A reader (and a fan) requested that we should write about Whoopee Camp´s old platform/action game series “Tombi 1 and 2″ (Tombi! in North America).

So I decided to do exactly that. But honestly, i have only played the first game a bit (that´s also the only game that i have written about as well).

Because when Tombi! 2 (Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return) was released In EU (In the summer of year 2000). I was way to busy with games such as Diablo 2, Deus Ex and Baldur’s Gate II (to name a few).

So I didn´t even notice that Tombi 2 had been released. That´s also why i missed out on that game. And just to make things even worse.

The makers of the Tombi series (Whoopee Camp), went bankrupt shortly after the release of Tombi 2.

That’s probably why most people haven’t even heard about the Tombi series In the first place.

And It´s kind of sad really, because Tombi 1 and 2 ain´t half that bad. The original games are rather expesive nowadays though, so i´ll just buy Tombi 1 and 2 via PSN instead (as soon as i own a PS3 or a PS4).
