Title: Introducing myself and Turbo Views......
Post by: ChrisBucci on 01/05/2009, 02:17 AM
(?action=dlattach&topic=6286&attach=6207&image)

Hi gang,

First of all, I've been a longtime lurker here and recently joined so I could take part in some of the conversations.  I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello.

So.......hi, I'm Chris Bucci and yes, I'm a TurboGrafx-16 addict. 

I had the system as a kid and it pretty much has become my favorite nostalgic console.  I scooped up games whenever I could in the early 90s and have since become a collector, I guess you could say.   Special thanks to all the great posts and information that you guys have put on this forum.  I have learned so much more than I ever thought possible reading through this place.

Second of all, I decided to dust-off the ole' TurboGrafx collection for the winter.  As I played through the games, I recorded the footage and decided to do short reviews of each game.  Someone asked that I post them onto YouTube and I started to.  I met some really great people as a result.  Since people seemed to enjoy them, I thought I would continue and just wanted to pass the link along to you guys here.  I'd love to share them with you as well.  If you're interested, here's my Playlist at YouTube for them and I'm planning to keep on going so make sure to subscribe:

Thanks for letting me be a part of the forum and have a Happy New Year  :dance:
Sincerely,
Chris B.

I've been watching your videos lately and the reviews are good. You make sense and I can understand what you're are talking about compared to other reviewers I've seen for the TG16 on Youtube, though I won't mention their names. :P Any ways keep up the good work.

Welcome aboard, HAR, HAAARRR, HAAAAAARRRRRR!

I decided to check out your YouTube page and was expecting some typical millenium, Virtual Console style video reviews. Of course being the world's biggest J.J. & Jeff defender, I decided to watch that one. Needless to say, my negative expectations quickly vanished! Fantastic work dude, very well done! I love the opening and ending screens - very early 90's TV-ish (which is a great thing, in my opinion). I was also relieved to see that you actually understood what makes J.J. & Jeff the brilliant game it actually is instead of immediately trashing it like most people do because they're turned off by the humor and Super Mario style control physics.

Good job on the editing too, I really like the appropriate zooming in parts and manual scans. Look forward to watching more reviews, keep up the good work!

Post by: ChrisBucci on 01/05/2009, 09:15 AM
Thanks for the kind words guys.  Obviously these are personal "reviews" so we're not always going to agree.  But, I try to be very comprehensive (in the short amount of time I have) and very detailed as to WHY I feel a certain way about a game. 

That way, at least you know where I'm coming from.......and I don't just say "Eh, this sucks."   [-(
Ugh, I hate that.

I wish I had more time to polish them and do some on-camera stuff and show more......but alas, full-time-job woes always get in the way of the fun stuff. 

Thanks again for watching!
Chris

Welcome aboard! Love the reviews, too! :)

I just watched the JJ and Jeff review and I'm finally going to pick this sucker up. It really does look like fun even if it isn't/wasn't groundbreaking in terms of gameplay. Which should I pick up, the PCE or TG16 port?

Chris, you should consider posting in the high score thread! Looks like the JJ and Jeff scores you had going in your review were more than respectable!

So far the JJ and Jeff review is the only one I've seen, but I really enjoyed it!
Title: Introducing myself and Turbo Views......
Post by: Ceti Alpha on 01/07/2009, 12:25 PM
I just went through the whole lot of the Turbo reviews and loved them all. I remember watching the Terraforming review last year and wanting more. heh Splash Lake looks surprisingly fun.

I'm curious to see what you have to say about Super Mario Galaxy. I've never played this game, so it's still somewhat of a mystery to me.
Title: Introducing myself and Turbo Views......
Post by: ChrisBucci on 01/07/2009, 09:58 PM
Thanks for all your support and encouragement gang.  I'm really having fun making them and it's something I've always wanted to do (I almost did back in 2000 when I dusted the system off the last time......then there was hardly ANYTHING online for the Turbo). 

I might need some of your help in the future possibly.  I went through the list and there are definitely about 20 games that I will not be reviewing, mainly because they are of a sport or theme that I'm not confident enough in.   So, might need some guest reviewers sendin' in some scripts.   :)

Thanks again!

Chris that is a fine idea.  Are there any games you don't own ?  Can you talk a little about your process for video capture ? How long it takes to put together one review ?  Maybe a list of upcoming titles ?

Just my 2 cents. I think your reviews are top notch - keep them coming. It's obvious you connect with the things that make these games really special. Keep it up! =D> =D>

I don't know why, but I have always passed on Splash Lake.  Which is funny cause even to this day I have always been curious about.  I just have never gotten around to it.  Hell I haven't even seen the game in motion till seeing your wonderful review of it.  Now I want to track down a copy to buy and play.  These reviews are great!  Thank you so much for sharing.

Hey, thanks for your kind words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I really appreciate them.  I'll try to answer a few of your questions really quick.

The only US released game I believe I'm missing is Might and Magic III.  I have a manual though, SIGH!   Anyone have an extra ?  :)

It takes me a while to put a review together.  I start, obviously, by playing the game.  As I play, I capture the footage onto a Digital-8 Tape (to preserve the analogue signal the best that I can).  Then I capture scenes into my computer and as I do I make notes on a Word document of things I really want to make sure to mention.  Then I do a little research to see if the game has an angle I can take in the review, unless I already know it (then I still do research to make sure I'm not full of crap), write the script, do the read and then do the edit.  I really try to be extremely thorough and represent the game as best as I can based on how I feel about the game.  As an "anal" editor professionally, I try to keep things in check and NOT kill myself on them (I could literally do a thousand more things with them than I do and I have to say "okay, it's done, let's move on or else you'll never get to the next one)."  You know ?   ;)

Two are in the works now.........Dungeon Explorer II and.....Darkwing Duck.  Oh, I can't wait to do that second one.  I JUST beat it on NORMAL mode FINALLY (after trashing my controller).  LOL!

Thanks again!
Chris

Sorry I used to have a mint copy, but sold it to a former member of this forum.  If I still had it I would sell it again.  I didn't sell it for much either.  I like "helping" the turbo community like you do with your fine reviews.  :)  Sorry I can't help you finish your collection.

I gotta' be honest, I'm not the "best" at RPG's (unless they're something like Ys or Neutopia, something a little more action-based).  I'll probably need some help reviewing stuff like Cosmic Fantasy 2.

Although........I just put up my Dungeon Explorer II review.......that has some RPG in it.  :)

Post by: geddon_jt on 01/19/2009, 09:52 PM
Another awesome review. I concur with your sentiments totally. DE2 is an awesome game, definitely some of the best cinematics on the system too.

You know, your review style almost reminds me of Rick Steves' Europe on the Travel Channel. Your narration style is strangely similar, you're just talking games instead of European sightseeing. LOL

You know, I just reviewed one of my "least" favorite games on the system (Darkwing Duck) and uploaded it to YouTube.  And it's funny........I found myself getting really MAD as I read the script.  I almost turned into the Angry Videogame Nerd.  Amazing how a bad game can do that to you!   :)

Also - just for fun you should record Ryu when you flip an Avenue 6 controller into 6 button mode. You can ninja moonwalk!

I like his reviews. While they're done very well, there's one thing in particular that I enjoy the most of the them, he kicks butt playing games. There are so many video reviewers who complain so much about difficulty, and rate games poorly based on that.

