RE: J.J. & Jeff (TurboGrafx-16)

in #retrogaming7 years ago

I owned this game back when I was deep into the TG16 around 1991 and I have fond memories of it. Its like a bizarre Adventure Island clone, with some crude humor that was censored for the US release (like changing a fart attack into a spray can). Controls were a little stiff, which made the precise platforming the game asks of you really frustrating. I never managed to see the end of this game.

It was really weird, but with a certain intangible charm about it.

Sort:  

It just seemed like an odd release from a marketing perspective. There were a ton of games developed in Japan that you would have thought would be much more successful in the U.S. than J.J. & Jeff.

Definitely. There were versions of Die Hard, Batman and Street Fighter II released on the PC Engine that never got localized. There had to have been a lot of misunderstanding or miscommunication between the NEC offices in Japan and the US branch.
