Introducing myself and Turbo Video Reviews......

[ProfessorProfessorson]

I'm sitting on JB Harold and Sherlock Holmes 1 and 2 waiting for enough time to devote to playing them. Back in the Turbo CD/Sega CD days I despised these FMV style games, but my tastes in games have "broadened" with age so I'm going to give these a try eventually. Excellent review as always!

J.B. Harold rocks and holds up well today. No FMV. You will like it.

NOTE: iOS versions exist for several JB Harold games...all but one is in English, though, and I can't get very far without asking myself, "What the hell are you doing?" stumbling around menus and clues.

JB Harold has been on my wishlist for awhile. It has kind of become harder to find in the last year or so.

 JB Harold was pretty well done for that kind of title. I remember when Sinistron did a review of it so I ended up having to play it myself to get some screen shots.

  I like your video reviews as well and I'm curious also:  will there be a DVD 3?  I am considering buying the first two, but wanted to offer a suggestion in case there's a future "Version 2" or Blu-Ray compilation:

  Perhaps you can offer them in a jewel case packaging instead of regular DVD (or Blu-Ray) size?  Maybe with cool orange spines and TG font?  It would be nice to have them next to my Duo games, rather than with DVDs (I have DVDs all boxed up these days).

 Keep up the great work!

Hey, thanks for your great compliments.  I truly appreciate it.  I am planning a 3rd volume when we get to episode #75 (which...isn't too far away so perhaps early next year). 

I like your "jewel case" idea.  I'll have to look into that for the future.  One thing is...there will be 6 total DVD volumes (almost like, a TurboGrafx video encyclopedia).  And, a friend of mine who works for a DVD manufacturing company is actually designing a "case" to hold all 6 volumes perfectly for me.  On the artwork side it will look like the original TurboGrafx box.  It's really cool.  I'm lucky to have awesome friends.

So...in twenty years when I finished the series (ha ha)...I'm hoping he'll still be alive (ha ha) to help me make the case.  Lol!

Thanks!  Your support is always appreciated and awesome.

   The box idea sounds cool.  Looking foward to that.  marking the calendar Fall 2032. 

[spida1a]

Yes, 2032 sounds about right.

Same time as Demolition Man!  So...we'll all celebrate with dinner and dancing...at Taco Bell!     

[turboswimbz]

Ahhhh. I needed that laugh.  As a side note, I think an Extra episode on the sounds of the Turbo would be a neat topic.

[fraggore]

thanks man been watching the videos and enjoying them good work.

  OK then I'll hold off for now and wait to purchase the complete Turbo Views box set once they're all done.  I do hope you'll consider a TG-themed jewel case option, but regardless, what you're doing is top notch and I can't wait to see your future reviews I just hope you won't get burned out by the time you get to Might & Magic III and Falcon!

[spida1a]

Ha ha!  Thanks my friend.  I appreciate that.

So, I'll hold you a set for 2032 my friend (by then we'll be using "credits" or something instead of money, right?).   Ha ha!

 "Final Soldier" - Turbo Views Import #9 (PC-Engine / Wii game REVIEW!)


My thoughts exactly on this one. Solid all around but my least favorite in the series. I am seriously looking forward to the only other remaining game in the Soldier series yet to be reviewed.

[kazekirifx]

No way. Final Soldier is nearly as good as Soldier Blade. WTF is wrong with it. Graphics, music, gameplay, all excellent. Soldier Blade wins by just a hair.

Super Star Soldier was my first experience with the Soldier series, and while it's not my favorite shooter on the console it has all the ingredients necessary for a good shootie experience. Final Soldier was next on my list. I liked the game but felt it was too easy and the power-ups weren't as interesting. Killer music as always though. Finally, I picked up Soldier Blade. The first time I played it I felt as if I was playing a 32-Bit shooter. Seriously. The graphics were sharper and more detailed, the weapons were fascinating, and the music rocked my knuckle hairs off.

Thanks for always finding this "old" thread and updating it for me.  Ha ha.  You guys are the best. 

[turbokon]

Hey spida, this is superkon316 on YouTube. I fired up super star soldier and almost got to the boss on stage 7 the other night because of your video review. I really enjoy your videos. I hope to still watch them when I'm an old geezer:)

[spida1a]

Hey man, that's great my friend.  Excellent accomplishment!!   Thanks for the kind words.
