A Boy And His Blob Return 39
Press the Buttons noted that one of the games slated for unveiling at this year's E3 is a handheld console remake of A Boy and his Blob. The classic tale of a jellybean eating blob and his nameless boy may be coming for either the DS or the PSP, or both. From the article: "In the company's E3 press release a number of games are listed for the Nintendo DS and Sony PlayStation Portable, one of which is A Boy and His Blob. Which of the two systems the game is for isn't clarified (it could be one or both), but seeing as how Majesco tried to revive the series for the Game Boy Advance several years ago, I'm betting it's for the DS."

"In fact, in the NES version one could skip the underground cavern portion of the game, go into the sewers for the bag of jelly beans that contained the lime bean needed to open a lock guarding the game's final (and only) boss.
I'm gonna have to try that on my ROM.
As a side note, I made it to the alien planet but I never got passed the floating candy canes.

Still, it was announced years back for GBA, and it never happened. So, I'm not going to get too excited until it looks like it'll actually happen this time.

Once you're on Blobolonia, set a hole right on the right edge of the screen, then run towards the hole and turn around before hitting it. If done right, you skid into the hole at the same time you switch screens. You then fall into the 'end game' sequence. You move around on a platform and check out credits and pics and stuff. When I did it all the graphics would be garbled.. it was the only way I ever "finished" the game. I think you need to do this on the secon

Apparently all it takes is having a hole at the left-most edge of a screen and sliding into it from the right. I have the hole on the 3rd screen (day light area) and run in from the left. If anyone wants, I can send them a savestate. Or am I the only one who loves finding bugs in old VGs?

Hey this is still cool, I'm making it pretty far!
Hey look, these controls suck, my guy died because I was a nanometer off to the left!
Hey look, flying enemies that are impossible to dodge! I think I'll keep trying to get past this 500 times and fail each time!
