For some reason I really enjoy playing World Class Baseball.  Nice graphically, decent music, and solid gameplay.  As far as sport titles go it's really well done and puts the golf titles on the system to shame.  Kinda the opposite of today's sport games.

Did you mean, puts baseball titles to shame?
Nope, I meant golf.  Usually golf games are pretty good on consoles and the baseball games suck, especially in the last 10 years.  But World Class Baseball is a better game than the golf games on the PCE/Turbo from that era.

I saw a cheap Sinistron on eBay for $4.99, but has over 4 days left on the auction. I'll watch it and see if it goes up much. I don't want to spend too much for it. 5 bucks seems just about right.   :wink:

Sinistron is a great game. Don't worry if you have to spend $20 on it-- you'll get your money's worth.

Although I would imagine the auction will top out at less than that.
Without question. Sinistron is seriously worth every penny no matter how much you spend on it. If you haven't played it before, it WILL kick your ass and laugh in your face; it's one of the harder TG shooters, and is legitimately challenging (unlike ones that are hard due to bad coldet or other technical foulups).

I found Sinistron challenging, but I didn't find it so much fun. The graphics are ho-hum and the music gets grating quickly. I was not a fan. The jaw mechanic was pretty cool, but the game felt less smooth to me and less polished than so many others.

Here's a funny review of Sinistron on youtube:


It's hilarious that he doesn't sync the audio with the video. hehe. I still love his reviews though.  :mrgreen:

Haha, yeah that's Kamino for you. He recently sold all of his video game collection (over 1,000 games) to use for drug money :( .

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Oh, dear god no!! But judging from his videos I'm not surprised. That really sucks. He's going to regret that someday.

So, apparently, all the turbo games this fellow reviews are "awesome."

Awesome.

Chew Man Fu!

Seriously, this game is fun....glad it recently came out on the virtual console so that more people can play it.

My favorite part of Chew Man Fu was the ability to create your own levels.
