  1. I'm one of many victims of the scam that it is "First Press Games", so if you ever see an indie game you were waiting for come out with that publisher, DO NOT buy it. You'll never get it.

    I bought a collector's edition of the GBA edition of "Goodboy Galaxy" almost 3 years ago. It NEVER shipped. They keep saying "this year".

    So, again, DO NOT buy anything published by First Press Games.

  2. Just picked up #GoodboyGalaxy for the #GameboyAdvance. Pretty impressive homebrew. The soundtrack is all bangers as far as video game music goes. Some of the best music I've hard on a #GBA. #retrogaming #homebrew goodboygalaxy.itch.io/goodboy-

  3. I've been trying to get a good, handheld setup to play @exelotl's #GoodboyGalaxy and so far the quest has played out like a puzzle out of a point-and-click adventure game:

    Part 1: Jordi needs GBA-capable hardware

    1. I don't have a GBA.
    2. But I have been carrying around this Nintendo DS in my inventory for a long time.
    3. Talk With Helpful People (after a long, hilarious, sidequesty gag involving a lecture on the Seven Variations of Nintendo DS systems), I learn that the NDS actually can play GBA games.
    4. Pick Up NDS Flash Card
    5. The Flash Card can also run GBA games!
    6. However, it turns out that GBA games being run from the NDS flash card actually have to go through an emulation mode. Weird! To use the NDS's actual GBA hardware, you have to go through the GBA slot on the opposite side of the handheld.
    7. Go through more dialogue options to learn where to get a good GBA flash cart.
    8. Pick Up GBA Flash Card
    9. Success! GBA games are now available on my NDS with native hardware support!

    Part 2: The shoulder buttons

    1. Years of wear and tear have degraded the NDS's shoulder buttons to become unresponsive (known problem). Goodboy Galaxy uses the shoulder buttons, so it won't be playable without them.
    2. Open Nintendo DS
    3. Use NDS Tools on Nintendo DS
    4. Close Nintendo DS
    5. The should buttons work! Briefly. We need a longer-lasting solution.
    6. Open Nintendo DS
    7. Use NDS Tools on Nintendo DS -- oh no! in my clumsiness is forever lost a tiny spring that got catapulted somewhere in my house, never to be found again. Also, the shoulder buttons are truly dead.
    8. Turn On Internet
    9. Use credit card with Ebay -- replacement shoulder buttons are on the way

  4. I want a GBA flash cart for Goodboy Galaxy. I wanna use it with my Nintendo DS (not 3DS, older model that has a GBA slot).

    Can you guys recommend a flash cart to buy? BezosMart suggests this one, which is kind of pricey. Is there a cheaper model that works?

  5. Kennt ihr schon #GoodboyGalaxy? Ist ein niedliches Retro Spiel, im Metriodvania Genre. Gibt es für den GBA, ja als richtige Cartridge für den #GameboyAdvance! Natürlich auch als ROM und fürs Evercade! goodboygalaxy.com #retrogaming

  6. Episode 82! Hoodathunkit?

    In this episode, @deKay, @asktoby and Kendrick talk about #goats. There’s also some video game chat in there, notably to do with #Embracer’s de-coupling, new @evercaderetro hardware and software, and #Fallout (the TV show, not the game, but also the game) and the #BAFTAs. Mostly, it’s goats. And #sheep. And some games: #Noita, #Viscera Cleanup Detail, #xenoblade, #LikeADragon, #AnimalCrossing, #GoodboyGalaxy, #UnicornOverlord and more!

  7. Playing this game since some weeks now exclusively on my Analogue Pocket and I must say it's superb! 🚀 #gba #goodboygalaxy
