it's true, raiden's main failing was you don't get to be a sweet helicopter
would this game have sold better if it were named "raidin' copters" ??

Bonk 2 definitely has a different sound engine. Completely different from 1. Composition style sounds quite a bit different to my ears as well.

I like Kyukyoku Tiger, but I prefer Raiden. It was such a high-class graphical presentation in the arcade. For home versions I'd say they're a lot more similar, but in the arcade Raiden was the distinct winner in my book.

Did you mean Bonk 3?  That's a completely new engine, & I always wished they stuck with the original.  The first 2 use the same sound engine, & Bonk 2 even reuses several songs.  One of the projects I aim to working on is a remix of Bonk 3 CD, to make it sound like a souped up version of the Bonk 1/2 sound engine.....if i ever get any time to do it that is!

3) the mechanic where bombs dropping off you and blowing shit up if you get shot is sweet

I had to reread this several times, until I understood that what you meant wasn't a sweet person, but rather gameplay related.

Thanks for creating this topic.

I love this game (probably my favorite "PC Engine" game). It is difficult but fair and you can't go wrong with the chiptunes version of the soundtrack. It is worth a play through for the music alone!

Are you sure? I mean, I haven't been into the code, but Bonk 2 (Revenge) sounds VERY different from Bonk 1. It sounds like it has a totally different instrument set and composition style. I would argue Bonk 2 and 3 sound more alike than 1 and 2.

[ParanoiaDragon]

It's gotta be.  For instance, I've played the tunes back to back that are in both games, I just can't tell a difference.  Plus, a lot of the sound effects sound the same to me, like when you get hit, or the bonking noise.

I was playing this last night....does anyone get anything BUT the red weapon? I got the yellow once but the damn thing changes so slow I never risk seeing past that. And the yellow side weapon one kind of sucked.

AND WHY DO THE f*ckING "S" SHOT POWERUPS FLY AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!

[blueraven]

Never played it but I love this thread

The Blue Weapon, at full power, is the best weapon in terms of damage and coverage. In fact, if you power up the Blue fully, you won't need anything else to beat the game - outside of the random death from a sniper tank.

Later in the game you'll want to be able to perch in an opposite corner and still hit a boss, instead of having Red, which still forces you to be close to hit. Yellow is a penalty weapon. Toaplan dev's assure us "it has its uses," but we know better. Much like the Green weapon in Fire Shark/Same Same Same.

AND WHY DO THE f*ckING "S" SHOT POWERUPS FLY AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!

From a great translation of one of Toaplan's devs talking about Kyuukyoku Tiger:

http://shmuplations.com/toaplan-yuge1/

—Even when you were playing around, you always made your deadlines though.

Masahiro Yuge: We set out deadlines ourselves, but if we gave ourselves too much time it would be embarassing to us as programmers. Everyone felt that way. Also, whether we were screwing around, eating, or sleeping, all we thought about was games. You know the way the items in Kyuukyoku Tiger swirl around the screen? One day when I was on lunch break, I saw the zigzag pattern in my donburi ramen and though, “this is it!”, and hurried back to the office to code that pattern in for the items.

—Really?! I thought the items were coded so as to move away from your ship when they were released.

Yuge: It wasn’t like that. That’s just the donburi pattern being faithfully reproduced.

[GoldenWheels]

goddamn Masahiro and  his ramen!!! Was playing Raiden on Snes (eww, I know) a few days ago and the power ups kind of do the same thing. Freakin' annnoying.

Do like Tiger but Avenger is the superior PC Engine heli shewty IMO...

[fragmare]

Oh hell yes, the PCE version of Kyukyoku/Twin Cobra is badass... hey, whadda ya know, Arkhan DOES sometimes like GOOD games.  XD  lol ZING!

But seriously, it's awesome.  So is the PCE version of Daisenpuu/Twin Hawk. 

And you shut your whore mouth about Raiden!  lol

[EmperorIng]

He just means Raiden Trad on the Super Nintendo, which is rightly mocked as a huge piece of shit.
