What games do you love that you think others give short shrift?

[Nagoyan]

I've got to join in and say that Double Dungeons is one of the best 2-player experiences I've had on the Turbo. Zooming through the dungeons and building up levels and equipment to take down the tougher non-random monsters that guard the way to the more advanced parts of each dungeon is a great time. It's fine as a single-player game, but having a friend along makes it into a race to see who gets the best weapons/finds the boss first. I also like how every time you encounter the other player, the text box always displays the other guy's name with an exclamation point.

Plus, like many other first person dungeon crawls, the lack of an auto-map combined with the huge size of the later dungeons means this game can seriously improve one's spatial awareness with extended play.

The other game I had to mention is Last Alert. Sure the voice overs are goofy but there is some solid run 'n gun action to be had.

The goofy voiceovers are part of what MAKE Last Alert great. They're just awesome.

... there is some solid run 'n gun action to be had.

Yes. However, I always wished they had included a difficulty setting to increase the challenge. Last Alert should have offered  a "Brutal Mode" for masochists.

TURBO GRAFPHFICKXS

This is the plural form of "Turbographics"

Wouldn't that be TURBO GRAFPHFICKXES, in that case? It ends in an X, therefore add ES. If plural and possessive perhaps TURBO GRAFPHFICKXES'S would do.

Esteban is correct, though in Canada (and other backwards countries that use words like 'colour') the plural is TURBOU GRAFPHFI.

[Arkhan]

WITH BAJILLIONS OF TURBOB COLOURS.

CROWD AROUND YOUR ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE.

Methinks this discussion of plurals and whatnot has clearly moved outside the realm of proper English and into the absurd.

Its not English.

Its Obeylish.

TurboGrafx was born beyond the realm of "proper English".  He does not ken its meaning.

I'm with you there. I think a big thing that separates it from a lot of other military-style action games is that it doesn't take itself that seriously and that's because of the voiceovers. Come to think of it, I'd like to check out the dialogue in the Japanese version sometime to see if it's a more serious take on the story.  

Yes. However, I always wished they had included a difficulty setting to increase the challenge. Last Alert should have offered  a "Brutal Mode" for masochists.

I agree. By the time Guy reaches the upper levels with the really powerful weapons, most of the enemies can't put up a decent fight. By the time I got to the last boss, I found the timer to be my worst enemy!

One indication that Last Alert did a few thing right is the fact that we continue to play the game, despite the fact that it is "easy". Also, I love when Guy is riding the elevator (not a cinema) and yells "INDRAAAAAAAAAAA!" towards the end of the game. Subtle, but very nice detail. IIRC, they have two tracks on the CD: one sans the voice, and one with Guy yelling "Indra". No voice samples overlaid on the song. Nope. That would be too easy.

Most people don't like Bravoman but for some reason I love it. Its got nice graphics (though repetitive), it's a worthy challenge and it's definitely unique. I got really hooked on this game until I finally beat it. The shooting stages suck though.

[Arkhan]

who the hell doesnt like Bravoman?  Those people should be clubbed with a golf club.
