The first movie was dubbed in 1991 by Streamline -- poorly -- and I think that was it until the equally bad Manga series dub in 1999.

But the cover indicates wacky hijinks during a Real Ghostbusters episode rather than a loving tribute to 80s slasher and gore flicks.

I discovered that the Japanese name for RoboWarrior was Bomber King. This is the box art.
The American box art for RoboWarrior looks kind of shitty (http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/9/94/Robo_Warrior_NES_box.jpg).).
So for whatever reason (probably getting the Kirby effect to sell to American audiences better) the original Robo King box art was stuck on the American Bomberman cover.

I compiled this with dates and everything.
Bomberman was developed before Bomber King, which would be released as Robo Warrior in America, before they released Bomberman in America.

So why did they put Bomber King on Bomberman's US box? Was it because it closely resembled the Japanese Bomberman boxart? Was it because Jaleco published Robo Warrior in the US?

Goddamn it was really difficult for me as a kid. My parents gave it to me for Christmas one year.Never could make it past the third stage. Played the rom a while back and figured out how to farm 1-ups and beat it.

Here's another from my youth. To be fair, though, the cover IS pretty radical.

Not really, no.
And it's not that I'm a weeaboo, I just don't see the point in altering the "spirit" of the product based on how out of touch publishers see that market.
Or rather, I don't care if they change up the box art, as long as it's as good as the original. Changing the main character into a Kathoey is not an example of that, but boy does it have hilarity value.

It means the total capacity of all the ROM chips on the cartridge is over 350 megabits (~44 megabytes) Most of that is graphics. CPS and NeoGeo graphics (and most arcade platforms up to the 1990s) are bulky as hell because there's no way to compress graphics or generate them programmatically; every sprite and background has to be stored in ROM exactly the way it's displayed onscreen. Things like the gradient backgrounds in SF games when you win with a Super Combo have to be stored basically as a big BMP.

Me too. Early post-apocalypse game, which I think is what I found intriguing as a kid.

Check out the arcade version in MAME, it controls better and is overall a decent game compared to the NES port.

Ah okay, he's referring to the PC, XBox and PS3 ports.

The arcade, Dreamcast, PS2 and Gamecube had the proper music by Bad Religion and Offspring. I have no idea what caused them to change it for the other systems but it was probably based around money and not giving it to the artists.

You know, I thought about posting this one, but it's not that bad. Great game, too, although kinda pointless after you beat it once. The Wii sequel is fantastic, actually.

Actually, if you didn't know, the guy behind the NES Blob game is David Crane, designer of Pitfall on the 2600. They're kinda similar, aren't they?

Crystalis's box art is pretty accurate to the spirit of the game, it's a guy with a sword and shield fighting monsters in a field, but why does he look like Mel Gibson?

oh god, I had this, it was pretty much a competition game sold to the public, it was a horrible idea because it was completely useless once the competition was over, because the game was timed so you could never actually finish the game and was all about getting a highscore.. and the game it's self wasn't very fun anyhow, you were supposed to take a picture of your best score and send it to MTV (it would make perfect sense that MTV was behind this shit)
not sure why this thing says "by playing it to the finish" because you couldn't because the game was timed for like 20min or something

went on wikipedia and it had this explination of the contest that went a long with the game, this makes more sense in context with what I remember, the timed version must have been for "practicing" the game, once you put in the password you would probably get to play the game without a timer, I wonder if there is a crack to make it function like a normal game, though I guess I could just see if I could find the password on the internet

After the game's release in late 1991, players had until noon EST on April 11, 1992 to practice beating the game.[2] At this time, MTV revealed a secret password. By entering in this password and the game's serial number before beginning the game, players unlocked a secret sixth "Prize World" level. After this, players had until midnight to complete the entire game including the Prize World. This prompted the game to reveal a 24 character code. By calling in to a special hotline with this code, players had a chance at winning one of 36,252 prizes.

In fact, Inafune and crew WANTED to make MM2, but their superiors at the time were like "Meh. It didn't sell the first time. You CAN make it, but only if you work on THIS assignment we have for you".

This is why Inafune constantly cites MM2 as his favorite: it was a literal labor of love. MM3, meanwhile, was his bosses going "HOLY CRAP THAT ROCKMAN FELLOW SELLS BUCKS MAKE ANOTHER ONE" and now business as usual.
