BUCKAROO BANZAI IS BACK!
PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CALLING ALL BLUE BLAZE IRREGULARS…
Buckaroo Banzai Adventure Game Coming In Spring 2012 From Adamant
Entertainment
Adamant Entertainment, in association with the Banzai Institute for
Biomedical Engineering and Strategic Information, has entered into a
license agreement by which Adamant will be producing the Buckaroo
Banzai Adventure Game — a training manual for Blue Blaze Irregulars
which uses the format of a tabletop role-playing game in order to
prepare BBI recruits for the sorts of situations in which they may find
themselves while aiding Buckaroo. The training manual will feature
guidelines for taking on the roles of either your own Blue Blaze
Irregular Strike Team, or the roles of Dr. Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong
Kong Cavaliers themselves. Familiarize yourselves with global threats
ranging from Red Lectroids from Planet 10 to Hanoi Xan and the World
Crime League; Learn about the specialized equipment available from the
Banzai Institute, such as the Oscillation Overthruster and the Jet Car;
And begin to embrace the motto of the Blue Blaze Irregulars: “Helping
him to help us.”
“Buckaroo’s on sabbatical in the lamasery in Kathmandu,” said Reno
Nevada, the Banzai Institute’s director of merchandising, and tenor
saxophone for the Hong Kong Cavaliers, “But he’s pleased as punch about
the Adventure Game. We’ve discussed the need for a training manual for
the Blue Blaze Irregulars, outside of Zen & The Art of Motorcycle
Maintenance and The Hagakure. So yeah, Thumbs Up from Buckaroo, and
from us here at the Institute.”
“As a BBI since the release of Docudrama in 1984, I am thrilled to be
working with the Banzai Institute,” said Gareth-Michael Skarka,
director of Adamant Entertainment. “It’s been a dream project of mine,
and I’m honored that Buckaroo has seen fit to give us his blessing.”
The Buckaroo Banzai Adventure Game will ship to game stores worldwide
in Spring 2012, and will feature a cover by acclaimed illustrator Dave
Dorman.
