tomba was advertized in like every magazine, and yet nobody remembers him. seemed he was primed to be a mascot of the timeframe of anime becoming a big thing to kids in the states having a very cliche look including pink spiky hair but it wasn't enough to propel him even beyond the likes of croc or gex in remembrance

correction
YOU don't remember him

>>11824271
i do remember him, and also how he gets very few threads here, or discussion in general in the universe

I remember Tombi

few cared for 2D, everyone was hyped for 3D
>but anime was becoming popular
You people always think anything anime was selling like hotcakes. It was just a new niche, but a niche still. Tomba isn't much of "anime" and most jarpigs that weren't Square didn't sell that well in America. It wouldn't sell much unless it was DBZ

santa's little helper is a squirrel, confirmed

>he gets very few threads here
I see a lot considering. Someone recently spammed tomba for weeks.
It's an okay game iirc, haven't played since 99 but I remember it being a little janky.

I would really prefer if you would be quiet.

But yes, you are correct.

One of my favorite PSX games

>>11824265 (OP)
This... looks fun

>>11824283
same here

>>11824626
Oh it is

>>11824265 (OP)
I still have a poster I got from a magazine in my toilet

>>11824706
imagine the feces buildup

>>11824713
You make a good point

I just think he's not that compelling of a design for a protagonist. Who the hell wants to play through a platformer as Blanka's shitty little brother?

>>11824760
I did. You're just a bitch.

>>11824706
Is he gonna fuck that piggy?

>>11824706
literally my tinder experience

I'd honestly rather it if you'd make silence.

>>11824283
you hamless socialist freak

I used to read your gaming magazines back in the nineties when you weren't such a country of pussies

>>11824265 (OP)
That's what happens when the game is bad

>>11824265 (OP)
I do. It was a good rental.

Is it true one of the demo discs had the full game on it? I think i was lied to by a brown man at a used game store.

>>11824265 (OP)
Because he doesn't talk.

It just feels like random shit haphazardly thrown at the wall with no unifying theme or hook to tie it all together.

>>11826046
Pic related *might* be what he was talking about. It's only speculation on my end since I've never confirmed it for myself, but this demo of the game ends on a timer of I think 10-15 minutes. There might be a way to shut the timer off using a Gameshark. No idea how to do it or if it's even really possible.

My sister really loves this game.
I liked it.

>>11826360
yeah was about to post this
i just played crash and dino crisis, and she had her copy of tomba

Love this game. Played this and the sequel back in the day. Have ton of great memories of it. I replayed the first several times over the years. It's great. Makes me sad no other game tried the same formula of metroidvania + adventure + action + semi-openworld. in the same way.
