Beggar Prince: Official Thread

did any of you return great games like Valis III, Strider or Phantasy Star IV because of the horrible box art?

Of course not, but then again there weren't other versions of the art available. Many boxes fall in to the "so bad it's good" category. I think Beggar Prince fits there. I'm not too bummed about the new art for this reason, but it would be nice to offer the new cover for print or a cheap ($5 or less plus postage) sale. I'd probably buy the new cover just because it *kind of* looks more like a Genesis cover on the back with the hyper-big "32 Meg" and whatnot.

Holy Cats! Just read everything posted in the last four pages...

I purchased BP during the first run and loved it. Sure, the new cover art is a step up and 32x owners can finally save, but those things never mattered to me. So, personally, this doesn't bother me one bit. I do though understand why others would be bothered by the whole thing.

And come on, this wasn't even close to the "worst article on the site". Have you read any of my stuff :D

to be honest

i have this one but i never played it out didn t like it that much
1 player no friends that travel with you and then the fighting first i hit then the other hit and if there is still one enemy left he can do as much damage as the group of enemies together
phantasy star is more game that i like
or in third remake if the fix that than i buy it again

ReVival magazine (France) published a review of Beggar Prince in this month's issue.

14/20?

That's the page number.

I knew that... I was just testing you :D

I just pre ordered mine. Thanks for doing the re release Death Adder.

Ok! So, now I'm back in the USA after a week spent enjoying France - doing touristy things in Paris, and spending two days in Congis for the Retrogaming Connexion 2007. The whole trip was very enjoyable, but for me, the convention was the heart of the matter: meeting French retrogamers on common ground, sharing new ideas back and forth, and trying to understand each others' point of view, way of life, etc. France was already a great supporter of Beggar Prince, but now, I've made some friends out there too - so things couldn't be better.

We had three game products on display (and for playing!) at the RGC:

- Beggar Prince [new version] (Sega Genesis / Megadrive)
- Zaku (Atari Lynx)
- Super Fighter Block Battle (mobile phone)

I'm recovering from a rather nasty respiratory problem right now, but once it's cleared up I'll post some photos from the convention.

When's the new print run going to ship?

My illness has mostly cleared up, but I still have not had adequate time to prepare some photos from the Retrogaming Connexion. Luckily, the RGC team has prepared some nice ones themselves, and has posted them to their website. If you click on the link below, and scroll down a bit, you can see the Super Fighter Team table.

Before the end of the month.

Goooooood.

Digital Lard (England) posted an interview with me regarding Beggar Prince, Super Fighter Team and et cetera.

*** Digital Lard interview with Brandon Cobb ***

How the hell can you pick Snow Bros. as a favourite game? It is nothing more than a Bubble Bobble-rip off and by far the worst of all ultr@ r@re Mega Drive games I've bought.

It's that crazy thing called 'taste'. Kicker, ain't it?
