Pat & Ian TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine Let's Plays
« on: October 21, 2016, 10:41:09 AM »
Pat & Ian have recently started a Let's Play series, they're all NES so far and I haven't watched any of them, but apparently in the future they're going to do Let's Plays of TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine games.

Here's the first one Ghost Manor

Yeah I should say I'm not necessarily recommending to watch these.
Just note worthy that a Youtuber like Pat & Ian are doing TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine Let's Plays.

In fact I'm not a big fan of Let's Plays in general, the only ones I have ever really enjoyed have been the BitHead1000 ones.

Don't worry, I knew what I was getting into. :)

I'm glad that you posted this (for the reasons your stated).

Well....if anything good came out of this for me, I kind of think Ghost Manor looks fun and I may try to emulate it now. I've always just ignored it because I'm not ponying up the $$ the real deal commands.

For what it's worth, Ghost Manor is a Wizards & Warriors clone. Once you realize that, it becomes much easier to play.

Perhaps it's just because of the players, but Ghost Manor seems terrible :p

Ghost Manor isn't really a great game, but it's not bad either. It's very similar to many "legendary" NES games which are celebrated only because they were on a Nintendo console.

I agree with you, in general. That said, I would argue that Wizards and Warriors *is* a better game. Had Ghost Manor's controls been tighter/more responsive...or (I could list a bunch of things that simply needed to be refined), then I would replay Ghost Manor as often as I replay Wizards and Warriors.

:)

Also, I wish the songs in both games were longer/better.

As a Turbo fan, I don't understand what they are doing... Both of these games were among the easiest to purge from my collection when I decided to only keep the games I liked....  There are so many good games they could be playing instead...

Maybe some advanced meta-trolling?  :dance:

I think that they hope the more obscure/goofy stuff will make for better entertainment.

Plus, they won't have to compete with the "popular games" that already have "decent" coverage on TubeYou.

NOTE: I don't actually watch too much video game-related content on TuneYou, so I might be talking out of my arse.
