I've played China Warrior. It reminded me of a slightly better graphical version of Ninja Golf, but Ninja Golfia is actually fun, unlike China Warrior.

Legendary Axe 2 Bloody Wolf Air Zonk That's my TG-16 holy trinity

@Shenanigans0409 Год назад

China Warrior is the sole reason why I wanted a TG16. I know it’s not a particularly good game, but it’s quite fun if you don’t expect a whole lot from it. If this is 1 star, then Kung Fu on NES kind of has to be.

@pun_dimen Год назад

I actually like that game, big sprites and all

@ZBR_ProXP Год назад

Dude, no. Kung Fu NES is crispy as hell, it’s almost perfect in its simplicity. How can you say this?

@Pai3000 5 месяцев назад

Kung Fu on the NES is a whole lot more playable. That being said, I owned both back in the day and I liked China Warrior too.

@themailman3331 Год назад

I was the only kid in my neighborhood who had a TurboGrafx. R-Type, Splatterhouse, Legendary Axe and Blazing Lazers were always the games I mentioned when defending its honor.

@lwbga666 Год назад

That's a banger lineup as a kid in the day with a turbo

@jongabrielminney2440 Год назад

You defended it well

@jimmyguy428 Год назад

Those are definitely some of the best games on the system!

@jasonduvall6565 Год назад

Ditto. But also bonk. And ghost manor. ,. And a few others I can't memmer

@jamesrich8463 Год назад

Bonk and Bonk's Revenge. Devil's Crush a good pinball game. To bad the Bonk games can't come on steam so play them again. I actually had the turbo express handheld system back then as well as the regular console, all the games played on the turbo express.

@EvaFull Год назад

Y’s Book I & II is the quintessential 5-Star Turbografx-16 game.

@mvl71 Год назад

This, but without the apostrophe (sorry, I guess I'm just an Ys fanboy ;) )

@EVROXX007 Год назад

I have a special place in my heart for Turbografx. I’d say my all time favorites are Splatterhouse, Devil’s Crush, Dungeon Explorer, Legendary Axe 2, the Bonk games, and Ninja Spirit.

@lyrand6408 Год назад

The crazy thing (to me anyway) is that there _has_ to be at least one person on this planet who would consider every single one of these games their Best Game Of All Time. Someone out there is wearing a T-Shirt of China Warrior and has posters of the main character in the bed room.

@PJ_Playz Год назад

Eh, I guess I'm that person though not that deep lol. I actually enjoy most of the LJN library for example with Beetlejuice being my favorite ( nostalgic reasons I guess).

@thom_nook_ Год назад

Final Lap Twin was one of my favorite

@thisappleisyummy Год назад

As a kid I loved Devil's Crush, Neutopia, and Legendary Axe, as a adult I have been playing mostly Blazing Lasers and Bonk 3.

@dire51 Год назад

Just sticking to the US TG16, I'd say my top 5 five star games are Blazing Lazers, The Legendary Axe II, Soldier Blade, Ninja Spirit and Splatterhouse.

@ChairmanMeow1 Год назад

not a bad list at all. I actually prefer the first legendary axe though, it just has a vibe to it I like.

@deadeyedarwin Год назад

Hard to disagree with that list.

@DarksladeDiaries Год назад

Hey John. An old gamer here. (60+) Fan of your channel. Deep Blue had a lot going on after the first 2 levels. You gotta give it a chance. That one and Balistics were two of my favorites. And Time Cruise was a heck of a lot of fun. The size of the table, the billions (over exaggeration) of targets. Also the fact that TurboGrafx handled pinball in a way the other systems couldn't. To say we didn't need a new one? We can ALWAYS use a new pinball game. So no, those are not 1 star games in my opinion. And honestly, how can anyone classify what is a 1 star game or a 5 star game. That is determined by the person who plays it.

@krisfrederick5001 Год назад

I remember literally ONE friend of mine had a TURBO as a kid. It was alien to me 👽👀

@Wheels8504 Год назад

I know absolutely nothing about this console. Never heard of it until the Wii was released. So your video has taught me something new. Thank you John.

Ballistix looks like someone tried to make a video game out of the Cross Fire table top game.

@Des_Zee Год назад

Just getting into TG-16 games recently because I shunned the system back in the day but right now I'm enjoying "Final Lap. Twin". Very good, deep racing game.

