I couldn't get into Blaster Master 2 because the music was horrible and it felt really weird, definitely not like a true sequel.  The first one was known for having amazing music.  Apparently part 2 was not programmed in Japan, but by inferior people.

Blaster Master on the NES was awesome. BM2 on the Genesis was bullshit wanna be. Maybe it's a fine game by itself (I'll at least give it that), but otherwise I think it sucks much ass. I think it's just some licensed US or EU crap. No original crew/company involved in it. I refuse to play that game... ever.

Its a great game, really.  From what I gathered, the original crew of Blaster Master didn't make a sequel to Blaster Master after finding out about BM2, because BM2 was great stuff.  I remember magazine reviews giving it good marks, and that was how I found out about the game.  The music is basically "of the time" western music.  Weird thumpy trance stuff.  It's still not awful.

saying it sucks because it wasn't done by the Japanese crew is a bit unfair.  Especially since its one of the rare instances where the western world didn't f*ck something up that originated in Japan.   They could have Green Beret'd the hell out of it (See: MSX Green Beret), or basically any other European take on Konami games for the C64/MSX.  It's sad.

The 3rd blaster master on Playstation was awesome too.  The atmosphere was amazing.  It was a really solid jump from 2d to 3d.  


and hey Esteban, I like Ultima IV, and even Ultima II.  II is just busted as f*ck and needs fixed.

Yeah, Sunsoft had a knack for creating gold nuggets with any chip they touched. Sunteam Paul really opened my eyes to their genius with tracks from Batman (MD and NES), Blaster Master (NES), etc.

I know :). Look closely:



You despise Turrican, so it is a THUG who must be shot, immediately. You HEART Ultima IV, so it is a lovely gal (with a purse, no less!). And, well, then there's Ultima II, just as confused and clueless as the elderly gentleman who is looking for his newspaper (but has forgotten it's in his armpit).

Why is it that light gun games got worse after the NES?  The 16-bit systems light gun games sucked, and the TG-16 didn't even get one.  Virtua Cop/House of the Dead games excluded, I never touch a light gun game that's not for the NES.

Yet for the NES, I often play Hogan's Alley, Duck Hunt, Gotcha, and Chiller.

Someone needs to do a Lucky and Wild home port to a system of their choosing; with multi-tap, wheel, and guns support.

Emphasis for importance! I'm glad the PCE/TG16 didn't get one!

No bonk outside the PCE can be the best bonk :idea:

Super Bonk 2 is a decent Bonk game, but it's a bit of a departure from the rest. Super Bonk 1 (Bonk 4) is really awful, though. I personally enjoy Bonk 3 (non-CD version) the best.

Tats, loved the spinning gun when you won in Wild Gunman.  Surprised the cord didn't get caught up around your hand.
