You beat Browning?! I will NEVER challenge you to a game! I will lose my @$$!!!!!
Yeah, the first Bonk is good, and I do recommend the soundtrack. I will try to beat it again legitimately in the near enough future.

NPC - Bazaru, Part 3 -
8-5, and taking a break!
8-10!!
Yatta! Got through all the stages and bought all of the expensive stuff! I didn't get every moneybag, but damn close!
The game is worth a play through, though admittedly I took a brute force approach to figuring the levels out.

NPM (Naniyue's Platform MADNESS) - Ninja Spirit
Remember being young, and playing a game a lot because it's what you had? That's Ninja Spirit for me! As I've said before, Dungeon Explorer should have been the pack-in Turbochip with my Duo, but nowadays I guess it doesn't matter. Anyway, I actually beat this one TWICE back in the day, but only in PC Engine mode. There's NO WAY I could have done it with just one hitpoint!
The graphics are fairly faithful to the arcade. The music is not exactly the same, but is still good. I think I was able to win because those floaty jumps actually worked in my favor, and I got lucky with the final ninja gauntlet.

NFT (Naniyue's Fightin' Tales) - Black Hole Assault
The cinematics are nice enough, and in English for some reason. The acting itself is okay. Not perfect, but much better than Last Alert or Final Zone II. The game graphics could have used more animation frames. As for the gameplay . . .
This IS kusoge, but still playable, at least in story mode. My limited experience in the other modes wasn't as good. I mostly got close and stayed close, or got the enemy into a pattern, and stuck with (jump) kicks. There are special moves, but good luck with those! And don't bother trying to throw, as only the enemy is good at that. The differences between the player robot choices aren't much, but some enemies seem easier depending on which you pick.
So, yeah, I'll play it again, but with no real frequency.
!!!! CONTEST QUESTION 5 !!!!
In the third in-game cinematic of Black Hole Assault, Captain Grey stands to the left of a screen that has something in roman letters in the bottom right corner. What does it mean?

NSF (Naniyue's Shooter Failures!) - L-Dis
A cute'em up that's tough as nails! I'm lucky if I legitimately pass the first stage! But the graphics and overall silliness are still worth a look.
NPC - Tricky Kick!
I remember winning at least two scenarios many years ago, but again, I got tired of playing. Well, since I made it through the last puzzle game, why not another! I will take my time with this one, though, so expect more focus on other games.
NAG (Naniyue's Adventure Games) - Yuna 2
Taking a little break with something that's more an experience rather than a game.
Damn! That intro was HARSH!
Yuna is her usual goofy self!
So far, more a typical non-interactive adventure title than something of substance. At least every line is voiced so far, though!
Oh no! It's the Erika 7! The most ruthless team ever!!!
Tiny interactive segments so far.
MY GOD! STOP IT WITH THE HIGH-PITCHED VOICES!!!
Yeah, they were there in the first game, but here, they're even WORSE!!!
Thank God for some normal voices! I'll even take the slow talker from the first game!
So, basically, a game-long date, with minor interactive moments and silly, card based fights that tend to take too long.
Shows what the Turbo can put forth in terms of graphics and sound, but the original is definitely the better game!
NPC - Tricky Kick! Part II
"Doctor! My brain hurts!"
Completed nine of the first scenario, and three of the second. It's driving me crazy, so yeah, I'm going to work on this one here and there.

I uh... don't speak Japanese. But a lot of game translators in the 90s didn't speak English. Maybe it's more authentic that way.
