@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

Yo there, I managed to finish the game on the weekend on easy at least (after a long 2 hour playthrough!) and I did a review on Youtube and a written review on my website if anyone wonders what my opinions are on the game?

Yours should be en route.   I had some flu-jive going on so some of the shipments got delayed. 

What sucks is I can only get international stuff shipped out on weekends now because of work.  So if I get held up, I end up having to wait a week.  Lame.

No flu-jive symptoms (yet), but Canada Post decided to bust up one of the jewel cases.  No biggie as I have a crapload of spares.

Question for you about Insanity, I have never played it before.  The title screen seems to linger for quite a while.  Is that normal, or is my CD-ROM starting to die?  I'm using a TG-CD unit with SS 3.0 (USA) card.

100% chiptunes - I love this even more now.  To be  honest at first I hated the music, now I am humming it all day long.  Idk how you you got it to sound like that, but it's freaking amazing.

not only the instrument sounds the egyptian sound, just feels like something outside of the normal PCE range.  Maybe becuase no other game is similar?  I t just fits the game so well.  maybe not amazing just really good? fitting? ummmm...  idk what i'm going for here, but I like it.

Yeah.  It was a frustrating experience to get Egyptian sounding music, since it's out of my normal range of 80s dance music sounding stuff.   I'm happy with how the instruments and echo turned out.


Wait til you hear the end-game music.   It's not Egyptian at all, lol.

Okay, I didn't record it.  Some slacker forgot to charge the battery in the camera.  :roll:

I did time it.  I started the clock as soon as the AETHERBYTE logo came up on the screen.  It's stays there for 19 seconds before fading out.  If I compare it with Pyramid Plunder the logo disappears much more quickly.

I put PP (you said P-P  :lol: ) in tonight and played it.  What an awesomely fun game.  I love the boost feature.  Makes getting that one block you missed so much easier.  Made it up to 3-1 (I think).  Only saw one cut-screen so far, but it was awesome!  Anyway, the next thing I know I've blow 2 hours of my life.  My score was approximately 68,000+/- so I have a long way to go!

Thank you!  Just thinking about playing it is making me smile.  :D

Glad to hear you liked it. (And yes, PP is what we called it during development).
If you like the run feature, try playing with the power-ups :)

I think Insanity has to run through the wave effect at least once before it starts. You might be able to press a button or run to skip it, though. Been too long, I don't remember all the details.....

(fwiw: the long load times seem to be connected to an interrupt problem in homebrew games. It seems you can't have an active VSync interrupt going while loading an overlay from CD. Makes sense, sorta. Though reading data from a CD doesn't seem to pose the same problem.)

That seems a little bit slow, actually.   19 seconds is a long time.  It only takes ~8 for me.

Black Tiger:
Glad you enjoyed it. It gets better once you learn what the power-ups do :)

Some tips:
1) Don't chase the guys down. Try to head them off. They won't turn in straightaways, and it's usually quicker to have them run to you.
2) Use the pause after you grab the ankh. The guys freeze, and are easier to grab.
3) Press select to swap power-ups. You never got to see the other ones :(
   ( I know you got something other than pause when you grabbed that blue flower)

Glad to see someone actually playing it on normal.
