Title: Dungeon Explorer: TurboGrafx vs Sega CD?
Post by: storino03 on June 04, 2012, 07:52:35 PM: I noticed that this game appeared on both platforms (US). What version is better? Or are they different?

Post by: YAGRS on June 05, 2012, 05:10:55 AM: I tried to play the Sega CD version once, but I didn't care for it. We used to play the original Dungeon Explorer a lot, and it's still one of my favorite TG games. I've yet to play Dungeon Explorer II, as I don't have anyone around now who would be interested in playing it, plus my Turbo Tap doesn't seem to be functioning the way it should.

Too late! You're not allowed to like games for rival consoles! [-X

Let me guess, its got grainy 64 color full motion video throughout the game?

That settles it. It IS Dungeon Explorer III.

Post by: ParanoiaDragon on June 06, 2012, 06:35:45 PM: What, & no one mentions Crystal Beans from Dungeo Explorer for the SFC/SNES? I like that one, it's fun, though it's mostly just a heavily shortened version of Dungeon Explorer 2 with a new feature or 2. IIRC, I think the characters have an extra melee attack or something like that.

Linky for those not in the know. :) Scroll down to the bottom for Crystal Beans.

Post by: Joe Redifer on June 06, 2012, 09:50:41 PM: I was able to get pretty far in the Sega CD version but could never quite beat it. The music is nowhere near as good as either Turbo version, sadly.
