Enjoying some Sapphire Booty on the on the PCE

csgx1 · 07/28/2011, 11:07 PM

Beat Aldynes for Super Grafx today. The last level, last stretch is brutal. Died countless times.

Anyone beat this game the 2nd time around, hard mode? I'm not even going to attempt it.

Mishran · 07/28/2011, 11:20 PM

Lords of Thunder... and I doubt I'll ever beat it. I suck at it pretty bad. But I have a fun time doing it.

When I get tired of dying, I'll probably play through Insanity again. Sapphire bootie next in line. I love me some Sapphire. Great game and even greater challenge. Die alot on that too.

DragonmasterDan · 07/29/2011, 05:26 AM

I played Last Alert

geise · 07/29/2011, 07:13 AM

Nice Dragon! I love that game! Voice acting and all! I am currently playing through Dungeon Explorer again. I have always loved that music. It's the best chip music to me.

It's hard to argue with that. To this day I can still hum a number of the tunes from Dungeon Explorer. Such great music...

JoshTurboTrollX · 07/31/2011, 06:36 PM

Popped a few minutes off on N Adventure Island! Practicing up for a new Till I die... lol

BlueBMW · 07/31/2011, 07:07 PM

Had to torture test a Duo repair job... ended up torturing myself with some Winds of Thunder.... I still cant beat that game! So close every time, but that last bit is HARD.

spenoza · 07/31/2011, 09:20 PM

The last boss is quite challenging, not to mention just getting to him.

geise · 08/01/2011, 02:05 PM

Got my ass handed to me in Gradius 2 at the 5th level. I am really good at almost all shooters, but Gradius always gives me a challenge, especially the arcade version of Gradius 3. Gradius 2 isn't as bad, but just like when you die "You need more practice!"

Damon Plus · 08/01/2011, 02:13 PM

Mostly Military Madness. I beat normal campaign first week, advanced campaign second week, and now I'm playing as the Axis side.

I play a bit of World Court Tennis too.

CapnCrunch53 · 08/04/2011, 05:49 PM

Bonk's Revenge. I got a few levels in the other night, but I was dead tired and called it quits. I think I'll give it another go tonight.

Lilgrafx · 08/06/2011, 02:50 PM

Just picked up bonks Adventure lose for $4 and made it to the last world before going to bed.

jlued686 · 08/08/2011, 09:28 PM

Ghost Manor. Holy hell, this game is infuriating. It's like Chutes n' Ladders on acid. I think I hate it, but I can't stop trying. It's gotten personal.

I feel the same way about the game.

jlued686 · 08/09/2011, 12:58 PM

Played Samurai Ghost for the first time ever last night. Wow...this game is absolute garbage. The way the main character moves is absolutely ridiculous. Made it to the third level before I shut off my Duo and shelved the game.

Oh well...one more game closer to a complete collection, I guess.

NecroPhile · 08/09/2011, 01:04 PM

If you think Samurai Ghost is absolute garbage, just wait 'til you play his older brother Genpei Toumaden.

I think you need to give it another shot. Either that or play it just after spending an hour or two with Nightmare Creatures!

I sunk about 30 minutes in N Adventure Island the other day again. Had a blast! I need more practice.

Hehe, who can forget those classic words at the game over screen: What a pity you are

VestCunt · 08/09/2011, 06:14 PM

I grew up playing a lot of Lord of the Sword and Kenseiden on the SMS, so my opinion of Samurai Ghost is pretty good.

I really like the unorthodox movements in Samurai Ghost. It sets it apart from other hack and slash games.

jlued686 · 08/09/2011, 08:33 PM

He almost looks like a marionette, which I guess is sort of cool. But it sure makes for some clunky gameplay.

Sadler · 08/10/2011, 01:40 AM

Legend of Xanadu 2—Fucking. Awesome.

First JRPG I've played without a translation. It's still fucking awesome. It's like Ys, but evolved. I fucking love it!

I'd do horrible things for a translation though.

Lilgrafx · 08/12/2011, 11:26 PM

I've been playing Fantasy Zone and Ordyne. I really like both games and a buddy's coming over tomorrow so I'll be able to play some 2-player Ordyne. Quick question can you get unlimited ammo in Fantasy Zone by buying all the engines? I know you can in the SMS port you can but I can't do it on the Turbo

SuperPlay · 08/14/2011, 04:04 PM

I have been gibing Bomberman '93 blast today :@)

Still need to get around to finishing YS Book 1&2.

Lilgrafx · 08/15/2011, 01:10 PM

Dungeon Explorer and Bomberman multi-player goodness

JoshTurboTrollX · 08/16/2011, 04:57 PM

motherfucking Lords of Thunder

roflmao · 08/16/2011, 06:40 PM

I played some Star Parodier until it went all wonky on me. I'm pretty sure it was the region converter, but at the time I thought I had unlocked something strange in the game.

