NES ボコスカウォーズ / Bokosuka Wars in

[@Kojain]

Yes. This was one of the many popular games for the NES at the time... :-/ BRAVO! YOU WIN!

[@RazorEdge2006]

@Jagged85 I think the reason why the NES version was inferior is probably because of hardware limitations. The NES console probably couldn't animate as many sprites on screen at a decent speed as the X1 or MSX computers could, so they probably reduced the size of the army and limited it to a small party, turning the NES version into a random trial-and-error fest instead of a real-time strategy like the original computer versions.

[@JessePrower]

As in things that would normally be up to luck, like winning a battle in this game, is manipulate to always go in your favor instead of letting it be up to luck.

[@OceanbornAngel]

This is just about as exciting as watching paint dry.

[@camkun55]

懐かしいなぁ。これ本当によく遊びました。うp感謝です。

[@TheSk909]

thanks for Bokosuka Wars!

[@Tigerfog]

The music is mesmerizing. O_o

[@SimuRei]

Damn, the main character must be a fucking robot. Look how we walks through those trees like they're nothing!

[@AbbeAbyss]

Dude, this brings back memories from playing NES games with NESticle on a Pentium 100MHz box. Must have been like eight years ago. Since then I've been thinking, from time to time (about once a year or so, while contemplating on the ambivalence of the Universe), that this game is arguably one of the shittiest NES games ever. Yet someone probably spent a lot of time putting it together. I don't know why I just wrote this! =)

[@KeijiKG]

Yeah Dragon Warrior, which was released years later from Dragon Quest and much more improved. Have you played the Japanese Dragon Quest on Famicom? The graphics, gameplay and password save system... it feels like a different game from Dragon Warrior with its improved visuals, tweaked gameplay and battery backup. Oh well, hey I've got something interesting for you to know. Did you know this game (Bokosuka Wars) was developed by the same team as the NES Ghostbusters? Strange huh?

[@Colaup]

Cool Music

[@KeijiKG]

It was early 1985. Even Dragon Quest 1 was fairly primitive.

[@康弘小平-z6g]

ゲームの内容は全く覚えてないが、音楽だけ何故か覚えている。

[@schtolteheim]

LOL, at 3:26 you can hear his little peasant entourage(last seen 1:57) dying in a futile fight.

[@RazorEdge2006]

@RocMegamanX You can download the MSX version of Bokosuka Wars by looking for it on Google, and then run it on an MSX emulator. Same goes for the X1 version. There very little text, so there's no language barrier issues. In fact, much of the text that is there seems to be in English, even in the original Jap X1 and MSX versions. Either way, the X1 and MSX abandonware versions of Bokosuka Wars are far superior to the inferior NES version that Nintendo released on their Wii Virtual Console.

[@RustyLeguito]

Is the music copyrighted?

[@kozoty]

すごい！

[@makokun9]

Bravo, Ultraman won!

[@Oja-Gacha]

Cool!!

[@2yossie]

TASだってちゃんと明言してるからいいんだけどさ。。。それでも、これはコード改造してクリアしても何の意味もないゲームだよね。。。

[@p.m.dragon1677]

何でステージ終わりの壁に兵卒が張り付いてないんだ？

[@Lazarus174]

someone should make a remake of this game....

[@Chaoktarukto]

Well, they made a sequel

[@skyrunner14]

Oh no. Apparently, this game is on VIRTUAL CONSOLE in Japan. The horror! :-o

[@KeijiKG]

Yeah.

[@RocMegamanX]

@Jagged85 How? Isn't the MSX Japan-only?

[@MrTAKUMI1976]

これ持ってました。 すすめ～すすめ～　ものど～も～　じゃまな～ てきを～　なぎたおせ めざせ～ てきの～　しろへ～　オーゴーレースたおすのだ！　 でしたっけ？

[@Obakedake]

This has to be a machine-assisted play through... IE, using save states to backtrack when the king dies. There's no way he could beat it in one go like that otherwise.

[@Toksyuryel]

@Obakedake Or he only uploaded the one where he managed to win.

[@g00dguy23]

By manipulated do you mean hacked. .? Or do you mean that there are ways in this game to legitimately guarantee a favorable outcome?

