Just picked up Exile over the weekend, and haven't been able to put it down for the last two days. It kind of combines top down elements from an RPG during town and overworld exploration, with side scrolling Cadash-like action when traversing dungeons. Wonder if Wicked Phenomenon is just as good.

I loved exile, it is a pretty good game all the way around. maybe a bit short, but good.   
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Spenoza: The wannabe masculinity just overwhelms.

I finally got ahold of a working duo this weekend, but have nothing to play on it. It's sitting on my shelf, taunting me. Cruel.

Don't get your hopes up about Wicked Phenomenon. Sadly, it just isn't as fun as Exile. The first game was too easy, whereas WP is frustrating at points (whether or not WP deserves our love has frequently been discussed...look for Rover's/nodtveidt's old posts for the PRO-WP view. Most folks, who haven't really played it much, don't invest much time in it after it leaves a bad initial taste in their mouth.

FINAL PRO-TIP: Clear all the good games on your schedule and then give WP a chance.

Somewhat agree. I think I liked it more than esteban, but he's right about the balance issues. Apparently working designs got into a battle with the developers who made it too easy, and after a bunch of back and forth, they were forced to release it. They spiked the difficulty about half way through, and the platforming became very tough. Exile 1 was certainly better. WP was a victim of project management.

I played and reviewed Camp California for the hell of it. All I can say is that.. it's certainly awesomely generic.

I just picked up a TG16 last week.  Never owned one but I did have a Turbo Express as a Kid until it was stolen by a friend.... :-s

1. I just beat Bonks Adventure, too easy and just walked through it the first time I ever played it, found decent amount of secrets too.
2.  I LOVE Legendary AX II, getting far, what a great game and great music.
3.  Legendary AX I is hard as nails but slogging along
4.  Bravoman is not as bad as advertised but still enjoy it somewhat
5.  Victory Run to me is like a serious out run.  The Cars scaling look really good, possibly better then Mega Drive Outrun.  The game is kinda cheap but them's the breaks I guess, broke my top gear and was just a walking dead in 3rd gear till the time ran out.

6.  Double Dungeons, I have no idea what is going on here, how do you attack without getting killed?  I can't even pass the 1st level.
7.  Bonks Revenge I'll run through, love the Grafx but just needs parallax badly.  I suck at the bonus levels they are the hardest part of the game
8.  Alien Crush is very fun, wishing I had Devils Crush
9.  Drop Off I played for like five seconds.  I don't get it.  Silly game based on story alone.
10. Ninja Spirit is a fun game, kinda hard but maybe I am just not used to it yet.
11. Keith Courage, who thought this was a good idea?  What a terrible pack in game, such mediocrity it hurts.
12. To the Hoop, I am sure it is a fine game but I just watched the Demo, I such at sports games.
13. Power Golf, this actually looks good.  I played a round and got a 12.
14. Blazing Lasers, the most graphically impressive game.  Really impressive and the SNES could never run this much crap.  The Mega Drive could but not as colorful, a true console definer that waves it's superiority in the face of "lesser" consoles who can't pull it off.  Reminds me of ALPHA MISSION 2 on my Neo Geo.

I agree with many of your initial thoughts.

I will simply say...

LA II is indeed awesome.

LA I isn't as hard as it seems, but there are certainly some challenging parts. There are parts you can run through, but other parts where you should slow down.

I have never been able to enjoy Bravoman, but that's because I don't want to play it more than a few minutes. I'm hopeful that the game might actually provide a modicum of entertainment, but...

I like Victory Run, and you'll find that stocking key parts adds an awesome (at times frustrating) layer of strategy. I JUST WISH THERE WAS A BETTER VARIETY OF VEHICLES and "nighttime" wasn't so dark (depends on television settings).

Don't give up on Double Dungeons. It's a nice little game that (depending on your tastes) can start to grow on you.

Ninja Spirit is fun. For a real challenge (ha!) there is a ONE-HIT-DEATH mode (PCE mode)...the North American version is more forgiving.

BLAZING LAZERS MUSIC IS FRIGGIN' AWESOME.

I played some Star Parodier this morning.  Everything was going great, but I died in Scene 7 and it went downhill fast from there. 
I posted a video of my failed attempt to get through Scene 7.  I die a lot. :)
