Holy Mackrel! Why is Rainbow Islands so expensive?

[soop]

better get bomberman '93

it's even cheaper and he best bm ever

I WANTS THE KANGAROOS!!!    I have '93 on the Wii, and I was very disappointed that I was actually thinking of '94.

Both 93 and 94 are now available on the Wii Virtual Console.

I think after reading this thread, I have to play some Rainbow Islands this weekend since it has been so long.

Nice, thanks for the list.  A couple were in mind already, and I have Bomberman '94 (<3 bomberman)

cool, if you've got a wants list PM it over I might have a few of the titles you're looking for.

Rainbow islands is a strange port! It was released 6 years after the arcade release, and that didn't help PCE's image.

I think, same goes for Strider and Tatsujin. No matter how good these games were, this is not a wise decision!

Whereas the Snes/genesis were getting current arcade titles (when they did), we were seeing stone age arcade ports on the PCE.

I think this is one of the reasons why SNES eventually overtook the PCE.

NEC should have known better.....

So these are the only three arcade ports that matter, and the other PCE arcade ports (such as the NeoGeo titles) that were often superior to the ports on the MD/SF don't count.  You're a genius!

I don't think porting these titles after such a long gap was a good idea!

Just get Bubble Bobble / Rainbow Island for the Sega Saturn.  It is the ultimate version of each game, and it should cost about USD $20.

Why is it expensive?

Because people are a$$holes.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Depending on what Konami does, Bomberman 94 was going to be coming to PSN with trophies, but, with them supposedly cancelling all of Hudson's projects, it's up in the air on what's gonna happen.

And a Saturn

Will do - cheers!

A loose Saturn with a controller is about $30?  Combined, you get one of the best systems ever made, and the definitive versions of Rainbow Islands and Bubble Bobble for $50.  Beats paying more than that for just Rainbow Islands.

NAH, BM'93 is so superior! f*ck those kangaroo farkers

Tatsujin is weird. He thinks BM 93 is the best Bomberman, Super Star Soldier is the best Soldier game, etc..... And he has ten copies each of those "Bikini Girls" discs. I think he was dropped on his head as a child.

[Tatsujin]

I know for certain that I'm by far not alone with my opinion about BM'93

And super star soldier is only the 2nd best soldier game. which also makes it the 2nd worst

Unfortunately only 4 copies left
