What Turbo game are you currently playing?

[Necromancer]

They're both great, but Soldier Blade is a hard shewty to beat.  It's just about perfect.

[Bloufo]

Just regular old Bonk's Adventure.

Been playing it on my TE. Started it up again today, but the damn portable has all of a sudden lost all sound.

Yeah, I am worried about the state of my TE.... I HAVEN'T PLAYED IT IN A LONG TIME...

I'm now using a pair of speakers to get sound out of it.

It's not exactly "portable" now , more like a stopgap measure until it gets repaired.

I would like to think that you are simply heeding the advice from this Public Service Announcement (PSA)...

 

Needless to say, the best way to experience TurboExpress is when the floor is trembling and your neighbors are yelling "SimEarthquake!"

Does anyone have any tips etc on this? It seems to require some grinding here and there to buy the better weapons etc and I'd love to just save some time by knowing which ones to get. Or if I need to actually do anything in the towns.

It appears there is some sort of trivia game or something in some of the huts but I guess the questions or whatever are randomized so I assume there is no cheat sheet to these.

Played Last Alert this morning. I love the cheesy localization.

Joshua Turbo sent me copies of L-Dis and Cosmic Fantasy 1 for Christmas this year. Haven't spent much time with CF but L-Dis is pretty freakin' cool. The graphics are nice and colorful in "typical" PCE style making it perfect for these dreary winter days.

My older bro knows me well, and got me a swell gift for Christmas:



Extra money for the USA version, but worth it for that heart-rending dialog.

It's shocking how much better this game is than Last Alert, and Bloody Wolf is essentially a Mercs clone itself! (Does that make Last Alert a clone of a clone?)

Data East has a number of respectable clones under its belt though (Midnight Resistance and Vapor Trail come to mind).

I should break out my copy of Bloody Wolf. It's been years since I've played it.

[NightWolve]

Yeah, one of the best games for the action military genre in that era. I played it many, many times. I won it with a TurboGrafx-16 system, but it was broken by the TurboExpress I later bought... A new TurboExpress will have very tight contact pins, and the first HuCard you insert will take more force than usual (at least, that was my experience) - Bloody Wolf was the first game I wanted to play on it, and it wound up breaking it sadly... Something to consider if you manage to find a new one, use a shitty HuCard to slightly wear out the brass contact pins upon first use.

That's a pretty crazy experience. Sorry to hear about your poor Huey.

Towns don't have side quests as far as I know.

The snow level and volcano levels are good grinding spots. The 2nd level with the bunnies is a great early spot.

Best armor is more important than the best sword.

The weapons and armor in stores don't upgrade until you buy something, so have no worry buying.

Try and play around with the pause menu options. One option gives you invincibility during boss fights, almost critical for the last boss

Mini games are useless but fun. You could also try easy mode which prevents you from falling down puts

PM sunteam_paul, he is a big fan of the game and knows a lot more than I do.

Thank you! That alone will save me a lot of time and confusion.
