Welcome! Play all the Ys immediately.

I intend to when I get the time to devote to an RPG, but I wonder if I'd be better off with Ys I & II Chronicles instead. I know Ys I & II won a ton of awards in the day, but I do wonder if it has any issues which could dampen enjoyment today. Plus, you know, the cost of it all.

Welcome Aboard!

Play some Monster Lair, Dragon's Curse, and Bomberman '94. 

Those are high on my list. I'm not crazy about the changes in Dynastic Hero, but the color boost is nice, especially on games like Bomberman '94. Mega Bomberman looks so drab and dingy by comparison. I know the PCE Chiki Chiki Boys is 2-player, too, which is a nice bonus!

Thanks to everyone!

My name is Ben, and I'm a long time listener, first time caller. I've always been curious about the TG-16, but money being what it was, I could never afford to pick one up. I'd play the display at Toys R Us a bit, but that was that. Keith Courage and a bit of Legendary Axe.

I've always been fascinated by Keith Courage since VG&CE did a spread on the game. I know it's not much of a system seller today, but it, Ninja Spirit, and Neutopia are what I generally think about when I think TG-16. Long long ago on r.g.v.sega, I was advised to get a Duo-R if and when I decided it was time for another money pit... and 15+ years later, here I am! I just picked up a Duo-R with a 6-button Duo-RX pad really cheap -- far, far cheaper than I would have expected possible these days -- and have been burning away CDs to play. I actually already have a small collection of PC Engine games I've been lugging around for ages now, so it's been nice to finally be able to play them, too.

Anyway, I'm still primarily a Sega fan and have posted on and wrote some stuff for Sega-16 for a long time now, but I have a good few systems and games, even after selling off a good bit (and promptly regretting it... prices these days... yeesh...). I primarily enjoy platformers, action/arcade stuff, and shoot-em ups. Right now I'm finally going through my Dynastic Hero as I've always big a big Monster World fan, and I've already went through Bomberman '93 and Bonk's Adventure. I've been using this site to look for games which would appeal to me and figured I'd register all the same.

-  Does anyone have a weird obsession over Robo Pit?  I do.
-  When you get tired of the great SF Alpha 2, treat your friends to the much shittier SF: The Movie.  If you really want them to hate you, turn Criticom on.
- Blast Chamber is an unliked game, but it shouldn't be.  4 player is a...  blast.

Count me in on the above fandom. Robo Pit does have one of the worst soundtracks around, and the gameplay is nothing special, but I still enjoy the game and robots that you can build. When my Saturn memory cartridge died, losing my Robo Pit saves was one of the things which hit me hardest (next to my Daytona/Rally runs and my SimCity 2000 cities).

Blast Chamber, too, is a great party game, and SF: The Movie is good playing SF game despite its reputation. Next to Saturn Bomberman, Blast Chamber was one of the top games requested, even if it's just a giant shoving match.
