When a ROM dump of the unreleased Faceball for Virtual Boy got released earlier this year, it was a great day for Virtual Boy fans. There was a little not so perfect detail, though: The obtained prototype was only about 80% complete. Months of work later, thunderstruck has finally finished hacking the bits and bytes out of Faceball to finish things where Bulletproof Software left off. The hack, called “Faceball: Remastered”, features many improvements and fixes, which let it look very much like a finished game.

56 unique levels (half of them designed by Benjamin Stevens) instead of the original 14 demo levels

Hidden Faceball enemy reactivated

Hidden Menu Image reactivated

Hidden Music reactivated

Improved controls with strafing

Debug menu disabled

New non-Japanese Faceball title screen logo

New and fixed text in credits

The final version of FacEdit, the level editor developed specially for Faceball: Remastered, will also be released soon, so everybody can create their own levels.
