Chit-Chat / Re: Your first CRPG?
« Last post by _joshuaTurbo on April 21, 2025, 04:07:18 PM »My first ever was Bard's Tale on NES. I thought it was super cool, and I loved the party system. I had a hard time getting into games where you started by yourself, or never had people join your party.

TG-16/TE/TurboDuo Discussion / Re: Game of the Month: April 2025 - Dynastic Hero
« Last post by majors on April 20, 2025, 11:34:35 PM »I never gave Dynastic much thought...I never figured out the whole Wonder Boy canon and this games' place in it. I have enjoyed Dragons Trap on SMS and also Monster World 4 on Genny, so this one is right up my alley. It has a breezy playstyle but a few challenges/aggravations along the way. I look forward to more play time with it. Another good pick!

Chit-Chat / Your first CRPG?
« Last post by Naniyue on April 13, 2025, 01:36:43 AM » Unless you count a couple of brief classroom excursions with Adventure to Atlantis on the Apple IIe (monochrome) back in 1986, my first CRPG was Wizardry on the NES. It was on sale, and I could just barely afford it. Swords and Serpents was also available, but something told me to get Wizardry. I did play Swords and Serpents later, and actually liked it, but I am glad I cut my CRPG teeth on a colorful and sonorous version of Wizardry.
Maybe this is partially why I tend to shy away from most JRPGs, as I feel the first person perspective is more immersive. This led me to my second CRPG, the NES version of Might & Magic, which soon became my favorite classic series.
What was your baptismal CRPG?

I was just at the Sphinx too this morning. And yes I answered the questions wrong as well lol. It took me 5 tries.

« Last post by Paranoia Dragon on April 11, 2025, 04:45:58 AM »I'm surprised that you saw it at a Babbages! I'm positive this is one of the games that I had to special order at the little game shop across the street from my high school. And that's considering that relatively speaking things were good in my area for Turbo stuff!
Love this game & its soundtrack! I do feel like it's kind of a quick port outside of the music and a cinemas. Maybe I'm erong, but I feel like most or all of the parallax could have been done with no problem, especially with it being this late of a release. It's not overloaded with tons of sprites on screen or anything so it's a shame that they didn't pull a few tricks. Also wish I had the wavy effect on the hearths.
Also would have been nice if they would have done more with the colors, leaning into the TG's strengths. Maybe a few more cinemas dispersed throughout would have been cool.

« Last post by Necromancer on April 11, 2025, 12:04:52 AM »1) Sorry, I don't know pricing any more
2) I'm not a PVM user, but I think I'd go for krizz's RGB mod thing that plugs into the expansion port (see #3)
3) If I were getting a TG-16 or PCE (non-CD system), I'd have to snag an everdrive pro to play roms and isos, and using #2 for the stereo CD out. You'll also need a tap and extra controller(s) if you have friend(s) that'll game with you. Finally, I love my bluetoof adapter thing and 3bitdo wireless pad.
4) What PD said. Also, if you're playing off the everdrive pro, I think that'll handle whatever syscard needs or hucard region issues.
