Star Parodia/Parodier (which one is it, really?) and Ane-San arrived today, but they're Christmas gifts so i have to wait

Eternal City, Klax, Dynastic Hero and Blood Gear are on their way from Japan. Not sure if Blood Gear is any good, but it adds to my collection 

[Keranu]

Those are all pretty good games, Ravij. Eternal City is a decent, though stiff untalked about Metroid-ish game, Klax is a puzzle classic, Dynastic Hero is a fun and colorful side scrolling adventure, and Blood Gear is amazing.

[Ravij]

Blood Gear is amazing.

Great! 


I've been after Klax for a bit, just never got round to picking up a copy.

I also got two hucard games in the mail today, terra cresta 2 and photograph boy.

What do you think of Terra Cresta II? How much did you pay for it?

I own it also, but it doesn't get much mention round these parts.

[awack]

I just got the hu card + slipcase, i paid $45.00 for it, the price range for a complete copy seems to be between $80.00 and $130.00.

The graphics are pretty good, the sound though is very low quality, as for the gameplay the ship just moves to slow, playing the game for the first time and not knowing the enemy patterns its very hard not to get hit by the smallest to the largest enemy ships.

You know that SELECT changes the speed of your ship, right? Just like in the Gunhed/Soldier series. On the fastest setting, your ship is anything but "slow."

The gameplay in Terra Cresta II is very dynamic and changes based on how many "F" powerup gels you have, which vessel add-ons you have and how you've set up your ship formation. Experiment with these things and the "I" button to see what I mean.

It's funny what you say about the sound, or more specifically, the music. At first it has a very abrasive quality to it. To me it sounds like what you would get if you mixed the Genesis sound chip with the NES sound chip. Play more into it and you'll see what I mean. After a couple plays the music really grew on me, and I really like the tunes now.

The game used to sell for around $200, "back in the day." I bought a new copy within the past year for $70 U.S. (it was from an eBay seller in the UK, go figure).

Thanks for telling me about the speed option, that should definitely make things better, the whole vessel add-on thing does make it unique, $70.00 for a new one eh, I've been looking online for 2 or 3 years and i haven't seen a used, complete copy go for less than $80.00, good job on finding that.

[nat]

I was pretty shocked, yeah.

Until it actually arrived in the mail, I had myself convinced I'd been the victim of some kind of scam.

You can find cheap copies in Japan, though, so maybe that's where the seller originally got it from. I think Tatsujin said he got his for like $40 or something.

Heavy Unit, Sapphire and Lady Sword are in the mail.  Guess I'm looking at one failure, one masterpiece and one curiosity.
