Incredible, I am really enjoying your contribution; it reminds me of my childhood! Congratulations on your great contribution. I just miss the Game & Watch Squish
Love this! So good playing Mickey & Donald again. I owned quite a few of these G&W handhelds as a kid!
Noticed something odd while playing Fire Attack—I played an entire game (A) up to a score north of 400, yet I did not have a single enemy attack the top left & right corners of the fort. Unless i accidentally entered a cheat mode?
Also some games seem to have a noticeable lag issue with the controls (e.g. Donkey Kong 1, 2 and JR) which can lead to misjudged jumps etc.
Both issues are probably related to performance. Try changing to a lower quality setting through the options menu [keyboard shortcut: F4]. Also choosing one of the simpler backgrounds and exiting full screen will help.
The Fantasy Zone community (which DOES exist believe it or not) would consider you a GOD if you somehow managed to add that, cuz it's the most inaccessible game in the series, since real units are often very rare and expensive.
Thanks mate for continuing to keep these games alive. I share your site with as many as I can.... My brother had the PAC MAN wrist watch that I also took to school to show to my friends. And this is a great reproduction. Thanks
I really appreciate the hard work you put into this archive. From years ago now when I requested Mario Cement Factory table top, Balloon Fight and Climber to be added to the library, you have been so accomidating and added them for mine and many people's pleasure, and your consideration to add more for everyone, is a testament to your highest standard of work and dedication to this art. Always gratefull, and the best of luck in all of your future projects.
Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Itizso for Adding Snoopy Tennis to RetroFab! Now add Game & Watch Collection 2 for DS to RetroFab since you added the first one.
I don't think Game B scores correctly in Diamond Hunt. The manual says that successfully crossing Game B should award 50 points, but every time I've done it, I haven't received any.
In addition, Donkey Kong Jr. (Tabletop/Panorama) has a really weird bug where nothing in the game moves after I unlock DK's final chain except for DK Jr. himself until I hit a bird with fruit, die, or unlock DK's next chain. I know you're busy with the next version of RetroFab right now, but I hope that these issues can be addressed quickly. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for your feedback. In Diamond Hunt the 50 points is awarded for crossing the middle screen only if you are playing just Game B. If you're playing all three games together (Game ABC) then it doesn't add 50 points.
Thanks for reporting your issue with Donkey Kong Jr. I wasn't able to replicate the problem in a few quick playthroughs that I did just now (I was able to unlock all 4 chains without any problem), but I'll keep trying to see if I can recreate your scenario with more testing.
I just confirmed that the scoring for Game B works properly. It feels like the manual should have mentioned that Game ABC would score the second screen differently, but this IS Vtech we're dealing with here.
For Donkey Kong Jr., I just played both the Table Top and Panorama versions again until I got the fourth unlock and they both froze everything but DK Jr. and DK Sr. again. The birds, balloons, and umbrellas all stayed frozen in place until I got the next unlock.
P.S. How easily can you add the Nintendo Mini Classics to the lineup?
Great job on Shark Attack. I'm loving playing each new release with the RetroFab enhanced artwork. It adds a whole extra dimension to the experience of playing these classic hand held games. Keep up the great work!
Hey, the added touch screen compatibility is great! But I'm having a problem, it's that when I play in a game boy, I don't know if it happens with anything else but my screen automatically switches to portrait mode. I can get it back to landscape by leaving full screen mode, switching to landscape and going back in, but I think it's pretty annyoing for tablet users like me. I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, but please either remove this since people who want to play on portrait mode just can change to portrait mode manually or fix it if it's not intentional!
Thanks for playing! Unfortunately, mobile orientation is an itch.io project setting and there isn't a way to set it differently for phones versus tablets :(
Great job on Star Trek 25TH Anniversary! Until now I couldn't find a emulated version that had the voices and extra sound effects of the original. And the color version of the artwork looks amazing!
Wanted to let you know about an inaccuracy on Turtle Bridge. Despite the manual saying the range of points per round trip is 2-12 depending on speed, the actual max is 10. In your simulation, the max is 11. This can be easily seen when the game first starts, and you can move as fast as possible, due to no turtles diving down yet.
On Diamonds Hunt, on real hardware, when you hold right or left while jumping, the character will go to the held on direction at the very moment he lands back, in your simulation, he doesn't move at all after landing back unless you press a direction again.
Also, in the grotto, I noticed the snake can kill you, which is not possible on real hardware while you are in the grotto.
Would it be possible to fix these inaccuracies? Thanks for your amazing work by the way!
Very well replicated but there is one problem : in Diamonds Hunt (and probably other platformers) when you hold right or left while jumping, on the real device, the player character goes in the held down direction as soon as it touches the ground! But instead on your simulation, the character doesn't move when you hold a direction when jumping, so you have to press as soon as your character touches the ground instead of just holding and this makes you lose a little bit of time each times! It would be cool if you could change that so it's more accurate to the original gameplay! ;)
I love your version of the tomy sky attack! There is just one teeny
tiney thing. On the original providing you don't miss on your bonus
rounds the enemy ships are at full speed at 1,800 which yours matches up
to, however I feel they need speeding up a bit at that level and pahaps
fire at you little more often. Is there a chance of you making this
change? If not it's cool but I have rolled the score over and got passed
10k lol. Cheers Matt
Thanks for your suggestion for improving the simulation. I've added a topic for this in the community forum and created a dev build with some changes to the difficulty progression for you to try out.
Patience is a virtue... Zelda has a quite complex gameplay.
Itiszo has been working on it in the past, i'm sure he'll finish it some day.
To make these games accurate, a lot of research is needed, so the more complex the gameplay, the more time it takes.
hola, les escribo desde Argentina. Excelente el trabajo que han realizado! es grandioso volver a jugar estos juegos, super realista! Podrán incorporar juegos CASIO, como CRAZY BEE, CROSS FIGHTER, ETC. Saludos y gracias
Is it possible to add the diagonal jump in Donkey Kong II? I think all these are wonderfully made but the lack of Diagonal Jumping, a technique I always use o real hardware really hampers my DKII experience, I'd gladly record a video and show you what I mean on real my real G&W DK II but my jump button hasn't been working right since January and while I wait for a friend to have some free time to repair it I've been trying to play this version instead, sadly it really throws me off because I can't jump diagonally, something I'm used to doing in Donkey Kong II since I was a kid. I tried it with both a controller and keyboard and it doesn't work.
Also I really love your version of the game's background image, absolutely phenomenal.
Oh that's interesting. I've created a test build with this behavior and posted a link to it in the community forum. Let me know on there if it works as you've described.
This is awesome, very impressive. I am impressed how you managed to emulate these, even down to using a unique UI, where as with normal downloader emulators just have you launch the game file. Highly recommend you check this out if you’re looking for retro stuff.
Hello! I love RetroFab, and I really hope we get to see more in the future, but I did want to report 3 bugs I noticed. 1: Muting Game & Watches on mobile doesn’t really work that well, the audio still plays anyway. 2: Donkey Kong 3 randomly freezes. I don’t know if it’s my computer, but in the middle of the game, for no reason, DK3 just freezes! All I can do is open and close the Game & Watch. And 3: Balloon Fight’s miss system. In Balloon Fight, 100 points is 1 life, but even if I have over 100 points and get a miss (therefore letting me continue to play), the UI fades back in, as if the game was set to Time or ACL. This doesn’t let me pause the game. I hope these bugs can get fixed soon, as I absolutely adore your work (and that Balloon Fight is my favorite G&W lol)! I hope this isn’t too much trouble!
Amazing, absolutely amazing. These games are great. My favorite games are definitely: POPEYE (Panorama Screen & Tabletop Series), DONKEY KONG (Multiscreen Series), ASTERIX (Ludotronic), SUPER MARIO BROS. (Crystal Screen Series & New Wide Screen Series).

