Has anyone tried fiend hunter?

It's supposed to have Prince of Persia like gameplay. Most people don't seem to like it. I've wanted to play it for years ever since putting off purchasing it new from a local store which soon went under.

There are quite a few amazing platformers on TG/PCE.  I think we all think Shooters first on this system but after cleaning up my game closet last night, I realized my platformers titles have grown, and now I have more of them vs. shooters!

Some of my favs:

Dynasty Wars SCD (Tenchi o Warou) -> (Tenchi o Kurau)
Wonderboy I -> you sure mean Bikkuriman World (Wonder Boy in monster land) which isn't the first but the 2nd of all wonder boys, or you mean Wonderboy II - Monster Lair? The very first Wonder Boy was never translated to the PCE, closest to that would be takahashi meijin no shinboukenjima
Tekahashi Yumeijin (NEw Advanture Island) -> takahashi meijin no shinboukenjima

Might be worth checking out on the emu side. Reviews don't seem too bad

Fiend Hunter is an excellent game.  It's the closest shit you'll get to a flashback-style game on the Turbob.

Fiend Hunter got a slowly,slowly start. That looooong conversation between the player and a NPC in japanese....

Son Son 2 is pretty good.

I thought fiend hunter was shit... It has a lot of potential but the excitement is just not there...  Kinda like an amped up, better version of Ninja warriors..   okay that is still shitty..

Genji Tsūshin Agedama underappreciated gem

I second this awesome game!  Although it is more of a "running shooter" like monster lair.  Great for on-the-go TE gaming as well!

Altered Beast (I love this for historical reasons, even though the Sega/MD version is much better)

Actually I find the CD version to be better (in some ways) than the GEN version. Cant comment on the HU version...

So I assume you've got some 1.o power

Yeah, had to get a 1.0 card to throttle down the Duo-R.   O:)  Never understood why Altered Beast (and several others) freak out with any other card.  

Its like the games go: "its... tooo... much... RAM!!!"  *freeze*

Several others?  Do tell.
