I've got the CIC Raiden Hucard, its not too bad, R-Type f*cks with me good though, that damn level with the huge ship, level 3??


My feelings after reaching level 6 of R-type (which is about 10% of the time for me)...

One day I'll force myself to beat it, a lot of it has to be memorization.

Pure pattern memorization at its finest, which is why I keep coming back.

I finally beat R Type a couple of years ago.  I'd made it to the last boss forever ago but had never been able to win.  It was a huuuuuge weight lifted off my shoulders once I'd finally beaten it.

In the "worst huey ever poll," Necromancer (albeit, I am sure 100% unintentional on his part) inspired me to reach out and try some of the shittier games in the TG library that are all but unanimously hated, despised, and yet somehow owned by many of us.

I only have about 6 or so of these games (As a general rule, I typically don't buy shitty games just to have them), but I am going to start with King of Casino and post a couple of thoughts later.

So King of Casino...

The Good: It's 100% playable, and you can play with 5 total people! It's basically every casino compilation ever that comes pre-installed on your PC, or the compilation of casino games that you buy at Target for $10.

The Bad: "It's basically every casino compilation ever that comes pre-installed on your. . ." blah blah blah. If you've ever played any computer or digital versions of a casino game, then you've basically played King of Casino already. Nothing new or original about this game, but what the hell does anybody really except??

Overall: Although I can't really see too much of a reason for wanting to play this at home (unless you just REALLY dig casino games) this could be a solid time killer for a road trip on a TE. Definitely not a top pick for said road trip, but if you want a more passive gaming experience, instead of the stress or commitment that other TG games require, then King of Casino might be the way to go.

Beat Bonk's Revenge again this morning. Was just going to play for 30 min or so, but got into the game. There are some frustrating elements with the control and how some bosses almost always damage you when you hit them, but then the game throws so many extra Bonks at you it's like they knew what they were doing and then apologizing right afterwards.

Nexzr

Is it me or is that game hard? I've played a few credits so far and I have yet to reach the first stage boss. :oops: There are some graphical effects going on in the background that you just don't know if they're just for show or if it can kill you. Love the visuals and music though - just my style - but being used to play Blazing Lazers and the Soldier series, the game seems a tad unforgiving so far.

Collateral damage: suddenly, I am a lot less interested in Rayxanber II and Image Fight II than I initially had been...  :wink:

Yes, it's awesome when a game takes over your soul, leaving no room for Rayxanber II / Image Fight II (the aforementioned games will make you cry and question your very existence.)

Tackling Nexr is pure fun. Enjoy it.

Tv sports basketball on my turbo express! Great game, so many memories come now to the surface from when I was playing it on my Amiga... Font is tiny on TE but overall is a very addictive basketball game. Cinemaware did an excellent job back then! (as well as with "it came from the desert" too!)

Well, I finally opened up my sealed Lords of Thunder and Ys IV, I got a new drive and I've been ripping my old games too so I went back and played a little Drac X, Spriggan, Macross 2036 among others.  I haven't played through the two new ones yet, so they're both new games to me.  I might give Nightwolve's Ys IV translation a go.  Looking forward to some LoT, too.

Currently I am getting my ass handed to me on the Apollo stage of Military Madness.
