Following our report that Elite is being ported to teletext, news has broken that someone is trying an even more ambitious teletext conversion. Teletext enthusiast Byte High No Limit (teletextR on Twitter) has recreated the cult PlayStation rhythm game Vib Ribbon in teletext, with the triangle, circle, square and X buttons emulated via Fastext buttons.
The teletext version has been named VBI Ribbon (VBI stands for Vertical Bkanking Interval, which is the part of the analogue TV signal in which teletext data could be broadcast.
So far, Byte High No Limit has only released a video of VBI Ribbon in action, with no word on if a playable version will follow (or even if it’s possible.) We’re sure TV geeks and gamers of a certain age would love the chance to play VBI Ribbon using the background music heard on Pages from Ceefax broadcasts.
