10/31/2023: Localization News - Dead of the Brain 1!
How does the Turbo Booster Plus' save feature work and does it lose it's saving capabilities over time? I just got one along with a TG-16 from a seller on eBay for $52. He had both of them As Is because he couldn't get them to work (turns out the game was dirty and only needed to be cleaned). So now I have two Turbos, which I wasn't expecting this one to work and a Turbo Plus! I've been trying to get one for years at a reasonable price (did I get a decent deal?). RF begone!

No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. |

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Need some China Warrior tips.
05/03/2009, 03:10 PM
If you guys wouldn't mind, I really need some boss tips for the game China Warrior. The bosses I'm having the most trouble on are the Bruce Lee clones (yeah I know that's not him). Those are the only bosses I can't figure out a pattern where I won't receive damage. The only way I could beat them is if I get to them with enough energy, and I'll exchange hits back and forth. There's got to be a better way to beat them without getting hit.
I also managed to get to the drunken master at 4-3. That was a big surprise haha. Too bad my health is so low by the time I get to him that I don't have enough health to take him out. It's a good thing the jump kick actually works against him but damn I hate that his health replenishes when he drinks. XD
Alright so any game tips would be appreciated.

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Question about a run I’m doing. Video Posted!
03/01/2009, 01:11 AM
Hey guys, as some of you know, I'm trying to attempt to beat Lords of Thunder yet again (I love this game) but this time I'm trying to beat it without using the shop, on Super mode. It's been a real pain in the *** to be honest but I've enjoyed every bit of it. The boss rush mode has been a great help for practicing against the bosses and I want to thank you guys for letting me know about it. Although I still have a tough time against the lady boss from Auzal. I can't think of a quick way to take her out, and by the time I beat her, I've received several hits. The pattern I use isn't very reliable either. So far I've been able to beat about 4 stages but I still need a lot more practice playing on Cielom, Helado and Bosque.
Now here's my question to finish this off. Crystal cap is at 10000 right? Would it really be necessary to grab them, when they don't even increase your high score? Since I'm not using the shop, it's kind of pointless to grab them, because I'm not going to spend them at all. Or should I grab them anyways?
If I do pull this off, it would look more impressive finishing the game at 10000 crystals, grabbing whatever I can throughout the stages, instead of just worrying about dodging projectiles. Eventually when I feel that I can complete this run, I am going to record it, and put it on youtube so show to my friends and you guys too if you want to see it. There's several TG-16 games that I've uploaded on there like my not-hit run on Dragon Spirit and playing Vigilante. This would be one of my biggest gaming accomplishments, well next to what I did in SSBM.
So what do you suggest?

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / A question about Lords of Thunder.

About a few hours ago I finally managed to beat the game on Super mode. Yeah... I'm feeling pretty good right now. Struggled so much to do it but I kept on trying.
Well, I knew how badass this game was from reading some discussions around here and since I don't have a TurboDuo or the CD attachment for the TG-16, I decided to buy the VC version. About a day before the VC release, I read a review that explained that certain armors countered certain stages, similar to Mega Man. When I first got the game I tried them all out and the only one I liked was the Earth Armor. It seemed like it was the strongest one to use if you managed to have it maxed out. So I stuck with it, from normal mode all the way to super, although it was a lot tougher trying to beat it with that armor in that mode. At one point I was tempted to use the Water Armor but I felt I was taking the coward's way by using it. It's not that strong but it covers most of the stage. Wasn't much of a challenge.
So here's the question to you LoT experts, do some armors really benefit when used in certain stages or against bosses? I wouldn't mind learning some more tips because I plan to record a run of it if I get good enough to beating it without dying (died once on my last attempt).
This game flat out rocks, I was blown away the first time I tried it out.

What shmups would you recommend? I just got Cyber-Core, my very first shmup for the TG-16 and I liked it. I rarely play these kinds of games so I want to buy some other ones for this system. I have Raiden for the Atari Jaguar so I wouldn't want to purchase it again unless it was completely different. If you guys can give me a list of games that you enjoyed playing I would really appreciate it.
Oh yeah, Stage 8 on Cyber Core was insane. The game goes from easy to crazy. I lost most of my lives but I managed to evade the blue insects at the end and I beat the game. It was a lot of fun.
