Ok, compare and contrast; the first shot is of the Mega Drive’s Mega Bomberman, the second the PC Engine’s Bomberman ‘94. ‘94 has much more vibrant graphics, and I that river isn’t animated on the Mega Drive version, but is on the PC Engine version. The music does sound quite lethargic however. Maybe there’s a setting in the emulator I can play around with.

Random retro gaming item I’d like to share with the class:

The amount of sheer, delightful randomness crammed into Parasol Stars is unlike anything I’ve ever seen.

The core mechanic is collecting bubbles on top of an umbrella which you can then throw at everything from anthropomorphic castanets to a woman throwing deadly dollar bills from the back of a unicorn-drawn slot machine carriage.

Sometimes you collect rings that make stars rain from the sky. Sometimes you create a “miracle” that turns enemies into giant strawberries.

Trust me, this barely scratches the surface of the smile-inducing surprises contained in this game. Parasol was originally released on PC Engine/TurboGrafx16 in 1991. It’s well worth tracking down.

Also, if anyone knows of other retro games that match the energy of Parasol Stars, please let me know. I’d love to play them.
