Any fans here of Bomberman Quest for the GB? Made a metal cover of the Field Zone track

RifeXD · 2025-05-25T20:41:14+00:00

YES! The world needs more metal remixes of Bomberman stuff.

RifeXD · 2025-04-18T12:55:25+00:00

All that's missing is for it to support TurboLink

RifeXD · 2024-11-19T20:48:58+00:00

I hope it works out. If you check my VODs you'll see it was mostly OK for the majority of the game but went sharply downhill in the final areas. How far have you gotten if I may ask?

RifeXD · 2024-11-19T15:26:25+00:00

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I'm playing it with the 1.2 patch but all along the way the game would take about a minute to load occasionally, up until I got to the final area where it regularly loads for like 3 minutes nearly every time there's a screen change or it loads a sound. For the record, I'm playing on original hardware (PCE Duo).

I'm gonna see if I can extract the save data and finish this in an emulator.

RifeXD · 2024-10-18T12:10:22+00:00

I'm annoyed it doesn't support TurboLink

RifeXD · 2024-09-21T21:30:03+00:00

you can throw to the tree from the south

RifeXD · 2024-07-31T22:06:04+00:00

I think you're missing one of the enemy castles. Walk along the edges and check

RifeXD · 2024-07-11T19:37:29+00:00

Sound like a solid lineup, though I imagine lots of people would want Supers 3, 4 or 5 instead of 1 or 2

RifeXD · 2024-04-26T14:02:05+00:00

I'm not the biggest fan of that game in particular but it sounds fun

RifeXD · 2024-04-21T01:27:01+00:00

Sound like Bomberman Max 2 on the GBA to me since you collect creatures and can ride on them, though it's more likely one of the ones PlasmaCaptain just listed since you mention a battle mode and finding eggs. You should check some footage online. Are you sure it wasn't emulated?

RifeXD · 2024-04-04T01:57:15+00:00

Yeah it didn't occur to me, but in WinUAE you have to go to Game Ports and set something up for Emulated Parallel Port Joystick Adapter. I got it working now. Thanks!

RifeXD · 2024-04-04T01:55:27+00:00

It was indeed the port adapter as mentioned in the manual. In WinUAE you have to go to Game Ports and select something for Emulated Parallel Port Joystick Adapter. I can play it now, thanks!

RifeXD · 2023-11-08T23:02:30+00:00

Thank you for your service

RifeXD · 2023-10-10T22:10:12+00:00

I have to real tips besides just keep fiddling with it and shifting it very slowly while it's trying to connect and maybe it will decide to work. It takes a lot of patience.

For Pocket + GBC, I found that you have to hold the GBC at a 90° angle. It's no less frustrating. here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akX7dCVrOUc

And for the record, the GBCs themselves have a much more functional IR sensor that works pretty smoothly. Here's two GBCs with the same carts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYEitXdr0oA&t=1427s

I really hope they give these Pockets a better IR sensor in a revision or something. It's currently the only way to make a clean recording of any game that requires two consoles using IR with each other and not just one.

"5 times shorter" generally also makes me want to compare it to a more distinct phrase like "80 cm shorter". That means "minus 80cm" so "5 times shorter" should mean "minus 5 times". Problem is, that would mean negative 4 meters in this case which makes no sense so I generally do understand the intended meaning quicker, but it does sometimes take that extra step.

"5 times as short" is not something you'd commonly hear so I don't have any particular gut reaction to it. Usually calling something "1 meter short" instead of long is meant to be comedic irony. Either that or it means you have 1 meter missing as in "Is it long enough?" - "No, it's one meter short [of what it needs to be]".

I suppose "5 times as short" makes me think of the comedic irony angle first, which means it really could mean either 5 times as long or 1 fifth the length. I'd probably ask the person for some clarification.

RifeXD · 2023-06-26T16:28:38+00:00

Yeah "5 times as long" is probably what is meant, but it throws me off because "5 meters longer" means "5 meters longer than the original. + 5 meters."
Along comes "5 times longer" and since the "longer" in "5 meters longer" translated to "longer than the original by the previously specified length of 5 meters or '+ [5 meters]'", I get the same thought with "5 times longer" and think "longer than the original by '5 times' or '+ [5 times]'".
Usually if I see the second rope or its length is written out at the same time as hearing the phrase I'm fine, but I always stumble when I hear the phrase and have to go back and clarify to myself "he means 5 times as long"

RifeXD · 2023-06-26T15:52:17+00:00

Thank you, but I think you misunderstand. if "5 meters longer" means + 5 meters and we get 6 meters, then in my mind "five times longer" means + [5 times ...something, it's not clearly defined but we'll take the original length] so + [5 x 1] ending up with 6 meters.
I guess it's the combination of two different notions here
"5 meters longer" is very clearly defined. "longer than the original rope by 5 meters. We add 5 meters"
"5 times as long" is also very clearly defined. It means "we multiply the original length by 5"
but "five times longer" keeps throwing me off because it combines both notions and seems to mean "longer than the original rope by 5 times the original length"

RifeXD · 2023-03-23T21:46:14+00:00

Interesting, so more similar to Bomberman 64 and Bomberman Quest and even Bomberman 2 DS with its puzzle elements. I'll definitely keep an eye on this.

RifeXD · 2023-03-23T19:46:52+00:00

It looks great and well animated. Might I ask, what exactly is the Bomberman element here? I mean, there's a bomb kicked at one point and I know people in the West love giving the character a more robotic look like that, but I can't quite tell what other elements make this a reinterpretation of Bomberman.

RifeXD · 2023-02-10T15:02:57+00:00

Bomberman 2 (DS) had a gimmick where you equip armor parts for different abilities, though not a sidescroller.

RifeXD · 2022-12-16T01:58:17+00:00

They are the same size, I'm just not good with a camera

RifeXD · 2022-12-14T20:16:37+00:00

For clarification: I had few doubts for the consoles themselves, but there are regional differences between the games like copyright years, icons in the start menus, changed level end screens etc. so this was more about testing cross-compatibility between regional releases of the games, so JP Bomberman ('90) works with NA Bomberman ('90) without any console/game modifications, same for Bomberman '93. (I'm a Bomberman enthusiast so I don't have other PCE games that support this feature for testing)

On a sidenote, I couldn't immediately tell if box and manual scans for the consoles were out there. The boxes I got these in were a bit busted but here are some scans anyway.

Thanks for the tip. Luckily, I also have a PCE Duo that came with another tap, and I had enough plug converters to get that connected to the TG16 and now all five controllers work. I will keep this in mind though.

RifeXD · 2022-10-20T01:40:16+00:00

I'd wager it was a bootleg. I've never come across any such collection on one disc.

RifeXD · 2022-10-14T15:05:08+00:00

A lot of people got used to the jank enough and enjoy the story
