Gradius 2 pc engine manuals#

It shares a lot of the assets and the music is similar (just a different (better) arrangement). I did play (and still play once in a while) the MSX version a lot, but that is just an entirely different game as well. Well, tbqh I can't really compare Salamander on PCE with any other version. I've heard they're drastically different games though? Hey, how's the PCE version of Salamander? I'd like to get a copy at some point, but I've been leaning toward the Famicom due to that sweet clear cart.

The SNES one did seem competent though maybe I should give the translated ROM another try? My copy did include some cool maps and extra guides / manuals though. I think the Ys I & II was also included with later packings of the Turbo Duo, and the disc was reprinted with 'Turbo Duo' on it, replacing 'Turbo Grafx 16.' My copy is the Turbo Duo, so it must be a later pressing.Įmerald Dragon is a pure Utility Disc for me $10 seemed reasonable for access to my Memory Bank. It's my favorite space-ship shooter the music is incredible and it's a very easy game to memorize. Even at the prices it commands now (north of $80) it's still much cheaper than getting the four games individually. It's gone up in price recently, but mine was around $60. The disc case is blank, though I had to print my own spine / rear art. I see a lot of them out there without all three manuals. So apart from trying to get the essentials on the system, it's just great to be able to take a risk for a small price once in a while, and maybe even discover a game you also really like in the process. Like 2 of the three Tengai Makyou games my buddy got me, and also Tokimeki Memorial, he got for less than €2 CIB.

Yeah, Oedo is still really cheap in Japan, as are some other games. But then I recently found out about the PC Engine version, which is a whole lot cheaper still, and maybe even the better version too. I've been eyeing the MSX version of it for a while, but it doesn't look all that appealing. I asked about Emerald Dragon because it's been one of those games I've been really hesitant about getting. Like 2 of the three Tengai Makyou games my buddy got me, and also Tokimeki Memorial, he got for less than 2 CIB. Interesting and actually a great deal, it seems, considering what you're getting in a single package. I'll get to discover it myself somewhere later this year and am looking forward to it.

I also have a buddy in Japan (thanks to whom I got most of the above), and he's actually currently playing the copy of Gate he found for me last week. Yeah, I heard Gate of Thunder is reaallly good.
