+GoldenWheels Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Some good PC Engine games there--I watched the vid and maybe I missed it but maybe worth mentioning you'd need a converter to play those on a Turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I wish I would have mentioned this now... cuz that could trip up people. Thanks for reminding me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 No Galaga '90? How does one amass a collection of good titles without being a millionaire? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Yo' MJ, I really like how you're adding some text to your threads lately! Nice to see a quick textual synopsis for those of us that surf at work or on our phones. As always, a fun, educational and entertaining vid. Agree too that Galaga '88/'90 definitely deserves to be on a "best of" list! Besides the ones mentioned, a few of my favs include Truxton, the Darius series and Aero Blasters. Some others like Dead Moon are cool for what they are too. Certainly enough shooters on this system to satisfy any fan of the genre! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldenWheels Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Yeah, I wish I would have mentioned this now... cuz that could trip up people. Thanks for reminding me You picked some GREAT PC Engine games too, they're the ones I'd recommend too, for sure. Those Parodius games are just.....fun. Agree very much with your comments on Blazing Lasers. Nice to have an approachable shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing Lazers Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Perhaps unsurprisingly, I think highly of Blazing Lazers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Jesus Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Yo' MJ, I really like how you're adding some text to your threads lately! At first I couldn't understand why you want to spoil the surprise...but you are right... people see these posts out and about and need to know what the video content includes.

Eltigro Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Great vid MJ, actually saw it on Reddit, first! Lots of great shooters on the TG, including great versions of R-Type, Raiden, and Galaga. A favorite on the system is Psychosis, though. A game not many know about and I never hear talked about. Thanks for having it in the video!

Zap! Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Nice video. Blazing Lazers was my favorite shooter ever. You have to watch Gunhed, you'll love it. Amazon has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
