Longtime GAF readers may remember that we covered NeoPong Software, a small game development start-up, a few years back. Their first game,
World Reborn, was developed for GBA. Destination Software signed on as a publisher, but the game was never released. Today that changes as NeoPong has put a downloadable ROM on
their website. Now the world can play
World Reborn, a horizontal scrolling shooter hearkening back to the old arcade days, for free.
GBA ROM files have to either be burned to a GBA ROM cart, the hard way to play, or played through an emulator such as VisualBoy Advance. If you decide to play through
World Reborn, let us know in the comments. I'm sure the NeoPong guys will be glad to see people appreciating their work.

Got a chance to try it for a bit.
It seemed really fun and well made. Pity Neopong never got the chance to release it retail... Thanks so much for releasing it like this so everyone gets a chance to play it though!

They were intending to see it released on another platform, but nothing worked out for them it seems. You can read more about it here: http://www.workingdesignsmb.com/forums/showthread.php?t=342

Big deal. This would have been big if it was over the Wii channels. I can't wait to download Gameboy games on that.

I played through the first few stages, looks pretty good so far. I keep getting the nagging urge to run out and get my copy of R-Type Final back, though.
