Couldn't find a shot of the back of the box but it must be bad as there are NO screenshots on it what-so-ever!!

Jaleco gets an unheard-of company to remake and ruin a relatively unknown PC shareware classic and in the process kills the franchise:



Why, Jaleco, why?

Anyone remember the Data East game, ' Bad Dudes Vs Dragon Ninja ' ???



These Dudes don't look so tough. As the box says, " R U A BAD ENUF DUDE? "

Jesus, that's a mock-up surely? The pic of the kids is bad enough (enuf) but that text? I claim fake!

[importaku]

Thats so bad it deserved editing, if thats real whoever did it nees to be beaten to death with a xbox.

Tadaa now its perfect.

[Crisp_Rapper]

it should be called 'rad' dudes, on account of their amazing shirts.

I see that the dog, judging from the the odd white bit on its snout, wrote the logo for that game in icing.

Or maybe it's Tipex (that'd be really `street` like when the kids used to cover their school bags and desks in the stuff).

Alternatively the dogs just doing teh hardcore drugz!1111!!1.

Or judging from the muscle queens, its just spunk

ok question, how the hell have pheonix games got away with
a) producing so much turgid ****
and
b) manage to keep making box art that is consistantly worse than there last bad effort.

not to mention all the border line copyright infringments they are clearly walking on.


Still, chemist tycoon

It was part of a release list I found whilst googling. I lost the list, and can't find any info on the game at all.

It seems very strange to me. It wasn't from a fake site though!

[bingowings]

they are the baddest mother****ers you will ever see!

christ almighty, they look like runts rejected from The Village of the Damned.

[NekoFever]

I couldn't stop laughing at that one. Not only is it ugly which is offensive to everyone, they decide to make things even worse by giving it a racist name and pissing off the copyright lawyers. Disney and Namco both need to lay the smack down, methinks.

And the cover of Street Warrior looks like it's got Marcus Fenix with his shirt off in there.

Wasn't this a kid's tv series as well?

[cutmymilk]

I've never heared the game but the character is a major Bucky O Hare rip off.

Unless it is the US name for the character, or something.l

[Spatial]

Nope, it was done by Cliffy B of Gears of War fame. Made some time around 1994 I think.

[Lyris]

Yeah, and the rest of the game was a Sonic rip-off

Jazz Jackrabbit was awesome, great 2D shooter.

s'what Epic did before Unreal!
