Title: Algunos
Post by: vestcoat on June 22, 2007, 07:50:39 AM
I bought Algunos on ebay yesterday because it's a 6-button game I don't have and there were some youtube videos posted a while ago that look pretty cool. 
Is it any good?  I've never heard anyone say a damn thing about this game.  I've also seen it sell anywhere from $20 to $120.  What gives?
Any online reviews out there?

Is this a 2-player vs. fighting game? I'm sure I remember some folks talking about this, albeit briefly. Also, I have a nagging suspicion that Emerald Rocker has commented on it (although it might not have been on this forum). I could be wrong. :)

Yes, I'm too lazy to investigate this matter.

I'm really interested in this game because it was made by the same folks who were responsible for Asuka 120%, which is excellent.  Word is that Algunos isn't as good as Asuka, however.

In any event, UNIVERSO PC ENGINE has a review up for it.

Yeah, it's 2 players, & it's ok.  Nothing special from what I recall.

I wasn't really impressed by Algunos... if you liked Asuka 120%, I would then recommend Advance Variable Geo. It is not as good, but it is another fun fighter, and way better than Algunos.

On that note, is Asuka 120% any good?

Asuka 120% is excellent, definitely my favorite PCE fighter.

Advanced V.G. isn't very good.  If it's better than Algunos... well, that doesn't bode well for Algunos.

Considering that Advanced VG is crap, well, I'm not looking forward to getting Algunos anymore.

Oh come on, Advanced V.G. is OK. I just cleared it a month or so for the first time. That boss is kind of hard.
