バイオミラクル　ぼくってウパ

what is that? looks interesting!

Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa

So, apparently between the original Disk System release and the later Famicon port by Konami, it was pirated and released as "Mario Baby." I think this is the cartridge for the pirated version. (I can't read a lick of Japanese...)

Edit: I realize that Phoenix Rie's link had a ton info about Bio Miracle, I'm not trying to take cerdit for that info, but it was fairly brisk on the topic of the pirated game: "(also known as Babyland or, inexplicably, Mario Baby [???])" and so I just curious if there's some additional data about the "Mario Baby" and that cartridge label.

Shinobi is by Konami now?

I'm about to finish Castlevania 4, so Bloodlines would be kind of cool...

...Though it would also be fun to play something less known (assuming I can acquire it without leaving my appartment, or spending any money)

edit: Shinobi would be cool too.

It's not Nanobreaker is it?

That would be lol +10.

Where is the game? the tension is killing me...

EDIT: The tension is also snagging me the tippedy toppedy TOP POST!

GigaMach · Posts: 285

I'd do Bloodlines. Or SH1. Been a while, and I just got it back from my friend who's borrowed it three times. I should just buy him one.

How 'bout Shadow of Destiny? Though I don't own it, I could borrow it.

Tell us the damm game already!

Don't you understand? This is the game!

It's soooo postmodern.

I hope it's bloodlines!

Or...tokimemo...?

It's important that you spend the next twenty-four hours as a

ROCKET KNIGHT.

Balzac · Posts: 361

Oh fuck yes.

extralife · Posts: 3316

Yeah. That's a good choice.

skinny coder · Posts: 262

Well I guess my sealed copy of Bloodlines stays sealed!

But ... and this is the strange part... the only other sealed game I have is Sparkster.

This FKW is looking good to me. Just took this one for everyone.

Well, it looks like I finally have a reason to get a Genesis "adapter" for my iBook.

Wilkes · Posts: 1603

I have three Genesis (Genesi?), should I get the cart or get the rom.

For 24 hours only, of course.

Good choice. Great (Genesis) graphics, awesome music, very earthy tone and somber feel, especially later on.

And sooo good.

So... does the boss music remind anyone else of Goonies?

Awsome! I actually own this game!

smartblue · Posts: 254

Rock on! I just popped it in to fuck around a little bit as an excuse to hear the first stage song again. I love that song and how all it's fanfares and its medley just put you in the mood for a great adventure. It's treated me good before and I can't wait to go through it again.

dessgeega · Posts: 3317

i made it to stage 4 before i game-overed trying to jump between those swinging platforms.

i'm averse to using continues so i'll probably give the game another play later. stage 4 looked like the most interesting thus far.

The sole relation is Aki Hata, who, according to that site, only did music.

So that doesn't really get us anywhere.

Or me anywhere.

Other than the character designs, everything feels very Treasure-y. The variety of the levels, the segmented bosses, the over-the-topness. No one else gets the same vibe?

haircute · Posts: 928

I just beat the game and I only died THRICE.

Big ups to the shiny lava part.

Additional big ups to the fact I played the fuck out of this game when I was twelve.

Yea, I just had a recent revelation with Hard Corps in the same manner. I think the thing is that Konami is pretty dame great even w/o Treasure.

the sound those bombs in stage 4 make when you hit them.

extralife · Posts: 3316

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Rocket Knight games and Hard Corp are what make everyone think Treasure was some Konami internal team that left en masse. They may as well be Treasure games, and you're lying if you don't think the poeple that did leave weren't at least heavily influenced by a few Konami titles of the day.

oneEIGHTkevin · Posts: 465

I've never actually beat bloodlines. I haven't played it in about 2 years but it's been sitting in my Sega Genesis all that time so it makes it easy for me. If I hook my Sega up I'll probably end up playing Phantasy Star IV and forget about this whole Konami thing though.

Monthenor · Posts: 455

So I just played through Rocket Knight for the first time. On Easy. With copious save-stating.

I may give it another run-through tomorrow now that I have an idea of what possible in the game, but damn if that wasn't a fine piece of platformer right there. I have one complaint with the rocket dash, in that you can't really cancel out of it once it's begun. You really have to memorize the levels through trial and error rather than reflexes, since hitting a wall and bouncing backwards usually means death.

FUCK YOU ARE RIGHT

Bwuh?... Is Rocket Knight different than Rocket Knight Adventures?? I'm only aware of Rocket Knight Adventures and the two different Sparkster games (SNES/Genesis)

So that means... this is the wrong game??

I vote Zombies Ate Your Mom's Neighbors, the little-know Saturn sequel to the SNES smash.

By the way, great use of Blades of Steel Mr. Mustache. I was going to photoshop a pic that siad, "makes the pa...makes the pass."

But then I didn't.

So, am I crazy? Does not a single one of you hear the Goonies song in the boss music?

Also, stop voting. It is Rocket Knight Adventures.

Fuck, I wish that was a real game.

But I seriously want to play Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

Ok good. Thanks.

Side note: I always felt that Herc's Adventures was the spiritual successor to ZAMN. And it actually exists.

Fucking PSP can not, I repeat can not play genesis games.

That is, unless you like your genesis with moderate frameskips and butchered sound.

Yeah, I was doing alright until level 3 and then the seizure-inducing flashing while trying to see invisible liquids made me call it a night. Was pretty cute up until that point though. I'll have to try it again sometime in a less crappy fashion.

FortNinety · Posts: 4591

Rocket Knight, Hard Corps, and even Bloodlines proves that Konami should have made far more Genesis games than they did. They knew how to make that hardware sing.

sethsez · Posts: 1977

Shapermc looks kinda like Joel from MST3K

Also, I have never played this game despite hearing how great it is. I shall fix this.

I got that same Nintendo sweatshirt for Xmas last year and it just shrank 3 sizes in the wash. Damn.

showka · Posts: 994

Fuck all that noise guys, what we need to play is some Penguin Adventure.

[img]

It's not only the first game Kojima was ever involved with, it's the best game on the MSX other than the two Metal Gears (and it may even be better than Metal Gear 1 as I've never really felt compelled to play through that one, though I'm sure Subsitence will change that).

http://hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com/parodius/penguinadventure.gif[/img]

This game needs an update Konami. NOW.

Yea, mine is a little smaller than when I got it (I think I got it in September?). It was XXL though because I know this stuff shrinks, so now it is an XL and it will still fit as an L, but not as comfy. Also, I just noticed that I was wearing that, I thought I was wearing a different hoody lastnight.

I don't care what you pick Rud13. I'm going to be trying that odd NES game with the baby. Looks funky.

edit: And sure enough its very funky. Like a mix of Chip 'N Dale and New Zealand Story. My kind of funk.
