additional information
info 0.68 [David Haywood]

0.67 [R. Belmont, Phil Stroffolino, Acho A. Tang]

WIP:
  • 0.68: David Haywood added Violent Storm (Europe ver EAB). Renamed (viostorm) to (viostrmu).
  • 2nd May 2003: David Haywood added another version of Violent Storm to the Mystic Warriors driver.
  • 0.67: Added Violent Storm (US ver UAB) (Konami 1993) and clones (Japan ver JAC) and (Asia ver AAC).
  • 15th May 2002: Guru - R. Belmont loan his Violent Storm and Mystic Warriors PCBs.
  • 30th March 2003: R. Belmont enabled the shadows in Konami System GX driver and tilemap alpha blending in the Mystic Warriors driver. David Haywood fixed flickering sprites in Metamorphic Force, graphics layer offsets in several games in both the Mystic Warriors and Konami System GX drivers. Acho A. Tang added the infrastructure support for 3 independent colored shadows/highlights as required by the Konami games, and he cracked the protection in Violent Storm. The improvements also allow Twinbee Yahhoo to be fully playable now.
  • 12th March 2003: R. Belmont sent in an update to the Mystic Warriors driver, making Metamorphic Force playable with some graphics glitches, and making Violent Storm work somewhat but it still suffers from unemulated protection. Additionally, Ultimate Battler Dadandarn! worked already in yesterday's update but has major graphics glitches. Brian Troha and Guru fixed some ROM names in the Mystic Warriors driver.
  • 11th March 2003: R. Belmont sent in a driver for Mystic Warriors hardware games supporting Mystic Warriors and Gaiapolis.
  • 15th May 2002: Guru - Thanks to R. Belmont for a loan of his Violent Storm PCB.
LEVELS: 7 (must be finished twice)

Features awesome color-filled graphics, a kickin' vocal soundtrack and cool sound effects, lots of vicious moves (especially those from Boris!), a great sense of humor & plenty of great looking enemies & bosses. Break out fighting, everybody come on! :)

- TRIVIA -


The 4 stage boss is actually disguised as a Power Loader seen in the 'Aliens' movie and the Konami title of the same name!


At the middle of the last stage, two cabinets of "Penta" and "Scramble" make an appearance (Note that "Penta" is originally a bootleg of "Pengo" :).


One of the bonus point items is a "Twinbee" doll.


King Records released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Konami Amusement Sounds '94 Spring - KICA-7631, 7632) on 23/02/1994.


- UPDATES -


The US version is slightly different, it has the "Winners Don't Use Drugs" screen.


- TIPS AND TRICKS -


* Some Tips : keep an eye out for unusual weapons, smash the light bulbs in the 2nd stage to temporary blind your enemies ! Also grab the piggies in this stage and they turn into footballs that you can use as projectiles ! (now you know where the term 'pigskin' comes from !) :)
