If you think Angry Birds was the only game where green pigs get blasted, then you should forgive yourself for being unaware about Butasan, a forgotten game that was conceived in 1987 as Jaleco's answer to Bomberman.
Butasan is a game about pigs blasting each other with bombs. In the game, the player's pig has to blast opponent pigs of various colors, including green pigs and light green pigs.
For those who do not get the title of this comic, the title of the comic and the explosion in the last panel are references to the manga and anime "Btooom!!!!!"
Butasan was also released internationally as Psycho Pigs UXB, yet nobody outside Japan played the original arcade version until it was released in 2015 through Arcade Archives under its original name. The sequel, Tatakae Butasan, or Psycho Pigs was released on the 3DS in 2015.
In addition, the pig from Butasan made cameos in several Game Tengoku games, Bases Loaded 2016 and other lesser known Jaleco titles. Other than that, Butasan would be considered as one of those underrated games that were overlooked.
