Just when I thought I knew of every game Nintendo has made, I come across this. Anyone know what this GB game is like?

[Andy]

What in the hell? I've no idea, but I'd sure like to know as well.

[Josh]

I'd be willing to bet that it sucks.

[Opaque]

It's new news to me! seriously... the fuck?

It's like a proto-Starfox, and it's by Argonaut. It's slow as all hell. I haven't played it much (or in a while), so I can't describe it in much more detail than that.

Interesting. That's odd that an Argonaut game would be only available in Japan. I saw the game listed as made by R&D1.

Either way, it doesn't sound like something suitable to the hardware. Thanks for the info.

Hmm...I could be wrong about it being by Argonaut. They don't list it in their back catalog. I do remember that it used some interesting 3D engine, and that someone mentioned to me that Argonaut had made it, so the connection made sense. I'll see what else I can dig up.

Aha, they're connected after all. Here's the profile of Q-games, a company founded by Dylan Cuthbert, former employee of Argonaut.

Then, via a contract between Argonaut and Nintendo of Kyoto, Japan. Dylan developed a no. of revolutionary 3d titles such as X for the Gameboy, and Starfox for the Super-Nintendo. He also developed the un-released Starfox 2 for the Super-Nintendo.

Actually, that pic of the title screen was taken prematurely. Here's a shot of the full title screen, if that helps.

Dolemite, you are the man! That pic is going in my 'Heh" folder.
