[edit] X (Game Boy game) VS. FaceBall 2000 (Game Boy game)

I made a few changes to this article in regards to its status as "the first and only" 3D game for the original Game Boy. According to this article, X was released in 1992. However, in 1991, FaceBall 2000 was released for the original Game Boy. I know it's not highly impressive with it's bland walls and such (and I haven't played X, so I can't comment on how they compare), but the game was a "3D" First Person Shooter. 71.244.180.48 04:54, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I think it's probably better to qualify the famitsu statement with "in Japan". It certainly wssn't the only 3d game in the West as Days of Thunder was a wireframe racing game. I don't remember many others though. I seem to recall that faceball 2000 wasn't realtime 3d and more a set of screens showing a 3d maze from a first person view that you navigate through?

Isn't there a way to take the one and only picture for this game/article and use it as the "main" picture, above the infobox? -dogman15 00:46, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Faceball 2000 is not a three-dimensional game. It uses sprites to feign a three dimensional graphical representation. X was the first (and only) truly 3D game for the original Game Boy according to video game history professor Chris Kohler's "Power Up". As for Days of Thunder, maybe it was a second. I just played the game and couldn't tell if the game was in x,y,z coordinates or not. It was certainly suspect to me, because the game was entirely on rails and the car could not be turned or stopped.

Anything we should do in particular with this info, or should it be left alone? 64.81.169.20 (talk) 00:21, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] X was actually developed in Japan

According to this Super FX documentary video, Dylan Cuthbert worked on X in Japan. Parrothead1983 (talk) 06:46, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
