Item Description

Tomba, known as Tombi in Europe, is one of the most celebrated cult classics of the PlayStation era, a side-scrolling action-adventure that blended platforming, puzzle-solving and RPG-style quest structures in a way that felt unlike anything else on the console. It was developed by Whoopee Camp, the studio Tokuro Fujiwara founded after 13 years at Capcom, where he directed Ghosts 'n Goblins and was a main producer on the Mega Man series. Fujiwara directed and produced Tomba himself, and Sony Computer Entertainment brought it to North America in 1998. The game follows a wild, pink-haired boy on a mission to recover his grandfather's stolen bracelet from the Koma Pigs, a hunt that leads him to the Seven Evil Pigs they serve.

What made Tomba so special was how it trusted the player. Progress isn't linear: it unfolds organically as Tomba discovers new areas, gains new abilities and pieces together 130 interlocking events, quests that earn Adventure Points and gradually open up the world. Most of the action is side-scrolling, with some areas explored from an isometric view, and the world is rich with secrets that reward curiosity in ways that felt ahead of their time. Even the combat has personality: Tomba's signature move is leaping onto an enemy's back, biting down and flinging it away, and he picks up weapons such as flails and boomerangs as the world widens. Hunting down the Seven Evil Pigs means first finding the magic bags that lead him to their hideouts, so every new discovery feels like a step toward the next showdown.

Its vibrant look, colorful 2D character sprites set against 3D polygonal environments, gives the game a storybook warmth that still holds up today, and Harumi Fujita, Fujiwara's longtime collaborator from his Capcom days, matches that energy with a cheerful, adventurous soundtrack. Whoopee Camp followed it with Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return in 1999, but this first adventure is where the pink-haired wild boy began, and it's the kind of game that grabs players early and doesn't let go until they've seen every corner of its world.

About the game

Tomba! is a side-scrolling platformer in which players control Tomba, a wild boy on the search for his grandfather's bangle that was stolen by some evil pigs. Although Tomba is normally restricted to a two-dimensional plane, there are certain points where he can jump or climb onto a new plane. Tomba's main method of attack is to jump on top of enemies to grab them, allowing him to hop around on them before throwing them away. This can also be used to open other objects such as eggs or treasure chests. Tomba is also able to use various projectile weapons such as maces and boomerangs and can swing on branches and poles. The game is based around a mission system, where the main character's (Tomba's) skills are employed to complete various tasks. Completion of a mission gives a certain amount of adventure points (AP) which are required for AP boxes which contain food (which gives you AP and restores 1 space of vitality) or items, and you may for example need 50,000 AP to open one. AP is also used to gain access to special places or information later in the game. Not all missions are necessary to progress in the game, however, they are required to achieve full completion.
