Blade Buster

Post by eatdogs »

Who's played this nes home brew? It looks fun and reminds me of Recca and Star Force. Are there really only two time attack options and not a full game?

I've played it a lot. Yes it only has the time-attack modes. It's really really good fun, one of my favorite FC games.

Sweet. I'll have to get a copy of it. I think the nes dump has it.

It does; I imagine it's not difficult to track down a repro cart.

I was asking because MESS is fairly open about these things when it comes to the software lists.

Given the evidence, that it works on real hardware, is available from the authors page for free, and there are repro carts etc. then it should probably be added to our support lists :-) (works on real hardware was the important one tho)

There's already a thread on this.

Still, probably one of the best caravan games.
