no offense but are you like 30 years old!!! on the game it says 1991 and you mustve been like 7 or 8 to play the game correctly...and I make the correct calculations you should be in your late 20s but I don't know when you were born so there's a possibility that you are 30 or older

Ever heard of emulators ? to make it clear, if you want to do something, you don't need to be born with it, I can make fire with flint and steel(reference to a certain game ) but I'm not born with it.

m a gamer for about 10 years now played these nes games in 2000 or 2001 and seriously you don't have to be born with the game to play it
if I would make a bloody post on pacman you would say I was 40+

before doing math use your brains and reason with the topic

*laughing out loud* I'm 27 I used to play this on an Atari 1024ST with a wopping 1mb internal memory. without a harddisk. thing worked on the good old 1,44 mb floppy disks !

Just realized I'm startin to get old...

3 1/2 floppies aren't THAT old. Now, 5 1/4 floppy disks -- that's considerably older.

As far as the topic goes, it's just "Rainbow Islands", not Rainbow Islands 2. I actually possessed this game growing up as my grandmother loved to play it. It actually was fairly challenging for a 8-9 year old with some bosses that required some unique maneuvers to fully avoid attacks. The rainbow platforming (self-created arcs) system certainly was unique and is not something you really see in ANY platforming game. Still remember the 6th boss or so, a geisha (I think?), that offered up tons of trouble.

Kind of fits back in the chronology of when I used to rent Dragon Warrior II-III from Premiere video (back when they had an ice cream service built in!) and make partial progress on my save file before returning it in a couple days. Only one other person in the entire town ever rented the game with me and we sort of had a little race on progress as time went by (different save slots).

Ahh, such nostalgia.

Haha good ol' dragon quest. I recently completed the Nintendo DS remake of IV. Good game, especially if your into the nostalgia gaming vibe. Now onto V. They say it's the series best.

you just repeated what malek said ... But no...if you were to make a post with Pacman I wouldn't think you were so old because there are different versions being made all the time

*laughing out loud* I actually won the full game about 4-5 years back
I had put it on da pc {nes emu}
but I kind of feel like a uninformed participator because there were load/save game optians in the emulator
but I must say the gameplay was superb even now I feel like winning it all over again

when I used to play it on the nes I had gone to max 5 level

While I agree that the water was epic, you are mistaken about the title. that's a different game. The stages and pickiups are different, the boss and enemies seem the same though.

And yeah seeing the word "Hurry!" appear in combination with a flood siren was just to epic *intense laughter*

Friday, February 25, 2011

you but the game clearly says bubble bobble 2 on da startup screen

see da video I put

wow I wonder how the forums were 10 years ago

Ah yes. It is the same game title, but its a different game.

Did a quick search job and found this.

The video shows the US version, which is a copy of the Japanese version (only the song is mixed up a bit the Jap version song is somewhere over the rainbow)

The European version on the other hand is a direct port from the arcade version and thus fundamentally different from the Jap and US versions. One could say its a copy of the original where the other 2 are totally new games.

I played the European version :p

Another difference is that the european version was harder as a platformer. You could not bounce off the rainbows like you could in the US or Jap versions.

I got the US version. But I want the EU version since that's what I played on my NES.

Thing is comparing the two the US version seems to easy for me. And that's not when I want when I think of nostalgic games. Nostalgie for me is stuff like Zelda 2 where you get killed every few minutes *intense laughter*

The european version had no save game feature. You had to beat it in one sitting.

neither did the jap/us verson

but the nes emulator has a load/save feature

edit-what were you thinking when I mentioned save game feature in my previous posts?

I was thinking the old battery in the cartridge thing that lets you continue after you quit.
