Am I finding Keith Courage... quite fun?

I never thought it was a "bad" game. Not great, by any means, but it plays well, looks pretty damn cool, and I love the music. There's just not a lot of depth or variety.

You can count me as a Keith Courage fan. I liked the game even as a kid when I had my original TG16. It's colorful withy some catchy chiptunes and the action stages are fairly good. The glitch to beat the last boss without it moving is kinda lame, but otherwise I like to play through the game every once and a while and always enjoy it.

I think part of the stigma of the game is the bad Americanization it got.

I think the crappy localazation gives Keith Courage its charm, the comic and the story of the game is hiliarious

I think it gives it some charm too, but some gamers look down on localizations that Americanize Japanese games. Personally I don't care too much either way.

Who said keith was bad? It's just funny cause it's not a great game and was the pack in.

I'd argue it's a below average game. I think they made it the pack in because the graphics were exceptionally good for the time. When I got my TG16 at launch initially KC blew me away. But it got old really quick. All it really needs is some more depth and variety though.

Its an ok game, have to turn the volume down, the music is just god awful and repetitive to the point it stays in your head 24/7.

I like the game here. I like the music and game play. I thought it could have used a couple more stages.

And a sequel!

[DragonmasterDan]

And a sequel!

Yep, the ending promised a sequel.

[Lilgrafx]

And a sequel!

Didn't we get one on the Super Grafx?

Yep, the ending promised a sequel.

I don't think it's a bad game. It's not one of the best!
I always ask to myself...Why the spedd difference between human or robot?

[khog143]

I agree with the sentiment of almost everyone else here, it's not bad or good.  It's enjoyable when playing for the first time, but kinda gets old quickly due to no variation.  It just gets grilled because it gets compared to earlier titles like Bonk, which should have been the pack in.

Keith Courage impressed me the first time I played it back in 89'. The colors were bright and amazing compared to my friends NES games. I just wished they released a sequel like the ending promised

[T2KFreeker]

I love this game. Not the greatest Turbo game, but was cool. What's this that was brought up about a sequel on the Supergrafx? I missed that if it's true . . .

I never said it was a bad game.

I'm glad you're having fun with it.

It's an awesome mediocre at best game.

Keith Courage is a mediocre, at best, game.

Overworld is horribly monotonous/boring after the first stage and gets worse.

Underworld is actually awesome, but becomes tedious and boring after two stages due to incredibly uninspired stage design (no REAL variety) and repetitive enemies.

BUT THE GAME, ULTIMATELY, IS BLAND.

This is it exactly.  Keith Courage actually rocks for a couple of levels.  But then you realize that you've already experienced the entire game.  After about half a dozen levels or so, it's pretty easy to move on to something else.
