If you buy a Bonk game, I recomend picking up Revenge first, since its the best(in my opinion), but Adventure is really fun.

Bonk 3 isn't as polished(as Revenge) or fun(as Adventure) overall, but it has some cool giant sprites.

I think Gates of Thunder 3in1 should be recomended insted.

Afther all you get, Bonks Adventure&Bonks Revenge on one disc

Best way to try both period :idea:

sounds good. I picked up bonk's revenge already. Have just today received a controller for my tg16. I remember back in the day playing bonk's adventure, don't think I ever finished it though.

Calm down and take deep breaths.

First, I just want to say why did you sell your NEO?!

Second, you've become a compulsive buyer. Very common among new people who just begun collecting games for retro systems that everyone thinks is cool. You're not the only one, I've been there.

You're probably combing the interent for pce reviews, and then handing over wads of cash for the games that are considered the best in every genre. Please, don't do that. You'll waste your money that way.

Your going to make it dont worry.

Here some advice to keep you from falling into the money pit:

Limit yourself to 5 games, and play them. I really mean it.

Or better yet, play them on an emulator like Magic Engine. After hour, if you don't like the game then don't buy it.

Answer to some of your questions - Why did I sell my neo ? Used the funds from my aes to buy myself a Bally Adams Family pinball machine that I always wanted !

Compulsive buying? - truth be told yes though my reason for this is I have been bagging myself some right bargains while prices are low unlike the US UK importers can be really expensive,so when Ive seen games like Bloody Wolf,Ninja Spirit for £20 I've been snapping them up as importers here are normally charging double for both !

Use an emulater - thats why I'm buying them all lol

But yes I do play them alot - video machines either old or new are made to be played not to be put in a glass cabinet while you sit there and go oooooooooo I've got that rare cart and that rare cart which you find is quite common with a neo owners.

Anyway,I've gone on long enough thanks for your advise and I'll try ! Maybe 10 games a month ? hehe

Hve fun guys play them engines .....................................

Great find on the pinball machine.

Whenever I go to Las Vegas arcades I usually spend an hour playing the pinball machines since most are neglected.

Wow, 20 GBP is quite expensive to me. I hope for that price, the hucards are complete with jewel case and manual.

I've never knew they made Terra Cresta II for the pce. I would have to check that one out to see for myself. Was their ever a Terra Cresta II for the arcade?

I've played Terra Cresta on the nes and its one best shmups on that console. Very alestean IMHO, mainly because its a veritical shooter, plenty of firepower, and the powerups are numbered like in Zanac/Aleste.

Have you also tried Moon Cresta in the arcade, its the prequel to Terra Cresta?

Terra Cresta II also came out on the Sega Saturn many moons ago it interlaced 2d levels with 3d boss stages ! It sort of worked ! I've found two copies one used one NEW in shrinkwrap at a site here in the UK BUT for the NEW copy there asking 109 GBP !!!! Tried to find it on some emulators but to no avail.

I am a shooter man - you cannot beat a good old blast after a crappy day at work - relieves the built up tension !!
