Pang vs. Buster Bros.

[Cybergoth]

Hi there!

 

So, were these games created by Capcom and licensed to Mitchell or vice-versa?

 

Neither the KLOV, Wikipedia nor Mobygames do properly resolve that mystery.

 

Greetings,

That game is also know as Pomping World as well.

Originally created by Mitchell, licensed to Capcom.

Yes, that's my understanding as well. The Buster Bros. games were so strongly associated with Capcom that it's hard to believe that they were developed by anyone else... it's kind of like how everyone thought that Sega created Frogger when it was really Konami.

 

Fun fact... Mitchell created Puzz Loop, which was quickly hijacked by Popcap Games and transformed into Zuma. Also, Mitchell was a really terrible cop movie starring Joe Don Baker.

Interesting, but it makes sense. So Mitchells Pang games are the Japanese originals and Capcom released them as Buster Bros. in the western world.

Fun games my Aunt Julie used to play the SNES version all time and see was good at it too! I want to try the PCE version myself sometime.

Yay, I got some facts right for once.
