I finally played all the way through Cadash on the TG-16 yesterday, and it's so interesting seeing the differences between the Turbo version and the Genesis/MD one. I like the atmosphere of the MD version better, but the brighter colors of the turbo version are also appealing. The music is a mixed bag in both. It's very hard to discern which one's better, but I think the TG-16 version wins simply for having all 4 characters from the arcade playable

It has been over two decades since I played through Shining in the Darkness. The past couple days that is all I have been playing. I love it! I think it's time to go through the whole Shining Series up to the Saturn stuff. PS2 shining series makes me cry.

Played some more Cadash today, as the Priestess. That was fun, until I got to the forest level & got my ass handed to me by the giant worm.

Also played a little Silent Debuggers. I'm figuring it out little by little, but damn things get intense when the aliens start invading the core blocks

Playing shantae and the pirate's curse 3ds. I like it. Definitely the best new game I've played for a while.

Been on a bit of an MVS kick lately. Mostly continuing to duke it out in Crossed Swords. Next month I will probably finally pick up Rondo, so the other stuff will definitely get put away for some time.

I really like the character designs in the Shantae games but I have yet to actually try one. I should load up the GB one one my flash cart and try it someday.

Id also highly suggest it as welll.Shantae and the pirates curse for 3DS&Wii U,for a 2D platfomer it's very well made.

Shubibinman 2 (Shockman).

How can anyone say this is a bad game? Sure, it gets pretty cheap at times, but hey...there's a cheat for that. So far, it's one of the best action platformers I've played on the system. And DAT SOUNDTRACK. I wish you didn't have to beat the game to get to the sound test, cuz damn. It seems just a little on the fast side, though...I'm willing to bet a lot of the songs would sound better if slowed down to, say, PAL speed. The instrumentation is great, though. It really shows the more FM side of the PCE's sound spectrum. Now I'm kinda curious to play the other two games, but they seem more hack & slash in style than run & gun.

Also, Chase HQ.

This was reasonably fun. I can't decide if I like the pseudo-3D effect better in this, or Outrun, but I do believe the latter is at least less choppy with the scaling.

It plays okay, though. My only regret (and this applies to both of these games) is that I got the PCE versions & didn't hold out for a deal on the Turbo versions, as Chase HQ is really missing something without the "Gotcha, Nancy!" and such. Then again, I'm not really willing to pay the ridiculous prices the Merican versions seem to go for. It's a dark day for turbob shopping indeed.

PukeSter · 02/21/2015, 07:11 PM

How does Chase HQ compare to the Genny or SNES games?

roflmao · 02/21/2015, 08:54 PM

I've been tinkering with the patch functionality of the Retron 5. I recently received Super Famicom Final Fantasy V and Slayers and spent a good chunk of today playing an English translation of FFV. And my son and I have been playing a fair amount of an EarthBound fan hack called EquestriaBound (A My Little Pony hack

). Also, my wife and I have been playing a hacked version of Tetris on the NES; 2-player simultaneous play!

I've been drooling over Kaze Kiri lately. The gameplay looks repetitive, but that presentation is most excellent. Also, any particular reason why all the redbook tracks sounds FM-style?

PukeSter · 03/06/2015, 10:59 PM

Today, I Beat Neutopia.
Also, I beat Mr Nutz on gameboy color. This is special for me, since I got to the final boss 8 years ago but never beat him.

Playing Zenki: Battle Raiden. Also might start Mega Turrican.

VenomMacbeth · 03/06/2015, 11:35 PM

Sat the baby down with me & played through the first three levels of Final Blaster mostly flawlessly, then it promptly whooped my ass thereafter. I've never made it that far so easily, though...

PukeSter · 03/07/2015, 02:30 PM

Did start Mega Turrican today. Also beat it.

An A+ game.

Barely did it on one continue too. I was on my last life when I beat the final boss.

Why has the Genesis verson spiked so much? Or has it always been a $100+ dollar game??

I'm not sure. I got my copy CIB at Pixels & Pawns for $26 last year, and even then loose copies were going for more than that.

roflmao · 03/07/2015, 08:51 PM

Last night I played through Ninja Spirit on the Express and I wanted to share a pic with you all, but my cellphone camera decided to be difficult:
/KgGM0sb0proVQAI3U9InzVRkTqWf65CuBdOI67J3jzo

So then I switched over to Double Dungeons and spent way too long trekking through one of the later levels. I finally took a pic of the password so I can pick it up again later.

Probably just demand, it used to be like a $25-30 game CIB regularly.

MAME still has graphic issues with Revenge of Death Adder. Use Modeler. It's an old ass system 32 emulator. Should work alright in win7.

Gynoug on genesis.. got to the last boss last night.. so close to beating it. Love this game

Rolling thunder 2 on genesis with gf. Loads of fun cooperating to find the best course of action and beat the level. I wish the the other rolling thunder's were 2 player.

Think I might start shining force CD soon

Yes! It's wicked! It can get really tough and frustrating at parts though. It's fun figuring out exactly what to do at certain points of the level. I'd definitely recommend it