A finally got a copy of AeroBlasters yesterday and sadly the second phase of the game gives me motion sickness. Ah my stomach is in pain right now and as much as I want to keep playing this game, I think I'm going to have to give up. This whole motion sickness thing all started about a year ago, and now it's affected my game time too. I can't even play the Virtual Boy anymore!  :(
Title: Introducing myself and Turbo Views......
Post by: ChrisBucci on 04/27/2009, 09:19 AM
Hey, thanks guys!

I try to play the game extremely thorough before making my decision on a rating and starting the review.

I'm with you....I hate people who play one or two stages and then say "this game sucks."  While you might not always agree with my ratings (some people find R-Type's difficulty the "genius"' of its design, I find it frustrating and, after-a-while, not much fun....though I still say it's an above-average game), hopefully through being "detailed" I can stand by my opinions. 
You know?

Anyway....thanks again!!!!
Chris

I wish there was something to help me out. So far I can't play flight simulators, Aero Blasters, the Virtual Boy and Contra 3: The Alien Wars lol.

@Mathius: Although I've had my Turbo for more than 10 years, I still consider myself a newcomer as I'm still learning a lot about this great system. I too am building up my collection but I only have a TG-16 at the moment. As of today I'm up to 26 games! Glad to have yah aboard man.

This may sound obvious, but have you ever tried Dramamine? I hear that works for some people. Navy guys use it to alleviate seasickness.

Sadly, Dramamine is also an antihistamine and probably shouldn't be taken if you are on other antihistamines. Also, it tends to be drowsy-making.

Have you tried the 'less-drowsy' Dramamine or Antivert?  They're based on a different drug than 'normal' Dramamine, so they might work without making you quite as sleepy.

I noticed, spida1a, that you did an awesome(as always :D) review of Dungeon Explorer II for the Duo. This is a U.S. release but I can't find that dang thing anywhere! The awesome group of people here recommended the japanese version but I kind of like the story of the first game and would like to continue it. I guess there are walkthroughs but I'd rather just read english. Do you or anybody else know a place to pick this up and how much?

eBay is probably the best bet. Think I saw it recently for about $20.

I believe he was saying people recommeded the jap version but he still wanted the US version.   That being the case I don't think you saw it on eBay for $20.00.  Maybe you saw Dungeon Explorer (the first version) and not version II.

I think that the english menus consist of "New Game" or "Load" after the title screen and that the in-game menus are english in the PCE version.

If anyone is willing to drop over $100 on DEII in english without playing it first, why not spend a measly $20 on the PCE first and decide if it's worth it?

I was just playing MAME the other day and came across Cuebrick, which was released in 1989, a year earlier than Timeball for the PCE/TG. Exactly the same type of gameplay, but definitely not quite as bland as Timeball, with the colourful backgrounds and whatnot. I guess if Timeball was released as a SuperCD/CD game we would have been treated to something more along these lines.

Holy crap, how did I miss this when you first posted it? This game rocks, it has nice polish.

Of course, CUEBRICK (I like many of his films, as well), is one of many clones of the original sweetness:

(https://junk.tg-16.com/images/diablo.jpg)

I know you know this, already. I just want us to bask in the glory of Diablo.

Unfortunately, I fear that Hudson wouldn't have put out anything as sweet as CUEBRICK... maybe FACE or UPL or Naxat would have spent the time to really polish things for a "minor" title like Blodia Special Edition (Red Book soundtrack, muthaf***ers).

If ever there was a homebrew that appealed to only 3-4 people in the entire universe, it would be Blodia Special Edition SCD.

Hey, thanks guys. 

Like the show, the DVD was a retro/Turbo "labor-of-love."  I tried to add a TON of extra stuff to make the DVD set worth it. 

The main show will always be on YouTube, though, first.  :)

In fact, the next one hopefully will be uploaded in the next day.   O:)

Thanks to everyone for the support and friendship (and also a quick shout to Esteban from this forum who "out of the kindess of his heart" re-designed www.turboviews.com for me).

Hey guys!

I haven't been on the forum for a while (had a huge move recently that pulled me away from most things "online").  I was surprised to see my initial thread was still going on.  Thanks for posting the new updates for me here.....and thanks for the kind words!

I am having absolute fun doing Turbo Views.  I truly am.  It gives me a chance to relive my childhood AND make videos, two things I love, aside from playing my Turbo that is.  And, eventually, we'll get all just-shy-of-140 American released games taken care of hopefully...in probably five or ten more years, ha ha.

I realize that we won't always agree (after-all, it's an opinion based show and they're only ONE opinion).  But, I hope I am detailed enough with them that you see where I am coming from and enjoy them none-the-less.

Thanks again for the support.  Love the forum!
Sincerely,
Chris Bucci

I agree that Blazing Lazers has some flaws (for example, stage 2 is too long, easy, and should have been re-formulated).

However, Blazing Lazers still rules because you can change the difficulty (I play on "God of Game").

Trust me, you'll have a blast!

HINT: For the last stage, it becomes much, much easier once you figure out a strategy. For example, I often mess up, die,  and lose all my power-ups. But that's OK, because the last stage is totally passable with nothing but a pea shooter:
1) Adjusting speed is an important strategy. Put speed to max (or near max) to quickly destroy enemies on far left/far right with pea shooter.
2) Embrace the awesome double-bass drum sound of the music. Goddamn, that's a great tune. It outclasses 99% of Red Book/modern crap.
3) Be grateful you're not playing "God of Game" difficulty level. Then you would be crying.
4) Throughout the game, collect the "blinking rainbow" power-ups to continue immediately after dying without going back to a checkpoint (the power-up that changes numbers and can be hit with your weapons...it eventually goes rainbow).

:)

Quote from: Obfuscate on 02/18/2010, 04:03 PMI like Blazing Lazers but think it's a bit over rated. Don't like how the first 8 levels are super easy then the last is super hard. I Much prefer Soldier Blade, Super Star Soldier, Lords of Thunder, Gate of Thunder, Aero Blasters and Air Zonk. But that's just one duders opinion.
I agree that Blazing Lazers has some flaws (for example, stage 2 is too long, easy, and should have been re-formulated).

However, Blazing Lazers still rules because you can change the difficulty (I play on "God of Game").

Trust me, you'll have a blast!

HINT: For the last stage, it becomes much, much easier once you figure out a strategy. For example, I often mess up, die,  and lose all my power-ups. But that's OK, because the last stage is totally passable with nothing but a pea shooter:
1) Adjusting speed is an important strategy. Put speed to max (or near max) to quickly destroy enemies on far left/far right with pea shooter.
2) Embrace the awesome double-bass drum sound of the music. Goddamn, that's a great tune. It outclasses 99% of Red Book/modern crap.
3) Be grateful you're not playing "God of Game" difficulty level. Then you would be crying.
4) Throughout the game, collect the "blinking rainbow" power-ups to continue immediately after dying without going back to a checkpoint (the power-up that changes numbers and can be hit with your weapons...it eventually goes rainbow).

:)
Thanks for the BL tips este! :D

Man, it seems like everything is turning up Blazing Lazers lately. I'm all fired up for this game to arrive.

Awesome strategy!  I am going to use that next time I fire the game up.

It's funny....I actually had detailed information about the "flashing crystal" (and how to utilize that with gameplay).  But, as I was cutting stuff out of the review, that section ended up on the cutting-room-floor (two reasons: I lost the footage for some reason of the re-spawning and I thought it would be fun to just mention it and let the player fight that out so they get more out of the game).

Thanks for watching and for the support guys.  You are, as always, the best!!

No problem. :)

You'll be amazed what you can do with some swift dodging, full speed, with pea shooter + one photon blaster (comets of destruction).

