Title: Angry Video Game Nerd: TurboGrafx Reviews?
Post by: ceti alpha on October 25, 2007, 12:11:50 PM
I find the AVGN hilarious, but I just wish he'd review some TurboGrafx games as he is no longer just the Angry Nintendo Nerd. I was just wondering if that was to happen which games do people think he would end up reviewing? :-k
I could totally see him review some of the early CD games like Sherlock Holmes (I just watched an old GamePro TV show that gave that game best graphics of the year or something like that), It Came from the Desert, etc... He hates the Sega CD so I could totally see him hating those games. hehe

AVGN only reviews games that he thinks are shit god awful.
And of course we know that in the world of Turbo there is just no such thing.
So there probably will never be an AVGN Turbo Grafx review.

Ehh I'm sure eventually he will make his rounds to Deep Blue,Tail Spin,TV Sports Basket Ball, and Balastix. Maybe a year or 2,but you can count on it prob that he will.
Man I never even owned Deep Blue before until now,that game really does suck..... Its like a chinese knock off of Darius with instant hits everywhere.

Has he stopped making videos? I haven't seen a new one from him in a looooong time.
Nope he continues to make them for GT. http://www.gametrailers.com/screwattack.php His next one will be halloween for the 2600. Unless you thought he gave up by now :roll:

I am not a fan of their stuff or anything,and I completely disagree with a few of Angry Videogame Nerd reviews,but some of them are f*ckin great,esp when he reviews a LJN title or like that Texas Chainsaw one.The Texas Chainsaw one was a great parody of Texas Chainsaw 2. Id rather watch any of the screw attack videos these days then pick up any normal gaming mag.

Yeah, I think sometimes he's just being satirical. Some of his complaints like, "He dies when he falls in the water!!!" What's that shit?!!", can't be that serious. Pretty much every game you die if you fall in the water. At least in 8-bit or 16 bit games. Ghosts and Goblins anyone? From some of his reviews I could imagine him giving a shitty review for GnG. :lol: But man that game IS frustrating. I've been known to act like the AVGN when playing that game. ](*,)

Agreed. He uses a bit o' artistic license and blows flaws out of proportion, but that's why it's funny. If I only wanted the straight up facts, I'd just play the damn game for myself.

Meh i like him, he mainly does NES stuff and i was never NEs so it doesnt bother me though the Mega CD and 32X reviews killed me inside, I've seen his TG-16 in a few vids too, then again i've seen nearly every main house console released for the poast 25+ years too, maybe he'll just get around to it eventually, same with screwattack the only TG-16 vid 'Review' they have is Bonks Adventure......tut tut

No, we don't need AVGN to trash our beloved Turbo. He already trashed the Sega CD, which was an awesome system, and we don't need him trashing another great system.

It was? :P
As for the TG, I wouldn't mind him trashing some crappy games. It's all for fun anyways. Besides he loves Nintendo to this day. The only system he trashes is really the Sega CD and the 32X, oh and the Jaguar, oh and the... hehe.
But the 32X was pretty lame. And the Sega CD really didn't expand beyond the full motion video phase. NEC definitely knew the CD format a lot better.
As for appearance, the Sega CD I actually looked pretty cool, but the Sega CD II was horrible. The Sega CD II must have been cheaper eh?
How rare are the Sega CD I peripherals? I knew a couple people with Sega CD II, but I've never seen I in person.
Title: Re: Angry Video Game Nerd: TurboGrafx Reviews?
Post by: Turbo D on October 29, 2007, 02:42:42 PM
Its not too rare. Its cheaper that the second one. I got a boxed one on ebay last year for like $40 plus shipping. I thought it was a pretty good deal since it was boxed 8)

Sega CD I looks nice if hooked up to a Genesis 1, but a Genesis 2 looks much better with a Sega CD II, and the CDX looks sexier than both of 'em put together. The second model was indeed simplified to lower costs and increase reliability. Nowadays, the first one is prone to failure and therefor, less desirable (cheaper).

