| Raid on Bungling Bay 1985, HudsonSoft, Famicom/NES |
Raid on Bungeling Bay (バンゲリングベイ lit.: Bungeling Bay) is a shoot 'em up video game developed by Will Wright and published by Broderbund for the Commodore 64 in 1984. It was the first video game designed by Will Wright. The Commodore 64 version was published in the UK by Ariolasoft. The game inspired Wright to develop SimCity in 1989 (!!!). So yeah, this was Will Wright's first commercial release.
The player commandeers a Helicopter over a (quite Sim-City-Like) landscape shooting enemies out of the skies. This was the game that inspired Will Wright to make Sim City, which to me is a total classic. On the Sup 400-in-1 the fact this is caled "Bungeling Bay" and they Bungled up the title on the 400-in-1 so much (Raid O' Bungelinghy! Sounds like a Dime Store clone of Jazz Jackrabbit to me!), is utterly hilarious.My Experiences - Bungelinghy needs a Bungle-dinghy Videos Other Stuff |
