nesmaster14 | 432 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 39,400 I think my batteries went caput shortly after stage 1. This was fun though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,929 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Strange as it is, maybe it's the poorer draw distance of the vector lines, but I find playing the game in first person cockpit style mode far more fun, easier to gun stuff down and not run into walls even more so.

Splain | 2,560 Editorials Team · Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I shouldn't have put this off as long as I did, I had sort of a mediocre experience with this game the first time I tried it years ago, and I haven't picked it up since, till now finally. I understand it a little better now. It's still not my favorite game, but it's definitely a great game and really immersive. It's great to accelerate through a corridor with that sweet 3D. 166,600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nesmaster14 | 432 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) 84,800 Just got another run in, here's my best so far. Pretty fun/immersive game and feels overall well-made. I think I might try to beat it outside the contest. So earlier in the week I thought my batteries were bad (it's been a long time since I've fired up the ol' VB), but then noticed it started having display issues. Ordered a gamebit and took it apart. Seemed the ribbon cable got nudged. Luckily, was able to fix it by 3d printing a bracket! (white piece in picture) Rescued virtual boy, now I just need to improve my game lol.
