People like this piss me the F* off! They need their nuts slathered in Icy Hot.

 :(  I was recommended this game by a friend, he was amazed to hear the price was over twenty, this was a year or two ago, look at it now.. man

 Its because the title contains "Dragoon". If it were Dragon, Warrior Princess, etc, the game would be worthless lol. It seems any title containing Dragoon is overpriced. That's my theory [emoji38]


I'd be lying if that weren't a factor in my desire to follow up on my friend's recommendation. His suggestions were Thunderforce 3, Alicia Dragoon, and El Viento. He was a hardcore genesis guy back in the day, and was making the recommendations purely off of nostalgia. The first game I tried from his recommendations was right on the money. I had heard of and tried Thunderforce before via emulation, but after following his suggestion and picking it up and really putting some time into it, I became very addicted. I really wanted to follow up on his other recommendations, especially considering I hadn't tried them. Upon investigating the price of these other two games, I was hesitant, and he was equally hesitant and suggested I hold off at those prices.

In attempt to remain somewhat on topic, is this a gouge, and is the seller lying about Ballistix being *Very Fun*?

The title says it all. Its Balls [emoji90] [emoji107]

It's overpriced and it's not much fun.


As Necro stated, Ballistix is f*ckin' pi*ce of sh*te.

You will have more enjoyment from the cover artwork than the game itself.

This isn't Turbo related, but take a look at this dumb auction..

Well you know that Pat Contri just made the statement that NES Bonk looks as good as the TG16 version, and really pushes the consoles limits. I'm sure there will be much interest in it now.

I'd still say it's a strech, but he says it's almost as good.

I just looked up NES Bonk's Adventure.

Pat... is right. Looks pretty darn good, like the original with a lower color palette.



How do you embed youtube here?

Bonk NES shows how easily people can be fooled by a player sprite, even if it doesn't move properly. If the SMS/GG Sonic used a pixel-for-pixel Genesis Sonic sprite, they wouldn't suddenly be close to Genesis graphically.

FC Genjin/Bonk' Adventure NES is still impressive for what it is, but it's pretty far off if you try playing it or compare most aspects.

If it was close, then that would mean that SFII ports on SNES and Genesis look and sound exactly the same.

You can tell in the video how Bonk on the NES "feels".  It does not have the tight controls of the TG16 at all.  The poor controls are only amplified by the annoying sounds, making it a very frustrating game to play.  The GB version is much better than the NES version - meaning Bonk actually moves like Bonk.

I was just going to mention the GB Bonk. While I can't speak for the NES Bonk, the GB version has nice visuals and control but the game just doesn't click with me. Kinda like Bonk 3. Just play Adventure and Revenge over and over. They never get old.