The second Sega CD model was ALOT better than the first one. It had a pop open lid, and you didn't need to turn it on to change the friggin' game (Plus you don't have to worry about the drive door constantly opening up again right after you close it!), better start up music, better everything. And there alot of good games on the system:
Sol Feace Cobra Command Jaguar XJ220 Time Gal Road Avenger Batman Returns Final Fight CD Prince of Persia (And the best damn version you can find at that!) Wolfchild Lethal Enforcers Lethal Enforcers II Rise of the Dragon The Terminator Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin Starblade NBA Jam AH3 Thunderstrike Cadillacs & Dinosaurs Rebel Assault Revenge of the Ninja Snatcher Fatal Fury Special The Space Adventure Lords of Thunder

Ah, so there was a problem with the drive door on the Sega CD I? I don't doubt that there are several reasons to like the Sega CD II, with the most important reason being that there are less mechanical things that can go wrong with it. Sorta like when I bought my used car I made sure it didn't have power windows. Those motors eventually go and they're not cheap to replace.
Aesthetically speaking though, I prefer the Sega CD I. But if I had the choice between a nice looking piece of junk and a not as nice looking system that works...well, the choice is obvious.

Post by: Joe Redifer on October 30, 2007, 01:06:47 PM
The only way the Sega CD 1 drive would pop back open again is due to user error. I do not like the GUI of the SEGA CD 2. It's hard just to go in and see your Back Up RAM cartridge saves and you seem to have to wait forever to do it. In fact I think you may even need a CD in the drive. So suffice it to say that the Sega CD 1 BIOS is waaaay better than the Sega CD 2's, with the exception of the crappy music.
Robo Aleste is pretty cool, I forgot about that one even though I own it. Batman Returns is awesome if you turn off the platform levels, and don't forget about Soul Star. It's not a spectacular game, but it is great eye candy. Thunder Strike looks kind of bad, but it is really fun. Lords of Thunder isn't quite "great" due to the sound effect issues and lack of difficulty that version has.

And if you think any of those games I listed are crap, you need your head examined. And you're not gonna talk shit about Lethal Enforcers or Rise of the Dragon and live to tell about it.

"The Terminator" is one of the best licensed games of all time. Batman Returns is awesome, and you probably only played it for 5 minutes and gave up, and didn't give it a chance. Rise of the Dragon is on the same level as Snatcher. Robo Aleste is one of the most overrated pieces of shit I ever played in my entire life. I heard so much about that game and was excited when I finally got it in the mail, and when I played it, it sucked so f*cking badly. Get off of the AVGN's nut sack, for pete's sake. NBA Jam is crap too? How old are you? 10? Wolfchild crap? Who are you? That moron kolibiri, aka Howard Cneal? AH3 Thunderstrike is one of the few flight sims that people who aren't into flight sims can enjoy no problem. Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is awesome too.

I haven't had any problems with the drive door on my segacd model 1. I have the one with the motorized tray. I have read that there is a segacd model 1 with a non motorized tray that is more desirable because you don't have to worry about the motor going out. I like the motorized tray though; it makes it seem like my genesis is a computer, haha.

Post by: Joe Redifer on October 30, 2007, 03:01:40 PM
There is no Sega CD 1 without a motorized tray. The motor on the tray will probably be the last thing that goes out unless you have a habit of pushing the tray closed instead of closing it via the BIOS. The spindle motor should wear out long before that.

You've been lucky. Old cd players ARE extremely unreliable. Much, much moreso than modern players. That is a fact. They love to stop working. They even disassemble themselves sometimes. If you've actually used a modern CD player, you've been using some chinese no-brand crap. Or you just made up the fact that they are more reliable than "modern" players.
Prince of Persia (And the best damn version you can find at that!) - it's POP... crap
You're a hero for saying that. It's Prince of Persia. So true... Such a HORRIBLE game! For ANY format. Especially Mega-CD.

