Game of the Month: June 2019 Gate of Thunder
« on: June 07, 2019, 09:56:14 AM »
GATE OF THUNDER


Ok, this way late. Wasn't sure about there still being people wanting a new GoTM. Seems like it from discord chat. So, here it is. Gate of Thunder!!!!!!!!!! Probably the best pack-in ever for a game system. To this day Gate of Thunder is still one of my favorite shooters on the Turbo/PCE. It really showcased the Super CD Rom system well. Fantastic music, graphics, gameplay. The game really plays well. Having the ability to double tap the button to use your options and fire behind you is nice. This is a game that is also not to hard to get through. I still have yet to complete this game on Devil though. Guess I will have time to do it this month! Lets get some scores in!

GoT GoTM!

You ain't shittin' about it being the best pack-in.  Even by itself it's easily one of the best ever, but add in Bonk's Adventure, Bonk's Revenge, and Bomberman and it's impossible to top.  It's simply a fantastic shewty, loaded with polish and personality.

Those Winds of Thunder folks miss out on the Bonks and B-man. I'll make sure to run it at Too Many Games in a couple of weeks (not that I wouldn't any how!)

What does it say when you pick up the options (#82 in sound test)?  I thought it was "tusks" back in the day, but now I'm thinking it might be "cuck".  Does GoT stand for Gate of Toxic masculinity?!?

Sorry I've been absent on this one. I have been playing a few GoT runs this month on Devil mode. I can get to stage 6 now but lose it all there. I have some time tonight and this weekend. Hopefully I can make a 1CC on devil before the month's over. Regardless I'm having fun since it's been a while playing this and has been nice to come back to. I love this game so much.

 I will keep the fire burning and make sure next the July GoTM starts on time. Going to do another game that's not a shooter to change it up.

Devil mode, damn!  Much respect.

This pussy can barely beat it on normal, which I did earlier this week.  It's such a sweet shewty with so much variety that I never get tired of it.
