@Swerd_Murd i know what you mean, back in the day i knew no one with a TG16/ never saw any commercials for it or nothing. Totally one of the most gnarlz libraries a console has/will ever see! long live the tg16!
"Adamant gushes about the original version of Final Fantasy 1 in a way that sounds epically insane" its like hearing stravinsky talk about music or copernicus talk about space. the dude is a old school gaming wizard.
so sick! so so sick! the power ups are rad, i even use the green one and i usually hate green power ups in shooters. This is my new one quarter game after i flipped Raiden Fighter Jets, so i spend hours training on this bad boy. Great music, i just wish it was louder!
i am a big fan of heavy metal. this game is metal. idk what to say bout this game, i love it so much. It like being asked what it is about pizza that you like. the only answer is "EVERYTHING"
The game is a must own for the soundtrack, i downloaded it (the soundtrack) and i play it LOUD when i'm driving around my town to freak the hipsters out. As for game play it is a little blocky and i find that the sprites are a little to big for my liking. The originality of this game is impressive enough to offer mad replay value; the power ups offer so much fun you will want to keep playing to see what crazy weapon you will get next. If your a fan of shooters cop this game for sure! like Cho Aniki, the gameplay may be a lil on the sluggish side, but the aesthetic this game offers is way to bamph and original to pass up!
If your into old arcade shooters like Xevious or whatever, this game is a must own. I personally think this game is great, i find my self going back to it over some of the more epic of shooters in my collection. It has power ups that are pretty rad for 1984, every time i got the one that makes your guns stronger and changes up the music i couldn't help but feel the energy. the graphics and soundtrack are great, the game posses the charm that is essential to making those mid-80s arcade games still playable to this day. If your are a shooter fan whos not into old stuff like Galaga stear clear, but like i said, this is a must own for the arcade aficionado.
