I liked when you said the word "cadence", it hit me right in the feels. There isn't any meat in this video, but the graphics are outstanding. I also appreciate the subtle hint of Terry S. Taylor thrown in for legal reasons, and to ward off the homeless. Don't think I didn't notice, Pal. I'm Random. Hi!
I do love the Lynx’s quirky library. There were a few collections released for the Evercade, but they’re sadly discontinued now. Definitely rooting for a second installment of this video!
I owned most of these. I miss my Lynx and the faves I had. Crystal Mines was great and I played the heck outta that one!.Hydra… man that one was fun too. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Lynx’s Toki. It felt like he was swimming in mud the whole game. I never had Xybots. That’s an interesting one. Great vid, John!!! (And as we talked about before, one of my faves was Xenophobe. I think that’s the best translation/port of that game on any console outside of the actual arcade ROM)
Great selection! This is one of my favorite libraries and at one point I had almost all of it including the unreleased Aliens demo, today though emulation and digital collections suit me just fine 🤷🏼♂️ Fun vid John!
Just so it has its own post: Sandy Petersen has commented on this video that he is the one who trimmed SNES Doom's maps. He was, in fact, not at all involved in SNES Doom's development. The sole programmer of SNES Doom was Randy Linden who developed the engine it (the SNES port specifically) runs on and was also the person who altered map architecture to be better optimized to run in his engine on the SuperFX2. Not only was Sandy not involved, he would not have known what to do in the first place. To further drive this point home, the map lookup table in SNES Doom has an easter egg with Randy's name on it. It is very well documented who worked on SNES Doom and what they did, so this isn't even a case of 'misremembering' something. This is Sandy just outright lying and is yet another 'Hi Sandy, hope you are doing well' moment.
That's a better DooM than the PlayStation version The SNES version of DooM is the best cause it's not the stupid Jaguar port like the PlayStation and other consoles
Military Madness struck the perfect level of involvement for me as a kid. I still really enjoy the game and consider it my favorite of the system. My dad, and therefor my brother and I, loved Alien and Devil's Crush! You're spot on with DC being a perfect game. I consider myself extremely lucky to have played these when they were new. Most kids I knew had no idea what TG-16 or any of these games were. Props to my dad for buying us cool shit, great memories!
@@Johnnygrafx which core? the first didnt work for me (probs didnt get bios so downloading them all) crazy rondo of blood only got released on such obscure console, symphony of the night is so overflooded everywhere yet rondo of blood is fairly hard to emulate and ridicolously almost impossible to play on real hardware and CD thx to the price
I don't remember the music being drowned out in Gate of Thunder. But it has been a long time since I played it on my system. I also had it on the 3(4) in 1 CD. Maybe that was different? Riot Zone had a glitch my friend discovered. If you get rid of all your health, and land a hit, (i think the turbo switch must be on) your enemy will remain in contact with your fist until his/her health depletes.
Back in the day, I was a total Sega fanboy. I laughed at TG-16 failure. Now I realize how great the TG-16/PCE was. Would've been nice to have both back then if $$$ wasn't always tight, as it was for most kids.
I still have my original that I got for Christmas. That version of Doom not only sucked, but you couldn't punch in cheat codes to make a little easier.
Hate watching you destroy the original label just to make the cartridge look like it was purchased yesterday Some things are old, they’ve been through some shit, let them carry their history instead of erasing it with a fabrication
Magical Chase sounds (and looks) amazing. Shame it wasn't released for the Wii Virtual Console or the TurboGrafx Mini, leaving it doubtful that I'll ever play it. I love Blazing Lazers. It's always good for a short romp. It's a shame that the last level is so insanely difficult, but save state abuse via the TurboGrafx Mini allowed me to finally see the whole thing. And like many shmups of the era, you don't need to beat it to enjoy it. I like the look of Alien Crush and Military Madness but haven't had the chance to properly dig into them yet, just a few quarters dropped on Alien Crush.
Definitely a wide variety of unique games that look fun to play. Saru Maru sent me and I am glad to see another quality channel here too! Quite a great video all around, Gents!
