20th Anniversary Boogerman Re-Make on Kickstarter

[Joneo]

Though largely overshadowed by the likes of Earthworm Jim, Boogerman was a solid (offbeat as it was) platformer in it's own right.

Anyone here backing the remake?

...or remember the game?

I kinda liked it a little.

Good for one level before you want to throw the controller.

Aero the Acrobat, Boogerman, Bubsy, all those platformers had massive control issues.

Thing is, I have a major platformer tilt. So, maybe solid was the wrong word considering, but I did like the game, coped fine with the controls and thought it had more potential (which they seem to be incorporating into the proposed remake).

Actually... kinda liked Aero too. And Ghost Manor on TG16 which has pretty frustrating controls TBH...

Too bad Boogerman was pure shit in every aspect except graphics and gross humor.

I wanted to like Aero and it's spinoff

I liked playing as Boogerman in Clayfighter on the 64.

I backed, but I'm going to revoke my pledge (it's probably not going to get funded anyway, but that's not the point). I thought I was backing for the whole game, but as it turns out there's an extra game mode you have to pledge more for. It's the co-op mode with Earthworm Jim.

In concept it's essentially the Kickstarter version of on-disc DLC, and it's worse because it's an entire game mode that has been part of the game from conception. So I don't want my money supporting the practice.

honestly who fucking cares.

Nostalgia baiting at its finest

 

[Steve]

World Heroes 3? Hells to the motherfukken yea.
Boogerman? Meh. He was OK, in an OK game.

 

[SonGohan]

Does this game really need a remake?

You mean pure snot. Though it does have toilets.

 

[SNKorSWM]

It's already a third of the way through and not even reaching 10% of the funding levels. Don't see this happening.

Yes, just another nostalgia cash-in attempt. We have already seen in with other games like General Chaos and James Pond. Both of those kickstarter campaigns failed and this will also.

I don't know whose nostalgia they are after, but it isn't one damn person I know. Now Earthworm Jim on the other hand might have a successful kickstarter.

Maybe they should have planned an Earthworm Jim game co-starring Boogerman for the kickstarter instead.

Or remake EWJ & have Boogerman as an unlockable. EWJ obviously has a wider fan base & doesn't have as much to prove.

 

[LoneSage]

EWJ is a classic platformer with western sensibilities.

Boogerman was just a product of the times, those of which are incredibly dated now.

Something of that nature would have worked real well....since y'know....Earthworm Jim wasn't a piece of shit game.

Earthworm Jim 3d on the other hand...

I think this is the highest praise the game ever got.

I would have to agree with you, Boogerman was a very obscure title for the Genesis and for that reason the kickstarter will fail.

Total fail... look at the trailer.. minutes and minutes talking about who will develop the game and their previous experience... and almost nothing about the game itself. No thanks
