Pirate Ship Higemaru (1984): What kind of BOMBERMAN is this!? | Capcom Quest #003

Yeah! One more episode finished for Capcom Quest and this time it was Pirate Ship Higemaru! Another very challenging game from the beginning of company!


Although the layout reminded me a lot Bomberman (which was released a year before) there is a game called Pengo from SEGA, which has a similar way to destroying enemies.





The game is very simple but I took too long to understand how everything works. The best strategy is knocking down all the barrels, doing this you will find the invulnerability item and also will decrease the respawn of enemies.





The game has no end, but it seems that level 16 and beyond, the stages start to repeat it selves, just changing the speed or something like that. I watched some walkthroughs on youtube and the last stage they reached was 20!





Dood, look how big was the game board, hahahahahaha. Technology is a wonderful, doesn't it!?





And just to finish, the game's characters were canonized in Street Fighter world... Nice!
