[fxf13]

Played the demo for weeks. This was the shit back then.

[666DeathMetaller666]

[DeckyStrikesBack]

My favorite Net Yaroze game :)

[maccrazyg5]

Had the demo!

[allealle9090]

this game is a hilarious game xD

[TheHorrorchicken]

I remember when I had this on a demo disc as a kiddo! I was always wondering if it was a full version or not :D

As a matter of fact, I should still have it somewhere :o

[AutumnCrusader]

Oh hey, Inky Pinky Blinky and Clyde! =D

Pacman ghosts!

[adamthomas1994]

yay i found it i was wondering why it was never an actual ps1 game thanks ACRetro

[Dandys11]

Is there any link for download iso,etc.???? on PSX????

[Campante10]

I have a Demo with this game, but the only game in it that doesn't work its this game :(

But I played it a lot when it was still working

[domsirloin]

i used to think this was an actual game before i realised wot net yaroze was. i used to have the compilation with all of the games on. gravitation was awsome on 2 player fuckin hilarious game

[ahALEXIUS76]

i loved this at the time...the rainbow guns awesome!! lol

[KakashiFTWHatake]

oh how i remember spening hours and hours playing this! :D

[fdnfdjnedb]

WOHO,Dada

[lostmangos]

did they ever turn blitterboy into a ps game or didnt it get past demo ? i have the demo and thought it was fun

[TheStickKid]

2:51 why does the background music remind me of Adams Family?

[cAmErAmEn66]

Wu Wu cacca, Wu Wu cacca

in italian CACCA is SHIT

[keshihead07]

@cAmErAmEn66 The babies are saying 'Woohoo, dada', not 'caca' :D Dada is baby-talk for 'dad'

[CollisionCat]

I remember playing this as a kitten! =D

My partner just said it looks and sounds like an Amiga game, and I agree! =P

[Rodlunddennis]

woho gaga!

haha the soundeffects brings back so many meories

[JPotential]

I loved this game, so much fun.

[gizmadboy59j]

[RIKIEatHOME]

[lovemcxxx]

[Beholdthecoma]

damn that isometric aiming

[sovietchimp]

Those were the days... And what a great mag too!

[bainaka]

i have this game

still fun

[MyMIXmedia]

Hurry up with the gameplay.

Had to wait 2min before you started.

[AnttiApinaPro]

I freaking loved this game!

[Kosackk]

I played this game so much when i was just 9 years old :D

[chibbydude121]

epic

[killgroup]

I remember this on the demo, was pretty fun. I was only like 9 at the time.

[cjjtheone]

i remember playing the demo aswell and it was a game in itself. i got to level 14 and died. how many levels are there in the demo, let alone the game lol

[Supertuottaja]

This one sure was a stinker... I don't know how this got rewarded yet there were many way better and less annoying Yaroze games than this...

[ACRetro]

I wouldn't quite call it a stinker, it's certainly very polished and in terms of graphics, is very professional.

A 'true' strafe function or a button to freeze character position while firing would've made it significantly better to play. Being killed by the shrapnel of ghosts is a bit annoying, too.

[big10p]

You don't get killed by 'the shrapnel of ghosts'. ;-)

[ACRetro]

I do apologise!

What is it then, that kills me in this video at 3:25?

[big10p]

I thought it was a bug for a moment then I remembered you can press the square button to run, but it uses up energy. You just happened to run out of energy at that point.

[ACRetro]

Bugger me, for all these years I've been wrongly accusing the game of unfair game overs!

[TheStickKid]

@ACRetro It was a coin that looks like a hand that killed you...

...or you just walked back to the circle and aborted the mission.

[suomiusername]

@Supertuottaja Äläs nyt, tämä on miun suosikki net-yaroze peleistä

[katakisLives]

This was a brilliant game I used to spend literally hours playing it, also there was a great yaroze game called haunted maze

[fdnfdjnedb]

and not to forget that really scary game called clone

[frazofthesplits]

Did anyone else also used to get the "mission aborted" message up all the time, for no apparent reason?

[myyamisamasochist]

yea but i found out that it was becoz i was runnin...it lowers ur life if i rememba correctly

[Tw3pwn]

I remember when I had this on demo. That demo was the best it had like 20 games on it.

[jinkazama1988]

I remember this game I've played blitter boy on demo disc when I had 12 and 14 year old

[TheAmvProject]

this, rock's and gems and time slip were the best Net yaroze's in my opinion

[computerman1081]

I remember having this n a demo as a kid.

