And Now for Something Completely SunA

Philko Corporation, Viccom, Semicom, MEGA, Topia, Joymax, Eolith, Mantra and Comad are all examples of South Korean video game companies.

But there is none more infamous than...

Catalogue may be sparse, but five in particular more than took the piss.

By the time I'm done - your eyes (and possibly mouth) will be wide open.

Rough Ranger (1988)

Apart from new stages and different enemies, all shameless re-skin of Namco's Rolling Thunder did was include co-op play and map.

And fire bird enemy is lifted straight from Gradius spin-off Salamander.

Back Street Soccer (1996)

Data East's Street Hoop was released for the Neo Geo in 1994.

Guess what?

And just for Super Sidekicks.

Now that's attention to detail.

Even though this is street football, check out end credits.

Diego Maradona, Jürgen Klinsmann and Roberto Baggio

Oh yeah.

Mexico belts out Circle of Life's Zulu opening line from The Lion King.

Ignoring unauthorised use, we're in South America, NOT Africa.

But try telling background that.

Elephants and ostriches are native to Africa, and kangaroos run riot in Australia.

HILARIOUS.

Spark Man (1989)

Crazy run-and-gun thing is essentially Green Beret.

For some reason, God's hand (from Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam) scratches nose of metal plated female.

Exactly what you'd expect.

So apart from name, what else do we know about titular hero?

Natinality: R.O.K
Father: Electroman
Mother: Fire Lady
Sex: ♀️ ♂️

Okay, male glyph's arrow should be pointing diagonally right, but confirmation that protagonist is a hermaphrodite is possibly a video game first.

AT-ST Walker and Jabba the Hutt

Wait a Jedi, legs and feet of giant slug's walking platform look familiar.

Strider (Arcade)
Ouroboros is born by the merging of 24 Kazakh officers.

As game progresses, face bears all (albeit with different colour palette).

It's only one of Hajime Sorayama's Gynoids.

Shit doesn't end there.

Madonna album True Blue randomly crops up.

WHY?

For fifth boss encounter, game suddenly turns into Cabal.

Scenario is repeated in Stage 8.

Best of Best (1994)

Trust me, this game is horrific and 'unmanly'.

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story

Arnold Schwarzenegger with blue hair.

Mind. Blown.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (in animated form).

It's so fucking wacky - it's brilliant.

Each character ripped off something, and I've selected the worst.

Alli vs Todo (Art of Fighting)

Hawk vs Muscle Power (World Heroes) and Hulk Hogan

The following are literally modelled on Sorayama girls.

Shalin vs Pin-up 56

Silver-haired temptress isn't playable and copies Pin-up 11.

Remember this.  Never forget this.

The battle is not always to the strong.

Ultra Balloon (1996)

This game is off its FUCKING ROCKER.

Buck-toothed baby bouncing on a ball inside tropical aquarium means absolutely nothing.

Let's do this.

One summer night, as a cloud of mystery hung low over the Robinson household.
Uniqud things were happening in the baby's room.
The usally peaceful realm of the toy world was about to be shattered....

Does story head in a logical direction?

I think you already know the answer.

In space (where nobody will hear you scream), a demented bimbo pops up behind a jolly giant (who may or not be her father).

Happiness turns to terror, as a huge blue demon kidnaps the princess.

Infant rolls up rescuing sleeves.

Well you'd think so, but we don't actually play him.

Instead.

Vicious drug trip puts us in control of bubble blowing Parodius-like penguins.

Who can also fart.

I have no words.

And yeah, it's the most bizarre Bubble Bobble clone in existence.

Miscellany

Time bonus is a bucket of 'UFO'.

It's finger lickin' fucked up.

I'm not even sure why this happens, but whatever.

Head vs Dracula's final form (Vampire Killer)

Come on guys, tell me I'm wrong?

During sixth stage, check out cuddly teddy.

Generic plush or Simba as a young cub?

Seriously?

Hey asshole, you can hardly talk.

Pardon?

Err, Kimba the White Lion?

(Sheepish smile).

Exactly.

Bosses

Story 1
A female 'bottom' vomiting eyeballs gets a thumbs up from me. 

Story 2
Loch Ness-esque dragon is relatively normal.
Booooo!!!!!

Story 3
Cat creature with diving mask displaying 'Clone' is either a sick joke or intentional irony.

If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain.

Do you know which philosopher said that?

Dolly Parton.  And people say she's just a big pair of tits.

Which brings me to:

Can't give a specific example, but lady in question appears to be lifted from the works of Satoshi Urushihara.

Story 4
Neck shy toadstool freak is wearing harem pants.

HA HA HA!

Story 5 is another sprite 'alteration'.

Pterodactyl vs Diet Go Go (Arcade)

Story 6
Man-eating plant emerges from Jack-in-the-box.

Story 7
Forget about GoinDol cavemen, it's all about Gundam.

End boss is an embarrassment.

But surely epic battle with antagonist compensates?

No.  He just explodes.

What a fucking cop out.

Well, finally you have saved the princess and found the peace for the Toy Kingdom.
Now, the Toy Kingdom in Robin's household is back to the way which it used to be...
Congratulations !!!

Need a drink?

Don't blame yer', but me first (you bastards).
