What was the last official US released Hucard game?
« on: February 03, 2009, 05:43:31 PM »
Digging for some info and can't quite figure this one out. I can only find the year of release of the later Hucard games and not the exact date. I do know Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, and Bonk III: Bonk's Big Adventure are likely candidates. Bomberman '93 was also released in 1993 but i seem to recall one of the other games coming out afterwards. Which one was the absolute last hucard in the us?

I'd say Magical Chase was the final US HuCard.  Click here for the discussion.

I almost never have any luck with forum searches. Forum search engines tend to be kinda crappy and generally only useful when you know a topic was discussed and already have some clue as to what to search for to get to the thread in question.

Sometimes that is true.  In this instance, searching for the germane parts of this thread's title ("last official US released Hucard") will return the above linked thread as the fourth result.

I only have luck with the forum search engine when I'm looking for a thread I've read in the past (In this case I know good key words to search for!) If I've never seen a thread of a certain subject, it can be hard to find a thread on that subject. Some of the threads on this site have obscure names (I know I'm guilty of creating some, haha.)

Yes, a lot of times people don't use descriptive titles in the creation of their threads, so you have no idea what the thread is about without clicking it.  Therefore asking a question that has been discussed in the past here is acceptable.  Heck, it's encouraged!

No one ever refuted my points about Bonk 3.  The release dates in a couple of the final catalogs and the different packaging also support this.  Here's my old post, I'll make some actual scans this time when I get home later.

I think that Bonk 3 became available at my local Radio Shack before several other HuCards. Plus I never saw Magical Chase in the Turbo-loving town nearby until quite some time later. Of course by the time I found it, it had been discounted down to $5. :wink:
