New Here and saying hi

[Ninja16608]

Hello, I'm brand new to the forum and excited to meet fellow tg/pce players and collectors.  I have a decent collection of great turbo stuff and games.  38 games left till i get the complete US library and jump off the deep end with the pce games.  I got into tg hard around 2010 (probably when most of you finally beat that last game, lol) and it has become my centerpiece console.  When i was a kid no one i knew had a console but i remember playing and enjoying them at KB toys in N. Texas where I'm from and really being amazed at how great they looked and played over the other two big consoles at the time. I love most of the games including bonk series, the endless amount of shooters, right now my fav is gate of thunder, and rpg's with Ys 1 & 2 being my fav rpg series of all time.  I'm currently working on a review of Shapeshifter for my youtube channel, as I wanted to pick a game i enjoyed (even with the crappy jumping scheme) but there wasn't a lot of information about on the net.  My prized game right now is ninja spirit.  The reason being is its a fun action platformer and the spirit add-ons are really interesting, also its the last game i got so the newest to the collection. I will also be heading to CGE in Vegas this yr and hope I can make a few friends to meet in person there and hang.

My more personnel stuff is I'm in the Air Force going on 10yrs in July.  I work as a crew chief for F-16 fighters and right now have a position in Tucson working A-10's.  Family, 2 kids an 11yr old and 22mo both girls.  My oldest loves gaming and has been getting sucked into the TG and retro scene in general as she has gotten older.

Well hope that covers what i intended and happy to meet everyone! 

Welcome!  Ninja Spirit is a great game, but I don't think I would have thought so without it being a pack-in with the Turbo Duo, because I wouldn't have ever tried it out.  Despite being an 80's kid, I was never all that into Ninjas.  Looking back, almost every Ninja game ever made was awesome - Ninja Gaiden, The Shinobi series - Shadow Dancer, Revenge of Shinobi, Shinobi III...  Irem made some great conversions for the PCE/TG16 as well, didn't they?

Not into ninja's for shame :-( I didn't know anyone who was not into ninjas in the 80's, hell ninja's is what prompted me to learn martial arts. But yes there were tons of great ninja games like the ones mentioned but there were some pretty crappy ones too, beware the fake ninja games.

Welcome......Let me guess...You work at Amarg?

Shapeshifter is one of my favorites.  I read your other post about how you die in the sewers.  One trick or method that might help you, you are limited to the number of lives you can have in the game and the game is a save based game.  I start out any level and play through it, after the boss is dead, if I died at all I simply reload and play through it again until I have completed the boss with no lives lost.  This gives you practice through the level obviously.

I do not work there in AD so i work flt line....good suggestion thats what im actually doing with the restarts and if i die more than twice i just go on and mess around thats why i keep dieing. Honestly the game is easy what makes it difficult is the god awful jumping its too percise and if u are on the edge it makes u fall back. But im almost done with it so should be good little video when its done. Thanks
