Adventure Island

We'll keep this one very short and sweet as there isn't much to say about Pac-Man, especially in this format, and we'll move on to our next game.

Bomberman Tournament, released June 26th, 2001 in North America, published by Activision and developed by Hudson Soft, who, according to what they want you to know, is the company best known for Bomberman, sure, Adventure Island, okay, Star Soldier, and Bonk.

You guys remember Bonk, right? Hit Bonk.

Uh, but I think what I best know them for is for their work on the Mario Party series.

And then, you know, like, I'm going to rent this guy.

I love the Adventure Island games.

Here's Super Adventure Island for Super Nintendo.

Another Yuzo Kishiro game.

And it's like, I love the Ys series.

Revenge of Shinobi is such a great... uh he was there again i'm not it's i keep saying i'm not much of an autograph hound however i have a lot of games i have autographs on now um and he was one where at the show i forgot to bring my games for him to sign and i couldn't find anything in brazil that he did the soundtrack so i found like the it's up in my closet i kind of grabbed it but it's like the um it's like this like a six and one uh mega drive game for the genesis and revenge of shinobi happens to be on there so it's like i'll have i'll have that one at least

that's cool

i mean like i couldn't find my act razor i couldn't find my super adventure island all right you know i couldn't find my i don't like these book one and two you know

Yeah.

I mean, he, you know, unsurprisingly, he specifically mentions Mario as being an inspiration for this, but I'm assuming that there's some Adventure Island in there as well, given that Takahashi Meijin, or Master Higgins, whichever name you know him by, he has a similar armament where, you know, just normally he can't actually attack, but he can pick up axes and throw them.

So it feels kind of similar to that in a lot of ways.

And yeah, for whatever reason, like between, what, the years of like 1987 maybe, and then like maybe when that awful, awful live action Flintstones film came out-
