Tombi

Personally one of my favourite games Tombi one and two are both amazing.

If you have never heard of Tombi before the you are in for a treat. Arriving on the PlayStation one in the UK on September 4th 1998. Whoopee Camp was the developer for these games and they were the only games that they produced but wow did they do a great job. So the basis of Tombi is that you are a young boy with bright pink hair that has had his grandfathers bracelet stolen by the seven Evil Pigs and you have to get it back by defeating them one by one till you beat the last one.
(Just a Koma Pig these are the minions to the Evil pigs)

  The evil pig fights are a tiny part of this game, you will find yourself travelling all across the land to really unique places with lots of different quests, but the places that you are in are not in their original state  they have been cursed by the Evil Pigs so they are alternate versions of what they were and each evil pig is connected to one so when you beat them the place goes back to normal.
(The Mushroom Forest, damn creepy flowers I can still see their faces when I close my eyes)

You can take on a lot of mission at any point and refer back to them in your journal, some you may not be able to finish till you change the land back to what it was which i think is a nice spacing feature so you don't just finish an area and never go back there you travel between places often and you get a feel for which way to go where you think key items might be. The first time through you will miss a lot of things (well I did anyway) because there is so much to do Tombi really is a game I can go back and play over and over again and still find out something new each time.

As far as weapons go there are a few but I'm not going to say how many just in case you play it it's better that its a a secret. But I will say that the base weapon you start with is the Blackjack pictured above, not much to say about it really except it's awesome and not just because its pretty powerful but because you can do something pretty damn cool with it later in the game.

I feel like I'm missing some things but hey this is definitely going to be the first  lets play we do so we will cover everything in that (well most things).

Thanks for reading I'll be back in a day or two for another retro review and Ben should send me his to post soon too and we have another contributor joining so come back soon