[@ChevalierAguila]

I'm curious, do japanese players do consider this a bad game? Or is just some rumor thrown by foreign gamers?

[@hirostep0215]

説明書に歌詞があったような…

[@sou999999]

そういえばイタチョコソフトってまだあるんだよね？

[@Hirameki]

上手いなｗ　そして懐かしい 序盤で死ぬならいいけど、後半になるにつれて 生への執着が出てくる 敵と接触する度に拝んでいた記憶が・・ｗ

[@bluelblock]

Just because it was on the NES doesn't give it the excuse to have animation like this. Shoot, plenty of great NES games (and even not-so-great ones) had waaaaay better animation... and were actually fun!

[@Bollard]

I assume "Manipulates luck" means "used savestates".

[@dorikin6969]

すすめ～すすめ～ものども・・・・オゴレス倒すまで

[@reverendragu]

Nah. There's a lot of things wrong with Bokosuka Wars, but the presentation is the most understandable. Famicom games without special memory mapping chips and extra RAM are barely more sophisticated than Colecovision games, and prior to games like Super Mario Bros. upping the ante, they were all pretty sparse. The game itself was ported from very limited eighties PCs, and was a relatively high concept strategy game (but undeveloped and poorly executed) designed and implemented by one guy.

[@Patryk1023]

Can you say, how many rerecords you use?

[@glass16002000]

なんちゅう強運。

[@g00dguy23]

What does "Manipulates luck" mean?

[@三浦学-t9f]

一匹目の敵に、一撃で殺られた時は、速攻で電源切って、違うゲームやったな(；´_ゝ`)

[@LP25962988]

4:56 0.0??

[@raonipaes]

@schtolteheim I hope you're being ironical with that comment... because seriously, I don't see anything clever about this game. I see no puzzles, no combat strategies, no character development, no dialogues....c'mon, tell me what is clever about this game?! And before anyone brags about system limitations, let us not forget that games such as Final Fantasy and Zelda were originally developed for the NES.

[@lovification]

小学生の時にやってた。一回しかクリアしたことないけど、味方をたくさん率いてオゴレスを倒しに行ったなぁー。最後は仲間はみーんな死んで大将の一騎打ちになってやっとこさクリアできた。この人はほとんど一人で。。。これは真似できない。。。

[@skorotam]

進め、進め者ども～ じゃまな敵をけちら～せ～ めざせ敵の城へ～ オゴレス倒すのだ～

[@JessePrower]

The latter.

[@LLLLLLLpify]

記憶が正しければ、素人ゲームコンテストの表彰作。 作者のインタビューをうろ覚えにしている。 でも、ハマった。

[@RalbaElite]

its like a savestate and loadstate nes emulator, save game after succesfull kill/ before killing and loading game state when you'll be defeated. I finished this game with no cheat w/ an escort of 2 yellow armored army. :)

[@chiyodaline06]

運を味方につけ、さらに敵をかわして通過する技術力も超一流。 相当気長でなおかつ頭脳明晰でなければ１人でここまではできないだろう。 まさに「鉄人」と呼ぶにふさわしい。

[@Kojain]

I hope when people bought this game they didn't pay more than $5 for it!

[@rize2763]

終わりあったんや…

[@RyujiSAKURAI]

むしろお前が はちゃめちゃ大進撃だよ！

[@AbbeAbyss]

I LOL'd

[@of-db7sk]

単騎でｸﾘｱしやがった…(汗)

[@374bsbs]

これなんて避けゲー？ｗ

[@本焼き包丁りこちゃん]

このゲ―ム作った人。 面白いと思ったのだろうか

[@Inckman452]

This one should be reviewed by the Angry Video Game Nerd....

[@ambient8872]

液晶ゲームみたいな動きやな…

[@schtolteheim]

@AbbeAbyss If you were as a philosophical mind as you say then you'd have realised that this is a clever game with a few faults and terrible controls.

[@Oscarx2]

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame xD

[@test300000]

cheatだが、敵１人とも戦わないで、オゴレスを倒してほしかった。 それなら交わしをほめたい。 320でも負ける重騎士に１０連勝なんて強さ220スタートでできるわけない。

[@TamuraRanpha]

cheat

[@os3ujziC]

This game is considered to one of the worst games ever.

[@beefyweevil]

That is the worst game I have ever seen.
