Electronic Super Joy vs Johnny Bazookatone

Electronic Super Joy thrusts you into a neon‑lit world where pulse‑pounding electronic music drives every jump, smash and flight. With low‑gravity physics, rotating worlds, giant monsters and swarming missiles, each of the 45+ wildly different levels tests reflexes and timing to the limit. The story follows a hero stripped of limbs by the Disco Wars, the War of Rock ’n Roll and the villainous Groove Wizard, delivering a tongue‑in‑cheek narrative that matches the game’s relentless, fast‑paced action. Perfect for players who crave a hardcore platforming challenge set to an electrifying soundtrack.

Johnny Bazookatone is a 3D side‑scrolling platformer where the rock‑star hero is trapped in the year 2050 by the jealous underworld lord El Diablo. Stripped of his iconic guitar Anita, Johnny must navigate treacherous prison corridors, solve musical puzzles, and defeat themed foes to escape and reunite with his instrument. The game blends action, puzzle solving, and rhythm‑themed combat in a retro‑styled world, offering a single‑player experience that captures the flamboyant spirit of an Elvis‑like guitarist with a purple pompadour. Developed by Arc Developments and published by U.S. Gold, it launched in early 1996 and received mixed reviews.