@The_Real_DCT Год назад

Ballistics actually reminds me more of the game Crossfire, where you and your opponent are firing balls at a little black puck like object to get it in the goal

@mattm7798 Год назад

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!coolesyt commercial ever for a kid...I read it was an ok game in real life but the commercial made it look so cool!

@mamehaze Год назад

Crater Maze definitely isn't a 1 star game, it's a port of the arcade game "Kid no Hore Hore Daisakusen" which is one of my favourites in the arcades too. It's interesting that it got rethemed as Doraemon in Japan.

@aldoushuxleysghost Год назад

Darkwing Duck was so good on NES. I got snookered by the sprite size in this one. After a minute of playing this, I wanted to cry

My favorite TG16 game that I would personally rate 5 star is "JJ and Jeff" (AKA "Kato-chan & Ken-chan" in Japan). It's kind of a jank game, but it's just so goofy and bizarre that I can't help but love it.

@adamzeromusic Год назад

You ever see the Game Center CX where Arino plays through JJ and Jeff? Arino is a comedian & knows the guys the game is based on.

@soulstalka1 Год назад

Really like the Turbografx. I discovered it during the lockdowns having never heard of it back in the day. Some of the games that I really enjoyed and completed are the Neutopia series, bloody wolf, legendary axe and ninja spirits. Not to mention all the great shooters. Are they 5 star games,? Heck if I know, but i really likedthem.

@aldoushuxleysghost Год назад

My fave five (excluding Turbo Duo) would have to be Lord of Thunder, Dungeon Explorer, R-Type, Air Zonk, and The Legendary Axe

@BravePip Год назад

Ballistix reminds me of that board game from the 90s called Crossfire, where you shot little bbs at a target trying to force the target into your opponent's goal area. I wonder if there was something about that concept in the 90s

@TravisWebb Год назад

I beat China Warrior because I owned it. I figured out a long time ago its more like an an early beat game. Cratermaze was fun, it was basically a top down modernization of load runner. I would have put it at 3 stars because you can really addicted to as a time waster. Talespin was fun, so I saved up and was super excited to get Darkwing Duck. I would put it in once in a while and get nowhere, I was so upset that I bought it. GOD Motoroader…. Whyyyyy…. I would still give it one star and I have owned it since it game out. Crap Power Golf?? I love that game, I still play it to this day. It’s one of my favorite golf games to this day. And then Talespin is on here.. I loved it, I beat it. I guess then it was because it was one of the only other platformer on the system. I think people should play time. I am gonna play powergolf now.

@Seikent Год назад

As my favorite games (that I owned): Ninja Spirit, Slatterhouse and Dragon's Curse were the best, after that I fondly remember Bloody Wolf, Neutopia 2, Tiger Road, Vigilante, Shockman, Golden Axe II and Rainbow Islands.

@freddysandoval4252 Год назад

The funny thing is that you mention that China Warrior "...looks like a fan made project on macromedia flash back in like 2004", but if that were the case it would have better play control. 😂

@stavroskassinos7834 Год назад

One of my all time favorite Turbografx-16 games is Lords of Thunder. Graphically pretty great for being Turbografx-16, the soundtrack is rockin, and I just have constant fun playing over and over and over again. I honestly prefer it to Gate of Thunder, and it’s honestly pretty tough so I’ve never been able to beat it, but I have so much fun each time I don’t mind playing it again. On another note, Castlevania Dracula X: Rondo of Blood. One of the quintessential Castlevania games. Enough said

Always wanted a TG16 as a kid, but didn't get one until a couple years ago. Love the system, but yeah, collecting for it is murder on my bank account. That said, there are some seriously amazing games on it. Five stars, I'd definitely have to go with Air Zonk, Chew Man Fu, Bonk's Adventure, Blazing Lasers, Splatterhouse, Jackie Chan, Alien Crush, Devil's Crush, Galaga '90, Klax, R-Type, Dragon Spirit, Aero Blasters, and maybe Soldier Blade...

@gamet2004 Год назад

Cratermaze is like Street Combat, not because it's a bad game, but because the japanese version of the game is based on my favorite anime ever, Doraemon. What's even stranger is that even the Japanese version of the game is based on another game, called Booby Kids, where the protagonist of the game is literally the same blue-dude from Cratermaze. Btw I love Cratermaze, and it is easily one of my favorite games ever.

@gregorys9629 Год назад

So many great games on the TurboGrafx which I've loved discovering on the mini - Lords of Thunder, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and Star Parodier are all excellent!

