Title: What is this game?
Post by: solfood on February 01, 2004, 10:17:44 pm
okay...I know I'm not making this up.  

it is baseball themed but sorta a platform/fighter where you have to have to fight your way through various baseball themed things like walking bats and balls, catching mitts etc.

any ideas?

I swear I played this in MAME once.

It has the "Winners Don't Use Drugs" public service announcement screen.  I find that ironic.

if you've ever seen extreme elimination challenge on spike tv--this wouldn't be that far out there ;D  Those japanese media guys come up with some of the most bizarre (and eventually funny) stuff I have ever seen!

solfood, I find that the people here on byoac are pretty helpfull when it comes to getting your cab the way you want it.  So if you realy want this as a marquee, I'm posting it here and I'm sure someone will vectorize it, then you can send it to one of those printing companies listed in various places on the boards.

Hahahaha, that's just scary.  This reminds me of the group Stoned Temple Pilots...we were like how did they come up with their name?  Let's take 3 words which have absolutely nothing to do with each other and put 'em together and that'll be our name!  Ninja Baseball Batman?!?!

^^ My geuss is that it got a little bonked in translation, possibly more like "ninja baseball-bat man" and the break got put there, instad of keeping baseball bat together

Id never seen it till Mame, but its definitely a wtf? game heh

I think one is the name of the band, and the other is a description of the band.  ;D

I think you're giving the game designers too much credit here.

I think their game design brainstorming sessions probably sounded more like this:
"You know, I bet if we put buttons on that, people would pay to push them".

For proof, I submit THIS (http://caesar.logiqx.com/html/emus/multi/mame/ryorioh.shtml).
1-screen + 2-coin slots + 4-buttons + 1-button addict = A commercial quiz game about COOKING?

Tell me someone actually sat around thinking about THIS one!
They had to have built the game as a joke, installed it somewhere, found out that there really WERE people dumb enough to spend money on it, and THEN submitted the idea to marketing.
