Hyperstone Heist on GameBoy

*Ninjinister* · 07-10-2011, 12:31 AM

So I picked this up on eBay about a month ago, and it finally arrived from the UK; thankfully, it cost less than $10 US.

Now, before you start freaking out and wondering about the content, it's just the Japanese version of Radical Rescue. No hacks to the title screen, no graphics hacking, not even the choice of starting as any Turtle other than Mikey. It's just plain old Japanese TMNT 3 (I know because I own the Japanese version of Radical Rescue and I compared them side-by-side - and no I'm not going to sell one now that I technically have two of them).

Still, it's a nice curiosity. I'd seen a few TMNT bootleg games before, but they were all for Famicom, which I don't currently have the ability to play. Thanks to GB being region-free, I finally have a bootleg Turtle game.

Sweet, I thought about bidding on that but figured it'd be what it is. Ya know, a normal game with a new label. Still neat though.

I love how it just says "GAME!"

A worthwhile purchase for a video game addict and completist like yourself?

I wouldn't consider myself either, but yes, I am content with this purchase. Doesn't hurt that it was 5.99 GBP shipped... I spend more than that on caffeine a week.

Don't deny your status! I've seen your extensive contributions to the Fenixware.net database!

That's called being bored as s**t.

Caffeine's a lot more practical.
