Turbo Tuesdays!

[DesmondThe3rd]

OK, I usually got Tuesdays off work here and a Turbo collection at my dirty old house just begging to be played again so I wanted to start a weekly series focusing on the awesomeness of this system. Introducing the crazy TURBO TUESDAYS!
In my first vid of this series I picked out 15 of the hardest TG-16 card games ever in my opinion, which I'm sure is open to debate:

Unlike my older Turbo Reviews, Baby! series where it was mostly reviews and video quality sucked:

This is going to a more historical look back about some of cool, weird, and just plain odd things about the Turbo plus my camera's a bit better now too (my old Raiden review looks terrible btw).

So if anybody as any ideas what I can do for future episodes just let me know.

Thanks for the sub, you're not the first to say I look like Jack Black.

The camera is better.

Everyone has different strengths/weaknesses, but I was surprised to see Super Star Soldier as more challenging than Raiden! Especially given your skills with Raiden.

Raiden and R-Type are definitely challenging for me, though. With Sinistron, I actually choke more often on the early ASTEROID STAGE more than the last stage (where the enemies are much quicker). I think it is a mental hang-up, but I do not consistently pass the asteroid stage.



I've never gotten far with Night Creatures.

Impossamole, Hero Tonma, Victory Run, etc. aren't too bad, but these lists are subjective so...



Anyway, the real reason I'm posting: TIMEBALL IS A GREAT GAME. GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE. DON'T abandon it.

For real.

Super Star Soldier seems easier but the lack of bombs really makes you a sitting duck especially in the later stages where they throw everything at you at once. Sinistron really gets evil in stage 5 in my opinion, I hate those homing missiles. Sorry but I'll have to pass on Timeball there.

New Turbo Tuesday 'n junk. In this episode I get a new book and get talking about getting high scores in Turbografx-16 games. I need to look tougher after coming off like a wussy in my last Hardest 15 episode (Super Star Soldier is too difficult 'cries').

Great stuff, now to do cdrom2/super cd games like Exile 2 or if you are up for the challenge, Wizardry 3&4 for the pc engine. Don't be turned off by the fact Wizardry 3 and 4 are in Japanese, its actually mostly in English and completely playable. Wizardry 4 is even harder without a guide, its one of those games you'll almost have to map out by hand. ^^

I just got Exile 2 recently as well.

Hey, Star. Could you do a review of Browning? That game rocks!

I always thought that Ordyne was kind of hard. I did beat it once but, that was back in my younger days when I had good reflexes and played for hours on end.

Psychosis is another tough one for me and Sinistron can be rough too.

Yeah, Ordyne can get a lot harder in the later stages but thankfully the game lets you continue in place unlike Sinistron and Psychosis. Sadly my actual PC Engine collection is pretty small and I never even owned or played Browning before.
