TG16 magazine review scans.

[roflmao]

It's a PC Engine Hu - I love it.  It's fairly easy, which is a plus for me, because I'm not great at shmups.  I haven't 1cc'd it yet, but I'm close.

it's EASY? I died a lot of times in shmups untill I bought the Turbo stick! Finally I complete R-Type after years playing it.

It was just something I pulled out of my old yahoo group

And I thank your scan.

And I thank your scan. I don't have any magazine that talks about Turbo games and all I read in these forums are great. But I got the game (and played) and the final note (Intermediate) seems so low to me for a game like that.  Play it! It will like you!

Thanks. I'll get on it as soon as I get back to my Neutopia replay.
Yeah, just some old scans from TT-16. Nothing major, just stuff I kept from the old gaming magazines.

Glad you like it though. I'll see what else I can dig up later...  

EDIT: Here's another one. This one is from EGM.

Man, EGM was soooo shit.  They never rated games, and I bet they barely played them; That "review" just describes the weapon select screen, and the rest of it is just screenshots.

It was a catalogue at best, and it used to wind me up.  Plus they had hardly any TG-16 reviews.

*edit but that Veigues review makes me want to buy it.

Ooops. You're right. That wasn't a review. Well, what's done is done.

EGM did do some reviews but, the majority of the ones I saw on Turbo games gradually got worse and worse, even after TTI took over, the bashing increased.
I still think that Sega and Nintendo had something to do with that.
VG & CE were fair to the TG16 and then their mag went under only to try and make a comeback under a slightly altered name.

so basically GamePro was the top dog then?

Not by a long shot. Game Pro was okay when they were starting out but, then, they just started to be more concerned with doing little comics of games and -well they just got boring after a while and eventually EGM took the lead with their fancy glossy covers and flashy advertisements but, they were good about showing you stuff long before it would be released in the states and the did do a few in-depth coverage of some things.
