shadow460 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I picked up Burai Fighter Deluxe today. I need instructions for it or any information about it. I'm used to keeping the NES version going so long that I have to stop and take sleep and go-to-work breaks, so getting wasted by some puny little cartridge in under five minutes is rather annoying. Anyone ever play this game on the Game Boy? Got a scan or typed copy of the book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 This thing is killing me just at will. I'm beginning to think either the cartridge is bad or it's incompatible with my color Game Boy. I can't find any information about the game whatsoever--all I get is the NES version.

jboypacman Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hey i remember the name Burai Fighter but for the life of me i cant remember the game itself.Can you give me a quick run down of the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 It depends on which version you played. You control this dude flying through space on a rocket pack wielding a basic gun. Your power up weapons include lasers, wall penetrating rings, and missiles. The NES version featured both side scrolling and top odwn view stages, whereas the DMG version had gobs of hidden rooms, stereo sound, and highly detailed backgrounds. The most notable things about the game are that you don't lose all your weapons when you die, and the bosses: Giganticrab--a big ol green crab (he's green on the Color Game Boy, too) Jawsipede--this dude you gotta shoot the connection points out of, then repeatedly shoot the segments' tails, Fangskull--looks like his name, Torchwing, a big bird who controls volcanic flames and possibly some fireballs, and the Slimedragon--this huge dragon that takes up half the screen. I found out what my problem is: Burai Fighter Deluxe is NOT fully compatible with the Color Game Boy. I picked up a DMG unit today and it plays the game just fine. The Color Game Boy could be used with a Game Shark to play through the stages, then the game saved in order to beat the bosses on a classic Game Boy. It's probably just as good to play through it all on a Classic, though, as long as you've got a good front light. I dunno if it works with any other Game Boys. I'd think it works with the Light and the Pocket, but not with anything above those. It's too bad since the Color does a good job of rendering the game's backgrounds. The NES version is what it is. It's a little better, but it's a little easier, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboypacman Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Sounds pretty good for either system.I dont own a NES or GameBoy but it might be worth picking this one up if i run across it some where cheap.Who was this game published by?Was it the same company that did LowGman and the first NES G.I.Joe game?

ArcadeAction Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I LOVED this game, it was probably the first cartridge game I bought (BuraiFighter Deluxe for the original Gameboy).. it doesn't work on the GBA (original model) too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 So does it not even come up on the GBA, or does it just kill you randomly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboypacman Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I finally played Burai Fighter last night on my friends modded X-Box.It reminds me a little of Forgotten Worlds and it was done by the company i thought that did it.From what i played of it i liked it.Cool.

shadow460 Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Which version did you play? In the NES version, Stage 1 will scroll upward sometimes. In Deluxe, it scrolls backwards, too. Deluxe doesn't have the top down stages either, where you're attacking a base instead of a boss. Its a great game, but the only drawback is that Burai Fighter makes 2600 Adventure look totally flicker-free. Even the word "Pause" fickers on screen while the game's paused!

jboypacman Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I played the NES version.Was the deluxe one the GB version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 GBA is the deluxe version, NES is the original version. A nice sci-fi game but I didn't play it for long because I'm more of RPG player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Fire up an emulator and try 'em both. I dunno if Deluxe will run under MESS or no$gmb, but it's worth a shot. The original runs fine under the NES emulator I had last year. Now that I've got the cart, I don't need the ROM anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcadeAction Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 So does it not even come up on the GBA, or does it just kill you randomly? Sorry for my late reply. The guy is killed randomly, just like you described on the GBC . I can't really remember the massive amount of flickering, but I was quite young back then, so maybe I just didn't want to notice this I will probably buy the NES version too. Does anyone know whether the PAL-version will run on a NES-on-a-chip famiclone with NES-connector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 It's hard to say. I've run the NES version under emulation without trouble. I think one could probably use a Game Shark to eliminate the randomo deaths on the Color Game Boy. Such an effort would be worthwhile, since the game is absolutely beautiful on the CGB screen.

shadow460 Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 If the label is good, get it. It costs $5 around here. It's probably a rarity 2, maybe 3. It doesn't show up everywhere, but if you look around, you'll find it. I found out the other day Burai Fighter Deluxe does indeed work with a Game Boy Pocket.

shadow460 Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Then she'll kill you again for spending the three hours it takes you to play through the whole game in one sitting! Serious, when you get good at it and finally decide to sit down and play it through from Eagle stage 1 to the end of the ultimate challenge, plan three to four hours. I usually spend a lot of time in the Ace level just trying to beat the bosses, especially Jawsipede. He's tough, and unlike Deluxe, he splits in three sections, and the sections do not shrink while you shoot the tails. They take forever to kill. All the bosses except Fangskull are a darn sight more difficult to kill on the NES, and they shoot at you constantly. something else you'll see are that there are two extra stages. they play a lot like Asteroids, except that you can see the background scrolling. You'll figure out how to read the "maps" pretty quickly. In those stages, you need to find a base and shoot the eyes out, just like killing Giganticrab in stage 1. Also, the deadly spinner things have been replaced in most of the stages by other things that are far more difficult to deal with. Last thing to point out is that there are no little star icons. The "keys" to the hidden rooms are invisible, and they're always underneath the Cannonheads. There are two rooms per stage instead of three. One per stage is available in the Ace level, and the rest are available in the Eagle and Albatross levels. I think you can enter the hidden rooms in stage 1, 4, and 7 in the Eagle level, and Stage 2 and 5 in the Albatross. There are no hidden rooms open in the Ultimate Challenge, and no extra life symbols there, either, so you really gotta duke it out there. It's a lotta fun, though, and there's more stuff to it.

shadow460 Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 I also recommend running the game through the AV port. It seems to flicker a lot less than it does when run with RF. My DVD player was able to run the NES's mono output to both channels with no problem at all. I oughta try and post videos here...I just kicked up on the first two bosses in the Ultimate level, and I impressed even me.
