What Turbo game are you currently playing?

machomadness · 10/28/2011, 02:58 AM

I'm playing Bonk's Adventure, Alien Crush, and New Adventure Island on my PSP and Lords of Thunder, R-Type Complete CD, and Fantasy Star Soldier on my Duo.

Robknoxious1 · 10/29/2011, 05:38 AM

I just finished playing through Dracula X for the first time in many, many years. I've kinda been playing Lords of Thunder but mainly just messin' around with it to hear the soundtrack more so than making a serious run at completing it. Also I've been playing Blazing Lasers.

I'm trying to decide if I want to play the first Dungeon Explorer or just skip to DE2 which I prefer. Decisions, decisions

Looks like you got a full plate there. All great games (well honestly I can't recall Fantasy Star). Lords of Thunder is a great shooter and has that epic metal sound track. Good choices.

munchiaz · 10/29/2011, 06:20 AM

^ i should be pciking up a copy of Lords tomorrow from a local shop. to bad its just the disc. But It's one of the turbo duo games ive wanted to play since i picked up my pc duo-r about a month ago. So i'm looking forward to it

If you ever decide to pick up a complete copy of the game, hang on to the loose disc for your stereo to listen to the soundtrack.

JapanTokei · 10/29/2011, 11:02 AM

Hoobs are you playing Downtown Nekketsu?

I know, but what disappoints me the most is that in Japan, they have almost 100 games released on the PSP, but here in America, we only have a handful.....

roflmao · 10/29/2011, 03:31 PM

For the past couple of days I've been trying to get through Final Soldier with using any continues, and I can consistently make it to the 5th level boss but then he squashes me like a bug. I beat the game a couple of months ago, so now I'm just trying to do it without continuing.

nat · 10/29/2011, 06:49 PM

Try Final Soldier on Hard mode for a real challenge.

roflmao · 10/29/2011, 08:05 PM

I can only imagine. I'm not terribly skilled at shmups, but it doesn't stop me from playing them!

Btw, I just realized Star Parodier has an Easy mode today. I was breezing through it this afternoon and had made it to Level 6 without losing a life when my son woke up from his nap and I turned it off. I've made it to the final boss a few times recently on Normal mode so was hoping to finally beat the game. Maybe later tonight. I'm so close to beating it on Normal, I think I'll just go back to that.

munchiaz · 10/30/2011, 12:50 AM

well i picked up lords of thunder and star parodier today. So playing some of those. will go through parodier first, then move on to lords.

machomadness · 10/31/2011, 12:31 AM

With Magic Engine on my MAME Cabinet, I've been playing Bonk's Adventure, Blazing Lazers, Gradius, and Salamander. Never thought the day would ever come that I could play those Turbo games with an actual Arcade Joystick!

JapanTokei · 10/31/2011, 02:30 PM

Guys - help! I just cant seem to dive into Dungeon Explorer 2 after getting that in a trade from Bluebeamer. It seems difficult to just jump in as one player mode and wandering around like other more linear games like Ys.

Any advice? I really want to get into this!

While i wait for your pointers, i am plowing away at Ys part 2. Just got into Solomon Tower. Cant wait to beat this! Beatin part one last year was awesome- finally getting to spend the time to finish part two! My fav game of all time for sure. Used to play the sheit out of this too on Sega sms!

nat · 10/31/2011, 08:01 PM

Have you played through Dungeon Explorer I first? You might want to do that to get acquainted with the gameplay first, as it's slightly more linear.

If you already have, then I'm not sure what more advice people might be able to give.

allyourblood · 10/31/2011, 08:28 PM

I played Don Doko Don and Image Fight today. Both are tough games. Image Fight does so many cool things though, I'm surprised I don't hear about this game more often. Can't wait to get good enough to get deeper into the game. If the innovations keep up, this is an impressive title.

roflmao · 10/31/2011, 11:17 PM

Parasol Stars arrived in the mail today (thanks again offsidewing!) so I played that some. Y'know, to get into the Halloween spirit.

Oh, I also recorded a few Air Zonk gameplay videos for my Youtube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/turbografxnerd

A_Locomotive · 11/01/2011, 01:25 AM

Played a little Space Harrier after work.

JapanTokei · 11/01/2011, 06:14 AM

Don Doko Don needs to be played via both players to maximize the pleasure. It is tough as there are a lot of unexpected enemy twist, etc. but I think after a few re-runs, it gets better. I'm liking it more and more. Great hidden gem.. I personally discovered it myself early last year after trying a ROM image of it, then proceeded to track down a copy

Another one I highly recommend is PUZZLE BOY. That game is awesome, obscure too. I got a beatup copy for $5. I like it so much I'm looking for a full complete copy to put in my perm. collection

Was playing through Magical Chase on every difficulty last week. Been playing Strider a bit recently.

beat star parodier on easy mode today.