No...I didn't just make that up. Though the CD players I'm talking about are Sony and AIWA. I now have a 5 disc Sony CD changer and that thing is just a nightmare. But I think that has more to do with the fact it's a 5 disc changer than anything.
I'm totally serious about what I said. Those old CD players, especially that AIWA, are tough little buggers. I been through moves upon moves with them, taking them to parties back in high school to DJ with. They've had drinks poured on them, dropped and banged. Maybe I was overstating it when I said that ALL new CD players are pieces of shit, but when our manufacturing jobs are being exported to places with cheap labour, such things are bound to happen. I think I'm just bitter about my 5 disc changer. That thing is just waiting to go on me. ](*,)
But these suckers will play any CD, whether burned, scratched or whatever. But I will say that my 5 disc Sony is extremely good in terms of vibration. But it's also a DVD player so I think that has something to do with that as well.
But what is worse are CDs. They are flimsy pieces of crap now that scratch if you so much as breathe on them. If you hold a 1st gen CD and a 2nd gen CD in each hand you can tell that the 1st gen CD is more durable. When CDs first came out one of the biggest things going for them was their durability. There is actually a noticeable difference is weight.

Jesus f*cking Christ, hold old are you!? Do me a favor and keep your comments of violence to yourself. Okay, on to the response..
Damn, you're one serious SegaCD fan boy. I'm 31 btw(since you asked) and I was around when those crap titles came out. That's right, I've had the same opinion of those crap games before way before AVGN. Your the type of gamer we used to laugh at, at the game stores. Glad you bought all the crap, someone had too. I could never stand the US/EU crap that starting coming out for Sega (and somewhat less for Nintendo too) in '92-95.
Btw, why post videos of that dork? After watching those videos, I have seen the error of my ways - please forgive me... That guy is a complete f-ing moron/nerd/geek (not to mention his voice is annoying too).

Fatal Fury Special, average. You've got to be out of your f*cking mind to think that.
Yup, it's an average port. You don't think it could have been a better port(The PCECD version is)? You're easily pacified.

And Time Gal is one of the best FMV games I ever played. Even better than Dragon's Lair.
I played it before the SegaCD came out (MegaCD from a friend). And not, Road Avenger is better. But in general, FMV *games* suck anyway. They're better to watch than to play after beating it the first time around.

"The Terminator" is one of the best licensed games of all time.

Batman Returns is awesome, and you probably only played it for 5 minutes and gave up, and didn't give it a chance.
You're smoking crack. That game blows. Yeah, the driving parts are cool, but platform part totally sucks and the graphics are seriously nasty. The original Batman Sega cart was waaay better than that crap and had better graphics(much better).

Rise of the Dragon is on the same level as Snatcher.
Yeah? You're f*cking nuts. Rise of the Dragon was a crappy PC game (which I had and was better than the SegaCD version btw) in comparison.

You're not a real gamer....seriously. That game is complete fun and has a kick ass sound track (unless you don't shooters). You love the SegaCD but call this game a piece of shit? Wow....

NBA Jam is crap too? How old are you? 10?
Yes. And as I already stated, 31.

Wolfchild crap? Who are you? That moron kolibiri, aka Howard Cneal?
Wolfchild is just another crap title in the later generation of the Genesis. And it reeks of EU style/design. It sucks.

AH3 Thunderstrike is one of the few flight sims that people who aren't into flight sims can enjoy no problem.
That doesn't mean it isn't crap. It's the type of game that belongs on the PC. I'm not into flight sims or this game.
Quote
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is awesome too.
If you say so....
Quote
Rebel Assault is one of the BEST Star Wars games EVER made.
Now I know you're a f-ing liar. The SegaCD port was a watered down port of the PC version (which I owned as well). The game sucks on PC and it sucks on any other format too. What's up with your full motion video fetish? These FMV games for the most part, are completely f*cking soulless. God damn..
Quote
Jaguar XJ220 is one of the best racing games of all time.
Are you stuck in SegaCD ages or something? Maybe you haven't played newer generation racing games (like this generation for example).
Seriously, unless you were like 10 when you had those games, I can't see any excuse why you even like those games (you know, the ones that suck). But if you weren't, then you have some serious poor taste in games based on your list.
Next you're going to tell me Popful Mail sucks (which is doesn't).

The majority of those titles are infact really good. The only one I was not hot on was Fatal Fury Special or the Samurai Showdown port,that was not a good port really. Rebel Assault was horrible to me too. I liked those,along with Android Assault,Robo Aleste,Batman and Robin,Silpheed,Lunar Silver Star and Eternal Blue,Vay,Shining Force Cd,Dungeon Explorer,Eternal Champions,Mortal Kombat,Kei Flying Squadron,Popful Mail and a few others. I had these titles on Sega Cd,and had more then just a Genesis/Sega Cd combo,had plenty of others systems and games to play,so I wasn't a Sega fanboy.
These games honestly were nice for the system,and had alot of fun to be had. Even Spider Man,other then its god awful soundtrack.....

