Let's talk about Mr. Bones

Mr bones was a very unusual game that came out on the saturn. It was essentially a bunch of really bizarre mini games centered around this skeleton guy and blues. It was really fucking hard but unique in a way.

Your thoughts?

I purchased the game years ago just by chance (saw it for cheap) and also enjoyed it. It's so very strange, but had a good sense of humor.

The first stage was a terrible idea, though, as it doesn't represent the rest of the game. An FMV background (Saturn quality) with sprites running around over it? Not good...

FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
I almost bought this 2 days ago. I didn't. But I like these types of games. I own Incredible Crisis. Those are my thoughts.

You should get it, if not for the fact that its just something off the wall. One of the final stages has you telling jokes.

Bought this quite a while ago and I love it. The soundtrack is brilliant and the game is a lot of fun. My favorite song from the soundtrack is Icy Lake. So damn hillarious, great level too. Definitely pick it up Musashi. It's very unique.

Best song in the whole damn game! I think I am actually going to play this later today. Time to take out the Saturn.

Yeah, it was an interesting game. I bought in on clearance for $10 and wasn't disappointed, but if I had spent full price for it I might have been. Some of the levels just didn't work, but the whole thing was just trippy enough to make the effort to play it worthwhile. Segasoft did some rather oddball stuff on the Saturn. Ever played SCUD? Like Mr. Bones it was a strange mismash of ideas that didn't quite work, but I felt compelled to play it for some reason.

Man, I wish I had a Saturn...this game sounds cool, I only remember hearing about the title before but never paid much attention to it...and that song is awesome. :D
