WTF? This is a homebrew game but WTF?

I never knew there was a homebrew scene for the VB but apparently, there is and there quite a few games/demos out.

Why do I have such a soft spot for the Virtual Boy? I shoulda bought one when Blockbuster was selling them bundled with all the games for like 50 bucks.

Never knew there was a VB homebrew scene. That's pretty damn cool.
 
Much like the Virtual Boy itself, that website hurts my eyes. Neat content though.
 
A Virtual Boy Silent Hill game would still freak me out, even if it's only red and black :|

Funny, I thought the Save Screen in Silent Hill 2 was scary as shit...

Is that when it fades to red and you see a reflection or view of James's face?


I dont know man, even the little things about Silent Hill scare the shit out of me. I'm a wuss :(


On a unrelated note, I just checked gamemp3s.net and there's a link to one of the submissions for the SH Movie poster contest and this one rocks and kinda freaky:

Yeah, that's the stuff.

My sister and her boyfriend came over to my place on the weekend to hang out, so I played Silent Hill 2 with them for a few hours. It was incredible just seeing their reactions to it - you could visibly tell they were both shaken up once they hit the Apartment area. Dude was hammering that X button like mad...

What an awesome game.
 
Now survival horror would be one genre where the whole VR goggle idea would really kick major ass.

That looks like Twin Victims from SH4.

It really would. Playing Virtual Boy is one of the most immersive gaming experiences created, due to having your face in the headset and not being exposed to any outside influences, even light. It would be incredibly frightening to play survival horror games, that is, if the Virtual Boy had enough graphical horsepower to pull off a decent looking game.

I would think being only in red and black would make it even more freaky.