Also, don't forget you're playing on the default difficulty, which is for DOGS:
QuoteDifficulty Select - At the title or intro screens, hold Select then press (I, II) 10 times. This takes you to a screen where you can choose between "Hard Human" and the default "Normal Dog". Repeat the code once more to add "Super Mania" to the possible selections. Then, do the code still once more to unlock "God of the Game". Once you have your preferred difficulty selected, perform a soft reset (hold run, tap select) to exit this screen.

Hey spida1a,

Thanks for the youtube clips.  I was talking the other day about seeing a youtube video where someone had a hard DUO game case.  It was your video collection footage.  I have the same Duo game case as yours - in a teal color.  I know I got them from either TTI or TZD (probably TZD).

Looking forward to more of your videos.  Keep up the good work.

I like Batman, and hate it at the same time.  I wish it were like the NES batman only better....

what it is now is fine, but if you changed the theme to any other random theme, it would be just as good probably. :(

Hopefully it wouldn't have horrible parallax like the PC Engine version of Ninja Gaiden. But, even with it in, having a side scrolling, Sunsoft developed Batman game would have ruled!

Hey there.  Ha ha.  Yes, I had already started working on Volume 2 (grabbing all the high-rez versions of the episodes together, getting some of the extras, and etc.). 

So far I have the memory commentaries done and some of the music gathered together for the alternate tracks.  The special features include a mixed interview with myself (and Gamester81 and PeteDorr), Turbo Views tips, edited / cut footage and audio from the first 50 vids, and hopefully much more.

Unfortunately, when I went home for the holidays, I was admitted into the hospital.  It turns out I had gallstones that were blocking...blah blah...you know what...let's just say, it's a lot more complicated than they thought.  So, I am pretty much stuck in PA until things are figured out here.  Therefore, the DVD will be on hold until I can get back home.

I am hoping things will work out well and 2011 will be great.

My favorite part of the series has probably when he goes into the positive of JJ and Jeff near the end of the review, especially the part about the game having an addictive feel and a ton of stuff to find. It really made me feel like he's being honest and heartfelt with his reviews.

We have spent a lot of time on this forum discussing the merits and charm of Racing RPG's.

A nice little touch: he shows a page from the original instruction manual listing the stages with black & white screenshots... but then he superimposes actual gameplay footage over the original screenshots. Very nice :)

I never played the NES version, but now I want to check it out.

I just bought the NES version last week locally. It's very similar to the Turbo version, but IMO the controls ever so slightly tighter in the NES version.

Ooooo, the controls are even tighter? That is a good thing. I definitely have to get the NES version.

The funny thing is, I had never read about or seen the NES version back in the day. I was totally surprised it existed.

I suppose I was no longer focused on the NES universe at the time.

I didn't know about it either until a while back. It's not too common but it shouldn't set you back too much $$. I got my copy for about $15.

I was talking to Sunteam a while ago about Coryoon and I mentioned how similar the music sounds between it and Air Zonk. He said the they may have shared the same development team. That kind of threw me though. Red developed PC Denjin right? And Hudson distributed. Coryoon is credited to Naxat Soft. So did Red develop Coryoon for Naxat Soft, or did Naxat develop it internally with some of the same members from Red?

Hooray! After his editing machines' hard drive crashed, I started to wonder if he was going to go through the trouble of rebuilding all of his assets from scratch.  Luckily, it sounded like someone was able to retrieve a lot of the data from that drive so I'm glad he was able to move this project forward.  That had to have been devastating. 

Go spida1a!

The sound, the graphics, the gameplay, the sound effects.  This is more Air Zonk II, than Super Air Zonk is... even if it was released first!!

I swear the same exact team worked on both games!

That's because it was the same team; Air Zonk is essentially a reskinned Coryoon.

You know what I am hoping for Chris?  That when you finish Vol 2 that you not only offer it on DVD, but also offer Vol 1 + 2 on Blu-Ray.

I would be awesome to have a Blu-Ray case with some fine art and a nice logo on the disc!  Lots of bonuses like FLAC versions of the music, etc.

Cotton surprised me because it was TICKING ME OFF big time.  But, I kept going back to it over and over and over and over.  I usually don't fall for the "beat things a second time to get the game's credits" bull.  The problem was....I couldn't stop!  So, I raised it a half star and I'm glad I was able to share my defeating of the second pass on default with you guys (will NEVER happen again, ha ha).

I know I said in private already on YouTube, but I really want to thank you for these reviews. It's not often that I buy homebrew DVD's(in fact the last ones were the Retroware Seasons 1 and 2), but I HAD to buy yours as they were jam packed and looked professionally done. BTW, I have a Blu-Ray burner. If you need someone to burn Blu-Rays for you, if you could make the disc images, I could burn them no problem. I don't know how to make custom menus or I'd master them myself for you. You could probably get around $30 for the Blu-Ray sets(discs go for about $2 a disc now), so it's something to think about.

If you want to master them yourself, here's the machine I use:

I own a Blu-Ray player and I still would buy normal Turbo View DVDs. Blu-Ray is nice but I can't see paying the same movie over and over and over again. So if Chris does do Blu-Ray I hope he still releases plain o boring DVD.

Well, women in general seem to have a fetish for absolutely humiliating their men by showing kid pics and old vids!

Who knows, maybe teh Dracula X-cellent Master will get you some points with the ladies! Ive seen several comments to the effect that it might make a great bonus feature on the next turbo views DVD, which i think makes sense.

Even If we wanted to I forone didn't have the means to do anything like that. Watching this MASTER TAPE and then watching Turbo Views just shows me that you was always and still are a DIE HARD Turbo Fan. Thanks for sharing your awesome reviews and walk thru's.

Ha ha.  Well....thanks guys.  I cringed at the thought of showing it (obviously I edited down my  host segments a bit....hence the "flip" transition I obviously didn't have back-then).  But, I'm glad you enjoyed it.  I did a Super Mario World tape like this once and a few others.....mostly for fun.  I always liked creating stuff....artistic ADD.  Ha ha.  :)

Indeed, it takes true grit to post a video from back-in-the-day. I think it was courageous to put the video out for us to see ;)

Now, I didn't actually watch the entire video: I simply watched your hosting segments! Don't let that prevent you from posting the Super Mario video, though.

I got these from my wife under the tree:

(http://www.killedaway.com/images/turboviews.jpg)

Just popped in the first one a few minutes ago for a quick peek. Absolutely top-shelf stuff here, Chris. If you're reading, thank you so much for creating these. My wife thanks you as well. She normally doesn't like ordering online for gifts, so my hopes were set really low, and I didn't think I was going to get them. But I think she knew how much I wanted them, so she decided to take a chance. She said Chris got in touch with her right away to make sure he sent to the correct address; she wanted them sent to her parents' house because she thought I might recognize the name on the package if it came here (she was right!). Chris took care of everything and got them out fast.

Thanks, Chris. Keep up the great work!

Have to ask, Why did you buy 2 of Vol. 1 just to keep it sealed? Should have bought Vol. 2 with the Vol. 1 money.
Title: Introducing myself and Turbo Views......
Post by: Shrapnoid on 02/06/2012, 10:31 AM
No. What happened was back before Vol. 2 was released, I placed an order for Vol. 1. After I had watched it and contacted him to tell him how great it was, he told me that he had forgotten that he sent it to me and had shipped another one so, I said "Really? Do you want me to send it back?" and Chris, being the cool dude that he is just tells me to keep it and "...so, Merry Christmas" or something like that.

