Talespin sucks

[geise]

Wow...I didn't know.  I would have to say Deep Blue is better, but for me not by much.  I just love shooters more than anything.

I don't really know why Deep Blue gets panned so much. It's just different than your typical shooter. The powerup and life system is different, unique. There's strategical merit in memorizing the patterns of the waves of enemies that assault you. Graphically it's great for a game released in 1989, all the sprites are just beautiful. The bosses are huge. It's tough, but I like challenging shooters. I've beaten it, and there's a huge sense of achievement in doing so.

Duh.

Ah yes...Talespin.  Yes it sucks, but does it suck as much as Deep Blue?

I'm inclined to say yes, but I'll hold off until after I've spent some real time with Talespin.  Deep Blue is the [JeffAlbertson] worst shooter ever [/JeffAlbertson] on the TG-16, though it's darn pretty and sounds good.

I like the graphics in Deep Blue and the music.  Too me where it falls apart is the controls.  I don't think it plays very well.  That is a huge factor for me and a shooter.

It plays fine. You guys are just pussies.

first off-

TALESPIN RULES!!!!


Second off-

just kidding.



I want to give this Deep Blue a day in court though.  I remember always having the box in my hand, turning it over, feeling its weight when shopping for turbografx games back in the day.  I think the day is finally near!  Seriously though I think what attracts me the most to it is that it is in widescreen- now I don't have a widescreen tv but still- I can dream.

Like the saying goes - you are what you eat.

Deep Blue is far superior to Tale Spin imo.

i do agree with that statement : Talespin sucks. That's why I'm never gonna open my sealed copy of that p.o.s.
Thanks for reminding me, Nat

And by the way, I love the first post of this thread.

,I'll go back and play it later tonight.  It's been so long, who knows...I might like it.

Those damned monkeys just kept bombing me with coconuts    I couldn't even make it past the first level

It's been a few months to a year since I've played Talespin, but for some reason i remember that the action revolves around platforming and throwing around tomatoes... not exactly what I think of when I remember the cartoon show...

Unlike Scrooge's pogo jumping around the world and Chip 'N Dale's platforming and throwing around apples...

Touche Tiger!

The difference for me is that with Talespin there is also a shooter for the NES that revolves around flying the plane... Most of my memories about the show tend to revolve around the plane...

Although, in Ducktales' favor, collecting gems and amassing a fortune (haha i remember Scrooge's voice as he said fortune in the cartoon LOL) is a big part of the game.
