Anybody moderately enjoy TATSUJIN ( Truxton ) ?

[bonoedgey]

Hello there everyone.

I was just wondering if anyone still plays Tatsujin on their PCE.  I have it for the Sega Genesis/MD and enjoyed the music. I watched some Youtube vids on the PCE version and it seems to have the music on its side compared to the Genesis/MD, but could just be me.

Thoughts about this game?  Its ok if this is the smallest topic.. and only get "It's Ok".  I was just wondering what the general thinks of this game.
I see its very expensive usually.

thanks for your thoughts in advance gang

Depends on my mood.  Sometimes that game really pisses me off.

It's definitely fun though.

the reason this port is harder than the arcade is that the bullets move faster than you can dodge with no speed ups so as you progress, rank rises and the bullets move even faster. its somewhere on par with the 2nd loop of the arcade.

I moderately enjoy it when the title appears. f*cking hate gameplay tho. Too damn harx

thanks everyone for your replies.  Speaking of great tunes totally another topic in itself but was listening to the Ys Chronicles Soundtrack.. pretty sweet lol.. I know off topic, my bad   Thanks again everyone for your insight.  It is pretty darn hard when I played it on the MegaDrive. Never have played Truxton (as we say around me) for the PCE. Maybe if I want more grey hair and such I will have to try it out lol

Anyone else want to weigh in on Genesis/Mega Drive vs. PC Engine here? I have the Genesis game, never thought about looking into the PC Engine one. Worth it?

Damn fine game with a better soundtrack than its arcade big brother. Not sure what Toalpan was thinking with its difficulty though.

I'm not man enough to play Tatsujin.  It looks and sounds great, but it's just too damn hard for a shewty wuss like me.

I made it to the last stage once but haven't played it for a long while.

I was never enthralled with this or any other Toaplan shmup, to be honest, though there is something about V-V's graphics that appeals to me.  Other than that, they all seem to share the same slow-paced, relatively uninspired gameplay & sub-par music...and I think I might be the only one that feels this way. :/

It's great fun with the cheat in.

!?

yes

Well, you know, since Altered Beast is so much better on the Genesis, I figured I'd check to see if Truxton is as well. :-"

I love Tatsujin. This will be the first game I play when my everdrive comes in the mail. Playing the tournament at VGS was definitely fun. I really enjoy the tunes. I really want to try the Genesis version. If I can ever find it for a decent enough price.

I also like the arcade version too. While slightly different I still love torturing myself at it

I really enjoy playing the Genesis version. Definitely a challenging game and it does get a bit repetitive.  I bought my Genesis copy new back in the days. 

It seems the PCE version is so expensive now. 

Wasn't Tatsujin quite popular, especially in Japan?...Any thoughts on why the PCE version is so limited?

It was a late HuCard release. '94 I think, which seems crazy since Toaplan were releasing most of their shooties on CD-ROM by then.
