Anyways, is Shin Megami Tensei and its numerous ports on your list, or would that be too much of an endeavor? Sorry man, I get hundreds of mails so you'll have to be a bit more specific than "Did I get your mail?". As for the Shin Megami Tensei games, one will appear on Battle of the ports at some point. This week a game many love on Battle of the Ports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The myth possibly born from the supposed dummy cabinet Taito had running this? Just had a PC Engine inside? I'm not a huge fan of this one and the ST Port was over ambitious and suffered for it.

That and a language barrier for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story was at the time, the programmer had suffered a break-in, they'd taken all his drives and backup discs, and work was too far along to start again. In actual fact, him and his wife were mid-separation, and she smashed all his stuff up in a fit of rage while blind drunk. Oops. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Parasol Stars being a really good showing title for the TurboGrafx-16. Definitely a fun game for sure. Take care and keep up the great work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one that should of stayed in the Arcades. Far too shallow in terms of gameplay, far too demanding for the hardware of the time and to think a 7800 version was planned.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my local arcades had a Steel Talons cabinet. You mentioned that when the player was hit, a speaker in the cab would bang loudly. I remember walking in there one time and someone playing got hit. The speaker on the back of the cab pinged so loud I jumped! I knew then I had to play it. I remember renting it on the Genesis after playing the arcade game and it being unplayable to the point that I questioned why they even bothered making it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 What's going on with the 2600 version in your video? It looks corrupted. I can't believe that the there were only two released ports of Turbo. For some reason I assumed that the various computer systems got ports.

Unknown to me, there is actually a great 2600 homebrew around now. New video today. - 7 inch IPS emulation station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a prototype, but the screen shouldn't be flashing like that and the roadside buildings shouldn't be all corrupted.

Definitely a new addition to the franchise would be welcome I would think considering how long it has been dormant. Still, at least we have all that was done on the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
