    The outside says V-Rally Edition 99 and is a clear, Game Boy Color-only pak; the inside says V-Rally Championship Edition and there is a black, Game Boy *or* Game Boy Color pak with 'V-Rally Championship Edition' on the outside too, though released in '99; in-game things are almost identical but there are subtle differences, such as the middle road line in that first course being single dashed not double continuous. The degree of visual similarity makes me think this GBC-only edition of the game didn't make as much use of the GBC functionality as it could have.

    It's actually good you removed them from the boxes as the paper and card board may contribute to lead rot, an affliction that affects Star Frontiers minis unless they were the ones sold at Sears which required better quality lead. It's also good that you covered them in paint as this helps seal off the lead from environmental acid which causes lead rot.

  • @wefinishthisnow3883

    I actually like this game. The AI cheats (it always does maximum damage, has +1 movement and is very good at placing large missiles where you don't want them). This makes it quite difficult depending on the map and which units you've both selected. You should ALWAYS choose Cross-Fire on every map. Planes don't do anywhere near the damage required, they're basically scouts and you will always lose in a head2head battle because the AI cheats. Therefore Submarines with Large Missiles are the only real way to ensure that you do maximum damage. Plus, submerged submarines can't get touched by planes, battleships and large missiles. The scary music when the AI is taking their turn, hoping you don't take a hit always draws me in.

  • @jdmcdonnell71
    @jdmcdonnell71 Před 14 dny

    In my take on Knight Hawks you erect a void field around the ship which warps space and allows for faster than light travel. Unfortunately, in doing so the space inside the field begins to unravel which can prove hazardous to the ship and the health of the crew. Every 10 light years does 1d6 damage to the ship's occupants. So despite being able to go many times the speed of light, you still have to travel in short jumps to safely get from place to place. While messing around with this, I too found myself wondering about the size of the galaxy and what it would take to cover it in a single jump. Turns out it would take 15 days to go from end to end and do 10001d6 in damage to each crew member. So you can do it! But you'll emerge as a subatomic stew on the other end. Space. It's a big place :-)

    Hey, I remember watching your video a long time back regarding the original Johnny Walker Blade Runner bottle that you had manufactured. I don’t totally agree with those whiskey guys regarding the Director’s Cut version and Double Black. The quality of the Director’s Cut version is quite a bit better because they use higher-quality whiskeys for the blend. There’s definitely a difference for sure. Regardless, I had a bottle of the original whiskey and when I typically get down to about a third of the bottle, I transfer it over to smaller bottles to make sure that it doesn’t oxidize as fast since there would be more air than liquid in the bottle (FYI: whiskey aficionados normally say the last two “Fingers” always taste different/off compared to the rest of the bottle). I have three 60ml bottles of the original Director’s Cut whiskey, and I wouldn’t mind sending you one assuming that you’ll accept a random bottle of random whiskey from some random stranger. Let me know if you’re interested!
