RE: Beetlejuice!  Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! – Today in History – May 7th, 1991

I can't find any details on the engine they licensed, but based on a few textures (the ground rocks, especially), the switches from sidescrolling to top-down dungeons, and the entrances to shops, it makes me guess Rygar. What do you think, plausible?

    I have never really looked into it but after you mentioned it, I do see a strong resemblance to Rygar. Not sure if it was the same engine or just the same developers. Lol

      There's something about engine (or graphic) reuse on classic consoles that just pops out to me. Maybe it's because I didn't really consciously realize it was a thing back in the day or maybe because it stands out a little more on those systems, but it amuses me. Here's a couple that I think are right

      • Metroid ⟷ Kid Icarus
      • Blaster Master ⟷ Fester's Quest ( I suspect lots of licensed titles might reuse engines)
      • River City Ransom ⟷ Nintendo World Cup (just looked this up, and apparently it's because they're from a series

        Yeah, Fester's Quest and Blaster Master use the same engine, at least the overhead portions of Fester's Quest did.

        I did not know that about River City Ransom and Nintendo World Cup.
