A humorous Retrospect Review of the 1989 Arcade Classic beat’em up, DJ Boy. Reviewed by FLitz
GAME: DJ BOY DVELOPER: Kaneko YEAR(s): 1989 - 1990 1-2 Players
DJ Boy, a classic arcade game that doesn’t take its self too seriously. Developed by Kankeo, co-published by Sammy. A home version was released on the Sega Genesis, with a plot added involving a rollerskating fight race and the kidnapping of DJ Boy’s girlfriend, Maria. There were added power ups and in game changes due to racial sensitivity issues of the games arcade counter part. The arcade version revolves around two Hip-Hop homies, Bob and Tom (Players 1 and 2). They’re radio is stolen and they chase the hoodlums down to get it back.
I don’t exactly remember if it was a call or IM from Flitz that day of E3 but I do remember what was said. I could have sworn Flitz had just changed his pants three times as he got the chance to interview one of his favorite comic creators, Joe Madureira. Those unfamiliar with the name have to be born with half a brain or have been beaten to half a brain. Joe “Mad” Madureira is known for his work during the 90’s on Uncanny X-Men and Age of Apocalypse. The comic creator turned game developer has taken his art skills and applied them to the upcoming action title Darksiders.
Darksiders is loosely based off the Book of Revelation and the events surrounding the apocalypse. As one of the four horsemen, War, you travel the wrecked Earth as you find out that you are on the losing side of the end all be all battle of Good versus Evil. As War you are not on either side fighting for Heaven or Hell but instead much like the comic character Spawn you are stuck in the middle of the conflict bringing your own sense of cosmic judgment on both angels and demons. The game is enjoyable from hands on playing at Comic Con. If Kratos got Zelda pregnant, the child would be this game. Mixing the brutal combat elements that would be familiar to fans of God of War and the puzzle solving nature of the Zelda series Darksiders mixes together a concoction that would satisfy any gamer.
Flitz with the help of Zach Starr of NFamousgamers talk to “Joe Mad” about the differences between comics and games, his role throughout development, and his work on Marvel Comics’ The Ultimates 3. Want to see more from Joe Madureira? Run down to your local comic shop and pick up The Ultimates 3. The art alone makes it a pick up!
