HELP ME OUT: In the the next to last level, they started out as EGGS / round discs, right? and then they turned into fetuses, right? or is it only when you get to the cervix boss that you are assaulted by EGGS shooting at you?

If I'm correct, this means that the eggs are being fertilized by unseen evil semen (poor Rick, he's swimming in the stuff).

Yeah, the whole level is the eggs splopping out, and if they land on the ground the egg pops and the fetus will jump on you and cling to you. Ugh. Swimming in evil demon semen. Demon Semen....what a great band name.

sweet! thanks for checking it out! i totally appreciate it

fancy taking a screenshot (or three) and posting them here? Or, at the very least, is he / she a cute log? The sprites in Splash Lake were pretty small... from what i can remember.

Thanks for clarifying that. and moving on.. Demon Semen. I concur, how could there be no film / band / comic book with this title? well, i haven't actually googled it yet... i'm sure some juvenile has claimed this.

Smoking logs

One takes a dive...

Ciggy's still floating in the air for a brief moment before falling in.

These are from the US version, taken with Magic Engine 1.0 PR10.

I always loved those smoking logs! I'm surprised I never thought of those!

THANK YOU for those fab screenshots. You have captured the essence of Smoky the Log and his untimely demise. I totally don't remember this character, so I would never have suspected that Splash Lake was relevant to the "Sanitation" topic.

I'm a dork, but I think Smoky has a cute death scene. As folks pointed out, the cig floating on the water is a nice touch

R.I.P. Smoky the Log. 1991-2005.

Here's a silly one.
The uniforms of the cheerleaders in TVS: Basketball were changed so they show much less cleavage than the girls in TVS: Football.

Haha that's a great one!

awesome. i'm anal, so one thing bugs me: if Basketball came out first, then this fits your theory, but i thought football came out first.... so I'll have to figure it out

Well if football came first, I guess they decided to do some BREAST ENLARGING.

I really hate those BS censorship and alteration for domestic release.

SNES and Genesis are the worst in 16-bit era.

I rarely buy US release at that time because of this and guess how much $$ I've spent ..........

(JPN has better cover art...........you know what I mean)

football came out first. There is an odd white stripe around the neckline of the bball cheerleaders, like it was a quick fix when someone higher up must have complained.

EXCELLENT! You rock, thanks for noticing that, I will definitely put this game in the article and grab a screenshot of this "cover-up" !

It would be kool to compare the computer versions of these games to the TG-16... but I've yet to explore the PC versions (i think there were AMIGA versions as well, I'd check those out first.... maybe plunk down $60 on this amiga emulator i've been eyeing...)

GUTS · « **Reply #28 on:** April 22, 2005, 07:38:56 PM »

Aren't those amiga emulators free? I have one on my Xbox by X-port that works great and it had to have been open source for him to port it, he only did open source projects. I think it's called UAEX or something.

The UAE Amiga emulator is free.