How's that for generosity? He's just an all around good guy. Cheers, Chris! You're the best, man! I put you right up there with Garner!

Yeah. It may not look identical to the arcade version but, there some points in the TG16 version where they enhanced the graphics over the arcade version and kept the 4 player capability, while the Genesis version just allowed up to two players and an over all choice of only 2 characters.

You mean four characters in the Turbob, as it's a two player game like on the Genny.

We just can't win. I am so grateful that Bucci does these videos. They make part of the Turbo's legacy in my mind. But, it seems like as soon as Bucci does a video the game that is featured goes up in price. Poor Bucci, I know that isn't his intent.

I've barely been keeping track of prices lately. Can't spend too much right now, so I've just been enjoying what I already own. But every time I peek and check current prices, they seem to just be getting worse and worse. Oh well!

It's not you that's causing it anyway, Chris. I've been looking around and it's starting to happen with other systems and games too, even on craigslist.
Lately it seems that the money munchers out there, have gotten it in their heads that 20 year old games have moved out of the collectable market and into the antiques market.
Guess nobody told them that nothing is an antique until after 30 years.

BTW, I caught your Cadash review a few days ago. Nice job as always.

Yes, thanks to Mathius....we had an ending!!  :)

It is funny because...the way the video originally ended...I took the chip out, stopped the end review credits, and destroyed the broken chip.  Almost AVGN-ish.  Just despondent and upset (which I truly was).  I had HAD it.

Halfway into editing, I picked up the new copy of SSS for FUN and beat the game some random day (recording all of stage 8 in anticipation).  So excited, I re-wrote the ending and decided to do a slight "homage" to King of Kong since it ended almost the same, near the end of editing it was defeated and changed the outcome.  Ha ha.   

Thanks guys!  As always,
Chris

Awesome, really enjoyed the episode and glad you finally beat it! The way it crashed on you is so frustrating, but sometimes weird things happen when you are really into a game. Power outages being one of them.

Another excellent review Chris! I remember struggling with beating SSS, the last boss is a headache. I must have played through SSS around 10 times in one day to finally beat the last boss. Funny thing although I was frustrated failing at the final boss I enjoyed replaying the game so it's a mixed blessing I guess. :lol:

Anyway keep up the great work!

When i first got Vol 1 as a kid I LOVED IT, Thats what i was into at the time. The whole crime solving use your head games and books. The Murder Mystery kid in me is screaming at you for a 5. But the adult that tried to play the game recently agrees with you its a 1 time play thru game and its a 3 give or take a half cd.

Another great review Chris look forward to see what you have next.

I'm sitting on JB Harold and Sherlock Holmes 1 and 2 waiting for enough time to devote to playing them. Back in the Turbo CD/Sega CD days I despised these FMV style games, but my tastes in games have "broadened" with age so I'm going to give these a try eventually. Excellent review as always!

I've wanted to get Takin it to the Hoop for quite some time, but reviews didn't seem too great for it, until now. I liked Double Dribble so this one would be good enough. Just a question: can you change the playtime during matches? Because they seem to go on too long.

J.B. Harold rocks and holds up well today. No FMV. You will like it.

NOTE: iOS versions exist for several JB Harold games...all but one is in English, though, and I can't get very far without asking myself, "What the hell are you doing?" stumbling around menus and clues. :pcgs:

JB Harold was pretty well done for that kind of title. I remember when Sinistron did a review of it so I ended up having to play it myself to get some screen shots.

  I like your video reviews as well and I'm curious also:  will there be a DVD 3?  I am considering buying the first two, but wanted to offer a suggestion in case there's a future "Version 2" or Blu-Ray compilation:

  Perhaps you can offer them in a jewel case packaging instead of regular DVD (or Blu-Ray) size?  Maybe with cool orange spines and TG font?  It would be nice to have them next to my Duo games, rather than with DVDs (I have DVDs all boxed up these days).

 Keep up the great work!

Post by: ChrisBucci on 09/08/2012, 08:18 PM
Hey, thanks for your great compliments.  I truly appreciate it.  I am planning a 3rd volume when we get to episode #75 (which...isn't too far away so perhaps early next year). 

I like your "jewel case" idea.  I'll have to look into that for the future.  One thing is...there will be 6 total DVD volumes (almost like, a TurboGrafx video encyclopedia).  And, a friend of mine who works for a DVD manufacturing company is actually designing a "case" to hold all 6 volumes perfectly for me.  On the artwork side it will look like the original TurboGrafx box.  It's really cool.  I'm lucky to have awesome friends.

So...in twenty years when I finished the series (ha ha)...I'm hoping he'll still be alive (ha ha) to help me make the case.  Lol!

Thanks!  Your support is always appreciated and awesome.

My thoughts exactly on this one. Solid all around but my least favorite in the series. I am seriously looking forward to the only other remaining game in the Soldier series yet to be reviewed. :wink:

Super Star Soldier was my first experience with the Soldier series, and while it's not my favorite shooter on the console it has all the ingredients necessary for a good shootie experience. Final Soldier was next on my list. I liked the game but felt it was too easy and the power-ups weren't as interesting. Killer music as always though. Finally, I picked up Soldier Blade. The first time I played it I felt as if I was playing a 32-Bit shooter. Seriously. The graphics were sharper and more detailed, the weapons were fascinating, and the music rocked my knuckle hairs off. :)

Im with mathius for the most part... But for me Super Star Soldier is my fave of the series. I played through Final Soldier my first afternoon sitting down with it. I found it far too easy with only a couple spots that had decent action. I agree with Mathius that the powerups were boring... In particular the flame weapon was far less interesting than SSS. Ive cleared soldier blade too and found that game boring an easy as well. Nicer graphics and art than final soldier but the fun factor just wasnt there. SSS is probably the only one I'll ever revisit.

Gameplay is a little clunker and time consuming to learn then he leads on, but once you get it there is fun to be had, and the Music is Amazing + I picked it up in very  good condition for 15 Bucks just a few months ago.

First of all...Mathius...you're going to wait until tonight!?  Sigh, some friend you are!  (ha ha, JK).

Second of all...thanks for the kind words guys.  SOB is a good game for the money.  But, be warned....like turboswimbz says...many people find it very clunky.  I myself caught on to its quirks a little faster than others for some reason or another (it didn't really seem that bad to me, it could be due to the inclusion of the turbo-switches, ha ha).  But, it's not everyone's cup of tea for sure.

Thanks for the support, as always!
Chris

Post by: esteban on 03/23/2013, 10:01 AM
OVERALL, EXCELLENT Victory Run review. :pcgs:

STATUS on MINUTIAE: Bucci was too nice about the sound effects in Victory Run. Even back in the day, I thought the sound effects were WEAK SAUCE and WAY TOO LOUD. It's OK to have rudimentary sound effects if the VOLUME is low (subtle). Sadly, far too many developers erred on the side of ANNOYING THE HELL OUT OF ME with SFX. Call it a pet peeve. To add insult to injury, the tunes in Victory Run are actually good, so *overly loud* SFX interrupt the experience. NOTE: ENGINE/ACCELERATION SFX ARE BASIC BUT FINE and add to the experience.

WHAT BUCCI COULD HAVE EMPHASIZED MORE: He does point out that folks have to experiment/develop/devise strategies for managing parts (a crucial element to game if you actually intend to beat it)...but the same can be said for managing the terrain (the car responds differently to different terrrain....trial and error on later tracks is TOUGH PILL TO SWALLOW because you worked so hard, conserving your parts, pushing speed limits to make good time, only to SCRATCH YOUR HEAD wondering why you are FAILING to make any good time on the SAVANNAH stage--should you stay in third gear? will that be fast enough to make good time?)

