[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Tatsujin is kicking my ass!]

Yeah, Tatsujin/Truxton is one tough shooter. Doesn't it start something like with you getting a few waves of easy enemies, then !BOOM! two mini-boss ships assault you very early in the first level?

I haven't played the TG version yet, but remember thinking the Genesis version was a bit subpar. Take away the difficulty and it's pretty vanilla...and I prefer my shooters to have some appeal other than being hard.

I'll have to play the TG one to see if my feelings for it are any better.

[General Gaming / Battle of Olympus]

With the exception of the password system, a great and challenging game.

The only game with a worse password that I played was The Guardian Legend. I can't count the times I screwed up a password and lost an afternoon of progress on that game......the funny thing is that (if I remember correctly) both BoO and TGL were released in America by the same company.

[General Gaming / dragon warrior/dragon quest thread]

DW2: A bit better. Like GUTS said, it's still slow-paced, but has its moments. I love the moment you get your ship and the cave to Rhone is a BRUTAL dungeon (although made easier on the Super Famicom's Dragon Quest 1-2 compilation.

DW3: Very good game. I found the beginning to be slow, but after you get through the Tower of Shanpane, the game really picks up in tempo. The class-changing thing is cool, but none of your other characters besides the hero have any personality. The hero really doesn't either.....but at least he has a purpose, the rest of the characters are just random people recruited.

DW4: A personal fav of mine. I love the chapter system and the game (for the most part) moves at a good pace. Like mentioned above, the only problem is that in the final chapter, all allies are auto-controlled, which was stupid.

[General Gaming / Famicom Bonk = Horrible]

I don't know that it's that horrible, but I believe that a number of sub-levels were cut due to memory limitations, making it a smaller game.

I guess it'd be cool to play if you wanted to play a Bonk game and had no access to a TG-16 or an emulator, but if you played the TG-16 version, the only reason to touch this one would be out of curiosity.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / 1941 Counter Attack preview from Super Gaming]

1941 was a pretty fun game. I also liked Darius Plus, which also was a SG game. Still have to play Aldynes and also the (I think) SG version of Ghouls and Ghosts.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / NE One gotten thru Keith Courage??]

Ah....Keith Courage....

One of those games that didn't leave a positive impression on me. Pretty generic platformer that got old quick when I played it.
