DRESS YOUR RACERS IN RED AND BLACK
A very good update comes via Tiny Cartridge today, who missed (as we did) news of a homebrew contest for Nintendo’s much-beleaguered Virtual Boy that netted not many entries, but at very least two racing remakes: the ubiquitous Mario Kart (of course), and, even better, a fancified duotone version of Outrun.
Not only that, but it’s pointed me toward the fact that Vectrex.biz’s Richard Hutchinson, creator of the first flashcart for 80s home vectorbeam console Vectrex (which I’d be all over if I didn’t already own Sean Kelly’s excellent 60 game multicart) has also produced a flashcart for the Virtual Boy. The cart currently appears to be sold out, though, so it looks like I’m going to have to wait to emerge again from those long VB nights with that trademark panda-eyed visor-line around my face.
