Blaster Burn / ブラスターバーン (MSX2)
Budruga Episode III
(C) 1989, 1990, 1991 Compile
-
NOTES:
- This is episode III of the Budruga saga. Final Justice (1985), Guardic (1986), and Gulkave are episodes I, II and IV respectively. All these games were released for the MSX. While the name Budruga only makes an appearance in Blaster Burn, these games were always meant to be connected story wise (no retcon!).
- The story of Blaster Burn: Its the year 2822. Earth is once again invaded by Gorth. The space battle fighter Final Justice and the air battle fighter Guardic were protecting it, but Gorths attacks were getting more intense day by day. A year later, technology and materials discovered from the remains of the Gorth base left on Earth, were used to create the ultimate anti-Gorth weapon, Guardic II. Guardic II was launched to destroy Gorths homeland planet, Galium.
- You control a female pilot (as showed in Disc Station #14 manual): https://i.imgur.com/bsWHWxC.png
- The story of Randar Burn: Randar, who loves mandarin oranges, bought a whole bunch of them from a fruit stand and ate them, but thought they tasted terrible. He questioned the shopkeeper of the fruit stand about this, and learned that the shopkeeper had been forced to sell them by a giant mandarin orange who was planning to ship terrible mandarin oranges across the universe in an effort to conquer all creation. Burning with rage and a desire to bring back a world where people could eat delicious mandarin oranges, Randar flew off to Planet Orange at the ends of space, where the giant mandarin orange resided.
- BB#5 stage 2 is based on Compiles E.I. game. BB#6 stages are based on Compiles Final Justice and Guardic games (accompanied by their theme songs).
- I took the default player data from BB#8, because it removes the need of farming experience points (Hit) and money (Power) completely, which would otherwise take days to do. BB#8 also has the cheapest shop prices.
- While Randar Burn came out after BB#2, I decided to play it after BB#4, because I wanted the first half of the longplay being played as the Guardic II aircraft, and the other half as Randar.
