youki Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 On picture, i don't see the "PANG" version? Does the Rom on the Buster Bros version displays Pang as title or Buster Bros? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapahute Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Not sure, but I think there is only one rom with the Pang title. Only boxes and labels differ. BTW, great picture, thanks for showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youki Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I thought Bfg said me that a "Buster Bros" version with modified title image was planned. As far i'm concerned, i have only made the "PANG" title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoDan Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Just so you all know,"Buster Bros" and "PANG" roms are identical I can't believe you guys went through all the extra work to create different boxes and instructions and didn't have the developer do the easy part of changing the title on the rom.

youki Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Sometimes it is not so "easy" because a "PANG" image does not have the same size than a "Buster Bros" image. and as you are very limited with rom space... it can be very tricky to get right image!

Good point didn't think that there may have been a reason that they couldn't do it. I always forget that there are constraints from the olden times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youki Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 In case of Pang / Buster Bros, we could do it. And as far i know it was plan. I don't know why it is not done. Only J-F has the answer i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 In case of Pang / Buster Bros, we could do it. And as far i know it was plan. I don't know why it is not done. Only J-F has the answer i guess. It was probably done to confuse the hell out of people who purchase the game second or third hand some 10-20 years from now via eBay or other means. They'll buy the U.S. style box with Buster Bros. on it and then play the game and Pang will be displayed on the title screen. Thinking that they got screwed by another eBay seller, they will leave negative feedback and file a complaint thru eBay Buyer Protection. I guess all this new buyer will have to do is compare the pics of the game on the box and manual with what they are seeing on their ColecoVisions... but that would be asking way too much especially since 20 years into the future everything will be done for us including wiping our own asses. Man, to think, all the terrible hassle could have been avoided if only the title screen for the U.S. style release was changed! Ah, to hell with it, the world will be ending soon enough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

65Gamerguy Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I received my games today! I wish I could afford more but I am having to save some back in order to afford some of Pixelboys upcoming games. Why couldn't I have hit the $500 million lottery?

goldenegg Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I was pleasantly surprised to find my games delivered when I came home this evening. Unfortunately, I won't have time to try them until the weekend. Definitely looking forward to trying them out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
