Speaking of Victory Run, I played a bit of Chase HQ the other night. First time I'd ever played the Turbo version. It reminds me of Victory Run in terms of perspective, but it's a lot faster and more exciting. That said, the trade-off seems to be that it doesn't run very smoothly and the gameplay is extremely repetitive. I suppose that's to be expected from an arcade racer from the late 80s, though.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

Got one to sell? PM me!

I attempted another run at Victoly Run earlier today.
I'm amazed to see my opinion is still the same as it was 9 years ago.
It sucks.

Your review kind of missed the point. Victory Run looks and feels like a standard racer, but it calls for a completely different driving strategy than Outrun or Rad Racer:

Not for everyone, but it doesn't suck.

Been playing Last Armageddon on and off for the past week or so. Can't really get into it due to language barrier and the lack of faqs kind of kills it. I wish I knew more Japanese...

Played a bit of a bunch of games in the past few weeks. New Zealand Story is super charming, reminds me of Parasol Stars. Momotaro Katsugeki is neat, but I won't pretend I got terribly far in it. Flash Hiders is pretty, but I haven't figured out the moves yet. I was under the impression that it's basically like SF2 (and Kabuki Itoryuden), but I had a *way* easier time figuring out Kabuki than Flash Hiders. I probably should try all the characters and maybe look at the manual. Also played a bit of Coryoon. It's cool, I think I prefer Air Zonk to it though. Enemy shots seem to blend into the background and I constantly get tagged. Also, finally got back into LoX last night, excited to finish up the first area this weekend!

Been playing Dragon's Curse. I'm tiger man fighting blue samurais and realize my only hope is a good stock of tornadoes. So need to find a good spot to grind and pick up a bunch.

Also been working on Ys 2 slowly. Not really feeling it right now, might shelve this one and come back (not a dig on the game at all, it rocks, just not in the mood for it currently)

"Dragon Spirit" - 5/25/2012
« Reply #1445 on: May 25, 2012, 05:18:46 PM »
I didn't wanna just have my TurboExpress sitting there for another half a decade doing nothing after having gone to the trouble of to make it functional again, so I grabbed "Dragon Spirit" and gave it a whirl! Entered the code for 100 continues and managed to beat it in a couple of hours. Last stages were pretty tough at times, but I eventually plowed through victoriously (eh, with a quite a bit of continues, but who keeps count of that sort of thing, right fellas? Hehe!)! I noticed the ending text was pretty badly translated, which kinda surprised me - I didn't remember that, I probably didn't care to read it thoroughly as a kid...

STILL can't find the lantern in Dragon Slayer, so I've restarted in hopes of searching more thoroughly to locate it.

The wife and I have been playing 2 player Cadash in hopes of finishing it with the Ninja and Mage... so far, not much luck.

Still have to clear Dungeon Explorer with a few characters...

Game on!

I'm currently on Dungeon Explorer. I absolutely loved that game back in the day but haven't played it in many years (at least 15). I was always console hopping.

While I'm enjoying it I think the nostalgic memories had me overhyped. I'll go onto DE2 with more realistic expectations.

I've gone back into Ys Books 1 and 2. Currently halfway through Book 2. It's a nice game. I've also been playing Cosmic Fantasy 2. I think I'm a little more than halfway into that game.

As far as hucards go, I started Neutopia. Currently on the second shrine. Cute game and I like the music.

Galaga '90.  I didn't get far, but I still managed to impress myself.  I wish I had had this game back when I was a teenager.  So many more hours I could have wasted.  Ha!
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

I played some Gradius II yesterday.  Made it to the level after the Easter Island heads; the one with the columns that fall.  I don't think I've ever beaten that level. :)

Played through Bomberman '93 sporadically this weekend. Just watched the credits roll... tried to take a photo of the ending screen and my camera kept auto-focusing on the little monster faces, so cute! Maybe I'll do '94 or classic Bomberman next.
