One of five games I had for the Gameboy. I never finished it, but had a lot of fun with it! Lol.

This game was a ton more fun than you would think

[–] JunkMuffler@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

It really was! It was well designed for its time and the hardware availabile.

[–] InfiniteLoop@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

YES. do i remember anything about it? no…

[–] JunkMuffler@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

It’s alright. I’m just glad others remember it existing!

[–] woodenskewer@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

buster busts loose is a great game. I forgot it existed until seeing your post.

Shout out to Tiny Toons Cartoon Workshop for the NES (of all places).

Rented it and a NES from Blockbuster for my birthday when I was a kid. Blew my mind that I could make my own short cartoon pixel animations to show my family on the tv. (This was before I had experienced stuff like Mario Paint.)

Trouble at Wackyland on the NES was one of my big childhood games.

It was also brutal. Never came close to beating it as a kid.

No, but I played Buster’s Hidden Treasure!

[–] Xenanthropy@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Busters hidden treasure is one of the best genesis games!! I'd put it right up there with sonic

[–] JunkMuffler@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

I didn’t even know this existed! I’ll have to look it up.

This was the game I chose when I got my Gameboy. I definitely beat it, can't remember a ton about it, but it was a solid game. The NES game was top notch too.

[–] JunkMuffler@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Never played the NES game. I came close to beating it but never could get past the boss to the final level.

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Find a rom, and check it out. It's a banger.

I do remember the boss being a big issue, it took me a few days.

[–] JunkMuffler@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I may have to do that. :) I need to buy a good handheld that can play that stuff.

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

I've just got the old classic Raspberry Pi 3b. My 4 year old just about loses his mind playing the old games like Sonic, etc.

[–] lunarshot@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

definitely, you just unlocked a core nostalgia that was buried deep!

[–] JunkMuffler@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

My grandpa was sick a lot so I spent a lot of time waiting for him in the emergency room. I played this to pass the time!

[–] Bjoern_Tantau@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, I loved it! I think I beat it once or twice. The races were especially hard. We would get a pen and use it to quickly alternate between a and b. That seemed to be the best technique. I've also installed the game on my Steam Deck, but I don't want to abuse it like that.

God, and the boss fight with the werewolf was super hard.

Funny story, my older brother made me believe that he had an exploit to see the game's ending. He would press all buttons and then it would show. But every time I tried it it just made the game reboot and show the intro.

Thing is, that's what he did as well. I have no idea how I didn't see that every time he did the "cheat" it would show the same thing as when I tried it. Especially because I knew both the intro and the end. And he confirmed this the other day as well. Guess I was just a very stupid kid.

Hahaha! Your brother skins awesome 😂 and yeah, the wearwolf fight kicked my ass too 😂

[–] degrix@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh man, yeah I remember playing that a bunch on the game boy

[–] JunkMuffler@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Glad I’m not the only one!