I MUST pick up that game.

played some Air zonk today. game is so awesome

jlued686 · 11/06/2011, 01:51 AM

Had a great night with Legendary Axe 2, Ordyne, and Dead Moon. Underrated games, for sure.

A_Locomotive · 11/06/2011, 01:12 AM

Today I set about breaking my personal best on Alien Crush... which I only just set yesterday.

Now its time to go play some Veigues Tactical Gladiator and see if I can actually make some progress in it, damn is it tricky to play.

futureman2000 · 11/06/2011, 07:51 AM

Started a game of SMS Golvellius this morning. Just a revisit, didn't write down the password...

SuperPlay · 11/06/2011, 03:19 PM

Pomping World (Buster Bros).

This is one of those games that makes me go AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

But I just cannot put it down :-)

munchiaz · 11/06/2011, 08:34 PM

been playing air zonk. got to the end a few times and keep dieing. i think i was fighting the end boss wrong.

JapanTokei · 11/13/2011, 04:36 AM

just curious - is there even an ending to Alien Crush? I have the PCE version and it has a much better cover-art compared to the overprinted-TG version.. but i get antsy sitting there for hours trying to find an ending!

Damon Plus · 11/24/2011, 10:32 AM

Air Zonk is the one I'm playing of the 11 games I received yesterday. Graphics and Music are great, but I got to the last stage on my first play, where I got my ass kicked. The Turboviews guy was spot on when he said that was inconsistent difficulty. Also, the small Zonk power-up appears too much. Other than that, it is a really cool game, lived up to the hype for me.

chany60126 · 11/27/2011, 06:14 PM

Over the holiday weekend I beat Keith Courage, Blazing Lazers and Dungeon Explorer II.

Just started playing Ys III.

PunkCryborg · 11/27/2011, 06:44 PM

Dang chany you must've been motivated! Yah beating blazing lazers feals like a real accomplishment when you finally get the one credit clear, congrats!

allyourblood · 11/28/2011, 04:21 PM

Played some Batman over the last few days (wonderful game!), as well as a bit of Yo Bro. Gettin' busy 'round these parts with Christmas coming up, so I haven't had as much time to play as I'd like.

RED ALERT!!

HercTNT · 11/29/2011, 01:17 PM

Friend of mine bought me a duo-rx pad for an early christmas present and I used it to play through Air Zonk last night. I know many people dont like the D-pad on the rx controller but i think it depends on the size of your thumbs. For me it was extremely comfortable. Next game I'm going to play through hopefully will be Y's 4.

geise · 11/29/2011, 01:39 PM

Ys 4 is awesome! Enjoy the journey. I'm currently playing some Dead Moon again thanks to Windy.

snickersbar · 11/29/2011, 02:54 PM

I'm playing Cross Wiber

Veigues! I have always had a soft spot for this game.

Different weapons help for different areas (the chest gun is useful at times! no joke! same goes for the power punch).

The "vernier" (hovering) is fun in Veigues. Most games would severely limit this ability, but Veigues has just the right balance (not too little/not too much).

TANGENT: In Karnov (NES), which, like Veigues, is under-appreciated, there were lots of different power-ups. Well, I love the WINGS that allowed you to fly in Karnov. Sure, there was a time limit in Karnov (in regard to flying), but both games achieved the proper balance (IMO).

I wish some of the boss fights were more inspired in Veigues, though.

Yo' Bro, huh? If you are like me, you will greatly enhance your enjoyment if you play some of your own tunes instead of subjecting yourself to hours of weak PSG tunes. Honestly, the levels can take a long time to complete in Yo' Bro and even semi-decent music would have helped lessen the monotony.

The later levels are challenging, IMO, so don't pussyfoot around.

Word up.

munchiaz · 12/08/2011, 09:19 PM

started playing Ys book 1 last night. pretty awesome so far. love the music

Wait till you get to book 2.

Been in a gaming funk the last few days. Haven't been in the mood to play more then a few battles in World Of Tanks each day before work. :/

PsychoChaser.

Every year or two I make a pledge to sink my teeth into it.

I have to give PsychoChaser a chance!

I've played that some with mednafen and find it to be alright. If I can find it for a few bucks, I'd buy the Huey.

I'm a sucker for any title with "Psycho" in it.
