what a dork!!

i hate those mongos who just play our old and so beloved games on a wii or emu the first time and think they can judge them fairly, e.g  straight flushing them down the toilet. those arseholes wheren't there at that time, who goddamn they think they are?

I have to admit, I really wasn't impressed with Vigilante when I played it for the first time a few months ago. The thing is that this game came out in 1989, yet the year before, the ZX Spectrum computer saw the release of "Target Renegade" that, despite the limited colour, was a far better game. For the PC Engine to be trumped by the good ol' Speccy is not good.

Vigilante is a port of an arcade game. It's a damn good port, too, but it's still a port.

Personally, despite it's shortcomings, I have a blast playing through Vigilante. I love the music. It's got that late '80s/early '90s arcade sound.

Vigilante is a port of the arcade game. The good ol' Speccy was trumping a mighty arcade, not the PC Engine.

Ys Book I & II, Dungeon Explorer, Monster Lair and PC Genjin also came out in 1989. R-Type, Legendary Axe and Alien Crush were released in 1988.

Just because a mediocre or poor title gets released for one console, it doesn't mean that another platform exercises superiority over it simply because it saw at least one quality game release.

The NES doesn't trump the Genesis because it has Sword of Sodan while the NES has SMB3.

Exactly. It's a really good port of the game too.

I had just watched that review of Vigilante yesterday. Streets of Rage is a sweet game though.

I wasn't meaning that the Spectrum is "better", just that one particular game that came out a few months earlier that was very similar in style was better on it. It was to make the point that for a computer released in 1982 to have a better beat em up at the time does not say much for Vigilante. But of course, as everyone else is screaming in my ear Vigilante is a port, so it's hardly the PC Engine's fault. I haven't come across a bad port on the PC Engine yet.  I'm sure though given time, I will get to play Golden Axe

Word... I love the game.  It's the only game you'll find that features BLACK Skinheads.  Intense.

Haha, I never thought about that.

You damn insolent fool, the ZX Spectrum contains power NO MERE MORTAL can contain, let alone comprehend!

[ParanoiaDragon]

Vigilante is cool.

[Tatsujin]

Vigilante is cool.

and of course it is!! good ol' 80s arcade mashing. the grafx and colors where awesome back then, and it produces a great ambiance. ok, the BGM might have been better on that. but still decent.
that game was definitely one of the better hucards released back then.

[Turbo D]

that dude just sucks, lol. I can't believe that it was too hard for him, what a loser 

[Tatsujin]

that's the general problem of our "halo & co" games player generation!

[Sinistron]

Vigilante rocks the house when you have friends over.  Nothing like watching your friends get whipped in the face by a chain wielding tough and screaming with laughter as they get pwned.
