And yes, avoid this game at all costs :)

Post by: PC Gaijin on March 02, 2006, 01:22:42 PM: I got Energy as part of a trade a long time ago. What a turd of a game. It would have been atrocious on Famicom or MSX never mind the PC Engine. In fact the screen by screen scrolling always made me wonder if it was an MSX game ported to PCE.

Dude! I was playing It Came From the Desert earlier today. I remembered you mentioning you liked cheesy games before, and since I can't stand ICFTD, I was thinking "hmm, wonder if even Keranu could get into this game?" :lol:

Post by: Keranu on March 02, 2006, 03:27:02 PM: Haha, yep I do indeed love ITCD :D . I posted my feelings for it many months ago in another thread. To sum it up, I mainly liked it for the cheesy FMV, variety of mini games, and awesome horror factor.

Deep Blue was my first TG game after Keith Courage. i got it for $10 at Toys R Us. I don't know if i ever really liked it that much, but i sure played it a lot and i still have a spot in my heart for that game.

Post by: Keranu on March 03, 2006, 12:34:50 PM: Man, people need to stop dissing Deep Blue. It's not so great in the gameplay department, but it's music and graphics is soo soothing that it works great (and better) as a relaxing screen saver.
