games with caravan modes
« on: March 27, 2016, 11:22:20 AM »
I haven't seen a comprehensive list of all turbo/pce games with a caravan mode - maybe I am just not seeing it! But on the off chance such a list does not exist, I'd like to make one.

CD
- Spriggan [Seirei Senshi Spriggan] (Summer Carnival '91)
- Alzadick (Summer Carnival '92)
- Nexzr [Nexzr Special] (Summer Carnival '93)
- Star Parodier
- Tokimeki Memorial (Force Gear and Twinbee)
- Anearth Fantasy Stories Taikenban (Cycho Rider)

HU
- Super Star Soldier
- Final Soldier
- Soldier Blade
- Gunhed (Special)
- Terra Cresta II
- Coryoon: Child of Dragon

ALMOST CARAVAN
- Parodius Da!


BOSS RUSH
- Super Darius


I must be missing some though, yes?

(I was always surprised there wasn't anything in Galaxy Fraulein Yuna)

Didn't see Tokimeki when I started this post hours ago. :P

For what it's worth, Super Darius has a boss rush mode.

Does Parodius 's special stage count?

It's score based and there are three exclusive bosses.

Hmm, good question. It depends on how we define a caravan stage. *usually* they are timed, and the parodius da special mode isn't. But it does have other pillars of caravan stages - that is to say multiple paths and things to shoot to reveal score stuff. So it is ultimately a score attack mode, with a limited scope, which is perhaps more important than being timed?

I think I'll add an "almost caravan" section and put that in there :P

And to Black Tiger's point... boss rush is a bit further from the edge for me, so I think it requires its own category again. it does have little things you can hit for more points, though!

Ah, nice!!! I'll keep adding the peripheral ones though, since they've got similar vibes.
