Has anybody played Johnny Bazookatone for the PS-1 or Saturn?
Is it any good?
There was also a 1996 PC CD-ROM version.
I remember someone lending me a copy of the PC CD-ROM version, but the disc I got, did not have any executables or setup files to install & play the game, so I would imagine that it had more than 1 CDs...
How many CDs does the game consist of?
Which version is the best & is it worth tracking down?
Thanks in advance.
Johnny Bazookatone...
What I vaugely remember is that the game was God awful. Very poor hit detection, bland/bad level design etc
Ikaruga review now up in PLASMA BLOSSOM
I got the Bazookatone CD back in 1996-97 & it was an original CD not a copy.
I had only just been introduced into the PC realm in late 1995, so I wasn't very familiar with the files of a Saturn/PSX CD.
As far as I remember there were no *.exe, *.bat or *.com files, so naturally I thought I was missing the 1st CD or something...
Now that I think about it, it must have been a PSX/Saturn CD mistakenly placed inside the PC CD-ROM package.
It was a package by KIXX, similar to the “Terminal Velocity by 3D Realms” KIXX package.
Since I didn't know what to do with it, I sold it to a poor noob the following week.
Since this was one of my early PC CD-ROM games & the fact that I never got to play it, left me unsatisfied & wondering what it was like…
The Bazookatone screen shots remind me a bit of Biomechanical Toy on MAME.
I still want to try it…
