This Cross Wiber I'm playing is very, ummm, cheap with enemies.  It's like Nintendo hard.  Enemies literally spawn into you for a hit that's almost impossible avoid.  The game is easy enough until they add jumping and pitfalls where enemies just spam and you fall for a cheap death.  However the bosses are super easy and no tact is needed just spam them.  Very mediocre game.  I'm up to level 10.

Cross Wiber has a great soundtrack.

Killed 5 bosses so far in Exile, I'm hoping to finish it up tomorrow.

Cross Wiber has a great soundtrack.

Indeed it does, really stands out.  I'm at the last level now, very cheap game hits and mechanics wise but I'm getting good at kicking enemies down and learned tricks to avoid spam bullets where they pass right through you. 

The shooting levels are great however the bosses are a joke.  It fells like the game just repeatedly punches you in the face to add difficulty.  No tact or progression, kinda like trying to play a game of chess where someone just keeps shaking to board.  Cryptic levels where you have to guess a way out, and super easy bosses.  It is very nostalgic however and musts been a good title in 1990 but does not hold up at all.

It's another game that was well on its way to being great, but didn't receive the final polish and tweaking it needed. The variety of the stage design and general gameplay is nice and it would be a classic if even a few gameplay tweaks were implemented. At least it is cheap and easy to acquire.

I have been playing Raiden since right before VGS. I played in the tournament and was mortified by my low score , as I had the second lowest score. Since then I have clawed my way to the forth level, however I've only made it past the third boss three or four times so far. I anticipate being able to consistently get past that boss sometime this decade .  To alleviate my sometimes extreme frustration with Raiden I have been relaxing with a few other games- Mysterious Song, Pyramid Plunder, and horror of horrors a non turbo game Chrono Trigger.

Oh my lords of thunder.  PLease censor such things from now on

I don't think my heart can stand it.

I played through and beat Galaxy Deka Gayvan last week.  Below is the comment/mini-review that I posted on PCE Daisakusen! concerning this game.


I recently played through this game with my sons and really enjoyed it!  I have to rate this beat-'em-up as a '10' out of 10, because it just simply does what it's supposed to do.  It's a fun simple beat-'em-up with decent graphics and IT HAS A 2-PLAYER SIMULTANEOUS MODE!  While the controls are rather simple, what with only having 2 buttons, IT HAS A 2-PLAYER SIMULTANEOUS MODE!  Using a 3-button controller will likely be useful to most gamers, because you need to use the 'Select' button to switch your character to 'Power Suit' mode, and you will be doing this often enough to make the 3-button controller useful.  Did I mention that THIS GAME HAS A 2-PLAYER SIMULTANEOUS MODE!?  Well, it does, and that makes this game so much more fun to play.  There are so  many great games for the PC Engine which do not have a 2-player simultaneous mode, that I was very happy to discover that this one did.

This game also has a cute-but-rather-lame fighting mode, where you and your opponent can choose from either one of the two main characters or from three different enemies which you fight throughout the game.  This mode will probably not get a lot of play time, but it's nice that they thought to add it to this game.  I think of it more as a bonus feature than as part of the game.   This game also has cut scenes, voice acting, and whatnot as a CD game should.  Anyway, get this game if you don't already have it!

  Nope it's good for you to get a heart attack every now and again.

This was on my list, I think it'll bump up closer to the top after such a glowing review.  Sounds like its worth more than a Try.

Finished Exile.  Definitely worth the play-through.  My one complaint now is that it left me wanting more.  Stupid Wicked Phenomenon's stupid price tag.

It's a totally different experience. I have replayed Exile many, many times over the years.... Wicked P., on the other hand, has been far less alluring.

Get the PC Engine version - it's cheap and better anyway.
