Gussun Oyoyo / Risky Challenge

This is an interesting-looking series of puzzle platformers - described as a cross between Lemmings and Tetris - which originated from Irem. It originated in the arcades so it's available in MAME for easy accessibility, although apparently the 32-bit console ports are significantly improved.

And here I was hoping this series would be somehow connected to Risky Woods...

i remember an amiga game having a similiar concept which scared me when i was a little kid because the game would go all "GWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" everytime you got a game over but god forbid i can't remember the name....

I found out about Gussun Oyoyo when I was looking for some more puzzle games to play with my husband, and I'm so glad I did. If you haven't played them make sure you do!

For those of you that want to play the games, I've included all the ROMs and ISOs I could find. They're available from my site if you follow that link up there.

For those of you lucky or smart enough to use the Japanese PSN, I can't recommend Gussun Paradise enough.

George has an 8-pack lol. This also looks like a game I'd play sometimes only to find myself quickly frustrated, yet would turn around and play again just because it makes you.

What a delightfully cheery article. And highlights one of those rare cases where us PAL'ies got something over the US-NTSC.

I just realized the captions for Gussun Oyoyo S are reversed. Playstation cover is on the wrong side. I don't suppose somebody can fix that?

So Nintendo made this piece of shit. It sucks and I want my money (which I got simply for logging onto the DSi download service) back, but I can't help but feel it was heavily inspired by Gussun Oyoyo.

From the description of Gusson Oyoyo, I would say it is nothing like it.

But indeed, I took a poke at March of the Minis and was rather put off, and subsequently baffled by its apparent popularity. At the time I was willing to attribute my feelings to being burned out from Mario vs Donkey Kong, which, while not a particularly bad game, hardly holds a candle to the original Donkey Kong '94, mostly due to some highly questionable design decisions.

I've always wanted to import the Super Famicom games for this.

This is even shittier than March of the Minis. You don't interact with the minis at all, you just put blocks in designated places for them to walk over, you also have limited blocks.

Dear god, I'm regretting this purchase more than Megaman X7, and I actually paid for that one.

JOEDIT: I want to make it clear that Gussun Oyoyo looks motherfucking sweet . I'm seriously interested in trying it out as soon as I return to my own computer.

Is it worth mensioning that the ending of the harder second way round(Which is called weirdos paradise) on Yoyos puzzle park the european version is very odd.

The ending is the same but all the text is plain strange with lines such as this
(Little Guy drinking cup on screen)
ppppppppppppppppppppppppp
and
Don,t Be Ryan Gigs (A famous British footballer)
It also said weird alot and gose on about JVC who Localised the game in Europe.