About the old-vs-new CD player fight:
Back in the day, CD players used to be much more of a luxury item, and therefore the players were higher quality.
As time went on, CD players became commoditized and cheaper; to fill the demand, CD players got cheaper too. Compare the PS and Saturn CD players: the cheaper Sony system tends to have problems with its player (Anyone remember people tilting their Playstations?) but I've never seen a Saturn with the same problem. It was more expensive, and of higher quality.
So, the only reason old CD players seem to last longer is because they were better equipment to begin with, and the ones that failed ended up in dumpsters.

Super werd re: hardware, guyjin.
The Sega-CD had some superb games, but the shit to shine quotient was way too high. Some of the best games were still a waste of the hardware, as they weren't much better than what could've been done (or already had been done) on cartridge.
P.S. - Sheesh! Can't we all just get along? Or at least act civilized? Grow the hell up, or I'll kick all y'all asses over by the swing set after school. :lol:

Prince of Persia (And the best damn version you can find at that!) - it's POP... crap
You're a hero for saying that. It's Prince of Persia. So true... Such a HORRIBLE game! For ANY format. Especially Mega-CD.
Okay, FM-77, I've dealt with your weird gaming tastes before, but this takes the cake. This time you have gone too far!
I LOVE Prince of Persia! I bet the only reason you don't like it is probably because you played for five minutes and left throwing a fit because you couldn't get used to the controls, right? Yes, I admit that the controls could have been better thought up, but once you get used to them, they work fine. The game is a classic. I loved the feeling of having to explore the palace while trying to quickly and effectively get through the levels. But I will admit it, yeah, the voice acting in the Sega CD version was the worst acting I've ever seen, worse than the infamous Resident Evil intro. The villain's name is Jaffa now? WTF!?
And before you start getting defensive, let me remind you, that you panned the Metal Gear series based on one reason: you couldn't figure out the controls. When I first played MGS3 on my PS2, I was fine with the controls. I was blown away by the sense of realism in a fantasy world at times. I still have fond memories of playing it for the first time.
Now, I'm not saying that anyone here sucks, or that they're stupid, but please, PLEASE don't act like you're the ultimate authority on why a game sucks. I can understand not liking a game, and explaining why you don't like it, but don't state that a game sucks, as if it's a fact. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's a horrible game. Everyone has games that many people like that they absolutely hate, and everyone has games that are mostly panned that are guilty pleasures for them.
I actually once met a guy who said that Snatcher sucks. Doesn't mean it does.
If you have read all this and learned something, I salute you. If you just saw that this post was long and skipped it so you wouldn't have to deal with my ranting, you can go to hell for all I care.

Seriously,the Sega Cd was awesome,even with all the garbage on it its quality title selection more then matches the US Turbo Cd and Duo selection. There was alot of fun to be had with it. ONLY fanboys would hate it. What the Sega Cd coulda used was more of the Jap Mega Cd titles,but as it stands there was more then enough to keep anyone happy with it,for it being a add on system.
Its just like people trashing the 32X. The 32X even with the limited titles released on it had some real keepers,and back when it was released,it was THE way to have Star Wars Arcade,no other system got it. Also its port of VR racing was awesome,along with VF,After Burner,Space Harrier,MK 2,NBA Jam TE,WWF Arcade Game,Primal Rage,Shadow Squadron,and Blackthorne. There are others,but those titles there were enough for me to warrant the purchase of it as a add on. I mean shit,people paid almost $110 just for the Genesis VR Racing release,spending $50 more to have access to better cart ports of some of that stuff was def worth it.
I still to this day feel the 32X was a good stop gap at getting people used to the Idea of 3d gaming,without totally busting their wallets.Even with the limited titles,it helped breath a little life into the system. Alot of people got the 32X to be able to play stuff like VR racing and Doom,and these people also couldn't afford a Saturn or PS1 sometimes and the only other option was a Jaguar price wise. As much as I like the Jag,any day of the week I would rather have a Genesis and 32X combo..

