Turbo game you refuse to play on other systems

[chemdream]

What's one game on TG16, that just isn't as good on any other system. Only pick one, because I know there are many!

My #1 is Ys III. It just doesn't feel right on any other system. I actually remember going to my friend's house and he wanted to play it on SNES. I was laughing when I saw it!

Lords of Thunder.
My favourite game of all time, yet I've never played the Sega CD version.
I've seen screen shots and video footage and just doesn't look as good.

space harrier

It's not that I would refuse to play the other versions, because I always like experiencing the different ports of a game I love, but it is hard to go to any other console for Fantasy Zone when the port on the TG-16 is so solid. No slowdown like in the SMS version and way better colors than the NES port. Add in the stock turbo buttons and it is a no brainier.

River City Ransom, Street Fighter II, Super Dodgeball, Gradius and Salamander

[o.pwuaioc]

Gradius II, Lords of Thunder, all Ys (I-IV), Splatterhouse, Dracula X, Devil Crush (I think there was a Genesis game based on this)

[BigusSchmuck]

Non Turbo game (but might as well be) Ninja Gaiden. It's just so much better than the snes and nes ports even with the crappy parallax.

[chemdream]

Street fighter 2 surprises me. For me, that one just doesn't feel like the best port. But I'm actually used to playing it from an original pcb :-)


R type is another game I refuse on other systems. It's in my top 5 tg16 games!

I love playing different versions of games and appreciate even the bad ones for what they are and how they're unique.

With that said, the game that feel the strongest about not playing any other version of is Monster Lair. It's just not nearly as enjoyable without the Turbo/PCE soundtrack and always feels uncomfortable.

Hmmmmm...

I can only think of Non-Turbo games, at the moment.

That's funny. I was thinking of playing the other versions because I haven't experienced them in ages.

But then I have so many games on my backlog, I end up playing Ganbare Golf Boys instead.

I have to go with Bonk's Adventure. It seem ridiculous to me to be playing a inferior and the more expensive NES version.

[o.pwuaioc]

What about the Game Boy games? Though they're not really the same game, so doubt that counts.

I'd still rather play R-Type, Ninja Spirit, Magical Chase Bonks, Bomberman, New Adventure Island, Zipang, Lode Runner, Rainbow Islands, Parasol Stars, Mine Sweeper, Faceball, Gradius/II, World Heroes 2, Fatal Fury Special, Chase HQ, Double Dragon II, Galaga 88, Lemmings, etc on Turbo/PCE.

[pulstar]

Gradius & Gradius II, R-Type and Aero Blasters for me. Especially the Gradiuses (Or Gradii or whichever way you want to pluralise it).

[Gredler]

Pac-Land

[Dicer]

Any of them, OBEY all the way...

Well, no not all as Stated we got shafted on Golden Axe

[o.pwuaioc]

Wonder if it's easier to state the opposite...

[pulstar]

Wonder if it's easier to state the opposite...

Golden Axe and Strider come to mind...I'd rather play the Megadrive versions (if we're just counting conversions and not arcade originals).

Some would argue Dungeon Explorer for the SCD and Wonder Boy in Monster World too. Space Harrier is far better on the 32X.

[datbuta]

out of the 2 games i recently bought... I actually love playing sidearms than compared to my psp capcom collection version... i always play my psp before bedtime... but ever since i got my pce duo I've been sitting in front of the tv playing sidearms..

.. that and legendary axe...

[Damon Plus]

Militay Madness. I'm always thinking in getting thr remade Nectaris, but it seems those graphics made it lose its charm.

[cr8zykuban0]

Definitely dracula x

I have Serious love for R-Type on the TG. The rondo port seems way more fun than Super Castlevania 4. Like yes it is slower, but it feels more like the older NES ones, which I prefer. Bonks is way better on the TG as well. Have not played enough gradius to give my honest opinion yet.

[geise]

I have to go with Lords of Thunder as my main choice.  That was the game at the time slapping all the Sega CD fans in the face.  Then, the sega version came out and I was pissed, but happy to notice it was not as good.  Still a good game and interesting to see they kept some of the things that were on the Japanese Winds of Thunder version.  I also prefer the raw recording of  the Turbo/pc-e over the re-recorded Sega CD version.

[ClodBusted]

Well... let me think about it. The thing is, I've got some games that were released on other consoles, too. Like the Valis series, Winds of Thunder, Gradius I/II and Salamander. However, I've only played them on the Turbo so far, and that's why I can only judge by reviews that the Turbo versions of these games are seen often as the better ports.

In case of the Gradius and Salamander games, I would like to give the original Arcade versions a try. But I fear that these would be way too tough for me, since the console ports usually let me choose the difficulty.

EDIT: Now that I just won Salamander Deluxe for PS1 in an ebay auction, I'll definitely give the Arcade original a try. Although I wanted that game mainly for Salamander 2.

I'd rather play any multiplatform port on Turbob, because fuck other platforms.  OBEY or GTFO!!! 

If I have to pick just one, I'll go with Ys IV.  The SNES version may be canon, but it's turdy in every way compared to the PCE game.

Isn't YS IV for the Snes a completely different game? Oh yeah, the other game would be Wizardry 4. Much better in every way than the PC counterpart.

I didn't know the SFC Ys IV was considered canon.. that just doesn't seem right!  I will probably play through it one day on SFC (I have played a couple of minutes) but in my mind PCE Ys IV is true canon.

[johnnykonami]

Anybody feel this way about Might & Magic III?  Seems like a good version, just another title out of my reach for the moment so I've never played the Turbo version.

[Galder]

Tv sports basketball. Pressing the TE's button to score feels damn good, even if I am guessing what happens on its tiny screen sometimes.

[Psycho Punch]

Seriously I cannot accept the genesis chiptunes anymore after playing the OBEY-CD version.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Isn't YS IV for the Snes a completely different game?

There's lots of differences between the two, but the basic plot is more or less the same.

[fsa]

R-type for me, the other are not the same quality even delta and final.
