Has everyone else already seen this or have I stumbled upon something special here?
😮

My apologie if this has been posted before, I did a bit of searching just to be sure but couldn’t find anything.

If I had to choose, I’d stay with vector graphic games in the vboy. Sure, they’re much worse than sprite-based games, but the 3D effect/depth is much better IMO.

i like the 2d games, kind of for the same reason you like the vector games. the 3d effect is wasted on me, since i’m primarily blind in one eye, so those games don’t really offer much. im a real die-hard, huh? i cant even see in 3d and i love this system.

You actually don’t have depth perception due to a blind eye, and still love the VB?

May I ask what the big draw of the system is in your case if you can’t even realize its biggest feature? Maybe it’s that you get a sense of immersion from peering into the visor, forgetting about the outside world and just getting immersed into the game…

there is a sense of immersion, though the real fun comes form the uniqueness of the system and games.

Hey guys, how about a Bound High video with sound? Now I’m pretty sure that’s a first since it was posted about 3 days back:

My conversation with the owner of this copy of Bound High was very interesting to say the least, however, I would like to respect his request to keep the conversation private.

I can’t believe I didn’t notice that earlier! We could always use more sound from all these unreleased games; screenshots tell a good deal about what it looks like, but show us nothing about how it all sounds.

(If only whoever owned a prototype of you-know-what would post a video like this on YouTube…)

Also, the video is quite flickery; it could be the camera making it more exaggerated, but that flicker is probably why people get headaches from playing the VB too long.

Unfortunately, if what I heard about the owner is true then it’s unlikely we’ll see anything at all unless the game changes owners. And apparently, even that isn’t likely to happen sooo….. 🙁

I think it also has a bit to do with the frame rate the camera is recording at. I know for sure when I played that VB that it doesn’t appear that flickery to me; it actually looks seamless to my eyes.

LOL, That audio sounds like crap… it sounds REALLY flat and WAY too slow! Turn the volume up on the promo: http://www.vr32.de/modules/games/index.php?type=unreleased&id=1&sec=multimedia&video=29 and ignore the guy’s voice (or filter it out, but that takes effort 😉 ).

I’m guessing the other video was taken from an emulator rather than real hardware? That would explain the better video quality and lack of sound.

It looks like Bound High would have been a lot of fun… I wish I could play it!

That was pretty cool! Still wish I had Zero Racers though 😛