I agree with pretty much everything Michael said. Even if by anyone's judgement the Sega-CD's overall line up of decent games doesn't match the Turbo CD, at the very least its not far off. The 32X actually got a ton of games, even though few were very special, most were actually decent.
To me it doesn't matter if another competing console has more to offer, all I care about is entertaining games and if a cheap system has at least one I'll buy it.

He actually said he thinks I am one of the best,not THE best on here.And I think all he means by that I think is that I can recognize a good game,and don't bash it just because of it being on a certain format. I am pretty sure he is well aware I am one of the worst bastards here at times when I want to be,but that is not something that is usually related to my actual gaming habits,or what games I think are good or awful.
I think its a nice form of mutual respect being shared there gamer wise when he made that comment about me,and this is a form of respect which you are certainly lacking at the moment. While I don't think your acting like a full blown snerd Bonknuts,nor do I think your a a$$hole or anything, but I do think your acting like a ass about this subject,or in the very least trowing your selves to the wolves here because the vast majority here def doesn't agree with your flawed/biased opinions on the Sega Cd here.
I also don't want to be pulled into your bullshit by having you trow my name into the mix as a tool to use in your losing argument. He made that comment about me,it has nothing to do with you or your current plight on here.

People are allowed to state their opinions as he did about his love for those SegaCD games, and since this is a public forum and not the Soviet Union, and I can post my opinions as well. He was shocked that the SegaCD wasn't getting any love, posted games in his opinion weren't crap as valid proof. I posted a response with my opinion of those games - I didn't personally attack/insult him liked he did on his next post and I'm the a$$hole? Mike, if he had posted his "ok a$$hole..." thread at you, you'd be all over the place... I know your history of temper on these forums.
I admit though Mike, you've been really cool lately (which is great) .. hehe well minus that post were you jump the gun in Kit (but I could already tell you didn't like him). I'm not dragging your name into this, I'm just laughing at his ignorance of this boards history by his statement - nothing more.

Bonknuts,I can see your point and his both. Yea I am not sure about Guts,but if I look at it from MRMs view I mean,to me he listed a pretty good list of titles,about anyone here would agree with it,so maybe in his eyes he felt like you were trying to insult him personally when you said about every one of them he liked sucked. It almost looked compulsory from you,like you wanted to rub it in his face or something.
Thats how I looked at it too,but I also understand the eurotrash jibe you attached to some of them. You oddly enough can tell whenever a game is made on that side of the world,good or bad. At any rate I am still dumbfounded that you felt so many on the list were bad games,regardless of what current internet personality says about them,but you have your taste,and thats just how it is.

I find myself agreeing with about 75% of Bonknuts's opinions of the games MotoRoaderMike's list. Bonknuts didn't say they were all crap - he only rated half of them as crap and the rest as average or good. Just for the hell of it, below is the ranking of the games from Sega-16 next to Bonknuts's much maligned assessment. Notice how many of 'em agree with Bonknuts. Does that mean that they too are 'a$$holes' and deserve a punch in the mouth?
3 Sol Feace - decent 3 Cobra Command - average at best, limited replay X Jaguar XJ220 - crap 5 Time Gal - same as Cobra Command 9 Road Avenger - The best/most enjoyable FMV on the SegaCD - classic X Batman Returns - crap 9 Final Fight CD - great X Prince of Persia (And the best damn version you can find at that!) - it's POP... crap X Wolfchild - crap 8 Lethal Enforcers - crap X Lethal Enforcers II -crap 8 Rise of the Dragon - crap(especially) 7 The Terminator - more crap 9 Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin - decent at *best* 3 Starblade - almost crap 7 NBA Jam - total crap 8 AH3 Thunderstrike - more crap X Cadillacs & Dinosaurs - crap/crap 4 Rebel Assault - funless crap 4 Revenge of the Ninja - decent at best 9 Snatcher - great 4 Fatal Fury Special - average X The Space Adventure - decent 7 Lords of Thunder - great
The Sega-CD certainly had quite a few great games, but MotoRoaderMike's list was half full of mediocre titles and skipped over many of the best releases. Where's Brutal, Silpheed, Vay, Adv. o' Willy, Popful Mail, and the Lunar pair?