BOTTOM LINE: Bucci delivers another enjoyable, fair review of Victory Run. I happen to love the hell out of this game, but I suppose he's right: most folks won't have the patience to get past a few stages.
Title: Introducing myself and Turbo Views......
Post by: ChrisBucci on 03/23/2013, 10:29 AM
Thanks for watching and esteban...thanks for sharing your thoughts on the game.  One of the reasons I started Turbo Views a few years ago was to begin "discussions" about TurboGrafx possibly in the YouTube arena (granted...you guys don't need MY help due to this awesome forum, but with others who aren't a part of this necessarily).  So, it's great when we can all just talk about our different opinions and ideas on the same subject.  You know?

Thanks always everyone.  :)

I just watched the World Class Baseball and I was shocked when you said the fielders may not be in the right place.  The shadows WOULD screw somebody up, but until you mentioned them, I never noticed.  I always followed the ball.  I also started playing this game in 1991, so how did I never notice?  :)

When you play your Duo, do you just use Composite lead?  Any modding done to your consoles especially fro video capture?

Yup.....I have it connected to a good old fashioned standard-def TV with composite cables.  Then the signal is split and I capture footage using a Sony Handycam with pass-through (from 2000, ha ha).  :)

Ha ha.  The nice part is, the video quality captured via the Handycam won't look any better than it does.  It converts it to digital, sharpening it up making it look even better than it would coming out onto the TV via S-Video (it also cut down on any analogue noise pumping into it, which is a great thing).  So...we're good to go.  :)

Have you ever tried one of those Dazzle vid capture devices? Wonder how it works with game consoles. I bought one to convert a HI-8 tape to digital and it did the trick. Maybe I should try it just to see.

I'm waiting for him to review Double Dungeons. I never thought it deserved all the hate it gets. Sure it's simplistic, but after a few levels, it grows on you and, while repetitive, the gameplay can be kind of addicting. I'd give it at least a 3. I'm curious what he thought of it.

I was hoping for a Ys III review during the summer. Summertime is RPG season for me and I thought it would be a fitting review this time of year. Like Double Dungeons Ys III will get reviewed eventually.

On PowerGolf: I never thought this game had overly-challenging controls, but Bucci suggests in his videos that some folks find the mechanics frustrating.

I enjoy PowerGolf, but I do wish these old golf games had a greater variety of courses (or some element that kept things feeling fresh...like "hurricane golf" with constantly windy conditions and the occasional sandstorm...oh, I can dream...).

BOTTOM LINE: A lot of these old golfing games have fidgety controls, I just don't know if PowerGolf is significantly more fidgety than the average 8-/16-bit game.

Enjoyed everyone so far.  I made the mistake of trying to catch up on your pinball vids.  Man, that sucks hours of my life away and I'm not even near the end of them.  Great stuff!  :)

Thanks for the interest in the third DVD set, truly!  I am actually recording the next "Memory" commentaries as we speak.  I'm hoping to do pre-orders after the first of the year and delivery in February.  :)

Got the next two videos in the editing bay as well.   :)

You know, I had seen your Turbo reviews on youtube before, but I didn't put it together until just now that you were the same guy with the sweet pinball collection I was linked to from pinballarcadefans.  Turbo collecting I've been able to do for years now, but one of the these days I'd like to own a Black Knight 2000 (Pinball tables have always been a little pricey for me.)  Anyways, nice job on both your TG-16 and your pinball videos!

Oh, and I just noticed Classic Game Room had to take their videos off of youtube, is this gonna effect you in the same way?

Thanks as always for the kind words guys.  I am glad you enjoy the vids as much as I do putting them together (when I get a chance to that is, ha ha).

I had hoped the extra exposure would maybe help the gang at Frozen sell a couple.  They deserve it, it's a great effort.  If you are strapped for some cash, I noticed that they have a handful of "seconds" for sale on their Ebay store (search Mysterious Song).  I think it's only $13.00...not sure the condition of them though.  :)
Thanks again,

I love Bucci  :pcgs: However, let's be finicky...

Bucci is crazy: this game is most certainly intense (sure, there are easy parts, but there are plenty of hectic, crazy, intense segments o shoot-em-up action). Even if you find the default speed of the dragon to be sluggish (not unlike many games, such as Gradius, where this was intentional, to make the "speed up" power-up an actual, you know, power-up that was worthwhile.

I love Bucci, but he needs to use a different adjective.  :pcgs:
Title: Introducing myself and Turbo Views......
Post by: ChrisBucci on 01/16/2014, 12:40 AM
Ha ha.  I love you too man.  Even if you're just as crazy as I am! 

I like my adjective...for me it describes the feeling I get playing DS quite perfectly.    :dance:

Post by: ChrisBucci on 02/06/2014, 09:24 PM
Thanks my friend.  Glad it arrived safely!

Since I don't sell enough to justify the costs associated with "replication" (pressing) that is not really an option.  That leaves "duplication" as the only other choice.   And...well...that allows me to basically create everything myself from inking to duplication (at my office we use the highest quality "watershield" glossy Discs you can buy so I make sure to pick those up for every Turbo Views set) to packaging to shipping.   

It is a ton of work so all I can hope is that they arrive in one piece and people enjoy them.   :)

Thanks Mathius!  As always.

I was delirious and typed out a nice (read: über-nerdy) email about how you could revisit a game and, instead of reviewing it (since you did already)....

I hope to God it is stuck in my outbox. I kept falling asleep as I wrote it.

Yeah, I've never particuarly liked Klax either... great ad slogan, but the game's not one of the better blockdropping puzzle games of the time, really.  It's okay, but there's better out there.  As for the TG16 port, definitely looks good apart from the absence of a two player splitscreen mode.  The NES and Genesis versions of Klax have splitscreen support, so it's too bad that the TG16 (and all the other ports, it seems) don't.

I haven't watched many of the videos. Sometimes it's because I don't want his views to influence my opinion (because I haven't really played a game seriously yet).

The English dub is pretty bad! But for some reason I still love it, maybe it's because I played it in English first. Granted, I did eventually got the PC Engine version and played it in all it's Japanese-y glory but the English version just has a certain, cheesy charm to it. Valis III is easily my favorite.

Yeah, I'm sure the Crush games had their fair share of play, but it's the Casino game I remember playing the most. I remember one day showing a classmate Street Fighter II (using one of those green diving board converters) on the Express and he wasn't all that impressed, mostly due to lack of buttons.  Good times...

No, everybody is so quick to trash a game.

A truly wonderful aspect of Bucci is that he tries to find something to appreciate.

It's so easy to trash. Especially when you don't even beat a game.

Bucci actually plays these games. And completes them. That's why I respect him more than 99.99% of everyone else. In the universe.

The last thing we need is for Bucci to get lazy and trendy and just trash a game.

I think he only reviews games that he actually beats (he beat Darkwing Suck and Deep Flu). Maybe reviews take long time to come out because the man is out there trying to beat those games.

Nice review.  I like Cyber Core, maybe not the greatest game, but It's fun.  And as far as Music goes I always felt this game was under-appreciated.

AM I only one who will now spend the day playing cyber core. . . and probably ever other game that;s chatted about on here

I love bugs, and I love shmups, but there's something lackluster about this game that I can't quite place...maybe it's the size of the player sprite? I hate shmups with an unnecessarily large player ship...unless it's a mech.  Then, it's somehow excusable...

