TOTALLY FAWKING AWESOME 6- MEG HUCARD DUKE EM' OUT

[MurderDate]

I would def. say Neutopia is a must-play for the late 80s fan.  It's awesome.  It's a TG16 must for absolute sure.

6-MEG?  Now that's just WAY too much power!

[_joshuaTurbo]

Neutopia II is the best!

But for the record- Neutopia one borrowed from NES Zelda, and SNES Zelda III borrowed from Neutopia.

Raiden + Nuetopia II = unstoppable

[Bonknuts]

you forgot BubbleGum Crash English version...6megs.

Darius Plus.

Neutopia II is crap. 

[spenoza]

Neutopia II had fun (if flawed) fake Zelda action. What could be more fun than a flawed fake?

[Black Tiger]

Darius Plus easy.

[Tatsujin]

Raiden with ease!!

[Turbo D]

Raiden!

I have a problem with almost every port of Raiden. They're fun, but I played enough arcade Raiden that I just couldn't stand the downgrade of any of the home ports. The only home version of Raiden I like is the PS1 Raiden Project.

So while it's a good game, it's not as good as many other TG-16 shooters. Home consoles just weren't meant to play Raiden in full glory, and that's a game that needed the full glory to be good. When you distill it down to something weaker for home consoles it just loses the magic.

Raiden is a rip off of Tiger Heli, so by default Darius wins

Raiden biatches!!!

Shocked at all the Raiden love. Raiden is mediocre at best.

Are you really surprised though? I've always had a love for Raiden, but I have a love for tough shooters. Raiden wasn't revolutionary in terms of gameplay, but it's a classic shmup. It's also one of the better translations of the game, IMHO. I still need to get Super Raiden on Super CDROM2.

Here's a comparison of all the "16 bit" systems:
