I have been playing the express a lot lately, just wondering what games you consider to be gooooood and what games you would not play on it (the bad)
For me Chew-Man-Fu i really enjoy playing on the express. Games i dont recommend would be Bloody Wolf, man its like your shooting needles at your enemies as the bullets are that small!!!  :P

what are yours? if this has been posted before give me a "slap"

At the time Street Fighter II' was really impressive, even with the two button limitation. Now you can play Super Turbo on GBA, Alpha 3 on PSP, etc, so the charm has faded...Most of the games with a lot of text are pretty much out of the question since reading it on that system will melt your eyes.

I guess shooters with large bullets would be cool. The first time I played Zonk was on an Express. Hanatakadata would be nice.

I think platformers would be best though. Bonk, Kato and Ken, Blue Blink, Momotaro Katsugeki...Keith Courage...

BTW, modding an Express became a lot easier with that little PCB D-Lite sells.

I've had a lot of fun playing J.J. and Jeff and Legendary Axe on my TE.

I used to play a lot of Dragon's Curse while working nights at a bowling alley. I was actually able to keep the passwords working.

Usually on the way home at night I'd play Aeroblasters or Ninja Spirit.

My TG-16 was broken for about a year when I bought my Turbo Express and I played games like Bonk's Revenge exclusively on the TE for a while.

Obviously Bomberman games are perfect for the TE.

TurboExpress: Tricky Kick is great on a small screen.

I don't finding reading text to be as hard as some make it to be. Some games might require a little effort, but there hasn't been anything that I downright couldn't read (yet). This brings up a fun question: Has anyone tried all the Turbo Chips they own on their TE? :D

I definitely tried everything I had or rented up until a year or so after I moved away from my home town. So I've played more than 3/4 of the Turbochips on my TE.

the way the 1 & 2 buttons are set makes some platformers difficult- I'm specifically thinking about New Adventure Island- where you have to hold down one button to run and leap with the other- such an easy thing to do on the pad and yet a little tricky to pull off on the express.   The reason for this is when using the pad you have the long part of your thumb available to smother one button while tapping the other- on the express the buttons are laid diagonally and the way your thumb comes up over the side doesn't allow for the same smothering technique you can do with the pad.

I prefer the TE's size since I have man-sized hands. =;

Precisely.

Don't get us wrong, Sinistron, we love MicroMachines as much as the other guys, but seriously...

One of the games best suited to the TE is Military Madness. A cool effect from playing on a TE is that the cursor turns into a rainbow.

Being able to play a near arcade perfect port of Street Fighter 2 Champions Edition on the go was unparalleled back in the early 90's.

Haha yeah that's classic. I've actually put a lot of time into MM on my TE.