It appears to be a mediocre game...but the more you play it, you realize that some of it is nicely crafted.

I still enjoy going back and playing through it.

It grows on you. It never "wows" audiences with anything completely unique, but it won me over for simply being an honest, decent shootemup using the Xevious formula (air-to-air main gun, air-to-ground bombs for ground targets). I consider it an under-appreciated shootemup. DISCLAIMER: I love Dragon Spirit, which uses the same formula, so I have a soft spot for these games.

I have grown to love CyberCore.

I hope to make it my bride.

BONUS: This game has a neat sound test. :)

Hm.  With that in mind, I may have to give it a shot.  The prospect of owning another turbografx shewtie (with a mutant cicada on the cover, no less) is pretty appealing.  Cicadas are my favorite ^-^

It isn't really "drama", but I've just never seen someone get worked up over the fact that a YT creator bleeped out their own swear-word.  I think I've used a swear-word maybe twice on my channel, and bleeped it both times.  Honestly, I just think it sounds funnier that way.  I'll leave the swearing to all of the angry video game reviewers.

I think the "bleep" properly placed is funnier as well.   And there are some older videos where I DID swear a bit more.   But ... I just don't feel it is necessary really.   A lot of YOUNG kids watch my series (and their parents have told me so).  I'm not totally PG but it's all just a personal choice and ... it doesn't add a thing to it.

And honestly ... In the end ... It's my channel.   So I can do what I want.  Nyah Nyah Nyah, right?   Lol. 

And thanks everyone.  Truly!

I just haven't really been much of a YouTube watcher (or a watcher of much anything), I would rather play a game than watch others do so.  That said, these videos are short enough to be able to watch one when I have 10 spare minutes, so I've been watching them, and I really enjoy them.

Title: Introducing myself and Turbo Views......
Post by: esteban on 07/18/2015, 07:11 AM
Bucci! :)

Great video. I won't get into a discussion now about the games, except to say III tops my list.

There have been many discussions over the years about how to rank (1) PCE Valis games and (2) all Valis games across all platforms.

So,  comrade, before your skills/memories  atrophy, I know you will happily play Valis IV (SNES) and Valis I + III (Genesis)...and tells us about the nuances.

Wait, what's that? You need a break from the Valis series?

Dammit!

:)

BOTTOM LINE:
At least I'm not asking you to play all the PC versions. And I am sparing you from the awful Syd of Valis, too.

It doesn't matter what order you play them in, really.

I played II, III, IV, I and was happy....Valis II is easy and short, so that may or may lot matter to you.

I say: grab the cheap and convenient games first. If PCE versions of II and III are significantly cheaper than TG-CD, grab the Japanese versions (because you can always watch the English cinemas on YouTube).

I love the Turbo Views series, spida! It is without a doubt my favorite gaming review series on You Tube!  :D
I purchased Final Lap Twin after seeing your review of it. I would normally avoid most sports games, but the way you showed how it mixes racing and RPG elements I knew it was something I should try out.
I hope you are doing well and look forward to your new episodes!

Oh, also, you mentioned in one of your earlier videos that the sound was starting to go out some in your TurboDuo. Have you had it upgrade since then with a cap job or have you started using something else like a Duo-R or RX?

I'm personally looking forward to a Turbo Views episode that covers Legend of Hero Tonma, or one dedicated to the Arcade Card titles, similar to what Chris did when he talked about the Super System Card.
I'm happy for him to work at his own pace though. Chris' reviews are so top notch it is well worth the wait when a new episode arrives.  :D

CD version better?
Title: Introducing myself and Turbo Views......
Post by: johnnykonami on 11/08/2015, 10:39 AM
So how come the CD version of this goes for so much?  It's probably not because it's an awesome game that everyone is clamoring to get.  I assume the availability wasn't very good originally or a smaller print run as opposed to the turbochip or something like that.  Bonk III is sort of similar, right?  I don't think the chip version is cheap or anything, but the CD version is considered the rarer or at least more valuable of the two, right?  I'm just speculating, I could be wrong but thought there might be some kind of parallel with these dual format releases.  I know Bonk III belongs to that 1993-TTI-is-dying club where every game released at the end of the system's US lifespan had limited production.  Did I forget about any other dual format releases?  That's all I can think of.

Return of the Mack.  Another great entry and I tend to agree with the sentiment.  That draw-in exposes the game's roots as an old floppy disk game and really has no reason for being on the Turbo other than because of shoddy porting.  Loved the draw-in for the Verdict page, haha.

Quote from: johnnykonami on 11/08/2015, 10:39 AMSo how come the CD version of this goes for so much?  It's probably not because it's an awesome game that everyone is clamoring to get.  I assume the availability wasn't very good originally or a smaller print run as opposed to the turbochip or something like that.  Bonk III is sort of similar, right?  I don't think the chip version is cheap or anything, but the CD version is considered the rarer or at least more valuable of the two, right?  I'm just speculating, I could be wrong but thought there might be some kind of parallel with these dual format releases.  I know Bonk III belongs to that 1993-TTI-is-dying club where every game released at the end of the system's US lifespan had limited production.  Did I forget about any other dual format releases?  That's all I can think of.
I did some basic research. CD version has 4 more courses to play on. That's huge.

Thanks for the support, as always guys!!

DC was a tough one to score because I kept flipping between 4 and 4 1/2.   In the end, that 1/2 star doesn't really make all that much of a difference (I found enough little quirks with the game to keep it from there and feel confident with the choice).   But, at times I wish I hadn't even started the "rating scale" all those years ago so I could just let my review speak for itself. 

I'd say we're on a roll!!!

Thanks again!   The next one is in the works!
Have a great Thanksgiving and Holiday everyone!

Great to see another review, and so quickly after the last too.  Dragon's Curse has always been the game I wanted to see reviewed most, so watching the review today really made my day.  Great job, Chris.  It has always been my favorite Master System game, and while I own it on the TG, I never really played that version very much because I didn't want to re-open the can of worms of the password system - to my surprise I learned in the review that you can use the save function, which again points to the power of OBEY.

Hu-Man...that's hilarious.

You should get the DVD sets Chis offers.  They include a ton of bonus stuff.  The wife and I watch them several time over.  Very good way to get an honest feel for a game before buying.

If you have three-button AVE PAD 3, you can have BUTTON III map to SELECT.

Of course, not everyone has a 3-button pad (I like 'em, even the third-party models I've tried).

Stage 4 Asteroids is still the toughest stage for me. My strategies are LAME and I always get slammed by speeding asteroids or a cluster of asteroids/bullets. Ha! It's sad, but I just never figured out a good strategy.

The final two stages are very doable for any shootemup fan (IMHO). In other words, the final two stages are challenging, but FAIR, and it isn't too hard to devise strategies (countering the constant barrage of tiny homing missiles in Stage 5's maze is easy for me compared to the asteroids).

Don't be fooled by the final stage—a lot of the crazy chaos on the screen can be easily avoided (you just need to find a "narrow path" through everything, you don't have to build a high score). STAGE 6 = Gradius skills will aide you.

Old_Rover (nodtveidt) has an excellent post/thread about the differences between Sinistron (NA) and Violent Soldier (JP).

