered on a VB. So I set to work and many hours and 483 decals later I have this. 😎 I’m not sure or not if I’m going to keep the big Nintendo logo or not. To me it kind of looks a little out of place with the rest of the car, so I may either shrink it down and stick it someone where not as noticeable or delete it all together.
I was thinking I would make it like an exclusive thing for members on this site. If you have Forza 3, want this skin and have a Reventón in the game just let me know and I’ll stick the serial number of your VB on the nose and on the back and put it up on my storefront for you to download for free. I could also put user names on the cars but I think just having the serial number would look cooler. The pictures don’t do it justice as they for whatever reason are really washed out and blurry. The real thing is much darker black, and brighter red with very sharp clear lines. That or possibly its time for me to adjust my monitors color settings. 😛
