Whatever happened to that guy who said he wanted to make a B-n-B fighting game and was asking everybody to contribute ideas for special moves for all the characters? Is he going ahead with it somehow? Just curious.

What does everybody think about the B-n-B Sega/SNES game due out in the fall? Some videogame magazine (I don't remember which one) showed a couple of pictures from the game and talked about the premise in a recent issue.

Somehow, our heroes have tickets to see one of their favorite bands, GWAR, but unfortunately, Mr. Anderson's smelly poodle somehow runs off with the tickets. Then, Mr. Anderson tears up the tickets by running them over with his lawnmower, blowing little ticket bits all over town. The goal of the game then is for B-n-B to search the town, pick up clues, find all the ticket bits and then tape them together I guess so they can have a killer time rocking to Gwar, who as I'm sure all of you know, if they were to mate with Bananarama they would have the coolest offspring in the history of the world.

Apparently, all of the other characters (Buzzcut, Daria, Stewart, Van Driessen, etc.) are also in the game at one point or another.

Supposedly, the whole game is based on B-n-B channel surfing to go from one place to another. I think the game starts with our heroes on the couch, and when their "conscious bars" (their life power in the game) runs out, then they're back on the couch again, or something.

It sounds interesting and a lot of fun, but all too often these types of games are too easy.

I don't remember the company releasing the game. Comments/additional info would be cool, uh huh huh.

That was me... I'm working on it... I have several backgrounds grabbed and have finally gotten my sprite routines squared away. Not having a full game development system to use, I have to develop the libraries and utilities from scratch, so bear with me.

Did'ja notice the MONTH of the issue? _APRIL_! Also (EGM is the mag) there was no mention of what company was coming out with the game... kinda peculiar, huh?
