About

A blast from the past! Bill & Ted’s Retro Collection includes Bill & Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure and Bill & Ted’s Excellent Gameboy Adventure: A Bogus Journey!

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure

An NES game based on those two bodacious dudes of movie fame? Excellent!!!

History has been all screwed up and only the San Dimas Duo can set things straight. Awesome responsibility, man. Ride the Power Phone Booth to six different worlds. Galactic, man. Search for famous Historical Dudes through space and time. Most Cosmic.

Talk with the likes of Julius Caesar (he invented Caesar salad) and Napolean (the short, dead dude). Send them back in time or you’ll miss the Wyld Stallyns concert—starring you! Heavy.

Its a bodacious, mind-boggling role-playing adventure. And your only chance to save the world and earn the respect you deserve. No way – yes way!

A most excellent role-playing adventure!

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Gameboy Adventure: A Bogus Journey

A world without our most excellent compatriots Bill and Ted? No way! Yes way—if the Grim Reaper and the evil Bill and Ted robots get their way! DeNomolos wants to totally change the future, and the only way to stop this most heinous dude is to travel though the “circuits of time” and collect the stolen time fragments! 10 adventures—50 quests.

But watch out! Historical dudes like Billy the Kid are tumblin’ with killer tumbleweeds while the Executioner has an axe to grind with you. Napoleon has a “short” temper and even Granny S. Preston Esquire tries to bag you. Most Bogus!

Time is running out… so be excellent to each other and party on dudes!

Ps5 lol

 

[ManaByte]

No Lynx version. Booo

 

[lh032]

Ps5 lol

8k, 240fps with max RT

[Punished Miku]

It's good that these are now preserved, so future generations can learn from our mistakes.

 

[Wohc]

I like old games, but 35 Dollars? That should be 4,99 as DLC only, the case + disc are almost worth more than those games.

 

[Gambit2483]

The Gameboy game was actually pretty decent...can't say the same about the NES version

 

[anthony2690]

Who is asking for this crap?

Limited run are legit churning out turds for a premium and crazy collectors are lapping it up.

That being said, they do have the odd decent game here and there, the upcoming TMNT and tetris effect connected, I might grab both of them.

 

[strange headache]

I love the movies, but the NES game was an absolute atrocity.
Why would you subject people to this torture again?

Make it a $5 digital sale for collectors, but nobody wants to play this again, especially not the target audience for this.

 

[jshackles]

I'll probably buy this as a gag...

Maybe that's what they were going for all along?

 

[Punished Miku]

I'll wait for the Digital Foundry system comparisons.

 

[SF Kosmo]

No Lynx version. Booo

For real, this is the only one of those games I'd actually want to play -- assuming they did something about that password system.

 

[Bullet Club]

I'll wait for the Digital Foundry system comparisons.

I need the framerates!

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

It's good that these are now preserved, so future generations can learn from our mistakes.

 

[Rayderism]

Bogus, heinous, most non-triumphant.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Its a sad day when garbage like this is coming but we still don't have an Ape Escape Remastered Collection

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Liked the first and second movie. Third movie was awful just like the shitty games.

Don't know who the target audience of this shitty games is.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is still one of the best movie soundtracks ever. Megadeth, Primus, Faith No More . . . even the cringe Winger and Slaughter tracks are entertaining in a horrible way.

 

[existensmaximum]

Who even likes these games..? They are notoriously bad.

 

[The Fartist]

 

[DryvBy]

These games are horrible but I'm happy they're getting re-released.

 

[RoboFu]

The NES is pretty cool but it takes a bit to really get into it.

 

[aygomyownroad]

Thank goodness I have an Xbox!!!

 

[Mephisto40]

Both of these games are awful lol

 

[Krathoon]

I liked the third movie.
I like how it was really supposed to be the daughters that save the day since they studied music.

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. The games were not that good. Limited Run is scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
They need to bring back Willow for the NES or some DOS games or something.

 

[Pejo]

I don't remember these games being good even a little. I guess get what $$ they can since there's not going to likely be another time that they're relevant.

 

[ManaByte]

For real, this is the only one of those games I'd actually want to play -- assuming they did something about that password system.

Only Bill & Ted game that was remotely worth playing. The NES and GB games were trash. The Lynx one wasn't terrible.

 

[Krathoon]

The thing is, Limited Run will take forever to make these and the games are not that good.

I am still waiting on Zombie Ate my Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol.

 

[Krathoon]

They got this, but it is too dammned expensive.

There is another one, but it does not have the fancy box and poster.

[Krathoon]

The thing is, Limited Run will take forever to make these and the games are not that good.

I am still waiting on Zombie Ate my Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol.

I am curious if they will alter the cart reprints of those games. I am sure they will take out the Lucasarts and make it Lucasfilm Games.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Needs more Atari Lynx version

 

[nush]

Those games were fucking shit then, and are even worse now. LRG should have got their shit together and launched this alongside Bill and Ted 3, I'll cut them some slack because pandemic in this case.

Games are still shit though.

 

[aliadiere25]

These companies are taking the piss with these retro releases. Wonder Boy is like £25, this is £27, the Sonic collection is £37, and the Turtles retro collection has a placeholder price of £30 plus.

There is no way they justify these prices. They're essentially ports of the older versions. They shouldn't cost more than £20.... and even that's probably too much.

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

Will this be bundled with de E.T game? Since all are the same level of crap.

 

[Krathoon]

Oh. I would lose it if they made a physical of E.T.

 

[jaysius]

People need their nostalgia fix, even if it's shit.

 

[Max_Po]

Limited Run Games...

selling gold painted turd... again...

 

[Badlucktroll]

The NES game? oh hell no how about an LJN back to the future collection too. $40

 

[Alter_Fridge]

All 3.76 people who asked for this will be jizzing themselves

 

[A.Romero]

Love Bill & Ted but I would never play this. Much less pay for it.

 

[SkylineRKR]

LJN was one of the most forward thinking publishers, look at their fucking logo:

These guys should be fucking revered.

 

[The Stig]

Who asked for this?!

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is still one of the best movie soundtracks ever. Megadeth, Primus, Faith No More . . . even the cringe Winger and Slaughter tracks are entertaining in a horrible way.

Rofl. Winger.

 

[CamHostage]

Oh. I would lose it if they made a physical of E.T.

They could make a package of ET Atari and ET Interplanetary Mission. (Oh no, I've given them the idea...)

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Ps5 lol

PS5 Need a lot of power to support this shitty game

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Rofl. Winger.

Yea, they're terrible. But Megadeth, Faith No More and Primus did new songs specifically for the soundtrack and they're great. Eventually added it to collection albums later, like Hidden Treasures, Greatest Hits, etc.
