Artwork available

WIP:

- 23rd October 2006: 3D ARCADE - New 3D cabinet model for Fast Freddie from BTribble.

- 16th October 2006: Mr. Do - Bobby Tribble sent me a BUNCH of photographs. I worked on the easy ones first: Fast Freddie bezel.

- 0.82: MASH simulated protection in Fly-Boy so the original version works.

- 0.36b9: Changed clock speed of the 2x AY-8910 to 1536000 Hz.

- 0.36b8: Zsolt Vasvari added Fly-Boy (Kaneko 1982). Changed 'Fly-Boy (bootleg?)' to clone 'Fly-Boy (bootleg)'. Renamed (flyboy) to (flyboyb).

- 21st October 1999: Zsolt Vasvari added the original Fly-Boy romset to the driver.

- 0.34RC2: Known issues: Cocktail mode doesn't work in Fly-Boy. This seems a problem with the original.

- 0.34b1: Added color proms ($0, 100, 200).

- 0.33: Fixed colors in Fast Freddie (sorry... this slipped by in 0.33 final).

- 0.33b3: Zsolt Vasvari added accurate colors to Fast Freddie/Fly-Boy. Fixed gfx rom loading.

- 0.31: Brad Oliver added 'Fly-Boy' (Kaneko 1982). Zsolt Vasvari added clone Fast Freddie (Atari 1982). Known issues: Cocktail mode doesn't work in Fly-Boy. This seems a problem with the original.

- 6th January 1998: Kevin Klopp dumped Fly-Boy (bootleg).

- 1st April 1997: Kevin Klop dumped Fast Freddie.

History

Arcade Video game published 37 years ago:

Fly-Boy (c) 1982 Kaneko Company, Limited.

Take off on a fantastic video trip. A voyage that simulates the thrills and skills of actual Hang Gliding. Players use the joystick to control Freddie, but good timing and strategy is necessary to successfully negotiate invisible air currents, wind direction and up and down drafts. This game has incredible visual impact for this time, Freddie flies the skies over the Alps--over trains, trees, bridges, through winter and summer seasons; over the Pacific--over a yacht, tropical islands, an aircraft carrier; and over Egypt--camels, Pyramids, the Taj Mahal, the Sphinx, through day and night landscapes. It's a complete global challenge with non-stop action over a continuously changing panorama below.
