Surprise! It's... Game Boy World #081
🕑 Added 2017-01-08 21:32:00 +0000 UTC Yeah, I know, I said I wasn't going to do another Game Boy World for a while. But then I spent all day and night yesterday with my computer tied up ripping LP records for a Retronauts episode, which meant couldn't do any audio recording or video editing work. Instead, I used the down time to write this script, and it all snowballed from there.I would like to offer you a comprehensive look at the video game Patlabor: The Mobile Police, but unfortunately the language barrier and lack-of-quality barrier both conspired to keep me from making much progress here. So please enjoy instead a video that's about 2/3s a fond look at Patlabor the franchise and a few minutes of "meh" about the game.
Someone actually predicted this exact outcome for the content mix, incidentally. So, well done, you.

Thanks for finding that. Looks like it plays the same throughout, so I don't need to amend anything. But I should really sit down and try translating that end-of-stage text, because the numbers seemingly have no relation to the codes you use.

Also - I don't think this will change the review at all, but here is a video of someone playing Patlabor past the first level (registration required?!) - <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm720957." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm720957.</a> The part you want is at 3:56. What is going on? I have NO idea. Maybe you will. You can also see further into the game at the same site - <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm721074." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm721074.</a>

Now I want to see the Patlabor TV series! Can't say I want to play the game however. It's also really pleasing how nicely the ping pong at the end syncs up with the music.
