anyone find any new 2d hop and bop platformers

[Zing]

If you can still tolerate NES games, games like Ducktales, Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers, and Little Nemo are some of the best.

I haven't played the Genny version of Land of Illusion, but the 8-bit version is a splendid little game. It might be a bit short, actually, but trying to track down the stars hidden throughout the levels adds some replay value.

thanks for the info,

hmmmn anyone else know for sure?

Ackman, did you come up with the term "Hop and Bop"? I love it, it's a great name for a great genre. I think you've coined a winner, and I gave five flags for it.

I didn't really start to embrace this genre of games until a few years back. Now that I've got my Xbox with emulators and tons of games, I'm discovering all sorts of gems.

How about...

The New Zealand Story (MAME, multiple)
Psycho Fox (SMS)
Bio Miracle Bokkute Upa (FDS)
Yume Penguin Monogatari (Famicom)
Rayman (Jaguar, multiple)
Little Nemo the Dream Master (NES)
The Jungle Book (NES)

Also, people seem love Zool 2, though I never cared for it. And I've never tried Bubsy, is that any good?

Try some of those. They're not new, but maybe new to you.

Thanks very much k8track

Nah I'm sure I've read it on the DP somewhere before by someone with huge rep.

Yeah I just can't get enough of Donkey Kong Country 2, it's like crack, I've never tired of it thus the hop and bop, I've always liked platformers goes back to the arcade and NES days.

How about

The New Zealand Story (MAME, multiple) okay
Psycho Fox (SMS) brilliant
Bio Miracle Bokkute Upa (FDS) ?
Yume Penguin Monogatari (Famicom) ?
Rayman (Jaguar, multiple) (sort of played it not enough to give a fair judgement, seems good)
Little Nemo the Dream Master (NES) nice
The Jungle Book (NES) (played the genny version it was alright)

Also, people seem love Zool 2, though I never cared for it. And I've never tried Bubsy, is that any good?

didn't like zool and bubsy is okay it was good for it's time I guess

I'll give you a list of some my Favs:

Penguin Brothers Arcade (love it!) and it has 2 player VS
Hammering Harry Arcade (cool)
Sonic 2 ( I love this to death and I play the first two Acts over and over again, something about the chemical zone *crack*)
Eswat (arcade) doesn't count I guess
Tiny Toons NES
Marvel Land Genny
MR Nuts SNES (even though it is pretty bad I liked it for some reason and I finished it :P )
ACKMAN GAMES SNES 1,2,3
Run Saber SNES
Shinobi games

Cheers and keep well, stay frosty.

If you haven't done so already, and you like platformers, why not check out QWAK?

Another NES gem of the genre that is little spoken of is Felix the Cat. There is nothing you haven't seen before from the genre, but it's quite the fun little Mario rip-off.

Also, if you are a commodore fan, the Great Giana Sisters is a must.

I tried that Turtrix demo too from the same devloper and it's very good I must try and procure these games someday very soon.

The odds are quite likely that Turtrix will also soon turn up as a free download from the same site.

I think it already was , yeah 19 dollars seems a bit pricey for a shareware game, but it seems quite decent.

Mega Drive:
Pochontas
Pinochio
Marvelland
Misadventures of Flink, pretty damn good
Dashing desperados (awesome 2 player VS like sonic 2 kinda)
