Introducing myself and Turbo Views......

[CGQuarterly]

Nothing bad with camcorders and dvd players, if I recall correctly that's how most of the AVGN episodes' game footage were made, with just a simple DVD player + recorder bonus.

My DVD recorder actually also has a hard drive in it, but no way to get the footage off except by burning it on to a DVD.  Not sure why they didn't give it Firewire capability, because it's from that time period.

Another idea (if you have it on hand) is to use a CRT TV with video output. Then you can use any capture card and not worry about lag.

Oh hey, I was looking for a game to play through before the fall semester starts next week. Looks like a replay of Exile is in order..

[Otaking]

Exile-ent review as always!   

[Psycho Punch]

Turbo Views, Exile

Pretty good.

Some highlights/thoughts:

* First village/town where our adventure begins is called "Ass-ass-i," heh, which Chris was happy to emphasize more than once... 

* Worked in a nice honorable mention to the late great Harold Ramos upon encountering an equipment item named "Egon's Shield."

* Forgot Victor Ireland couldn't get a font hack job done, used the crappy S-JIS 16x16 system font throughout the game. Looks funny.

[CrackTiger]

Exile for PC Engine has a glitch that distorts the screen while fading in/out to black. At least a couple hombrew games had it during development too. The Turbo version has it removed.

[TR0N]

Not a TG16 review but a unboxing for the ghostbuster pinball machine 

Man does spida1a have quite the pinball collection !!

Hey Chris,

I was active in the community, and was running PC Engine Retro Magazine for a few issues in around 2008, then life got busy and other things took priority. My 5 year old son has taken on a passion for the Turbo Grafx 16, and I can now enjoy the system with him, which is awesome. I recently decided to jump back on here a few days ago and catch up with some old acquaintances, as it is nice to just relax and enjoy our favorite console. I ran across this post, and checked out your Youtube page. I am quite sure you have had many people already say this, but amazing work man. Your reviews are top notch quality work. Keep up the great work.

Nice to see that you post here, love your videos!

Back when the oval office wasn't oval and had a giant flag painted on the wall, and you had to be careful not to hit your head when going through the door. Good times.

edit: seriously, the time travelling aspect of the original game is interesting, if I understand it right the game had you going after the US president and the USSR PM in the "90's", that would have been fun to do in the PCE version.

Yup.

I remember when Zigfried (?) (one of the oldtimers) was explaining the original plot to XZR... I thought he was making up crazy shite. Honestly.

Anyway, about that American flag: I love it because it is exactly what a kid does when they draw a flag...13 stripes (+/- 40 stripes) and 50 stars  (+/- 40 stars).

[esteban]

Random animated .gif I found... odd...

[TR0N]

[esteban]

...but it is a volley ball game...

I can't tell you when I last played this because I'm really not sure if I have in the past decade.

Maybe Bucci will inspire me to try this game again...

But it is volleyball...

Ok, so how should we pronounce Veigues?

Another great review and much appreciated.

[Dicer]

I love me some Vaginal Tantric Gigglefrigger.

Good stuff as always.

[NoSexGex]

It's still awkward pronouncing this game. We just call it VGT so it doesn't sound like we're trying to name a vagina

[esteban]

We had an old thread on this.

It is absolutely VEEGZ.

Hard "g".

[esteban]

Incidentally, my nickname in elementary school was "Hard G".

Also, when I said "absolutely" I meant "IMHO".

[CrackTiger]

I always called it "vay-guess" bitd.

[geise]

I always called it "vay-guess" bitd.

My pronunciation is close to this.  V guess is how I pronounce it.  Probably totally off

Thanks again for all of these reviews over the years.  They are very much appreciated.

[ChrisBucci]

Thanks a lot guys for always watching.   I appreciate it.   

PS:   Ha!   esteban - Mr. Hard G!

[Otaking]

I've always pronounced it V-Gays-gu

[roflmao]

My pronunciation is close to this.  V guess is how I pronounce it.  Probably totally off

That's how I've always pronounced it too!

[Joe Redifer]

I've always said it like the word vague. Vaygz.

While not at the level of the Crush games, it is still a pretty solid pinball simulation.

Just 5 more till the DVD

[NecroPhile]

Another fun video, but 'tis too bad he didn't show more of the bonus screens and the fact that you can play 'em from the options menu (some via code).  Prehistoric golf for the win!

[ChrisBucci]

Thanks for the support and for watching as always gang!
About 40 some more to go ... hard to believe.  Ha ha

Not necessarily. I remember him saying that there would be 5 DVD sets in total. Volumes 4 and 5 would contain a little more than the rest perhaps?

Feel free to jump in and say things, Mr. Bucci.

<3

[ChrisBucci]

It was always questionable but ... at this point, volume 4 will follow the previous (with 25 reviews).    The final volume will have the final 35 (at least that is the plan, ha ha).   

Who knows ... by then DVDs will be dust and we'll have them implanted directly into the brain. 

[NoSexGex]

Another great review, It's insightful watching a quality review on a game I haven't really given the time to properly play. I'm still fixated on beating the crush series haha

Thank you very much for popping in to confirm. I appreciate it. :3

[esteban]

Way better than the crush games. And shame on bucci for not including all the trippy 3d balls demo modes.

I don't think so. Deal with it, HuMAN.

[ChrisBucci]

Lol.   Esteban's true form is revealed.

[SuperPlay]

Thanks for the support and for watching as always gang!

Keep going my friend, looking forward to the next 40(ish) reviews and of course the next DVD instalment :-)

Great work.

What are they? I'm imagining something like retfa renrub 2's 3d ball pattern editor.

[esteban]

FLAKKA.
