Following on from the post about the rare PV1000 game being dumped we have saw another rare Japanese console / computer game dumped. This time it’s one for the Tomy Pyuuta system, an early ’16-bit’ machine.
The Pyuuta games while not graphically spectacular or ambitious do seem to offer some fast paced arcade-like gameplay, and this one is no exception.
The game in question is “Bermuda Triangle”
Despite the initial appearance (what looks to be a massively oversized ship at the bottom of the screen) it has no connection with the much later arcade title released by SNK. This is a fast and challenging wave based shoot / dodge game.
This one was also rather costly, with most of it being paid for by MooglyGuy this time around.
Actually, it matches the USA release “Torpedo Terror” dumped ages ago :) Same for the recently dumped Maze Patrol that matches the old dump of USA “Cave Crawlers”. Of course, verifications are always nice, but it’s not really a new dump.
ah, so it is, it was presented as a completely undumped game, but yeah, the verification helps, this definitely came from a Japanese cartridge.
I guess standard policy would be to collapse it into a single entry instead, with both names listed.
