Been playing Ms. 'Splosion Man with my two girls. Only 'modern' game I'm playing during this, my retro gaming month

But anyway, I wasn't sure if anyone else caught this, but it's pretty funny IMO. At the very beginning a live action, maybe 10 second intro takes place for Twisted Pixel's in-house 'Beard' game engine. Besides the fact that a dude who's obviously hamming it up looks at the camera at the end and says "Your move, Unreal", which I laughed at, right before that he's typing on what I think is an Atari 800 computer, but that they've taken a ripped strip of paper and scribbled on it 'Beard 2600TM'.

Just thought it was a cute little tie-in to watch out for.

Come on....no one else has played Ms. 'Splosion Man? That in itself is a tragedy....great game. But if you have....am I right, is that an Atari 800??

yeah, I saw the Atari tie-ins. but apparently, this board is all Nintendo people (judging by the polls on this very website).

i love 'Splosion Man.

i love the controls: X to 'Splode. Y to 'Splode. A to 'Splode. B to 'Splode.

@bomberpunk....hah, yea, right. These games are nothing if not true to themselves. No superfluous actions to worry about, it's all about making 'sploding as accessable as possible! LOL I actually remember when Twisted Pixel first announced 'Splosion Man to the press....everyone thought it was an April Fools Day joke. To think that such a concept could make for such a good set of games....who knew?

@Psycho - thanks for confirming....I was pretty sure, but I'm not as into the computer side of things so I wasn't sure. Yea, Twisted Pixel have a knack for cracking me up with their antics (wow, does 'antics' make me sound old or what??). But that intro took the cake....look, a 'Splosion Man reference!
