I've found that even some of the turds of the PCE/TG16 library I find some redeeming qualities in...enough to keep them.
That said, I am determined to complete Tale Spin lately. Read: masochist
Tale Spin.
One of these days I'll play it in earnest.
Speaking of "turds"... I played a bit of Samurai Ghost yesterday. Damn, I wish I could play that game on the normal difficulty setting. I get to the level where you have to outrun the lava & usually die there, or the level after. It's a shame, as some of the later boss fights are really cool.
I love Samurai Ghost, but it is challenging. I still struggle on bits I know (dodging the cloud boss who has lightning...I forget to hit him! So I spend a long time dodging and never actually attacking!)
I haven't figured everything out, but there are different paths in the game (did you know you can jump over gates?! Yup, you can. It's not even that tricky. So, sometimes a second, hidden gate lies behind the initial one at the end of a level).
Our fellow forum member NinjaSpirit beat this damn game many years ago, in 1/100 of the time it took me. He made it his goal to beat the damn thing and was much better than I could have been.
Anyway, there is hope, but, if you're like me and don't use FAQs/guides/videos, well...damn, you're in for some work.
