Breakout had tennis players in the artwork, but Super Breakout is in space? 🤷

Sounds like the artist was going for depicting the color bars as a forcefield to give them physicality, and also liked the visual of them being reflected in the astronaut's helmet.

These specific Virtual Boy carts aren't being made any more, unfortunately. You can still find them for insane prices on eBay though.

At the time, I think these were the only ones that did something like this. Now, if you Google around I believe you can find a couple other projects out there for other systems that have some sort of display built into the cartridge so it can display a game label. Not sure how many are finished products you can buy, or how many are open source projects that you would need to DIY.

Yes, it happened within an hour of them landing on NSO 👍

Virtual Boy was cartridge based, these flash carts are cool because they have e-ink displays in them so that you can load custom label images to see what game you have flashed.

This is what an original cart looks like

I'm not sure what you're asking, but yes - these are Virtual Boy games (loaded on a couple of flash carts)

You should look up this book!

Warlords!

Something I forgot to mention, you can "fix" the speed in the Super Game Boy FPGA core by going into the core's settings.

The main Analogue Pocket FPGA core(s) for playing Game Boy cartridges doesn't recognize these Wisdom Tree carts as legit carts, as far as the system behaves - there's nothing in the slot.

There is an openFPGA core for the Super Game Boy, though, that will read original Game Boy games from the cart slot, and I've found that I can play Wisdom Tree carts if I use that openFPGA core.

But also... Yes - the AP can be a FPGA SNES that can read roms from the sdcard, and is also a lot of other systems by using openFPGA cores. Combined with the dock and some wireless controllers, it's a less powerful mister system - but a portable one!

I had the King James Bible and Joshua carts as a kid (and still do), but I never realized just how many games Wisdom Tree released on the Game Boy!

It sure is 👍

It's a fantastic device!
