Console Chat / Re: Smelling my own farts? aka Turbo games playlists

Played through Last Alert and Final Zone II
Last Alert is flawed but a fun romp, i'd definitely revisit it in a few years
Final Zone II has much snappier gameplay but it feels too short. Some of the stages don't even have a real boss

I always liked the intro to the 90s Berserk anime.

I didn't pick this up until around 10 years ago or so.  I don't think I've beaten it yet.  I had it as my most wanted game for what feels like a year or more; it eluded me until eventually I lucked out and got it for a good price.  I'm not certain if I've beaten the game or not, but either way I think it's overall a really cool game.  A 2 player simultaneous Megaman-like game is a solid idea.

I'm boot it up later tonight and play it with Mrs. Enbu; we'll see if we can manage the win!

While I'm on the subject of English in anime music, the soundtrack to FLCL was very good but doesn't really count as an intro but oh well, here ya go anyway.

I never thought the Turbo Tunnel was that bad.  In 3rd grade I got past it in a rental.  The real thing is, Battletoads plays like the 3rd level from some degree on every subsequent level.  You have to learn a little bit more of the next level before dying, then a little bit more on the next life.  If you want to beat the game legitimately, you have to put in the time to memorize what you do at what point.  The level that gave me the most grief was the second to last when you're riding the "Clinger Winger" bike things and have to press the direction that you're trying to go.

Either way, beating Battletoads reminds me of beating a shooter.  There's a lot to learn and to react to and then once you've learned it all, you still have to not mess up but it's totally beatable.

Oh fine. Here it is anyway.

I'm too lazy to scan with black backstop, OCR it, crop, and clean it up like I did for the thousands of pages of mags on Duophile, but here you go. I promise all the hairs are actually present on the original flyer- whoever ran the 90's photocopier that made this flyer should have worn a hairnet.

Also, if anyone is interested in buying my TG16 CES binder stuffed full of rare turbo paper stuffs, send me a message. I've gotta make ends meet until my onlyfans takes off.

hahaha *bends the knee*  I did of course check http://duophile.com/?action=magazines&magazine=4   but it isnt on there. Thank you so much! and also, incase you or anyone else who might care does not have Club Turbo Vol 1 (which I saw was also missing from duophile.com) here it is:

Thanks again!

Any time! I only picked up Club Turbo v1 a couple of months ago, but it's been like 10 years since I've updated the 'phile and I'm not sure I remember how to add more things. Alas, it will never be the 100% complete paper compendium.

While we're sharing scans, I'm not sure it's common knowledge but I scanned and OCR'd vol 1 and 2 of the secrets books. I'm sure they've made their way out to archive sites, but just in case:

nice! I've never seen scans of these before, thanks yet again!
