Wow!  It's been a while since I've been on.  Ordyne is far from being the worst or even a bad game.  I have fond childhood memories of playing it and it is one of the reason I went back to collecting Turbo/PCE about 8-9 years ago.  It's great playing coop too!  It's got great graphics and it controls well.  Also a good variety of levels.  The only problem I can see is some slowdown occasionally.  Maybe it's a bit to kiddy for you?

I agree. Its plays really well. Much better that a lot of realistic shooters, for example. I like it much more than any of the 194x series. My brother got it as he free game when he got his $49.99 TG-16 back in the day. If not for that I probably wouldn't have given it a fair chance.

I think where it falls down is the fact that its kind of like a cute-em-up before that min-genre really existed so it lacks to nice graphics of Hanatakadaka or Cotton, and the end product is just weird.

Just bought this game, and my roommate and I played it for the first time.  Our conversation went a little like this:

Me - "Great co-op shooter!  This is a lot of fun!"
Him - This game sucks my balls.
Me - "I don't think it is that bad, let's play some more."
Him - "f*ck that, let's play Moto Roader."

...Quite the polarizing game indeed.

I always thought ordyne was fun, and still thank my lucky stars that I got a loose huey of it instead of a box.  The cover art gives me a headache in either form.  #-o

Yeah that was a blind buy. It is doofy, and I wish the music was different from level to level. I guess my point was that the American coverart is so bad, I wouldn't have even blind bought it.

I actually like the US cover better than the JP one.

Call me crazy, but you guys are smokin' something.

Also, Ordyne is certainly not as horrible as some folks believe.

USA, USA, USA!