Notice that even Sega-16 thinks Lethal Enforcers is a great game (and also one of Konami's most important games, and one of the best of all time), along with "Rise of the Dragon". And I agree! They deserve all the praise they get! They're two of the greatest games ever made! LE was awesome back in 1992/93, and it's still awesome today! And the Sega CD version has music by Motoaki Furukawa and Tappy Iwase.

Sega CD I looks nice if hooked up to a Genesis 1, but a Genesis 2 looks much better with a Sega CD II, and the CDX looks sexier than both of 'em put together.
Cool. I didn't even know about that one. heh. You learn something new everyday. I was actually talking to a girl last night at a bar about game systems and she mentioned the CDX, but not by name. She was puzzled by my description of the Sega CD I and II as separate accessories and I was puzzled by her description of the Sega CD as one system. :lol:
But even more interesting than that....how is it I end up talking to a cute girl in a bar that's dressed up as Elliot from ET about old school video game systems. :o lol. Oh and she doesn't have any idea what the TurboGrafx or PC Engine is. heh. But I got her number and I told her I'll bring my Turbo Duo over....if you know what I mean. :dance: hahaha. :-"

Sega-16 has some crazy scores, but it's a Sega Fan so it's fine (Sega-16's a cool site/forum). I was disappointed they gave Dahna a lower score than Greendog, though. My perspective/rating comes from if I had actually spent $50 on the game new or that I just don't like the genre (sports games are like country music - one of few things I hate most in this world).
I'd should revise the rating on Jaguar XJ220 from crap to decent at best. It's not Outrun, but it's kinda cool (still wouldn't have bought it new back then though unless I was jones'n for a SegaCD game). While few of those games might actually be in the "average at best" range, I rated them as "crap" because I don't like the genre/style/design of the game (would you give dating simulation games a high rating if you didn't like or couldn't stand them?). There are quite a few SegaCD games I really like, but I dislike a lot of them. One thing about some of the FMV games (non-anime ones) is that they sucked back then, but are cool in a cheesy sort of way now a days (and are a good laugh too). The anime one's were pretty cool back then, and not nearly fun anymore ( except Road Avenger.. total Riding Bean! ).
I think the reason why the SegaCD got such a bad rap is that Sega was known for pumping out great/awesome titles, but the SegaCD failed in comparision to it's cartridge counter part. Of course loyal Sega fans supported it, main stream gamers did not. Why shell out $299 for the SegaCD when you have better games on the Genesis - was the common opinion. There are some really great games that did come out for it, but it wasn't all at once - instead over a 4 year period. I think some people lossed that perspective over time (or don't even have it since they weren't part of the teenage/adult gaming consumers during it's time - the gamers who experienced the transition from 8 to 16 bit era).

Road Avenger was and still is completely awesome. I also have the Saturn version (Road Blasters) and the Sega CD version is much better. The video might not look as good, but the new sound recorded for the Sega CD version is MUCH better than the original arcade sound (which is what the Saturn version uses). There are loud explosions all around you and everything just has a lot of "oomph" to it whereas the original sound was pretty thin and sparse. And let's not forget that cheesy intro song!
Same goes with Cobra Command... much better new sound featured in the Sega CD version. Unfortunately the Sega CD version is just too damn choppy and undetailed.

And in the Sega CD version of Fatal Fury Special, you can play as Ryo Sakazaki, and not just fight him. And you don't even need to enter a code. He's ready to access from the start.
If the graphics/animation,and sound wasn't busted on that version Id like it,but it had too many issues. Its still better then the Snes one,but not by much.

I picked up the Saturn Time Gal/Revenge of the Ninja double jewel case pak. I didn't know about the Road Avengers one!? Have you seen the original Road Avengers for arcade? I download the emu mpegs for it and it looks great. Someone should make a DVD version of it...

Road Blasters comes with Thunder Storm FX (Cobra Command) as a double jewel case pack.
I saw Road Blasters in the arcade once, or maybe it was running on a LaserActive. A DVD version would be possible with extreme scripting, but you'd need a far better source than MPEGS which by default are 320x240. That is 100% unacceptable for DVD. The original footage would need to be digitized and the drop frames removed. Send me a LaserDisc and I'll do it.
