Most excellent video Sir, loved the original Bounder as a kid! There was a Digimon game on the PS1 that totally ripped the game off too.

@fartknoker8134 7 жыл бұрын

Hey LBJ there was a Digimon game that ripped off Bounder, What was it? I remember Monster Rancher Hop-A-Bout being very similar to this but i don't remember a Digimon game ripping this type of gameplay off.

I consider myself a videogame connoisseur, but I've never heard of this game until now. Cool! Looking at the gameplay & seeing the potential for it holding up to today, I can see an indie developer creating & publishing a remake or making a brand new game out of the unique concept for modern day consoles. Thanks for doing this!

It's really nice to see you get the ball rolling (or bouncing...) in 2017 with a series you're fond of, passionate about, and I'd never even heard of. I'm used to learning things from your show, but it's usually not learning about the existence of an entire series of games. Awesome work, Daniel. Keep it up, and here's to an awesome new year.

I just recently found your channel on the recommended list after watching a couple of Classic Gaming Quarterly. I am glad to see all the series you've covered. There are a lot of personal favorites including Metal Slug and Golden Axe. My suggestion for next series to cover if indeed you are taking suggestions would be The Lost Vikings from Blizzard (Silicon & Synapse. Those games don't get nearly enough love.

Great vid as usual. Never heard of Bounder as a kid, first i heard of it was when the Gremlin guy gave an interview about the iphone game in Retro Gamer. I look forward to your Monty video whenever you get round to it. A Rayman & Sega Rally complete history would be great vids too.

I used to always play the obscure games as kid. So nobody would know the games I played in school, and when I got older nobody would have talked about them in such gaming videos like this (everyone would be talking about Zelda or Super Mario 64 and I'm like "what's that?") - except for your channel. That's what makes me really proud! It used to really get on my nerves

Hey, if you ever see this comment, there's a minigame that is based and inspired off of Bounder in the Bomberman Land Touch! games which came out at around 2009 I think. (I told you, I really do play obscure stuff)

Interesting you did this video about Bounder. I never did play the original Bounder but I did play it's sequel Re-Bounder a long time a go. It came on a compilation title called Mega Games 10 games in 1 on 2 floppy disks for the Commodore 64. All ten games I had never seen before. I later learned that all 10 games on that compilation were never released in the US by themselves only on that compilation. Unfortunately it is long gone but a few other games that were mentioned on this video also appeared on it such as Jack the Nipper II, Thing Bounces Back, Krakout, and Monty on the Run to name a few. I would spend many a late night playing these 10 games on my Commodore 64. Interesting thing about it that it was published by Virgin Games. If you decide to do more videos of games released in the UK for 8-bit home computers I would love to see that.

@MellowGaming 7 жыл бұрын

I do like these vids on the more obscure British games. Never played Bounder as a kid. Was a Speccy kid through and through and I don't think Bounder was as all that known on the Spectrum. It's kinda sad how a lot of these older game series end up as mediocre mobile games or just floundering somewhere. Found out the other day that there was even a few more recent Repton games of all franchises. Great and informative video as always dude. I look forward to more of these obscure series.

Ah, Bounder... I had this on the C64, and I think I might have a copy still in my box of tapes. I don't recall getting past the second level, mind... but it was still a fun game from what I remember. I think I got it on a magazine cover tape. I recall seeing something somewhere ages ago mentioning "Rebounder", but I never actually saw any screenshots, just the name, so it's nice to get to see some gameplay footage of it at last! I need to go check to see if I actually have the tape of Bounder still... I wasn't aware of the mobile release till you mentioned it though.

Did they work on Gargoyle's Quest (developed by Capcom as far as I know) as shown in the video or the Mega Drive game Gargoyles. You showed Gargoyle's Quest but said Gargoyle's so I'm just wondering which it is or if it's something else entirely.

Got the Amstrad Boulder game in a Gremlin compilation & must admit i always wondered if it was bugged as i always ended up dying at the same spot. A couple of levels in id run into a large open gab & just loose all my lives as it would just respawn you right there one bounch from the gab. Or perhaps a special jump boost was missing or wrongly timed? Then again i could just be the difficulty. Must admit that lot of the games back then suffered from a too high difficulty.

I'm from usa and what is the best way to play the first two games? Also this reminded me a bit of a game on sega genesis (mega drive) call Trampoline Terror. A game I had as a kid and liked. And got a copy of it back recently. The game cart is a bit unusual in that the label is only in black & white. I don't think any other sega game ever did that?

@tziirkq 7 жыл бұрын

If you're not the emulation type, then a C64 or C128 (Which can play C64 games) might be the cheapest option. An MSX will set you back quite a bit more than a Commodore. I'm not too sure about the availability of ZXs or Amstrads in the US. I'm told that C64s and MSXs turn up in thrift stores once in a while, so if you can grab an MSX for less than $100 then do it. Hope that helps!
