Introducing myself and Turbo Views......

Quote from: DesmondThe3rd on 01/27/2011, 11:42 AMIt was also to hear him go crazy in the Darkwing Duck review. He was usually so positive up to that point.

Yeah, that one is a classic.

Update spida is back and in better health now.
Though,this video is "nonTG16 related" spida is showing his other collection of games and consoles.

Hi Chris

Great news that you are on the mend :-) Love your review work on your Turbo youtube videos.

Take care.

Ceti Alpha · 02/14/2011, 03:12 PM

Yeah, great to see he's back and feeling better.

Marll · 02/15/2011, 12:19 AM

That's great news! Hope to see some more reviews when you're feeling better Chris.

turbokon · 02/15/2011, 03:26 PM

A nice little touch: he shows a page from the original instruction manual listing the stages with black & white screenshots... but then he superimposes actual gameplay footage over the original screenshots. Very nice

I never played the NES version, but now I want to check it out.

I just bought the NES version last week locally. It's very similar to the Turbo version, but IMO the controls ever so slightly tighter in the NES version.

Ooooo, the controls are even tighter? That is a good thing. I definitely have to get the NES version.

The funny thing is, I had never read about or seen the NES version back in the day. I was totally surprised it existed.

I suppose I was no longer focused on the NES universe at the time.

I didn't know about it either until a while back. It's not too common but it shouldn't set you back too much $$. I got my copy for about $15.

yup that review is awesome cute'm up needs to be the new "it" word! I have never played coryoon before so I didn't know that so many of the game elements are very similar to PC Denjin....maybe the share the same game engine?

I was talking to Sunteam a while ago about Coryoon and I mentioned how similar the music sounds between it and Air Zonk. He said the they may have shared the same development team. That kind of threw me though. Red developed PC Denjin right? And Hudson distributed. Coryoon is credited to Naxat Soft. So did Red develop Coryoon for Naxat Soft, or did Naxat develop it internally with some of the same members from Red?

TR0N · 09/28/2011, 12:58 AM

Buster Bros

It's been many months since spida1a last review.

Still it's great,he reviewed this game one of my favorite ports of a capcom title.I use to play buster bros alot in the arcades.

roflmao · 09/28/2011, 01:11 AM

Hooray! After his editing machines' hard drive crashed, I started to wonder if he was going to go through the trouble of rebuilding all of his assets from scratch. Luckily, it sounded like someone was able to retrieve a lot of the data from that drive so I'm glad he was able to move this project forward. That had to have been devastating.

Go spida1a!

SuperPlay · 09/28/2011, 02:42 PM

Great review of one of my favourite games

The sound, the graphics, the gameplay, the sound effects. This is more Air Zonk II, than Super Air Zonk is... even if it was released first!!

I swear the same exact team worked on both games!

Quote from: JoshTurboTrollX-16 on 09/28/2011, 03:34 PMI swear the same exact team worked on both games!

That's because it was the same team; Air Zonk is essentially a reskinned Coryoon.

munchiaz · 09/28/2011, 05:15 PM

The videos are awesome. i have been watching them all day.

SMF · 09/28/2011, 05:24 PM

I agree, I purchased both Turbo View DVDs Vol 1 & Vol 2. Great extras and also Chris gave me a few pointers on (what to look for) buying a Elm Street Pinball Machine.

Good to know...now I don't need to bother buying Coryoon

djolof · 09/28/2011, 08:24 PM

Glad Chris is back! Really enjoyed his take on Buster Bros

MotherGunner · 09/29/2011, 03:19 PM

You know what I am hoping for Chris? That when you finish Vol 2 that you not only offer it on DVD, but also offer Vol 1 + 2 on Blu-Ray.

I would be awesome to have a Blu-Ray case with some fine art and a nice logo on the disc! Lots of bonuses like FLAC versions of the music, etc.

Love the reviews and production value. You've got a great voice for this type of show, reminds me of the Phantom Gourmet T.V. show in Boston:

Keep up the great work, i'll keep watching.

Thanks Tron, another excellent review! Chris Bucci never disappoints!

ChrisBucci · 10/23/2011, 01:22 PM

Thanks guys....I appreciate it!!!

Cotton surprised me because it was TICKING ME OFF big time. But, I kept going back to it over and over and over and over. I usually don't fall for the "beat things a second time to get the game's credits" bull. The problem was....I couldn't stop! So, I raised it a half star and I'm glad I was able to share my defeating of the second pass on default with you guys (will NEVER happen again, ha ha).

Well thanks for enduring such a "frustratingly addictive" title (there aren't many).

So, where is our Halloween themed Turbo Views episode of Dracual X?

Hey.....I don't know what ya'll are talking about....

machomadness · 10/28/2011, 03:04 AM

I know I said in private already on YouTube, but I really want to thank you for these reviews. It's not often that I buy homebrew DVD's(in fact the last ones were the Retroware Seasons 1 and 2), but I HAD to buy yours as they were jam packed and looked professionally done. BTW, I have a Blu-Ray burner. If you need someone to burn Blu-Rays for you, if you could make the disc images, I could burn them no problem. I don't know how to make custom menus or I'd master them myself for you. You could probably get around $30 for the Blu-Ray sets(discs go for about $2 a disc now), so it's something to think about.

If you want to master them yourself, here's the machine I use:

Anyways, keep up the great reviews and you DEFINITELY have a customer for LIFE!

I think Bucci is more concerned with showing his love for the Turbo than making any sort of profit, or building a customer base. But, as a pure fan of the Turbo I am sure he would gladly admit you into his ranks.

machomadness · 10/28/2011, 12:56 PM

I know, but since a few people here were asking about a Blu-Ray release, I figured I'd volunteer since I have one and also give him a quick overview of cost just in case he considered it in the future.