What was inaccurate in his article? Honest question. I see a lot of HG101 hate here but most of his reviews seem to align with what I've read here and on TBD.
Title: Introducing myself and Turbo Views......
Post by: NightWolve on 07/05/2016, 10:12 PM
Yeah, ole Punchy Punch probably won't respond now as he does in other cases when questioned about the snipes/shots he takes.

It's definitely gotta be at least a reference to that John Szczepaniak (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1748556728/the-untold-history-of-japanese-game-developers) guy, AKA Crazy/Pyscho John, who declared war on the Metal Gear Solid 2 translator, Agness Kaku, and her sister, after a falling out when he went to Japan for his book! The guy even caught 2 libel lawsuits because they didn't take his 4chan power troll bullshit lying down, good thing to have watched!

Anyway, if you search around here, you can find a thread on a PCE shooter review he did that many here lambasted as a fail for multiple reasons. We haven't been fans of his PCE reviews, put it that way.

That said, there are many authors on the HG101 website and lots of content you won't find elsewhere. I do find plenty of typos which I report for correction actually, but there's still great stuff that can't be dismissed because of a bipolar ahole like John.

The comprehensive Falcom/Ys article by Kurt Kalata is absolutely legendary, nothing like it anywhere else; it's pretty much the best I have ever seen and is something I wish I could've put together myself! Almost everything and anything about Ys all in one place, nothing else can compete with it from what I've seen:

http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/ys/ys.htm (http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/ys/ys.htm)

For the record, I'm not somebody to wanna get in the tank for HG101, believe me... (1) Kurt Kalata banned me from the HG101 forums as a favor to Thomas Lipschultz, the XSEED criminal employee who used his company for revenge and got me cheated. They're friends and did live panels together on Falcom many years ago (Lipschultz is to the left of Kurt in this video (https://youtu.be/rHunw7PvnHk)). I had sent a PM to Lipschultz' WyrdWad account there, he reported me to Kurt, and my account was simply banned. He could've just deleted my message and blocked me, but he pulled a favor.

(2) Before that, Psycho John let Jeff Nussbaum (https://www.facebook.com/boycottxseed/posts/496140430505456), another criminal who I used to translate Ys games with, write whatever libelous nonsense, a lying narrative basically, in an interview to justify the cheating that occurred, to send a message to me that way since he was playing stupid with me (sat quiet for 3 years, pretending not to know me anymore) after those disgraceful XSEED deals... I was never contacted for any kind of rebuttal, a chance to set the record straight on what Jeff said (they're "journalists," shouldn't an opportunity be given when serious attacks are made ?), and I never will be. That's who those guys are, that's how it goes...

But, yeah, I still kinda like the site mainly for that Ys article and other occasional interesting stuff... It's having to separate the quality of work from an ahole and the ahole from quality of work (which yes, can be a very difficult thing to do!)... Even with John, a few here like jeffhlewis can vouch for the work he did on his book. Content you wouldn't have gotten from anywhere else. Most people are happy with the purchase of said book (anecdotally from what I've seen), but just didn't care for all the drama he pulled on his Kickstarter updates.

I think that Punch was just talking about how poor too many of their articles are. Many people seem to jump at the chance to do one just for the sake of it. Too many spend more time pushing ignorant theories and stereotypes than providing any more insight about a game than you would pick up from watching a few minutes of gameplay on youtube or reading the first couple paragraphs on a game's wiki page.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Also, Spida1a , another bad ass video from the king of NEC reviews - hell yeah!! Thanks for keeping up with the series and putting in all of the work that goes into making such a quality production - it's very much appreciated. I think I've rewatched your turboviews videos more than any other youtube or tv show, it's just so awesome hearing the opinions of a veteran player who can actually tackle some of these ultra difficult games!

Amidst a current furious love affair growing with Ys, long overdue I know, this is awesome to have up and glance through at work while I wait to get home and finish off books 2 :P

Thanks so much for sharing!
Beware, an emulator was likely used to play all/most Ys titles to produce that article, NOT very "hardcore" of HG101, therefore you should not appreciate anything in there... ;) Real men know to play games on real hardware in order for true appreciation to be derived... Any other experience is fake and unworthy...

P.S. You're welcome BTW. :)

What was inaccurate in his article? Honest question. I see a lot of HG101 hate here but most of his reviews seem to align with what I've read here and on TBD.
Honestly every time there's a multiple port comparison it's always obvious they just played the "lesser" versions for 10 minutes each. The Darius article comes to mind, some minor stuff here and there but I'm not the one named "Hardcore Gaming 101" :P
Sometimes they do it for the "main" games of an article too. Some don't even go beyond the obvious, low hanging fruit. I think they're the best in highlighting some obscure games to western audiences and when they actually do some decent research (almost everything that came from their kickstarter is gold regardless of John's drama).

Exactly, the point isn't that using emulators to take screenshots is bad, it's that too many of the articles read like an Arthur D Wolf rom list video.

I thought it was funny years ago, when hardcoregaming101 first posted their multi-page Tengai Makyou article and after skimming through it and it seemed alright, I then saw my name as the only reference at the end. :P

Looks like they give no credit and don't list any sources now. :/

If you wanna keep needling me on this forum, but then expect it not to antagonize me, then the problem's yours. That is and has been your intent!

As for HG101, that particular author didn't earn its enemies, nor did he earn its friends; he deserves to be judged on his own merits. Yes, you can't escape some baggage depending on the platform you're published on, but I'm wondering if every time I share an HG101 article, you'll just crap on it with generalizations out of hand due to other authors. In retrospect, I should've just ignored you rather than let Chris' thread get ruined with this tangent and be antagonized further by your BS.

To me, the majority of articles written on HG101 are alright. Better than other reviews on the more commercialized gaming websites. For those games that I like, e.g. the Parodius, Mega Man, Gradius, Valis and Puyo Puyo writeups, the author's opinions pretty much matches with mine. Others maybe not that much, but that's just fine to me, I accept that tastes are different.

If I'd write in-depth videogame reviews, they would likely read like bullshit, because I'm bad at it.


Back to topic, thanks for uploading your new Sinistrom review, Chris!

I usually check out HG101 when I'm bored, but I never take their articles seriously. There's never any sort of accurate in depth review of anything. The articles are very generalizing IMO. Especially when it comes to ports, and you can usually tell when an author hasn't played more than 10 mins of some port just for the sake of the article acknowledgement. I appreciate it for what it is, but I don't pretend HG101 is something it's not. Like I said, it's a decent site for generalized information spanning a wide range of games and platforms, with the "hardcore" part being the misnomer.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel about it from the articles I've seen. Some are hefty in writing at times, so I don't always read the whole thing unless I'm really interested in it, and speaking of which, wow, that Mega Man series special (http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/megaman/megaman.htm), I recall Kurt said it hit well over 50,000 words or something!!! I caught 8 errors for them on the 1st page, but no way was I gonna finish reading all that... I skimmed the rest and checked out the eye candy.

Hey, thanks Gredler!   I appreciate that, I truly do.   


SavagePencil ... I play my games on an actual TurboDuo and record the footage through an old SONY Handycam Digital-8 Camcorder.   Then, I capture that footage into my computer (making script notes as I do) and "up-convert" the final video slightly for YouTube upload.   So .. I have never used emulation but rather the actual hardware to play every game in my review from day one. :)   

Thanks!

Before I got a Framemeister + Elgato, I was using a DVD recorder for all of my game footage, then ripping the DVD on my computer.  It was a real pain in the ass, but I didn't know that I could just buy a Digital8 camcorder off of eBay and use the video inputs on in, nor did I know that you could hook those camcorders up to your computer.  So much time, I wasted...

