We’re using the word bogus in the headline as titular duo Bill & Ted would, because while this may sound unlikely – well, there really is a Bill & Ted’s Excellent Retro Collection coming to the PS5 and PS4! No, seriously! Retro compilations are enjoying a bit of a boom right now, and this package will bundle together the NES title Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure and the Game Boy release Bill & Ted’s Excellent Game Boy Adventure: A Bogus Journey – both originally published by LJN (!!!) in 1991.
The NES game was an RPG that attracted some awful reviews in the early 90s, while the Game Boy game was more of a platformer that didn’t perform much better. Both titles are, if we’re being honest, garbage. Nevertheless, you’ll be able to pre-order physical copies from Limited Run Games starting 9th June, 2022 – because why not, eh?

LJN games getting remasters. Shoot me now.
@nessisonett It's mental isn't it!?
I love Bill & Ted. I'm not touching this, lol
I used to play a Bill & Ted game on the Atari Lynx. I recall it looking a lot better than either which is probably the one positive I can say about owning a Atari portable.
@get2sammyb What’s next, £50 recreations of Tiger handheld games you’d get out the Coco Pops?
Really pushing the power of the consoles to their fullest there! If enough games get ported to the current generations, does this mean we don't need to worry about buying retro consoles?
Excellent.
One of the main reasons I wanted a PS5 was in anticipation that I'd be able to play ports of 30 year old not particularly good games.
I rented the nes version back in the day when I was a kid. I remember I couldn’t really get that far.
OMG, this was one of the worst AVGN games, I can't believe it haha
LRG the milk it specialists. Lowest effort for highest profit. This even for them seems especially rubbish. Ha
@Stocksy I always thought LRG seemed pretty cool...they have a lot of cool stuff
Ok I guess I may get the digital version. I have the Game Boy version. It is a below average game. Apparently they announced Plumbers Don't Wear Ties as well...
What a great time to be a gamer.
On a more serious note I ordered the Castlevania PS4 from Limited Run Games. From 35$ that is the initial price I ended paying 65€ due to shipping, customs, taxes etc.
Ugh 🤦🏻♂️
Looks like we’re about to be bombarded by retro remasters to add to the poop soup of remakes and regular remasters and quick and easy to make online games were being subjected to. I remember when gaming was completely about looking forward to advance the quality of games, that’s how we got to where we are so quickly. Don’t expect as much going forward these days cos this is the natural progression when you open that door and people support it like it’s ok. Everything’s gets another go and before you know it the amount of new games of really high quality are fewer and fewer
@belmont Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties is that rare thing, comedy which can’t be enjoyed on any levels. Even ironically, it’s just so painfully cringey.
Laughing Joking Numbnuts is making a return
@nessisonett For real. I hate this timeline.
Eh, its limited run. More of a high risk/reward investment than a game purchase. I doubt many limited run games even get opened by the buyers.
This is like Morbius coming back to theaters lol
If the games are trash, why do this?
@PlayStationGamer3919
I also want Jaws and Nightmare on Elm Street from LJN.
@PlayStationGamer3919 I’d buy Friday the 13th. When I was but a boy, it was the “scary game” on the NES for me. I had more fun with the game than most. It took me nearly 10-15 years of practice to beat it too…
Out of all the classic games that could have gotten a re-release...why these lol
The only reason why I even knew these games existed was because of AVGN lmao
I loved the films, won't be bothering with this game.
Somewhere the Angry Video Game Nerd is howling in pain knowing he can never be rid of these terrible games.
um the movie was so awesome i didn't know about this game 🤣 i know how the street fighter movie faired i suppose the same was for this game.
I love this series, but not that much
Ooohhh! Maybe we'll finally get Potty Pidgeon!
Virgin Switch publishers: opt for mandatory downloads to squeeze their releases on as small a card as possible.
Chad LRG: issues Blu-rays with a NES game and a Game Boy game thereon.
I guess they run out of games for the launch window / stream. If this is the route they are going, with nes games, they should really go after the rare ones. Like Bubble Bath Babes or Wacky races from Atlus.
Meanwhile Metal Gear Solid 4 fails to get a port beyond the PS3...
Dressing that monstrosity up as a physical release and expecting us to acknowledge as PS5 truly is generation swapping gone insane. Only in these times ..
I hope this is a $2.99 releasse...
