Habitrail: Herbie the Hamster! (I remember it to have a different name for the PAL version thou...)
I never knew someone had actually made a game staring a Hamster in his ball!
Sounds like Super Monkey Ball to me!
it looks to be a good laugh, and as i hadnt heard of it before n thought id share it with you lot incase you hadnt either!

That actually looks pretty damn awesome, if it wasn't an import I'd be all over that.
Then again if it wasn't an import I'd have probably bought it on release day. LOL
Thanks for sharing Caut.

This is probly one of those games who will be worth some cash in 10-15 years :)

My god, that game looks awesome. I will totally buy that if it comes out here. Dog's life did, so there might still be hope.

It's been done before. Don't think it was ever released tho...
At least I believe there were parts where the hamster was in a ball...

jajaja, when did that come out? Reason I ask is because Virtua Hamster is a 32x title.

That hamster reminds me of the Stuart Little game that came out for the PSX. Which like most PSX games sucked.
I wonder how its controlled... Maybe its like the dual-joystick Katamari Damacy, seeing how it looks so simple and there wouldn't be a lot of buttons to press, like FPSs and RPGs do.

Not sure, but the 32x is much older. I think this version came out maybe 1 year ago or so.
Habitrail Hamsterball is published by Phoenix Games which is one of the many budget publishers in Europe, here is the official site for the game (http://www.phoenixgamesgroup.com/games/hamsterball/hamsterball.html).

This goes to prove my new theory that great games have to have big balls.
Yeah, well...ummm yeah

Little balls like marble madness do just fine :)
I bought that hamsterball game through real arcade btw. Pretty cool and the kids love it.
