It runs about the same and it was stripped off from a lot of graphics and the draw in is horrible. SNES version would have been excellent if it wasn't for the HUGE frame drop.
V-Rally is also noteworthy for having a soundtrack composed by the incomparable Alberto Gonzalez! He composed a lot of chiptune songs for the NES and Gameboy era, including the Smurfs and Tintin games. I'm also fairly certain he composed the music for Turok on the GBC, too?
I actually love Bill Elliott's NASCAR Fast Tracks. I played it for the first time about a year ago when I found it at a thrift store. Takes a little while to get the hang of it's quirks, but it is a pretty fun sim with a lot of depth. It takes a lot of practice to figure out the best set-up and line to run at each track. Stuff like damage and tire wear will actually effect your car's performance too. This leads to real NASCAR scenarios, like do I pit under grean and get better tires, or do I slow down a bit to save what tire I have left, and hope for a caution? The game also implements a drafting mechanic too. I just wish you could save mid-race, it would be awesome to do a full Daytona 500 in that game! I usually play 100 mile events, those still take around 40 minutes, and my fingers just can't take more then that. It makes me sad we never got a proper NASCAR game for the GBA though, those Blue Roses people probably could have done something amazing if given the chance! I actually got NASCAR 2000 on the GBC years ago, and Bill Elliott's game from 9 years earlier and on inferior hardware is actually better!
V-Rally isn't just technically impressive, it's actually pretty fun too. One thing that struck me when revisiting it recently is that the different road types actually control differently, which is really cool to see on the Game Boy.
It's cool you're mentioning Days of Thunder because that's my favorite movie of all time. I've been watching it since I was a baby and no all the lines by heart. I'd absolutely love it if they made a new game with bygone era NASCAR cars. I'm a big fan of the NASCAR of old. (prehumous Dale Earnhardt) I like to buy and collect any old school diecasts I can find.
It's for gameboy color, but you should check out Lego Racers on GBC. It's a scanline racer with items to collect and use and whatnot. What makes it interesting is that you can actually still build a custom car like you could in the console versions, and it _does_ actually make the car different in-game to how you built it. It's only three slots to put bricks in, but still. You only have three bricks to start with, but winning each grand prix nets you 2 extra bricks to use (although the game doesn't tell you this...), for a total of 15 bricks to choose from and put on your kart. Rocket Racer doesn't give you _anything_ for some reason. You can also build your own character as well to go along with the vehicle, but only the hat/hair changes in-game. You can see the face on the licence at least, but you never see the body or legs outside of the character creation screen. You can save up to 10 racers.
Please make a video mentioning 1 of the 3 smurfs games for the gameboy. The third being especially impressive for the hardware, with parallax scrolling, nice music, great sprites, etc. Those games were sure a get for the system.
I like Ray-Thunder. Some sort of first person action dungeon crawler with wireframes. Wireframes are very sexy, too. Also Mysterium but not that impresive and Towers, but that's GBC. That demo is very impressive. Reminds me of Panorama Cotton at times.
I'm good with homebrew games. In fact, I believe you should talk about more homebrew games. Homebrew games don't get enough attention, though most of them aren't good anyway, but you should not exclude them because they are technically on the same console, regardless of when it was made.
The Days of Thunder game looks like it could be drawn by someone in real time. V Rally looked impressive, the other's not so much. (not counting the 2011 tech demo)
The Japanese: we'll make a gameboy for RPGs and platformers so we need 0.06 Mhz clock speed processor. Western developers: the Japanese made a new gaming device called Gameboy and it runs Pokemon so let's make GTA on it!.
Funny how that Gameboy stunt race fx seems to run smoother than the snes game.
downphoenix it looks like it's doing some really impressive scanline rendering, while the SNES game was true 3D.
It runs about the same and it was stripped off from a lot of graphics and the draw in is horrible.
SNES version would have been excellent if it wasn't for the HUGE frame drop.
I was about to comment that. Anyone who's played the original probably know what we're talking about :D
The first game is pretty fucking impressive. Goes to show what can be done after developers have unlocked the secrets of the available hardware.
V-Rally is also noteworthy for having a soundtrack composed by the incomparable Alberto Gonzalez! He composed a lot of chiptune songs for the NES and Gameboy era, including the Smurfs and Tintin games. I'm also fairly certain he composed the music for Turok on the GBC, too?
Yup, seems like he did the music for all GBC versions of Turok, i.e. Turok: Rage Wars, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, and Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion.
Those Turok game boy games are so underrated.
Its 2021 and I still play my cart of Jeep Jamboree. Its actually as old as me as it was released in the same month and year as I was born.
YES you're back!!!! Please more of these "graphically impressive games". I love this series so so so much. You have no idea.
Minimme? I haven't heard that name in years.

