playing one of my favorites- Dynasty Wars (Tenchi o Karau).  and actually finally uploaded my video review of it on Youtube, after making it back in Jan.. lol




I totally enjoyed watching that! I always thought this was a strategy game! I totally want this game (I gotta look and see if I have it already...I may have picked it up for the soundtrack).

Estaban - glad it provided good background info for you!  you can try to play the arcade ROM first on Callus / Mame while you search for it :)

I'm a bit pooped.  one perfect minty complete copy showed up and I was gonna snag it, but got caught up in family conversations post dinner tonight and forgot... went for a very reasonable price too of 2300 yen.. normally this CIB (esp with reg card too!) goes for 5000 yen easy.  bah.

New Adventure Island. I've been playing the Wii VC version for like 6 months, on and off. Finally up to world 6. There should be enough dead Master Higgenses to build a bridge off the island.

I just recently beat it for the first time. The music in that game is pretty sweet too!

There's one track around world 5-3 that sounds almost like a chiptunes Beach Boys or Beatles Back in the USSR type song.

Well, someone better make a video/mp3 comparing the two for us, dammit!

Please!

I finally beat Rondo of Blood today! Once I got Maria, most of it was pretty easy. I guess I have to beat it with Richter to get a real ending? I was a bit disappointed with Dracula (playing as Maria), I killed him on my first try... Either way, this was one of the best games of the whole 16-bit era.
Take off yer flip flops and set up the tripod: it's bag kickin' time!

Still chugging away at LoX, but this weekend I played a fair amount of Hi-Leg Fantasy. I was expecting boobs and not much else, but I was pleasantly surprised! Yes, there are boobs, but there's much more than that here. The art work is awesome and the music is great. My gripes so far are minor. The encounter rates seem high, but I kinda feel that way about most games like this. The fact that you can't access your status screen in town also irks me. While I'm at it, I wish menu in general was smarter: wrap around—don't just stop at the bottom or top item, also don't go back to the first menu item whenever something is selected. Anyway, the game play is pretty standard menu based RPG. I still don't have any idea how to use magic, but that didn't stop me in Cosmic Fantasy 2. I haven't gotten that far yet: I've got the ostrich, crossed the river, fought boss in cave, but I really like it so far!

EDIT: I think I sort of defeated the point I was trying to make. I thought Hi-Leg would be some low quality glitchy game that people only cared about for the porn, but it's actually pretty well made!

Have not played my TG in a while, since moving, but I will be playing Bonk's Adventure when it arrives (in the 3-in-1 CD version).

Put Ys Book 1 & 2 into the Duo Monday afternoon, watched the introduction, and then got dragged into a pool match that lasted the rest of the evening (interspersed with some 4-player NES Gauntlet II action).  The introduction looked great, I just hope that I can find some time to play it.

Of course it looked great, after all it is an ideal utopia! :-D

I just got Gates of Thunder in a trade with Beemer, so I've been playing a fair bit of that.  I also played some Dungeon Explorer yesterday.  I just got a TurboTap, so I'm looking forward to some 2-player goodness the next time my "Obedient" friend comes over.

Heck yes! Ghost Manor will infuriate you, but, if you stick with it, you'll find it oddly charming.

At least, that's what I thought, until I got stuck (mentally exhausted) at the 80-90% mark (my own estimation).

I have to re-visit Ghost Manor, because I really do want to give it another go. But it can be DAMN frustrating. And I loved Wizards & Warriors on the NES. I don't know, maybe I'm losing my edge .
