Cool nando i'll give you some tips to get started on it in the chat when you get it

[Nando]

Hellz yeah!! Thanks Necro!

I want to get this, but I really thought I'd like 2 and 3 more.  In my head, I can't help compare them to Megaman, but they're nothing alike.  I want the characters to move slower, I just want the whole game slower and more platformey than twitch shootey.

I don't really care, I think this and another game goes great horizins to give you something unique. I think I am down to at least ten or twenty games to get for the PCE, before I quit, and move on to the next frontier.

four of them consist of this game and that other game of a differnt title.

The first is all platforming. The second one looks more polished but yeah it's just not as much fun in my opinion. I like using the  sword a lot better. The third definitely looks the best and has some awesome music but it's not very challenging and is almost kind of glitchy.

#3 is pretty as all get out but man it's rather linear with a few boxes and things placed around. Fast paced though.

love it!

I'm in the love it camp. Sure, it has shitty hit detection, but it's playable after you learn its quirks. I don't find it that hard, other than maybe the last stage.

It's characteristic of Masaya games: somehow feels polished and kinda sloppy at the same time. I love their games, really I do.

Never played the first two, but my friend had #3 which I borrowed and loved.  Music, graphics and controls were great from what I can remember.  I also remember it being way too easy.  Of course, that was about 20 years ago.

Your memory is pretty accurate. #3 is the best in the series for sure. Only weakness is the easiness.

shubi 3 > shubi 2 > shubi 1

and yeah, shubi 3 can be a first run clearer with ease.
also i don't like some frowsy programmings here and there.

but all around it's an impressive game, especially for a simple cd-rom.

Hmmm after playing all three back to back im going to go 1>3>2

[soop]

I actually think the second looks the best.  Bigger sprites don't always make a game prettier.

This thread is helping me actually care (a bit) about the Shubibinman series. I never played all three at the same time, so I have a very disjointed view of them. I've spent the most time with Shubi 3, which I considered far too easy, but with so much potential to be 100% ROCK-N-ROLL. If only Masaya had made the default difficulty higher and fixed a few things. GODDAMN.

I definitely want to play the first two Shoobee's now and compare them.

[fraggore]

well been given the first game a bash and have to say its a bit poop hate the flootie controls, shame i realy like the third game its easy yea but fun to play.

never played the second game gonna fire up magic engine and see what's its like.
