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.


Yup. I am too lazy to find my old posts, but suffice it to say: KC had the potential to be a truly awesome game. But, at least we have this:

The graphics are really good though. And the music is so memorable for PSG music. I can hum the overworld, transformation, and underworld music without even having played it for years. It's some of my favorite PSG music, now that I think of it.

I love the Keith Courage reference in Pat The NES Punk's "Flea Market Madness" videos.

The music is infectious for sure. I have it stuck in my head all the time for some reason. Like, right now :-/

Yeah, I'll give you that. The Nova Suit, underworld jumping/landing & sword slashing = great SFX.



The graphics are really good though.

Yes, everything is sharp and nicely detailed. It holds up well today.

I arrived at the fifth underworld stage. I stopped having fun when I had to repeat the stage 4-5 times, left the console on, came back from work and the damn thing had reseted itself.

This said, I've totally changed my opinion on this game. It's not a classic, but it has a strange little charm that makes it compelling to keep playing.

If you promise to actually play it and agree to never re-sell or trade it for personal gain, PM me your address and I'll send one your way.

Let the haters hate.  Keith was one of the very first titles that popped into my mind to locate once I got my new Duo recently.  I loved the game, but do admit that has a lot to do with nostalgia, as it was my very first game when I got my TG16 from Children's Palace sooo many years ago.  :)

Still remember seeing it running in a kiosk for the first time...

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 . . .
Granzort... it's something of a spiritual successor; not a true sequel.

KC is a good game. You almost have unlimited lives because of the coinage.
