I don't come through here a whole lot these days (d'oh...)
I trade off between here and a PSX site and upping DW7 is a royal pain in the ass
Cosmic FANTASY 2 is in english, and it is NOT the greatest game, it's a lot like a decent NES/SNES rpg with some groovy cutscenes and good ideas thrown in (and a shower scene! yay!)
great end theme, at least I thougt it was...
also a debug mode to see all the scenes and such, which was pretty cool since I had just got the game when I found that out
btw, your disc with gate of thunder, it has BOMBERMAN on it, too
you have to use a code to access it, but it's still BOMBERMAN!
of the turbo games I have (have played...)
I think Y's book1&2 which came with my turboduo (along with that multigame disc) is a good game with some very good music
Dungeon Explorer 2 is known as the game with my FAVORITE soundtrack, and while it's not the BEST of the BEST videogame music in particular, it is the BEST full soundtrack (again, for my tastes)
it's Gauntlet with RPG elements and hidden characters, with a subquest for each main character as well as the hidden ones and an 'upgrade' for each character, too
a good story
and up to five players (poor me with only one tap and one extra controller and no friends that liked that game...)
still a great single player game and since you get RPG style level up (after boss fights) you can actually beat it by yourself, too!
Dungeon Explorer was one of my first Turbografix16 games when I had that version of the system and I loved it, less secret stuff, but THE BEST ALTERNATE ENDING EVER
if you enter the 'invincible' code the bushes in front of the first castle will warp you to bosses and other strange areas, and once the king leaves later in the game, you can move onto the throne with that code and see the that great alternate ending (don't cheat yourself! get the rom and do it w/o reading any spoiler faqs!)
also good music, blah blah blah, bard is cool because he can change the bg tunes!
Keith Courage in Alpha Zones came with my first turbo, it is a decent game, but I was young and less jaded then...
legendary axe 1 and 2...there was something about those games that I can't remember...I think I liked one and not the other....or hated both but since I paid for them....hmmm
Military Madness is the damn near the clone mother of Advance Wars for the GBA
no CO powers, a 'meaner' story
unfair CPU enemies, and even more unfair is the two player mode, the second player gets to be the CPU units! (no way for first player to win basically...)
NeoNectaris or MM2 I think was released in CD form for the Turboduo, but I never got it
lots of compressed speech from what I remember reading, so there's bound to be something cool to it
any form of Parodius is worthy
so if there's one for the Turbo...
because I'm a pervert, I imported Dragon Knight 2, and while it SUCKS as a game, there are some nice anime chicks in it
I say it sucks because I didn't read squat for japanese back then and I still beat the game (maybe it was the incentive....)
it's a crappy game, I'm sure you can just find the images on the internet anyway, not that any of them are amazing in the first place
famous japanese voice actors on the tracks, though...(the guy that does mendou on UY, that chick that does the chick ranma voice...)
Dragon Slayer was okay for RPGs of the day, I can't play it on ME even cracked, it locks up at the first in game text part (I would try YAME, but YAME pissed me off once, so I'm not in any hurry...) some good ideas in the game, that's for sure
decent story
great 'credit' theme and would've been better if the beginning wasn't fucked up because that moron Giles says some stupid shit and then that moron Logan says more stupid shit and totally rapes the song... (recent ripping beef)
"MANKIND HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE POISON...."
that part still sounds cool
my Turbo collection was piss poor
nobody carried it and it died faster than even the Saturn
I was shocked that they even bothered to bring out the turboduo (even though I got one...heh)
btw
if you find a good rip of DE2, hook me up with a link
my version STILL has the DrPepper syrup on it and I'm too much of a wuss to try to clean it until I know I got a backup burned
too bad all those years of pot smoking sit between now and then, there were a bunch of games I wanted to try out, but never had the money to buy...
now I can't think of any of them!
maybe Valis?
probably a lot of import cartoon/comic shit like record of lodoss war and ranma and such
far east of eden
which I've tried to d/l several times from several places and have been FUCKED every time
RPG, probably difficult to understand if ya can't read the language...not a big obstacle, though.
