I AM ADDICTED


and that's just by emulating it. I do think this will be my next PCE purchase

I played Don Doko but didn't like it as much, haven't tried Rainbow Islands either.

That's all THANKS!

I need to spend more time with it.  I used to play it on the Amiga, and I remember it being one of those games that you just 'get' more the more you play it.

Don Doko Don looks fun but then you play it and it's like "goddamn this is kinda boring"

It doesn't flow as well.   It's still OK, but Parasol Stars bitchslaps the game around.
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!

It's my favorite hu card game. Plenty of replay value too.

It really does. I like the art direction but it just doesn't compare.

I recently tried Bubble Bobble 2 (emu as well of course) and I was quite hooked, but there's just something to Parasol....

obviously, it's the Obey factor. Gotta be it ;)

The music is fantastic as well, and I love how frenetic it gets when you start running out of time. And just like most of Taito's other action puzzlers you have to jump through some hoops to get the good ending.

Parasol Stars is one of the penultimate TG-16 games.  It's utilizes the amazing color palette, has great tunes and has wicked addictive gameplay that is entertaining to both genders and most age groups (if you are an old curmudgeon and can get over the cute and rainbow-bubbly factor, then it'll rock).

One of the best games on the system.  Great to play 2 players and compete for top score!

Rainbow Island is shitty compared to Parasol Stars.

I agree with everyone else. Love this game. One of the few 2 player games I had back in the day, and I played the shit out of it. I also agree it's better than Rainbow Islands. Don Doko Don has been on my want list for a while because it looked vaguely like Parasol Stars. I'm somewhat disappointed to hear it's not as good, but I'll still get it at some point. :)

Giant animated sigs are gone, though sigs still remain mostly pointless.  :wink:

I second that! Parasol Stars is awesome and much better than Don Doko Don in my book. And the two player-mode is a bomb!
I also advise you to unlock the extra worlds (Bubble Bobble World and Chack'n Pop world) if you can - it is really tricky to do, you have to complete the game with three miracle stars in stock. This is hard because the last world only contains two, so you have to save one before you reach it (at least I think so, never managed to find more that two stars in the last world myself, but maybe a third one exists). These extra worlds also lead to the real ending of the game :)

There's actually 5 star elements on the final planet and you can get a headstart on collecting them by beating the Boss of the previous planet. The rainbow necklace automagically unlocks secret road for you if you are lucky enough to find it.

It might actually be 4 (I think there is only room for error to miss 1 star)...I haven't played since topping the leaderboard with my high score but I do recall sometimes stressing to get the final star on the stage with the Revenge of Doh head if I haven't gotten the Rainbow Necklace. I'll try to get some screen shots this weekend to help you out. Getting the red ball of death for the final boss is even more difficult than opening the door to secret road. I've only gotten it 3 times but it instantly transforms him into his second form.

Gotta pick up the stunned robot and huck him at the star element (and get the potion along with it but it is impossible to clear the bonus stage)

The Vampire and the Revenge of Doh head do a good job of guarding this star element.

Parasol Stars is a great game. Unfortunately very easy to get extra continues.

I got a extremely weird glitch in the game once. After I beat the 1st boss I think, all enemies in the game were frozen in place, not able to move or attack. This included bosses too. I did this for around 3 worlds, and then I got bored and turned off the game...

I played through a couple of games today. Got to 3-3.  I think the key is patience.  Every time I died, it was something silly I did.

The hidden dynamics, I don't really understand yet.  But I think I'm gonna be playing more of this.
