Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout

did you ever play this game? I have such fond memories of this game. NES was my first console, and this game really had its hooks in me.

I have no clue what language this commercial is but it's pretty great:



I found this while trying to find an English trailer, pretty neat:



I've revisited it and it still holds up, although it is a bit too easy. what do you think of this game?
 
i think i remember the looney tunes game on my gameboy or was it game gear. i remember the road runner level

The game in the store with a bugs bunny label was Crazy Castle so that's the game I played back in the day. Never heard of this one. That's how NES games choices got made...
 
Oh, that's the French commercial.
I had that game back then, it was quite fun to play despite some bullshit here and there. I remember some boss-fights being rather tricky. The stages were large too, with plenty of secrets.

Also, fun-fact : it's one of the two NES games where I actively hunted for AND found cheat codes (the other one being Ghosts 'n Goblins) - if I remember right, you had to hit Select while powering on the console, and it would let you access a stage select screen. I was super proud of this discovery - even more than finishing the game lol

Fun game, plenty of good memories.
 
It was a blowout alright. Blow out your ass!




Never played the NES game, thank God.

A reminder how Bugs & company or Looney Tunes is a stone dead IP these days.
It saw a couple of games back in the PS2 era and today it's no longer a bankable IP. As a cartoon or game license.
 
Some Fridays after school, my family would walk up to the local video rental place and pick out a movie for the weekend and I would get a video game.
Sometimes I would pick this game, and it was absolutely awesome.
I couldn't make it very far, but just the feel of it was so magical.

It was a blowout alright. Blow out your ass!



People like this dipshit are missing the point. We weren't jaded and cynical about video games at that point in time. Sure, the companies were in a cash-grab free-for-all, but for the consumer, it was the first chance to move Buggs around the screen and get into some hijinx with his pals. It was just something you did with your friends on your street in between playing flashlight tag, watching WWF matches, and going to summer camp. This guy was probably inside being moleseted by a relative while he was trying to play Nintendo games, which led to the creation of this caricature as a defense mechanism. To bad so sad, the 90s kicked major ass though.
 
I remember my suffering after renting this at Mike's Rent to Own in my home town.

It was played a LOT during my rentals but never enjoyed.

My worst rental ever was a rambo game, iirc. I got the game and you could walk forward to a NPC who asked for a code. I did not know the code. I could not progress in the game past that point.

I am still pissed at that rental. Why would someone make a game you could not start over AND you could not progress without a secret fucking code? Maybe I was just young and didn't know how to reset the game but in my memory I tried everything and could not get that fucking game to play past asking me for a code. The rental did not come with the book, so wtf was I supposed to do without the Internet?

That nes Rambo game's save system was a piece of shit.

I know you were just a kid, but this works just like any other game with a password save system. On the main menu you select Start or Continue. As a kid you selected Continue and the only thing you can do from there is input a password. The game has no battery back up and boots the exact same way like it's brand new every time.

Indeed, my vague memory of that Rambo game was that it was crap.
