Following on from playing the Max version of the first game last weekend, my pick this week is Bomberman Max 2: Red Advance.

It's more of the same - Bomberman and Max have to foil an evil scheme whilst retrieving Pokemon-like Charabom creatures again - but this time around the more-detailed graphics offered by Game Boy Advance make Max's busy design easier to read at a glance.

It's a Bomberman game with plenty to do, what more could I want?

I like the art-style in this one - it looks a bit like an old comic-book. I assume that it's straight from the original game, and wasn't altered for the hack?

Correct....... The art style is from the original game and not part of the hack...... You can see the original game here....... And yes it does indeed have a great art style...... The game came out in 1994 during of the steroid era....... So having larger than life roided up looking players is actually quite realistic for the time.......

While the game has the MLB licence but it doesnt have the MLBPA licence so the only real player in the game is indeed Ken Griffey Jr......... Who played for the Seattle Mariners....... who were owned at the time by....... Thats right..... Nintendo......

Quoting: PenglingHahaha!
As I said I know the formula for jokes that you like......

Of course!

Anyway, it looks nice, and it's a real pity that we pretty much never see stylised cartoony sports games like this anymore.

I was planning to join the emulation nation this week. Sadly Mednafen refused to play nice with my controller so those plans were put on hold.

Did some more laps. But mostly worked on a custom livery featuring some really rad 90's colors:


See high-res video to spot Garfield!

It's based on a 1994 Honda Civic touring car. It was really easy work as the SimBin devs shipped some great templates with the game!

Platformers are usually not my kind of games. But this adventure crossover suited my skills. I don't think this is a game that speaks to inveterate platform enthusiast and I found the adventure parts a bit too easy. I did however enjoy the animation, voice acting and characters.


Got them anime zoomies!


- You're a pink pony girl, and you dance in the street!
- Oh mama, I can't bring this Chappell Roan joke home!


Next week. Flight sim'ing with the force?

Yeah one of the very few bands I know enough about to make a joke like that.......
The only others being Metallica, Rammstein, Cannibal Corpse and the Insane Clown Posse....... Besides that I know next to nothing about music or bands.......

So you were really unlucky to pick a band that I actually know......

Oh...... I almost forgot the Looney Tunes Rubber Band......

I liked the madden graphics in the ps2 Xbox era more than the ps3 and 360 versions.

Hi Bruce! Great lineup this week in Emulationville, with some iconic titles like Gran Turismo 4 Spec II and the updated Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball. The journey to unlock the PES Penguin in Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 sounds intense—best of luck reaching 5,000 points! And that joke? Peachless! Looking forward to your next update! My younger brother studying biology, and was working on a project about climate change, didn’t complete it on its own effectively. So I suggest https://ukwritings.com/write-my-essay to my friend using it has a positive experience.