[ParisInTruth]

@computerman1081 omg me and my sister did too and it was on a demo! how did you get your demo? we miss it and want it back!

[Htbaa]

I remember playing this. Had quite a lot of fun with it :-)

[White1Hunter]

I rember playing this as a kid great fun

[Elintasokas]

Lol me2 xD

[big10p]

BTW, it's 'Monster Mall' not 'Monster Hall'. admittedly the funky font does make it kinda difficult to read. :-)

[ACRetro]

Thanks for the correction. For a decade I've been thinking it was 'hall'!

[csonicp]

Probably my favourite Net Yaroze game. Incredible quality considering it was made by only one person!

[38ex765]

How many levels (mission mode) are there? I only got up to level 4. Or did I get up to level 5? I don't remember stuff.

[chaos32]

looooooooooooooool rainbow death

[chaos32]

This was a 1 of my favourite net yaroze games this, gravitation, psychon (the best!!!), rocks 'n' gems, hover car racing, terra incognita, love the retro homebrew :O)

[wheelerj92]

ure shitting me i used to hace this haaa i swear he used to shoot multi coloured balls?

[tigerboyce]

WOO HOO DADA

[4x4lew]

i got this game on my winter releases 98 demo, is it rare?

[squiglefraq]

i also have it on the winter releases 98 demo, did you get it with spyro?, but yeah i think the version on the demo disk is rare because it is the first un-edeted version without any extra backgrounds

[SnakeGamesPL]

Good old times :)

I have played this game when i didn't had any full-version games :D

[big10p]

Hmm. If there was a cutdown version, it was nothing to do with me. The source code was freely available though, so maybe Sony did a different version, for some reason. Would have been nice if they'd bother to ask me first, though.

And as I mentioned before, there was no music in the original version, anyway. :)

[dalisene]

The version on the Australian '98 Winter Demo disk is different, it doesn't have a menu.. or music (and the level floor doesn't change)

[ACRetro]

It'd be great if you could get a video of it uploaded!

[dalisene]

I'll try to when I get my emulator working :P

[ACRetro]

Excellent, I look forward to that.

Another method, if you've got a DVD recorder, is to record the game being played and rip the video to an AVI/MPEG format, which can be uploaded here.

Saves messing about with emulators, I find.

[cjtquk]

i remember this game, i was rubbish on it though .

[big10p]

Not at all. I'm flattered the game's been posted on YouTube. :-)

[big10p]

Heh - nice to see my old game here. I can't believe it's been 10 years since I wrote it.

BTW, sorry there's no music in it and the some of the sound effects are a bit weird. I'm not so good with sound stuff. ;)

[ACRetro]

Hi Chris, good to see (read?) you on here! Thanks for Blitter Boy, you've got quite a few fans!

Hope you don't mind me using the game for this video.

[rockfanholster]

awesome this game is :)

[mcpaper]

Memories

[gdogg6891]

so true

[lt8653]

this little game was brilliant in its time :)

[gongo3090]

i loved all these games, i always rushed to get the demos just for these games. brings back old memories

[SVWillmer]

I loved the net yaroze games, I only go the demos so I could play them XD

[ACRetro]

They were the highlight of the discs for me, too.

[1CookieMonster92]

how do i get this game?

on ps1?? the full game?

[Shinzetsu]

wtf I remember having an official demo disk with Blitter Boy on it aahahah

[slasherslade]

Yes...

[fr3k3r]

Demo Disc 42...the legend.

[AaronGreen]

"Beat"

"This"

I loved that :D

[Kaikara05]

Aye was an AWESOME demo disc. Had MGS demo + loads of amazing Yaroze games. Quite enjoyed Terra Incognita, though always got stuck at one point on it. The fighter pilot game was also fun, especially the 2 player mode ;-)

[DirectorToby]

OMG mate this game was sooo good. That demo disc had some great games on - liek the 3d pacman, pshyco? Fucking A , good upload

[hokuta777]

Best net yaroze game , equal to Super Bub.

[Cyburn2005]

i have fond memories of this game

[ACRetro]

Me too, although it would've been a lot more fun if the strafe + fire control actually worked.

I believe this game won some sort of Yaroze development award.

[kungfudude]

It did work but not quite how you'd expect. When you hold R2, Blitter Boy fires slightly from side to side rather than straight forward
