Whoopee Camp was a video game developer started in 1997.
They had hoped to make innovations in the gaming world but only made two games: Ore! Tomba in Japan, Tomba! in North America, Tombi! in Europe in 1997, and Tomba! The Wild Adventures in Japan, Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return in North America, Tombi! 2 in Europe in 1999. Tomba! is a game about a child of the same name with pink hair and green shorts that has to get his grandfather's bracelet back from the evil pigs invading an uncharted continent, while Tomba! 2 was about a completely different group of evil pigs (aside from the leader, the last evil pig) kidnapping Tomba's childhood friend Tabby and trying to take over the continent where Tabby lives on.
Both games were critically well received but in the long run, they both sold poorly mainly due to very low avaibility of the game in stores and as a result never attained Greatest Hits/Platinum status. Today, both Tomba! games are very rare and sold at high prices.
Whoopee Camp split and the staff went to work for other companies shortly after the release of Tomba! 2 (with most of them going to Access Games).
Famous quotes containing the word camp:
“When the weather is bad as it was yesterday, everybody, almost everybody, feels cross and gloomy. Our thin linen tents—about like a fish seine, the deep mud, the irregular mails, the never to-be-seen paymasters, and “the rest of mankind,” are growled about in “old-soldier” style. But a fine day like today has turned out brightens and cheers us all. We people in camp are merely big children, wayward and changeable.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
