the design of the original white model..   was it really sad to have put this thing in my bed next to my pillow back in those days

Buster Bros. is the only game here I can't comment on, as I haven't played it beyond the five seconds I used to test out my copy when I bought it.

Have Aaron over sometime for beers, brats, and Buster Bros.  You won't be disappointed.

I am very picky.

You have interesting tastes.
I would like to know what you think of these titles:-

SNES-
Flying Hero
Aladdin
Area 88
Kirby Superstar
Popn Twinbee

Genesis-
Aladdin
Ristar
Lightening force
Streets of Rage 2
Shadow Dancer

[Necromancer]

Indeed.  He loathes Shape Shifter yet loves Turrican. 

[ddd1234]

I never played Shape Shifter.....but heard that it's like Legendary axe.

[Arkhan]

I never played Shape Shifter.....but heard that it's like Legendary axe.

Whoever said TEH LEGEMDARY ACKS is like SHAEPSHIFTA, is full retard.

Never go full retard.

Also, Turrican still sucks. 

[Bonknuts]

Never go full retard..  

 One of the best parts of Tropic Thunder

 It's neither like LA I or LA II. But fare warned, Shape Shifter is one of those love it or hate type of games.

SNES-
Flying Hero

Never tried it.

Aladdin

Genesis version is much better.

Area 88

U.N Squadron. Lackluster.

Kirby Superstar

All Kirby is legit.

Popn Twinbee

It's ok.

Genesis-
Aladdin

Much better than the stinky SNES version. But I never really understood this game so I passed it by for the most part.

Ristar

Cool for 5 minutes but gets old fast.

Lightening force

Never tried it.

Streets of Rage 2

Not bad, but seems to lack some charm from the original. Then again, such is the fate of sequels.

Shadow Dancer

Was never really much of a Shinobi fan in general.

I dislike The Legendary Axe but I hate Shape Shifter. I could probably get past LA's technical issues and try to enjoy it, but Shape Shifter is fundamentally broken and is impossible for me to enjoy no matter how much technical savvy the rest of the game has. If the gameplay is f*cked, the game is f*cked, and its gameplay is f*cked beyond repair. I think the only way you can compare LA to SS is that they're both platform slashers... nothing else really compares the two outside of the specific subgenre. As for Turrican... well, Arkhan hates it because it's not a brainless run-and-gun like Contra. Also, it wipes the walls with him. I like Turrican because it's a thinking man's gunner and relies heavily on accuracy of firing and memorization, not blind bullet-festing that any scrub can do.

I completed both on the C64, and the Amiga ones, and the SNES one.  The game just sucks.  It's got nothing to do with the thinking aspect.  The thinking aspect is boring.  Theres not much strategy to "shoot randomly into the air to see if you get a platform to appear with STUFFS IN IT!".  Then: ROLL AROUND AND BREAK THE LITTLE TARDPODS.  OH HERE COMES SOME BATS.  BETTER SHOOT THEM AND THEN CONTINUE ON YOUR MERRY WAY. ENJOY THE MUSIC AS YOU MEANDER THROUGH BOREDOM.

DONT BOTHER TRYING TO AIM UP.  ROBOTMEN CANT AIM UP. NEVERMIND THAT YOU CAN AIM 8 WAYS IN CONTRA. THATS STUPID. WERE EUROPEAN SO WE f*ck EVERYTHING UP.  DID YOU TRY MENACE? ITS LIKE RTYPE ONLY WE f*ckED IT UP CAUSE WERE EUROPE.

Robotmans shouldnt have to use strategy.  They should just f*ck everything up.  If I want strategy, I will play a real strategy game.   The game has all of the elements of a sweet action game, with none of the action.

It'd help if the enemies werent retarded little doodlepods and stupid crap.  You're basically fighting pop cans, foreman grills, and things that resemble little kid toys.
There are more sinister looking monsters in super mario world ffs.


Heres some irony for you.  Turrican blows. So does RType on the C64 (no sfx, wtf!).  The same man is responsible for both.


GO FIGURE.

Maybe this will help explain things.  :-"

Why do I feel like stabbing some nintendogs?
Seriously though that was a stupidly biased video which while semi informative also was incredibly slanted.

First of all who in the quad core age still thinks "bits" mean anything. Second look at the f*cking game. PCE games either wow in visual or audio 90% of the time Plus cover art? no contest.

My first console was an odessey 1 TV tennis, My second a 2600. I've been around. I love a lot of Nintendo and Segas's legacy. and several of each's systems, but The PC engine is very special, IMO.

A "show" named FAMICOM Dojo...slanted/biased??...couldn't see that coming   You need to watch more of their stuff if you want to see the (obvious) bias that's pretty regular.

No that's bullshit, they seem to cover Sega "fairly" fairly. Or Maybe I just find the sega stereotype more true :p Anyway yeah I am a bit of a sucker letting it piss me off.
