Even Mega Drive game makers can't resist the power of OBEY.

The rest of the game makes me think of Pyramid Plunder.

And that mini game in there was taken from here (Bishi Bashi Special 3 - Step Champ (https://psxdatacenter.com/games/J/B/SLPM-86539.html)):

So, the whole game is just a bunch of ripoffs turned into a goofy looking PacMan/QBert/Burgertime On It's Side kind of game..?

I find it ironic they are using the pyramid theme as well.

in a manner that is similar to PP.

oh well!   We've got sweet chiptunes.

EDIT:

Oh, it appears this was an old-ass game at one point.  So, they have just redone it here, with stolen art.

Interesting.

That's rather vague. Links, references, stories, other games?

It was an old Amstrad CPC game.

I will admit, Genesis got game, but that amount of plastic overshadows my PCE setup, with or without CD-rom.

ain't that some shit. I watched their video again and the beginning shows the OG game, but it went by so fast, I didn't really pay attention the first time around.

Looks like they did a decent up conversion/port thingie

yeah, but they ripped off art from other games severely, so that is kind of lame.

So if you rip off a homebrew and put it in another homebrew, besides moral obligations, is it considered legally wrong?

like, take a sprite sheet and use that or use existing sprite sheets as template and redraw the sprites?

The cartoon girl at the beginning looks familiar, I want to say she belongs to Metal Slug, but that's just pure speculation.

They didn't rip off another homebrew.

They ripped off Coryoon. 

a commercial PC Engine game.

That's because of how it's played (grid based, evading enemies, collecting items) and the Egyptian theme, not because of close similarities in the artwork.

Post by: Arkhan Asylum on 07/13/2012, 03:44 PM
Yeah.  But, since it came out before this, WE RIPPED THEM OFF.
kinda, not really.

its a different type of game.

(Read: Not as fun! BWHAHAHAHA)

It's not bad though.   I watched a bunch of videos.  It does look like it would be fun if I had an Amstrad.

I preordered it to see what would happen.  They told me that then needed to charge me 3 more Euro to ship to the US.   :\
