Anyone else a Tricky Kick fan?

[ShinobiMan]

Ah... Tricky Kick. It's one of those games that I love (well, the concept anyway) but it's so difficult I can't play it. I can maybe beat a few of the early puzzles, but it just gets royally hard afterwards. Anyone a fan of this game? Has anyone actually beaten it? I'd love to hear some stories.

I don't really care for it.  It's too tricky for me, and I end up having to cheat to get anywhere.

I have really no experience with it, I just wish IGS would have kept supporting the Turbo in the states.  One of my fav games of theirs is Sonic Spike!!  Would have loved to see more from them.

I love this game.  It's a tricky game, obviously HENCE THE NAME.

but, I have completed it twice.  I like these kinds of puzzle-games though.


If you don't like it 2-3 levels in, you never will, so don't play it unless you want to torture yourself.


this game and boxyboy kicked ass

Tricky Kick, hmm is that part of or the beginning of the Kick series of games in the PC Engine universe?

ya know-
Tricky Kick, KickBall, and then of course Chip Chan Kick on the PCFX!

lol- chip chan was some pretty great puzzling.  Its too bad more of that happiness wasn't on the PCFX to really show off what it could do.

One of my favorite games on PCE is KickBall.  Anyone else play this?  Its crazy fun!  My team is the shubibinman men.  Then a close second would be the wallruss' people team.  They kick ass!

I'd love to play in a KickBall tournament someday.

There were puzzles in chip chan kick?

Uh?

[_joshuaTurbo]

wasn't that a puzzle game like Bubble Bobble?

[Necromancer]

Tricky Kick, KickBall, and then of course Chip Chan Kick on the PCFX!

Don't forget the awesome puzzling action found in Andre Panza Kickboxing.  That shit's the bees' knees.

wasn't that a puzzle game like Bubble Bobble?

Bubble Bobble's a puzzle game?

[_joshuaTurbo]

Bubble Bobble's a puzzle game?

yes, wait... what?  yes.  That's what I've always called them.  Bubble Bobble, Nightmare in the dark, Buster Bros.  Yea, aren't they usually listed as puzzle type games?

[Necromancer]

Yea, aren't they usually listed as puzzle type games?

I don't think so.  Aren't they just action games?

[Arkhan]

There are no puzzles or much thinking involved in Buster Bros, Bubble Bobble, or any of those games.

You just shoot shit with whatever weapon the game theme gave you, and hope you dont die, usually to the loopy, happy music.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_puzzle_video_games  wiki says buster bros is a puzzler.  but Bubble Bobble isn't listed....

so according to them you guys are half wrong. 

Maybe I'm thinking puzzle/strategy or something.... I dunno.

I always classified games like bubble bobble, Dr. Mario, Bomberman, and Lemmings all together.... is that wrong?

And just for the record I like Andre Panza!  alot!  I liked the game on SNES(as Best of the Best) but really grew attached to the TG16 version with the awesome career and create a fighter modes.  Wasted a few great hours on that bad boy.

More reason TG>SNES  lmao

[Arkhan]

That is some mental shit.

Whats next, Contra is a puzzler?

what is the puzzle in buster bros?

WHICH BUBBLE AM I SHOOT NEXT? THE BIG RED ONE, OR MAYBE THE LITTLE BLUE ONE?

Coming from a programmer of puzzle games you should know

[Necromancer]

There's strategy involved in Buster Bros., but where's the puzzle?