Post by: ChrisBucci on 07/11/2016, 05:58 PM
Well, I mean ... it is probably an old-fashioned, outdated way of doing things.   Ha ha!   But, that's the way I started doing the series back in 2008 / 09 and I just continued the same way.    I like playing the games using the original hardware (so I can put myself back in that time).  Plus, it helps me to take "notes" as I capture the footage as to things I want to make sure to mention in the review itself.   You know?   

Although ... my Digital8 camcorder only goes out via Firewire into the computer.  So, I had to pickup a FW card when I updated the computer.   Doh!  :)

Post by: SavagePencil on 07/11/2016, 06:15 PM
Well kudos to you, then.  I've been working with getting a good, consistent capture setup combo for audio & video so that I can assess and improve my performance on shmups.  I was surprised at how annoying it can be.  I figured with all the editing you had to do that you would play through on natural hardware but maybe cheat a little with an emulator for save states, reaching the end, etc.  They were already impressive but now they're...even more impressive.

I think it's a totally cool way to do it.  I was just saying that it seems way easier than the method that I was using.  I too will only use actual hardware on my channel, but the DVD recorder setup was sub-optimal because I would waste a ton of time always trying to get the DVD rip settings just right.  The method I'm using now is definitely the best way to do it, but it also cost me over $400.  A used Digital8 camera and a Firewire -> Thunderbolt cable would have been much cheaper (although the imagine quality wouldn't have been as good...)

Nothing bad with camcorders and dvd players, if I recall correctly that's how most of the AVGN episodes' game footage were made, with just a simple DVD player + recorder bonus.

My DVD recorder actually also has a hard drive in it, but no way to get the footage off except by burning it on to a DVD.  Not sure why they didn't give it Firewire capability, because it's from that time period.

Some highlights/thoughts:

* Worked in a nice honorable mention to the late great Harold Ramos upon encountering an equipment item named "Egon's Shield."

* Forgot Victor Ireland couldn't get a font hack job done, used the crappy S-JIS 16x16 system font throughout the game. Looks funny.

Hey Chris,

I was active in the community, and was running PC Engine Retro Magazine for a few issues in around 2008, then life got busy and other things took priority. My 5 year old son has taken on a passion for the Turbo Grafx 16, and I can now enjoy the system with him, which is awesome. I recently decided to jump back on here a few days ago and catch up with some old acquaintances, as it is nice to just relax and enjoy our favorite console. I ran across this post, and checked out your Youtube page. I am quite sure you have had many people already say this, but amazing work man. Your reviews are top notch quality work. Keep up the great work.

Back when the oval office wasn't oval and had a giant flag painted on the wall, and you had to be careful not to hit your head when going through the door. Good times.

edit: seriously, the time travelling aspect of the original game is interesting, if I understand it right the game had you going after the US president and the USSR PM in the "90's", that would have been fun to do in the PCE version.

Yup.

I remember when Zigfried (?) (one of the oldtimers) was explaining the original plot to XZR... I thought he was making up crazy shite. Honestly.

Anyway, about that American flag: I love it because it is exactly what a kid does when they draw a flag...13 stripes (+/- 40 stripes) and 50 stars  (+/- 40 stars).

Not necessarily. I remember him saying that there would be 5 DVD sets in total. Volumes 4 and 5 would contain a little more than the rest perhaps?

It was always questionable but ... at this point, volume 4 will follow the previous (with 25 reviews).    The final volume will have the final 35 (at least that is the plan, ha ha).   

Who knows ... by then DVDs will be dust and we'll have them implanted directly into the brain.  :)

And I agree about Ballistix, I have the PC-Engine version. I usually love those kind of simple fun titles that depicts some strange fictional sport. But this game just isn't fun, no matter how hard I tried to like it.

Finally got around to watching a few of these, and I think you do a great job of reviewing these games. My favorite thing about game reviews and top tens, is that it lets someone give their opinion about a game and why it's good/bad. A good reviewer can coerce me into playing a game that I wouldn't have otherwise given a shot.

I started your playlist of Turbo Views. My only complaint is that they are reverse chronological order. So, if you don't change the video manually, you end up watching the second, then the first part of a review. I've seen this with other youtubers, so does the youtube format just make it difficult to make a playlist in reverse?

Loved the soundtrack especially, right along next to Super Star Soldier, overall always had a good time with this game, plenty of replay value even after beating it. As for the sequel Dragon Saber, eehhh, no so much love there, the soundtrack is not memorable, I just beat it and pretty much never bothered with it again.

TurboViews tackles Capcom's legendary Street Fighter II: Champion Edition!

Chris "TurboViews" Bucci, a PCE pillar of the TurboGrafx-16 community, will focus on import HuCards after a decade+ of reviewing every US TG-16 game wraps up (https://www.facebook.com/groups/65214321555/posts/10157780429996556/). A New Challenger Appears, the world phenomenon of "Street Fighter II" which prolonged the declining arcade business! Its arrival on consoles was a big deal. With a TurboExpress and region adapter, you were the cool kid on the block, best portable port at the time if you were lucky! Turns out Chris was one of those kids, even bringing it to school to show off, heh. ; )

(https://www.pcengine-fx.com/images/SFIICE-TurboExpressViews.gif)

I joined the SFII arcade craze with the Hyper Fighting upgrade and at first I didn't understand the appeal of 2 fighters over a static background (I understood Double Dragon/Ninja Gaiden co-ops, the traveling/adventure/stages, not this!), but eventually I got hooked along with Mortal Kombat and dropped countless quarters throughout my High School days. For home consoles I began with the SFII:World Warrior SNES port, but regretted I didn't wait for the HF upgrade... I never dreamed of import shopping off gaming mags, it took Dracula X & Ys IV to make that leap later, so I missed out on the PCE port. By then, SNES ports satisfied the need so it was moot. Anyway, click/watch below for the YouTube Retroview to see what Chris has to say! :thumbsup:

Guess I need to hurry up, get the chatbox back up again for quick hellos/catchups; I surely didn't expect to see you again, but trust you're doing well. If you're on Facebook, Twitter, or Discord BTW, add it to your profile; makes it easier for someone to catch up when old members/veterans randomly wander back.

I think that's your correct avatar, I know I embedded/saved it, but I wondered if that was a placeholder from the host, if not, feel free to patch it before you disappear. (It's all part of my image recovery scripts (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/fixavatars.php?show=all), so threads/posts are less broken from lost images to better archive ~20 years of PCE history/legacy with some Wayback aid).

I'm still not very happy with the state of the forum/software; the SMF 2.1 core was only a mild catch-up/improvement, but it's still way behind XenForo and even ProBoards where you don't have to deal with maintenance yourself (compelling reason to switch).

Anyway, given the bump to this thread, might as well share details on Chris Bucci's new Turbo Views channel update I noticed just now via Facebook! Ah, you noticed it also; I didn't read your whole post, I was still shocked at the "hi all" and that it was you, heh.

I'm doing well - it's been a very long time.  I hope you are also.  I'm still an avid Turbo fan, but very much out of the collection/website hosting space these past few decades.

Haha no definetely the wrong avatar - it was hosted on turbo2k.net which went bye-bye many moons ago (surprised the domain is still up for grabs).  It's not the only thing out of date in my profile - I'm not even in the same country anymore :)  I had a look through Dropbox and found this, I think this was the one I used:

I second that.  Chris is a legend.  I was very flattered in his Mysterious Song review when he mentioned the voice acting was on par with OG Turbo CD games :)
