Can Pcenginefx beat all licensed TurboGrafx-16 games in 2016/2017? (115/135)

[Zephadus]

Aww, I didn't see it crossed off in the main post.
Well, I did it anyway, so here's a collage!

Shit sorry everyone  :oops:

Cool collage though! I snapped a few pictures of some end boss screens I thought were cool. Thanks for doing that!

I tried to beat pac-land since I have two copies of this stupid game for some reason but the control scheme got me cucked at stage 26. While I did start from stage one and cleared 1-25 with relative ease, I spent hours on that stage lol.


seriously

You probably know...you can change the control scheme in the option menu.

I did change it to "lever" control but I'm starting to think that besides the turbo button spring jumps the "button" control is better. But the problem really lies with the slippery controls and the momentum based mechanics. It's like Sonic's levels had vertical walls full of spikes every 10 feet. Qwertyuiopasdf.

I got used to the button controls in the arcade. I have no trouble controlling the Turbo version. Too many are just too used to how most games in any particular genre work.

I beat Order of the Griffin!

Nice work!  I've had Order for a few years and never gotten more than a couple hours into it.  I keep wanting to play it but always kinda become a coward after starting a new party.  Just curious, how long did it take you?

Like Black_Tiger, I prefer the button control.

It actually is a lot of fun using the buttons...whereas the lever was frustrating.

Updated today.

Now we're up to 76/135!

Geez, I think maybe 3 weeks or so of playing it 1-3 hours a night.  It wouldn't be too bad but there are some really confusing warp puzzles that are basically impossible without drawing a map.  I said I would beat it without map drawing (because I'm lazy) but I ended up drawing maps because everything looks the same.

[Punch]

I hate games that force you to draw maps. It means that the level(s) are:

1- Too complex; or
2- Everything looks the same, no relevant landmarks or something as simple as different wall colors.

I beat M&M3 without maps... while the game is HUGE everything, especially the overworld, feels like a proper environment and dungeons are simple, with decent landmarking and good structure, so even more complex ones with dickish warps are doable. Also you can always use auxiliary spells like automap "wizard's eye", jump, etherealize, teleport, time distortion (teleport to dungeon entrance), and the Interdimensional Transport Box item.

This is very different from something like, for example, Double Dungeons and maybe, to a lesser extent, Order of the Griffon, imo.

I agree 100%.  While this type of game typically is not my cup of tea, I was really enjoying it through the first few dungeons.  Once I had to put pen to paper the only thing that got me through the game was knowing it would get crossed off the "beat in 2016" list.  I also am a freak and will not even play another game until I complete what I started.  Towards the end it became more of a chore than enjoyment to push through.  At least I can say I beat it... I likely will never play it again but who knows.  I will admit the later battles with tough enemies were fun because of the strategy involved.  Very basic strategy based battling but, that was the highlight of the game imho.

Didn't intend to post here, but here's a toughie out of the way.

Super Star Soldier 1 life clear (you pretty much have to beat it in 1 continue, I hate the brain)

Shit well done! I was really into playing this game awhile ago but that 4th stage boss still trumps me. What are your tips for that?

The green lightning is the best weapon, and you can attack both arms and the head when fully powered. The blue rings are okay since they have wide width.

It's easier to take out the arms first, so that way you have more room to dodge.

Other tip, I recommend missiles over shield.