@supercaveman Год назад

Fin is French for “The End” and it’s on French films of course. Some people put Fin at the end of their games or movies in order to give it a sense or pretentiousness for humor sake. This or the game developers for that were actually French.

@BlankSpacePub Год назад

I had a TG 16 as a kid but not a ton of games. The ones I remember playing the most were the Bonk Games, Legendary Axe, Blazing Lasers,Keith Courage (even though that’s more of a middle tier game), and a racing RPG called Final Lap Twin. I’m sure the latter title is considered mediocre, but I looooved that game as a kid.

@Black01Dragon Год назад

Man I used to go to Bellis Fair in Bellingham as a kid and I saw this when it came out and Keith Courage demo was on display. I wanted to buy it so badly but we had a Nintendo. Can’t complain because I fell in love with Castlevania 1-3, Dragon Warrior 1-4, Double dragon 1-3, and Megaman 1-5. Ya okay Im happy I had an NES

@DrixxelSoft Год назад

Haha, oh man... from this list, my brother & I growing up had Ballistix, Darkwing Duck, Deep Blue and Power Golf. Darkwing Duck and Deep Blue were bought through Turbo Zone Direct mail order, just anything else would have been better than those two. I maintain that Power Golf's pretty good, but it desperately needs an in-game shot preview of some sort - I mean, you're expected to refer to the manual for info on the various clubs' distances! Devil's Crush, for me, is the ultimate TG16 game and among the very best of the whole 16-bit era. Military Madness and Blazing Lazers are also super duper good, just to name a few I'd unquestionably rank as five star contenders :D

@jeremiahthomas8140 Год назад

As far as five-star games, two of my favorites are Dungeons & Dragons: Order of the Griffon and Military Madness. I would definitely include Bonk's Adventure. Bonk's Revenge and Bonk III are great games, but I think the first one is the best.

@Keiffer01 Год назад

Honestly I find China Warrior great. I've played so much of it, it has a lot of memorization behind it and once you get the hang of it there is great fun and challenge to be had. It feels like a Kung-Fu sequel for sure!

@Nightweaver1 Год назад

I think I saw one Turbografix 16 once when I was over a friend's house when I was like, 12. Never owned one, never really was into it. I was a Nintendo kid all the way until Gamecube.

@jasongillson6563 Год назад

I will never understand why Tale Spin shows up on so many people's hate lists. It's not the best game, but it's fun and it's got a nice variety of levels. I see so many videos where people say that this game is hard and they can't finish it, which I also don't understand. I can finish this game every single time I play it. For me it's all about the nostalgia. I had a turbo graphics back in the day and I chose it over the Super NES and the genesis because I'm all about the underdog

I Used to love Moto Roader. I would always pick the black car and upgrade to look like the bat mobile.

@ringo8410 Год назад

My five star TG16 game: Bravoman (or Beraboh Man)! I know it's cheesy as hell but I just adore that quirky little game. Played it a lot when I was a patient in the hospital, so a lot of it's nostalgia, but I think it's a fun game.

@Bubbabyte99 Год назад

Bravoman is a guilty pleasure for me. I think you and I are the only two people who would give it 5 stars lol

@shenloken2 Год назад

I’ll defend TailSpin for Turbografx 16 as well. It’s way better than Darkwing Duck on the system and honestly it’s what the NES version should’ve been. At least half of it with the other half being more functional flying stages.

I was surprised to see Time Cruise on there. Is it as good as Devil's Crush? No, but not much is in that genre. The bonus games are a lot of fun in it once you figure out how to get to them. There's also a really bizarre set of graphics demos in the options menu, it's like the programmer just got bored and had some leftover ROM to fill. I dunno, I think it's neat.

I too, had the Turbografx when I was a kid. Got it in 1989. (xmas) I was one of the few, the proud. Had Takin it To The Hoop as well as Turbo Sports, Hockey and Basketball. Hockey was playable but nothing great. The basketball games were both fun but Tv sports basketball was the better game. Takin it to the hoop had wonky controls. Vigilante was similar to China Warrior yet somehow was vastly superior. Victory Run was super generic too.

@benaiahburns4046 Год назад

Crater Maze is definitely not a 1-Star game. I'd go so far as to even say 3.5 or 4.0.. It's fun, quirky, and has a lot of charm, AND a lot of levels.

I would definitely give Hyper Dyne Side Arms a five star rating. Still havent beaten it, but I love it and keep trying. Atomic Robot Kid; maybe not 5 star but still really fun.
