Finally today I received a dungeon explorer for my Turbo Express! The game is awesome. Definitely one of my favorites despite the fact that the password in the small TE's screen is pretty much undecipherable... And the music... Geez I LOVE it... I think I was actually headbanging with it at the King's room  :-"

I am playing psychosis right now. I also, this week, got a copy of dungeon explorer for around $4 for my PC Engine. Just thought I would see what it was. Can't understand Japanese. It reminds me of Gauntlet. I am thinking of getting a copy for my TG 16.

Gauntlet + ARPG-lite = better than Gauntlet! (for me, anyway).

Nothing against Gauntlet (it's great!) but I find DE to be superior. More satisfying, possibly because the added structure + bosses + exploration break the experience into a variety of activities...whereas Gauntlet can become a monotonous slog...

After spending some time playing DE I see what you are saying. It is more satisfying and I believe more addictive. The exploring element adds a lot to the game for me, almost a RPGish feel. This game has been added to my most played games for the system.

 In the past 2 weeks I've finished Super Castlevania 4(thank you SD2SNES) and  100%'ed C:Rondo of Blood. C:RoB is such an amazing game.

been playing a lot of monster lair. this game is bad ass. love how the first half of the stage has a bit of a run'n'gun, platformer, side scrolling feel to it and the other half is a shooter.

i might have to do a review on this! i'm really enjoying this title!

This is one of my fave games of all time.

MASTER GURU SPEAKETH:

Don't use turbo--you can adjust the missile and "spinning orb" powerups by holding the button down vs. tapping at proper frequency.

I grab every single powerup...because it is fun. ...but if a tough boss is coming up, you might be more careful and strategic. (I like the challenge of beating each boss with whatever weapon I happen to end up with).

YES!!

I finally picked this up about a month or so back, and I cannot get enough either!  :mrgreen:

I will take this, and any other tips that I can get, because sweet lord am I having difficulty completing this one!

And BOO to using turbo switches EVER!  :lol:

My brother and his wife and kids came over. While the kids played, the four of us played bomberman, sonic spike, and then took turns playing alien crush.
Since I'm off Monday, I'm hoping to start Lords of the Rising Sun tomorrow and continue on Monday.

I just beat Dragon's Curse. What a great game. It has nice progression. Some great music in there too. My only complaint is that it was a little short and that was with me not knowing where to go.

I've been playing Forgotten Worlds.

Sweet lord is this a difficult one! It's obviously pretty comparable to Side Arms, but so far I'm definitely giving the difficulty edge to Forgotten.

Having the option for a second player to join in should definitely help though.

Blazing Lasers that I got a couple of days ago. Awesome shoot-em-up but towards the last -it seems- stages it suddenly becomes insane. Full of flying shit everywhere in my tiny TE's screen, lol.
