Talespin sucks

[nat]

It plays fine. You guys are just pussies.

[Sinistron]

first off-

TALESPIN RULES!!!!


Second off-

just kidding.



I want to give this Deep Blue a day in court though.  I remember always having the box in my hand, turning it over, feeling its weight when shopping for turbografx games back in the day.  I think the day is finally near!  Seriously though I think what attracts me the most to it is that it is in widescreen- now I don't have a widescreen tv but still- I can dream.

Like the saying goes - you are what you eat.

Deep Blue is far superior to Tale Spin imo.

i do agree with that statement : Talespin sucks. That's why I'm never gonna open my sealed copy of that p.o.s.
Thanks for reminding me, Nat ;)

And by the way, I love the first post of this thread.

,I'll go back and play it later tonight.  It's been so long, who knows...I might like it.

Those damned monkeys just kept bombing me with coconuts    I couldn't even make it past the first level

It's been a few months to a year since I've played Talespin, but for some reason i remember that the action revolves around platforming and throwing around tomatoes... not exactly what I think of when I remember the cartoon show...

Unlike Scrooge's pogo jumping around the world and Chip 'N Dale's platforming and throwing around apples...

Touche Tiger!

The difference for me is that with Talespin there is also a shooter for the NES that revolves around flying the plane... Most of my memories about the show tend to revolve around the plane...

Although, in Ducktales' favor, collecting gems and amassing a fortune (haha i remember Scrooge's voice as he said fortune in the cartoon LOL) is a big part of the game.

I don't remember the Tailspin plain having any cannons on it in the cartoon.

Those aren't cannon balls they're peeled coconuts!

 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.

So Necromancer, what'd you think of Talespin now that you've had a chance to play it?

[NecroPhile]

It blows syphilitic goats, to put it nicely; Darkwing Duck is much more playable, not that it doesn't also suck.  Maybe if I put more time into 'em, I'd get a little further and actually start enjoying 'em, but that sounds as unlikely as enjoying a prostate exam if it'd just last a bit longer.

Har! Har!

I hate to say it, but I actually like Tailspin. Not the greatest game ever, but far from the worst. I'll play it on occasion, er, once I score a copy again, that is.

[Sinistron]

Ok well obviously both of these games suck it hard.  It's all about who has more affection for which turd- not counting the truly sane ones who disregard both- or the true maniacs (they're out there!) who actually really dig both of these coiling turds.  It's funny- I do have affection for Talespin- but when I start thinking about that underwater level and how Nat played that level first and how long it's taken for him to play it for the first time especially after hearing all this affection for it- I start thinking maaaaan that must have been one sucky experience.     

[nat]

Yeah my first message in this thread pretty much sums up my feelings on that.

[esteban]

I got that boxed Darkwing Duck but I haven't had a chance to play it. When I do, I'll pull out good ol' TaleSpin and compare them.

Ghost Manor is still beckoning as well! Woohoo!

[Sinistron]

I love how this "Talespin Sucks" discussion is going 5+ pages

Ghost Manor rocks.
