I just got this game recently, and I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.  I'll have to give it a play soon.

HOLY HELL!  How did I miss this thread years ago?  I love JJ & Jeff!  I have both versions just for the crazy differences.  I never bothered to track down the music composers for some odd reason.  Thank you esteban!  I love crazy music like this.  One more reason I'm a huge Mats/Morgan fan.  Haha everyone at that show is at least in their 30's.  Totally awesome! :D

BTW Matsuzawa posted this himself? :shock:  Nice! :D

Also why is tats not there drunk and dancing around!? :-k  I figured he'd be bum rushing the stage when the diamonica got pulled out.

This...is pretty great. Not sure what I was doing in 2010 that caused me to miss this thread.

BTW, if you have the Saturn version of Puyo Puyo Tsu there is a pretty f*cking awesome concert bonus. It was a live event to promote the game (these terrible things happen all the time in Japan) and its basically three guys with vintage (even then) Korg junk making really cool music. Maybe I'll upload it to Youtube some day.

Not sure why JJ & Jeff get so much hate. I enjoy it for what it's worth. It's actually very playable compared to the lower tier Turbo games.

Exactly! My best guess: he's passed out in the bathroom.

OK, I lied, its actually five guys.

BTW, Youtube was the only way I could even watch this video without putting it into an actual Saturn. Quicktime X, classic Quicktime wouldn't play it. VLC played it, but with no audio. This is good news since I don't have a capture card anymore.


Now *thats* how you rock %0.25 of a football stadium.

BTW, early 90s dorks are a lot less scary and pathetic looking that current day dorks.

JJ and Jeff is horrible. Although it is more playable than Falcon.

esteban will surely change the word horrible in the previous sentence to something like "spectacular", and then say "fixed it for you" :D

I wouldn't call it, "Horrible." More like "Semi-Awesome!" :D

I like JJ & Jeff, admittedly a lot of it is nostalgia but it controls pretty well has nice graphics and a funny theme. It was many years later that I got a chance to play Kato and Ken and I get why people say JJ & Jeff is so butchered.

You guys are forgetting that I *originally* (circa 1990) thought JJ & Jeff was mediocre/average, at best. Yes, I played it and enjoyed it, but I thought it was fundamentally lacking.

Fast forward a decade, with a chance to compare JJ & Jeff (and, eventually, Kato-chan & Ken-chan) to all the other platformers of the 8-bit and 16-bit world...and I realized that it wasn't such mediocre bilge as I had previously thought.

Years ago, my favorite description of JJ & Jeff was "the bastard-child of Wonderboy/Adventure Island."

Well, now, I love that bastard.

Do you know what is more amazing than the plumpness of the singer? The fact that I wish I was at that damn "concert"!. I was old enough to go with getting a permission slip, too.

regarding kato-chan & ken-chan. I always thougt of it as a very good and outstanding game (for its time). I first saw its graphics in a german game mag back in the end of 1988, and I thought I was dreaming, it looked so good and full of life. Watch at those woods, it's just like you're actually right there the adventure takes place
