Title: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: guyjin on February 28, 2008, 01:50:10 PM
The best game from '92. what is it?
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: nat on February 28, 2008, 01:52:42 PM
Hmm, 1992 was a pretty good year. I go with Air Zonk.

Now wait, I thought you said PCE didn't list US CDs...but wasn't Exile a CD? I'm asking because this is the year Gate of Thunder was released, and possibly Cosmic Fantasy 2, which are far more popular than anything else on this list so the poll is pretty useless, IMO. I don't have a very good memory of what was released each year, but I'd surely vote for GoT whatever year that came out.

IMO opinion Neutopia II, New Adventure Island and Soldier Blade are the heavy hitters here- that said-
Soldier Blade.

Definately Soldier Blade.

Post by: runinruder on February 28, 2008, 02:58:00 PM
It came down to NAI and Soldier Blade for me. I chose NAI.

Jackie Chan Action Kung Fu - NO CONTEST.
And btw, shouldn't the 1992 Turbo game thread just link to the 1991 PCE game thread? :P

Soldier Blade, followed by Air Zonk and Neutopia II. Lots o' good stuff that year.
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: _joshuaTurbo on February 28, 2008, 04:46:24 PM
It was down to either Order of the Griffon or Shockman for me.
I voted OotG, cause it just doesn't get the love it deserves from you sons o bitches!

Air Zonk! Amazing memories of playing this game.
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: nat on February 28, 2008, 05:24:33 PM
Me too. I'm surprised it isn't getting more love here.
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: awack on February 28, 2008, 05:34:22 PM
For me it was very close between Soldier Bade and Air Zonk but i went with Soldier Blade.

We need more Jackie Chan Action Kung Fu lovers. :cry:

Post by: Kitsunexus on February 28, 2008, 09:16:44 PM
I made this because Jackie Chan is getting no love, and because I was inspired by an earlier shoutbox convo:

AirZonk!!! My favorite turbo game 8)
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: SignOfZeta on February 28, 2008, 11:41:13 PM
I voted for Air Zonk because with this list being incomplete that was the only contender.
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: spenoza on February 29, 2008, 01:52:29 AM
Making me choose between Air Zonk and Soldier Blade. Shame on you! AZ FTW, I guess.
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: turbofan1 on February 29, 2008, 03:01:10 AM
Air Zonk all the way.Did New Adventure Island come out in 1992?I thought It came out earlier than that.And yeah there should also be cd games on that list.
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: Sinistron on February 29, 2008, 04:23:11 AM
Dang its getting close here! I call foul though. How's Air Zonk not make the top ten hueys list and yet is a hair away from beating out Soldier Blade (which made #5) on the 92 list? :-k Hogwash I tells ya. Hogwash! :P
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: Game and Watch Kirby on February 29, 2008, 05:30:04 PM
Could this get any simplier :P? I had voted for Air Zonk, since it really is a cool shooter and has an amazing soundtrack to go with it. I even consider it as the definite title for the TurboGrafx-16. It's sure to be one of the first games I get to play for the system once I get the chance.
Exile and Soldier Blade are the other good choices from this list. As Sign of Zeta had mentioned briefly, however, some major titles, such as Gate of Thunder, Cosmic Fantasy 2, and even Prince of Persia, are missing from the selection.

Post by: Jared4781 on March 01, 2008, 06:22:47 AM
I vote for Jackie Chan as this was the first game I got for my TG-16. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this game! The music is so groovy and it's just a fun, well put together game. Come on people, Air Zonk doesn't stand a chance against Mr. Chan :)
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: nodtveidt on March 01, 2008, 06:43:14 AM
I voted Exile. Jackie Chan, Air Zonk, Neutopia II, Time Cruise...all very, very close contenders. This was a great year for us. :D
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: Beld VanGuard on March 01, 2008, 08:12:07 AM
I'm the one guy who voted for Shockman.
I spent TONS of time playing Airzonk (got em both the same day when I was little) but Shockman had me glued. Game was very difficult, lots of neat levels, I got into the plot, and it just wouldn't end. It was the best mega man-ish game I had played in forever, and it kinda stuck with me heh
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: nat on March 01, 2008, 10:20:48 AM
Shockman is a fantastic game, especially when taken as part of the series it's in (part 2 is the only version we got over here). I think part 3 might be slightly better, though.
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: Sinistron on March 01, 2008, 06:39:41 PM
Jeesh Nat I just got part III- I hope it's more than just "slightly better".

HELL YES!!!

I voted for Order of the Griffon, the first and last RPG released on Turbochip.
Where the heck is Dead Moon? It probably wouldn't have picked up many votes, but it would have had some impact on the close race between Air Zonk and Soldier Blade.
Where's Ballistix? Also, Night Creatures is '91.

It's very different, that's for sure. You don't dig part 2?
I think they are both fantastic games, but again, very different.
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: Sinistron on March 02, 2008, 10:19:52 AM
Still haven't tried my part III- been playing Ys III and testing out this box of Sega stuff that I got for free all day- But yeah- I pretty much can't stand Shockman- looks great, great music- but I feel it plays pretty awful. I'm hoping Part III is leagues better.

Ghost Manor is a great game, but not the best of '92. It might be one of the best though, it's hard to say.
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: Joe Redifer on March 02, 2008, 11:45:58 AM
Perhaps it is the best game on the Turbo?
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: nat on March 02, 2008, 11:55:31 AM
I wouldn't go that far.
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: Joe Redifer on March 02, 2008, 11:59:57 AM
Would you go so far as to say it is better than any game on the Atari Lynx?
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: nat on March 02, 2008, 12:01:53 PM
Yes.
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: sideshow on March 02, 2008, 12:09:24 PM
Ghost Manor is great game if you turn the music and sound effects off.
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: nat on March 02, 2008, 12:11:41 PM
The sound effects are fine, and the music is what I would call an "acquired taste." I like it, it suits the game well.
Title: Re: 1992 Turbo game of the year
Post by: sideshow on March 02, 2008, 03:25:26 PM
I disagree, the music and sound are abysmal in Ghost Manor. The graphics and gameplay is pretty good though for a turbochip so I guess it balances the game out.

Shockman is a weird game. I have been kind of on the fence about it but nat encouraged me to hang on to it.. I guess it makes sense.. I don't plan on getting an NES any time soon so I'll just play Shockman whenever that style mood strikes. Actually the aztec boss with the crazy legs almost makes the game worth it alone. Can anyone out there play this one without using the famous pause cheat to refill your life? If so , you are a PRO !

I didn't even know there was a cheat. yes, I beat the game, no life code, playing Shockman, not Sonya back in like 1996 or so. Took me about 3 weeks. I love that game

Post by: Black Tiger on March 04, 2008, 02:08:34 PM
Although its not my favorite since I haven't played it very much, I voted for New Adventure Islland since its probably technically the best game.
