This page list hacks developed (or believed to be developed) by Cube Technology.
Contents
Observations
General
- A handful of standard VT02 hacks were developed by Cube Technology. They are difficult to differentiate from Inventor hacks, so they have been listed on the Inventor/List of hacks page instead.
VTxx games
- The games only seem to have originally been included on a series of sport-themed plug 'n plays called Game Sporz.
- Music and sound effects are left intact unless otherwise mentioned.
- Several of the hacks listed here have not been found on any consoles so far. Their descriptions are inferred from screenshots on an old Cube Technology website.
- A few systems (such as the Multicade 230) rename the hacks to their original unhacked game's titles for unknown reasons.
VT368 games
- Most, if not all, of the VT368 hacks feature both a standard version and one that doubles the screen resolution. The upscaled hacks are found on plug 'n plays, with the standard ones being featured on handhelds.
- The larger-resolution variants are very difficult to find, and are only known to be featured on three systems - the Interactive TV Shooting Game, the DreamGEAR Wireless Video Game Station (200-in-1), and a specific variant of the MiWi (BS-9800).
- Every hack changes the music and sound effects to be sampled from royalty-free sources. They are slightly faster and higher-pitched in the upscaled versions.
- The amount of lives in each game is increased, and is sometimes infinite.
- Inexplicably, the ability to pause is removed in every game.
- All VT368 hacks (except for Dual Hoopers) completely remove the title screen; the first option on the respective game's selection menu is automatically chosen, with the others inaccessible.
- On plug 'n plays, the 1P and 2P controls are combined into one joystick. While the 2P modes aren't accessible anyway, this allows games like Bananas (Gyromite hack) to work with more standard controls.