V-Rally Championship Edition really was quite impressive visually!
"...but Tom Cruise didn't tickle your arsehole..." Did you really just say that? :D

V rally looks amezing.
How they got stunts race fx running on a gameboy is beyond me.
Wow first time I've heard anything bout bill Elliot for Gameboy.. ... literally played a bunch as a kid and no one talks about it....ever.
Tickle my whaaat?
Heyy finally a new video from you minimme. I always enjoy your lists of "Top 5 impressive (old console) video games" videos. Can't wait for more!
Love your videos. Thanks for the content! It’s awesome to see how the Gameboy was pushed to its limits
thankyou!
The first and the last ones are the best
V-Rally with colors = STILL AN IMPRESSIVE GAME ON A GAMEBOY ADVANCE :)
Minimme? More like Maximme-length gaps between videos
awesome bill from dawsonville

5 graphically impressive hiatuses
vague memory of feet
Graphically impressive ti 83+ games please do that
You can also find Jeep Jamboree Off Road Adventure in a 2 games in 1 cartridge called Race Days, and the game has been renamed 4 Wheel Drive.
Jeep Jamboree is also in Race Days, a 2 game cart, along with dirty racing.

i actually haven't seen it! I see the DVD around everywhere but haven't actually sat down for it, maybe I will now
Woah your back
Oi, I missed you mate! RUclips has a grave lack of 2000's gaming content!
cheers
any chance of covering the gba tony hawk games soonish? also, you should do a video on fmvs on the game boy line of consoles.
Yep already started working on Tony Hawk's GBA
GREAT video dude !!!
:-D
I was never a big racing game fan, but i bought V-rally for the rotating car selection renders alone.
I love these videos dude.
Elmar Krieger has been making incredible games on low-spec hardware like the Game Boy and Amstrad CPC since the early 90s!
V-Rally Championship is widely considered the greatest Gameboy game of all time.
The cars in the first game you showed are pretty well detailed. It would be awesome to see a 3DS remake of it.
You sound like Danger Dolan
Velez & Dubail made a 3D game run in full 30 fps on a GameBoy?! That's what I was looking for. Absolute madlads!!!
They also made Driv3r on the game boy advance, then cop the recruit on ds
mini u there
Welcome back!
thanks!
"Tickle your a*shole."
Mmm... fire your writer.
Days of Thunder looks straight up awesome.
I used to have the jeep game, but it was Race Days
Our savior has returned?!?!?!?!?! 🤘
Race Drivin' on the Gameboy is actually rendered with a true 3D engine.
the only racing games worth a damn on the Game Boy are V-Rally, Road Rash and Roadster.
It's for gameboy color, but you should check out Lego Racers on GBC. It's a scanline racer with items to collect and use and whatnot. What makes it interesting is that you can actually still build a custom car like you could in the console versions, and it _does_ actually make the car different in-game to how you built it.

sounds interesting I'll check it out :)
That Days of Thunder game looks like you're playing the Take On Me music video.
omg i had v-rally as a kid
Am I the only one who wants this minime to say "Hey, assholes! I'm Mini Me!" as a nod to the start of Goldmember?
Seeing these videos always put a smile on my face .😁👌
WOW! LOOK AT THOSE GRAPHICS!
Please, take a third Impressive graphics for Gbc
Please make a video mentioning 1 of the 3 smurfs games for the gameboy. The third being especially impressive for the hardware, with parallax scrolling, nice music, great sprites, etc. Those games were sure a get for the system.
I had a dream about this video coming out
Graphically impressive chicken
Whoooah look at those grafix

Noice. I'd love to see you do more psp or even ps vita! Thanks for the hard work you do.
yeah I want to return to the PSP soon :)

Needed it.
V-Rally is WAAAAYYY too good looking and smooth playing to be an OG Game Boy game. I refuse to believe it
the people who made this game is legend
(the one who made those 3d gba and v rally at gb)
and iam sure they now are trying to port the gta 5 to nes
3:14 I cannot stand that the screen tearing is way too bad to be playable
Cound you do some for the NES or Genesis?
The video where you were reviewing only cars games before it was cool
Someone should license that Stunt Race FX homebrew engine and develop it into a full game.
Ohhhhh Yessssh
Very impressive.....
Spider-Man 2 must appear in a GBA Advance list

You need to do another one but talk about the Dragon's Lair port

A SNES FX game ported to Game Boy 😯😄 awesome

I didnt think a gameboy game could make me dizzy but here we are and 3:02 proves me wrong, damn, what is this monstrosity
Playing these games is probably going to split my head apart. Jesus, they're all disorientating.
V-rally my favourite
I had days of thunder
Good Night
Sick.
5 graphically impressive gameboy "racing" games

amen
Hein would love such episode
Hein yo Urbz for GBA was amazing. The story was so over the top.
Sims for Nintendo handhelds were gangster as SHIT
What about ones that aren't racing games?
The Japanese: we'll make a gameboy for RPGs and platformers so we need 0.06 Mhz clock speed processor.
Western developers: the Japanese made a new gaming device called Gameboy and it runs Pokemon so let's make GTA on it!.
That second game is 3 frames a minute!
Put some color on the V-Rally game and it could pass off as an early GBA game.
can you do a most visually impressive games on calculator ?
