(7/10/2014 - 7/16/2014) Game of the Week: Cadash

[TheClash603]

Cadash is a wonderful game and I would say it is likely the best two-player experience on the TG16.  There are few games that my non-retro gaming friends will play, but this is one of them.

The great thing about Cadash is variety, as you can essentially play the game many different ways.  First of all, there is the grinding people have talked about.  If you want to just have an easy romp through the game, I think of grinding almost like playing an "easy mode."  If you want to have an actual challenge, just make a go of the game, no grinding.

The Priestess / Ninja combo makes this game cake and this is what my friend and I usually will play.  The Fighter isn't too bad either, and I have completed the game with him too.  I honestly don't think I have ever beat the game with the Mage before, so maybe that will be my challenge this weekend (aka - probably not).

Someone send me Military Madness so I can play the week after next.

Didn't have time to play Cadash this weekend. I played it somewhat recently but I'll possibly have time to give it a run through tonight.

I freaking love Cadash!!!!

I have beaten it with both the ninja and the mage.

I played it as a kid on the arcade machine At a local Zellers.  I have searched for the name of that game for years before stumbling onto a Youtube video of the arcade. Once I had the name I realized that a great port was available for the Turbo.  I then remembered seeing a CIC at a local store for $20 and went down and picked it up.  I was so happy

Here is an old post another forum asking for help lol.

"Hey guys I want to figure out the name of an arcade game I played in the early 90's.  I believe it is pre 95.  All I can remember was you had 2 characters to choose from.  One was a ninja who threw little triangle darts and a guy who had a crossbow that fired a chain with a ball on the end.  One of the early bosses is a giant octopus and you fight him on docks with the octopus being in the water.
If anybody has a clue about what I'm talking about please post here.  I have been searching for the name for a couple of years now.
     
Thanks so much!"

The timer might change the analysis, but I found the Priest much harder to play with than the fighter. When you are playing without the timer, grinding a little with the fighter means he can get up in an enemy's face and take them down VERY quickly. The priest definitely benefits from range, but has to wait for the weapon to reel back in to move or attack again, meaning that not only does the priest do less damager per attack, but attacks more slowly. For my personal play style that's a bit of a killer. The ninja at least can fire and forget.

I don't have TG-16 Cadash, so I played some Genny Cadash. The character options are limited to Fighter and Mage, and I found I could do better, solo at least, as the Mage. His magic dagger spam spell kills almost everything very quickly.

Damn, I'm still playing SHOCKMAN.

Have I ever missed anyone's submission?

If you would like to submit a game, please post in this thread or PM me a message that clearly states you are submitting a game.

Please do not submit a list of potential games. It's fine if you want to discuss potential games in GOTW threads, but unless I see a message saying something like "I want [particular game] to be my submission for Game of the Week." I won't be able to confirm it as your game.

Naturally, if you have already submitted a game, or if the game has already been done, I won't be able to accept your submission.

If I've totally spaced anyone's submission, I apologize. It's not politics or favorites or anything, it's just me losing track.

Cadash is the shit... one of the few Turbo games i can get my wife to play. I remember this game quite fondly back in the early 90s playing co-op with friends. I love RPG elements in an action/adventure game.

SamIAm, I wish to submit Blazing Lazers for a future Game of the Week

Well, I wasn't able to get together with my sister to play it through as a 2-player, but I did play through and beat it today!



No, that's not the ending screen...  While the ending was scrolling, I was scrambling to find a camera, since I obviously couldn't take a picture with my phone camera.     I just to day got the pictured Impulse controller upon nullity's recommendation, and I downloaded PCE.emu to my Samsung Note III.  It looks like this will be a decent option for obey on the go (not as good as a 3.5" screen modded Turbo Express, but not too bad).

Edit: fixed grammar

I obviously could take a picture with my phone camera.

No unmentioned key combination to take a screen-shot?
My galaxy tab II has one, so maybe google it.