Gakken runaway please
I've done some initial work on it already, but I still need to find scans of the instructions.
Love this! So good playing Mickey & Donald again. I owned quite a few of these G&W handhelds as a kid!

Is there any way you could add the Fantasy Zone Pocket Boy?

Thanks for the feedback! It's great to hear these simulations continue to bring back childhood memories of playing these games.
Could you add Hokuto no Ken game?
I'll see what I can find.
Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Itizso for Adding Snoopy Tennis to RetroFab! Now add Game & Watch Collection 2 for DS to RetroFab since you added the first one.

I managed to find the issue with DK Jr! It's now fixed for both tabletop and panorama :)
Just seen a video of a retro shop selling Tiger Electronics' Pink Panther game. Would be great to play that here if possible one day.
https://pinkpanther.fandom.com/wiki/Tiger_Electronics_-_The_Pink_Panther_-_LCD_H...
Thanks for sharing! Apparently there are around nine games in this 'Long Screen' series by Tiger Electronics. Looks interesting.
Great job on Shark Attack. I'm loving playing each new release with the RetroFab enhanced artwork. It adds a whole extra dimension to the experience of playing these classic hand held games. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! It's great to hear these enhancements add to the experience of playing these vintage electronic games.

Thanks for the bug report. I'll see what I can do to fix them.
If you find any other bugs you can report them in the community forum.
The issue with Balloon Fight (wide screen and crystal screen) should now be fixed :)
Thanks for helping improve the quality of these simulations.
Thanks!
very cool
Thanks :) Enjoy!
Again, very nice job on Bart vs Homersaurus & Mario The Juggler. You keep impressing me, mate.
Thanks :)
Amazing, absolutely amazing. These games are great. My favorite games are definitely: POPEYE (Panorama Screen & Tabletop Series), DONKEY KONG (Multiscreen Series), ASTERIX (Ludotronic), SUPER MARIO BROS. (Crystal Screen Series & New Wide Screen Series).
Continue doing this, your work is amazing!!!
Thank you for your feedback!
It's much appreciated :)
This is amazing. Your work is absolutely incredible. Keep it up!!!
