i don't know what it is worth, the rarity, or significance of this title. I've heard it's not as great as sapphire and good at best, but would still like to know more history about this title.

It uses the same game engine as Air Zonk. It's very similar in gameplay in that regard, and the graphics and music have the same sort of cartoony quality. If you've played AZ, Coryoon will feel very familiar. It's a very good game, but very easy. If you are patient you can find a copy for a decent price..... Around $40 is probably the best you can hope for, but I haven't been on the market for a copy of Coryoon for a number of years so that may have changed.

thats cool to know. it was really hard to see what was happening in youtube videos, they were bit grainy so all i could see was that it was a shooter

Here's a review from the Brothers Duomazov for this great lil' cute 'em up.

It's really good fun. Great music, lots of parallax, many sprites on screen, never a dull moment. Certainly worth tracking down.

I didn't know much of this game til now, thank you for the link to the review.

Air Zonk is easily a top 5 game on the TG16, and I'd be very interested in picking this up.  Any of you guys have a spare copy for sale?  :)

i was browsing "new pc engine" on ebay and it came up for 200. it showed up as unknown on my pc engine price guide, so i got a bit more curious. and after seeing he review it looks awesome. now ill be looking for a copy as wel. just not at 200 dollars

The only thing I didn't like about the game is all damn fruit flying everywhere.  Every time you kill something fruit flys out of it.  To me, as much of it goes flying around it just was annoying.
All is well. :)

yeah, you would.

makes it hard to pick when so many fruits are flying around, amirite?

;)
This "max-level forum psycho" (:lol:) destroyed TWO PC Engine groups in rage: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook "Because Chris 'Shadowland' Runyon!," then the other by Aaron Nanto "Because Le NightWolve!" Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together... Both times he blamed the Aarons in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

There is a code to turn off the fruit.

HAHA, $200 is ludicrous. At least wait until you find one for under $100.

i lost this game, yes, the current price ranges from US$90 to US$200, i suppose the it's become a rare game and it does not help when ebay seller push up it's price to cope with demand

Cant ever trust a BIN from japan and dont pay more than $100 for this game

I used to own this.. apart from some fantastic drum samples the game really didn't grab me and I had a tough decision on whether to keep it or sell.. I decided to sell it after a while which I did regret (especially since I sold it before youtube appeared)

there's too much stuff happening on screen and the designs I wasn't too fond off even tho I love cute stuff.  there is an hidden option to turn off some of those food and power-ups but then it becomes dull...

I advise you to pick it up as a pc engine collector, It is one of the better examples showing the pc engine's sprite handling and music department.  I can't remember how much I paid for it back in 2003~4 but it was a lil' cheaper than today's prices.

I'm surprised at all the hate over the fruit in this game; I always viewed the fruit as one of the game's charms.
