LOL, stop the big cheese from polluting your beach!? Now we have games like San Andreas shoot'em up gang territory style. I can own the beach or shoot anyone I don't like.

The stuff they put in games now there's no way they would've got away with back then. I guess it's just like movies though. Robocop almost received an X-rated title because of some scenes when first released. Robocop!?

Ok, back to Camp I wonder what a used copy would fetch for. I wonder how many copies circulated since it didn't do well.

good points

I wonder how much Camp would be as wel. I haven't actually checked ebay... primarilly because I can't afford it -- so why tease myself?

I've never played the released/CD version, so I'm not sure how different it is from this version - the screenshots I've seen however look quite different from the card-based proto I've got:

From what I remember, there are maybe 4 different levels/environments in what I've got; I'm assuming the CD based version has many more, since the CD would hold much more data than the card, but without playing it I can't be sure...

Damn Sprout! Those screenies are different from the cd version. Very interesting buddy. I am interested in how you obtained a copy of that card game. I remember it going to be card then scrapped for cd. Let us know.The romz for that would be killer to have.

It was sent as a pre-release/review copy to me when I used to review games (wrote for VG&CE & TurboPlay) - I don't believe we ever ended up using it for a review, but I made sure to keep a copy of the ROM's so I could play it later. I've got several other TG16 games that are slightly different from the released version (different music, title screen slightly different, perhaps a trainer built-in), but this one was obviously a lot different. I'm guessing they were going to do it as a Hucard originally, and then changed their mind to do it as a CD version instead...

I've otherwise never been able to get it to work in an emulator; worked with the author of "MagicEngine" for a while, but didn't have much luck. The issues seem to be that because I have the raw ROM images as opposed to a version pulled off of a card or CD, I have to manipulate them and combine them in just the right fashion for the emulator to recognize them properly, set them up with the right memory mapping, etc. Some of the ones I have (IE Dead Moon, Silent Debuggers) seem to work fine, but others (Camp California, Kadash) either don't work at all, or only come up partially. Need to mess with them some more at some point.

wow, totally intriquing...

do you think any of your other prototypes are significantly different than the released versions?

I just picked it up off eBay for $40. That's complete with the manual. Not to bad, eh?

no, not bad at all

I'm jealous ...

i bought a bunch of games recently that I totally can't afford, but Star Parodia is worth bankruptcy (or so I hope)!

Me lovez Star Parodia!

Well, Camp California arrived today. It's about what I expected: a very cheesy platformer with a lot of bad 90's "surfer dude" dialogue. It's good for a laugh, though. I was surprised to find out that yes, there are actually real Beach Boys songs in there, not just MIDI recreated stuff.

Keranu · « **Reply #39 on:** March 30, 2005, 12:49:34 PM »

Damn it, I want that game!

oh man, tell me what songs are on there! even if you don't know the official titles, simply tell us how the refrain / chorus goes!

I sooooo want this cheesy game

Congrats on getting this, jlued. You lucky b*stard

How much did you get it for, Jlued?

$40. look at the old posts, Keranu

I attempted to look at the old posts before I posted, but I got lazy and said the hell with it. Nice deal though. I saw Mindrec was selling the game for 20 bucks once and I was going to get it, but missed out.

KingDrool · « **Reply #44 on:** March 31, 2005, 12:04:40 AM »

I only played it for about 15-20 minutes, and in the time I heard "Get Around" and "Good Vibrations". Luckily there was no "Cokomo" or any of that crap. At least not that I heard. But there's no real BB music during the levels. It all takes place in between.

And like I said, the dialogue is all "dude...bogus...gnarly" and all that stuff. Very cheesy, but humorous. It's a pretty clunky platformer. Again, I only played through one level, but the bear character's only attack was punching. You have to dodge beach balls, lobsters, and other things.
