[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Ys 1-2]

 I have wanted to play Ys ever since it was first released, like, 15 years ago....
 And now (supposedly), it's being released on my friggin' birthday.

 Couldn't be more appropriate.

 The pessimist in me is expecting something to happen to screw this all up. I'm betting that my internet craps out for some reason on Monday.

 By the way, how exactly are we supposed to pronounce the name of this game? I always say "Wise", but I've heard other people say "Ease".

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / So, Do You Think There Will Be Any More TG-16 Games on the Virtual Console?]

 Virtual-Turbo.com is shutting down, as its owner feels the lack of TG-16 games on the VC is likely to continue....
 This depresses me, as there are so many more Turbo titles I would like to play.

 And Nintendo is really annoying me with the terrible job they've done lately with the Virtual Console, in general. this Wiiware crap just doesn't appeal to me.

 Anyone else feel the same?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Instant collection]

 Crap....
 If only I hadn't already blown my economic stimulus money.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: TurboGrafx-16: One of the 10 Most Underrated Consoles]

 The Gamecube was actually one of my all-time favorite consoles....
 The games weren't very numerous, but the ones I had were among the best I've ever played.

 And I never really liked Super Mario Land.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: So ... why the turbografx, anyway?]

 I totally agree about the colors....
 When I've tried to explain that to others, they've always looked at me like I was insane or something.

 Glad to see someone else gets it.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Saying hello to an old friend]

 I used to love the TG-16 around the early 90s....
 I got on board late in the game -- the system was only 100 bucks by the time I ordered one from Sears.

 Since I was only about 11 or 12 at the time, I was very limited in what TG-16 games I could get; never even tried a CD game...until years later, when E-Bay, and adulthood,  made all things possible.

 E-Bay has also enabled me to get ahold of a TG-16 once again, as well. My original Turbografx was smashed to bits by some jerk who burglarized my home when I was about 14.

 I STILL would love to try a Turbo Express....

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Debate Topic:Given Bonk's Revenge, is there any reason to play Bonk's Advent]

 While Bonk's Revenge is vastly superior to Bonk's Adventure, I still think there's value in playing both....
 That way, you can see how the series progressed from the first installment and beyond.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: OK, Help With Yet Another Game (Neutopia 2)....]

 Thanks, folks....
 Sure enough, I had somehow missed the shield I needed. I went back, got it, and beat Dirth on the first try.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / OK, Help With Yet Another Game (Neutopia 2)....]

 I have fought the main boss, Dirth repeatedly, and have died several times....
 Here's the thing: I'm not sure if I ever got the Sun Shield, which an old man warned me I'd need to face Dirth.

 First of all, is it possible to defeat Dirth without the shield?
 And secondly, is there an easy way I can find out if I even have the shield?

 Thanks for any help!

 (By the way, I'm not sure if this forum is even intended for people to always be asking for help in games like this. If my repeated threads of that nature are inappropriate, just let me know. My apologies!)

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: More Help with a Game (JJ & Jeff) Please....]

 I still haven't beat it....
 I just slowly plug along, resuming my game for 5 or 10 minutes at a time on the VC.

 My God, this game has a lot of cheap deaths.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Talespin sucks]

 Heh....
 I actually had Talespin back in the day.

 And I LIKED it! I found the ending, in particular, to be inspiring.

 Of course, I was only about eleven at the time.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: More Help with a Game (JJ & Jeff) Please....]

 I thought it was absolute crap the first few times I played it, but have since found it oddly soothing....
 You can just sit back and mindlessly play it, being slightly entertained, but not emotionally involved.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: More Help with a Game (JJ & Jeff) Please....]

 Thanks a heap!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Dynastic Hero on VC...]

 I can't believe how much memory this game uses....
 Well over 200 blocks. Nintendo really needs to address this lack of a hard drive.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / More Help with a Game (JJ & Jeff) Please....]

 OK, so there's a point about three levels in, where you encounter a cliff....
 At the edge of this cliff is a springboard. If you jump on the springboard, the game sends you back to the previous level.

 Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and can anyone tell me what I'm supposed to do here?

 Thankee!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Bravoman Question. Please Help.....]

 Bah!
 I still can't seem to get that damn code to work.

 And, yes -- I too have come to the conclusion that Bravoman is impossible without the cheat code.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Ys 1-2]

 I've been waiting for months for Ys to be released on the Virtual Console....
 I never got to play it back in the day, and I can tell that it's exactly my kind of game.

 WHY, NEC, with all the delays?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Bravoman Question. Please Help.....]

 The delivery business is WONDERFUL....

 Anyway, thanks for your answers. I suspect that I may be doing something wrong in entering the code. The "Continue from the exact spot where you died" code works for me, so why wouldn't the other one?

 By the way, it IS basically impossible to beat this game without the continue code...right?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Bravoman Question. Please Help.....]

 I know it's a shot in the dark, but....
 I was wondering if anyone here happens to know much about Bravoman -- in particular, the VC version. See, for the life of me, I can't get the infinite continues code to work. No matter what I do, it just won't work, even though I believe I'm following the instructions. Can anyone help, or at least verify that it works on the VC?
 
 Am I supposed to get EXACTLY 10,000 points and then die? And am I supposed to do this on my LAST continue to get a true game over, or can I do it with any life? Do I enter the code on the screen where Doctor Bomb tells me I have X-number of continues left, or do I wait until it resets to the title screen?

 And I'm using the Gamecube controller. The Z-Button translates to the Select button on the TG-16, right?

 If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.