The screen stared rolling and the audio repeated "staaaaar parodierrrrrrrr...." over and over in this low voice. It was actually pretty creepy.

Lilgrafx · 08/17/2011, 12:02 AM

New Adventure Island complete! great game.

csgx1 · 08/17/2011, 12:22 AM

Gradius II; Quite challenging but a lot of fun.

jlued686 · 08/17/2011, 11:05 AM

Last night, I played Psychosis for the first time ever. It's not the best shmup on the console by any means, but it is definitely one of the more interesting ones. It's very much a Naxat Soft game as many of the enemies looked like something out of either Alien Crush or Devil's Crush. The action's a little slow, but I really like the concept and the look of the game.

thrush · 08/19/2011, 01:49 PM

Still working my way through Cosmic Fantasy 2, and quite enjoying it. Pico is cooler than I remembered!

Maybe it's just that I'm used to 8-bit RPGs now, but I'm surprised by how forgiving this game is: hotels are free, items are plentiful, and most non-boss battle are predictable & easy. Does anyone know if it was toned down for NA, or is the Japanese version like this, too?

edit: Well, I just did the homework I should have done before asking this and it sounds like the answer is "the Japanese version is just as forgiving". Strange! But I still like the game; not everything needs to be wicked challenging.

GohanX · 08/19/2011, 02:53 PM

Cosmic Fantasy 2 has its faults, but overall I really enjoyed playing it.

I finally got a working TG16 again that I AV modded, and I've been going through my US hucards and finally playing them on an actual TV instead of the tiny TE screen. Everything in R-Type and Bonk is so big!

Mishran · 08/19/2011, 06:11 PM

Dragon Slayer. Just started chapter 2, but so far I like. Alot of necessary grinding though as you progress.

roflmao · 08/19/2011, 06:26 PM

My 3 year old can't get enough of the Crush games - I got just over 50 million on Devil's Crush this morning. Not a bad score for me.

Except Naxat had nothing to do with the Crushes (except pressing and publishing, of course)...

Compile developed and programmed the Crush games.

I have no idea who actually designed and programmed Psychosis, but I'd love to find out. It's possible Naxat did it in-house, I suppose.

I just finished Cadash again after about 18 years

geise · 08/21/2011, 03:54 PM

Popped in some Lords of Thunder.

It's been ages since I've played it, but I never get sick of it. It's one of those games I can always come back to and get a quick fix.

Family went to bed early tonight, got in three solid hours of OBEY!!

Continued onward in Emerald Dragon, just an amazing beautiful game. Finally got through the first mini dungeon, and met up with two new members of my party.
Screwed around a bit with Air ZONK on a harder difficulty. Ok, this game isn't as easy as I remembered.
Got to the crazy fast 'last level' of LoT before having to continue.
Blasted through 19 levels of Pac Land, before getting fed up with some nasty platforming. After finally giving this game some proper playing time, it really is pretty fun. Can't believe its taken me this long to get into it.

And of course had to blast through a few levels of Sapphire after getting my ass handed to me in Image Fight II (2nd Level....STILL).
Also spent 15 mins playing 'Takin' it to the Hoop'.. why is this game hated on so HARD? I actually found it pretty fun, and actually felt a bit more fluid than TV sports B-ball....

SuperPlay · 08/22/2011, 09:35 AM

Wow that is an action packed 3 hours :-)

GohanX · 08/22/2011, 01:35 PM

I spent most of my free time over the weekend playing Dragon's Curse for the first time. I love this game! I got to the (I think) last boss but got killed in a close fight.

Strange...Moby Games claims it was Naxat, as does Wikipedia. Of course, Wikipedia also says Compile developed them, so there goes that credibility.

Anyway, regarding Psychosis, it was apparently developed by Dual Corporation. At least, according to Moby Games.
http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/dual-corporation/

EDIT: Upon further research, it looks like Alien Crush and Devil's Crush were co-developed by Compile and Naxat. So perhaps we're both right? Maybe. So says the internet. So who the hell knows?

Awesome way to spend the evening. Pac Land is way more fun than I remember back in the day. I played a bit of it yesterday (My 3-yr-obey is a huge Pac Man fan) and I always dig playing it. Most games I prefer playing with the TurboStick, but this is one of the few the TurboPad is clearly better. The turbo switches are easier to flip mid-action. R-Type and the Crush games are also better on the Pad, IMO.

Today, I think for the first time, I made it to the last level of Gate of Thunder before hitting the continue screen. That's where I quit. Whew, the difficulty ramps up quickly! I freaking love this game.
