Tis a good game. It's amazing how well done the SMS version is. The TG version is obviously better in terms of graphics and colours, but not by leaps and bounds.

I voted for Dragon's Curse mostly because of nostalgic allusions to the Sega Master System version.

No Genesis version, only Game Gear and a Brazillian rebranding of the SMS version(unless you PS2 :wink:).

I can't believe there's not more love for Aero Blasters. Under-appreciated, this title is! Especially for 2 player play.

Agreed. The level two music punishes the competition.

Its pretty much my favorite Turbochip, but I'm not voting solely on preference. It gets pretty cheap in spots later on and requires some memorization to one credit.

Tough one here. I love quite a few games on the list, but I have to go with Bonk's Adventure. The game still stands well by today's standards. Fun platformer. A pleasure to play, even though I am a huge Devil's Crush and Splatterhouse fan to boot.

I agree for the most part about Bonk's Adventure, but I think graphically it looks incredibly dated. Much, much more so than 2 or 3.

I actually like the simplicity of the games graphics. It is easily the best controlling of the series. Any way you slice it, Bonk's Adventure is the shit!

T2K -  you've got awesome tastes !  nat , you know I know you do too.

Bonk's Adventure is a KILLER game !  I prefer it to #2, actually.   I should be playing #3 by the end of next week!!
TOTALLY excited about that !

I'll join the Kitsu bandwagon and vote Crush. The madman soundtrack as much as the gameplay
is why this game gets the most play outta the bunch.

Here is a track from the Devil & Alien Crush Soundtrack CD.

Part 3 is my favorite, they took everything that worked from the first two and then some. It's a huge game. The only thing about 3 is the soundtrack isn't as consistently good, but the good tunes certainly are rockin'.

I've never really had the chance to get into the third Bonk game. I'd like to one day, but when people on ebay treat it like you are buying a gold bar instead of a game, well, you get the picture. :?
