Parasol Stars....f*ck

I AM ADDICTED


and that's just by emulating it. I do think this will be my next PCE purchase

I played Don Doko but didn't like it as much, haven't tried Rainbow Islands either.

That's all THANKS!

I need to spend more time with it.  I used to play it on the Amiga, and I remember it being one of those games that you just 'get' more the more you play it.

Don Doko Don looks fun but then you play it and it's like "goddamn this is kinda boring"

It doesn't flow as well.   It's still OK, but Parasol Stars bitchslaps the game around.

It's my favorite hu card game. Plenty of replay value too.

It really does. I like the art direction but it just doesn't compare.

I recently tried Bubble Bobble 2 (emu as well of course) and I was quite hooked, but there's just something to Parasol....

obviously, it's the Obey factor. Gotta be it ;)

The music is fantastic as well, and I love how frenetic it gets when you start running out of time. And just like most of Taito's other action puzzlers you have to jump through some hoops to get the good ending.

Parasol Stars is one of the penultimate TG-16 games.  It's utilizes the amazing color palette, has great tunes and has wicked addictive gameplay that is entertaining to both genders and most age groups (if you are an old curmudgeon and can get over the cute and rainbow-bubbly factor, then it'll rock).

One of the best games on the system.  Great to play 2 players and compete for top score!

Rainbow Island is shitty compared to Parasol Stars.
