You know what a lot of the games Minty have talked about already I was also interested and just gonna echo some stuff they already said. The night skyline in stage 1 of this is some of the best in video games and it is geographicly accurate to Tokyo! That’s incredible. Also stage 3 where you see a sunrise over the Chinese Countryside, wow. Not sure how often I’ve seen an in level sunrise.
That also said I was shocked how much I loved Detana Twinbee. One of the best for the platform there, if you can get past the bell system. Wow I hate that. Great game though. Konami really makes the console sing. Just on a Hucard and it’s like I am playing a cartoon.
You know another cartoon? Ranma 1/2, the first from from like 1990. It sucks compared to the adventure game. I should go back to that. I kind of love how shit this is. Just things flying in at all angles as your health drains and you try to survive. That’s A PC Engine Action Game. Not Bonk. Bonk is nothing. It has to hurt to be PC Engine.
Similarly Browning which really raises my feelings on Geno…you know what let’s not finish that sentence. The G Letter Mech Game. I do apperciate how barebones Browning is. Here’s a cool mech cutscene for 3 seconds, okay game. Another two seconds, More Game. Nice stuff.
I went back to Oboochama-kun and the great thing about PC Engine Platformers is even if they are bad and stupid they make you want to see every stage because there is probably something neat in every stage. They made unique enemies for every stage that is nuts. It is a down-right weird game.
