On 9/18/2023 at 9:36 PM, GPX said: I personally think it depends on how similar the 2 versions of R Type are. If too similar, it might get a stale feel for the viewers. If there are noteworthy differences (eg. if one’s ridiculously good and the other shockingly bad), then it might be cool to do 2 versions consecutively. Probably won’t matter too much though whichever you choose. Thanks for the feedback! Since I made a point to keep them as standalone 'reviews' without really comparing the ports to each other like you guys mentioned, I think I'll sit on this one to post later during a dry-spell (maybe sometime next month when I'll probably be busy with Ink-Tober).

[T-Pac] Yes, if you’re doing quick, snappy reviews, then it’s likely best to do different titles, otherwise it might sound too similar overall and we also get to see new artwork this way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Pac | 7,573 Graphics Team · Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 Circus Caper [Nintendo Entertainment System - 1990] This video ended up being way too long. But I couldn't possibly avoid talking about the Godzilla minigame, and I just don't have enough discretion to cut all of my bad jokes, either. Hoping to keep future entries under 3 minutes.

T-Pac | 7,573 Graphics Team · Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 Dead Moon [PC Engine - 1991] I wanted to give this one a go after @Crabmaster2000 mentioned it in the "Beat Every TurboGrafx-16 Game" thread. (You're killing it with all those TG-16 clears, by the way). And the ostrich is relevant to the game - I promise haha. [T-Pac] 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabmaster2000 | 501 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Just took a look through your thread here. Your art is amazing! Love to see some of these lesser known games get some really cool attention. Dead Moon is never a game that I would have thought I'd like to see some fan art for, but your absolutely convinced me that I need more now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PII | 1,889 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I've only played the ColecoVision version of Dragonfire so far. The drawbridge is considerably more difficult with an eventual moving platform and a guy in the parapet shooting arrows at you. I think maybe the flames might be faster/more numerous as well. It's been a little while but I remember that its possible to jump and hit the side of the castle.. And I'm pretty sure the exit door inside the castle can be used at any point w/o having to pick up every piece of treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Pac | 7,573 Graphics Team · Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Castlevania [Nintendo Entertainment System - 1986] Finished this one just in time for Halloween! Does anyone else find Castlevania to be more difficult than Ninja Gaiden, or is it just me? [T-Pac] 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdrunner | 422 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Great work as always! I would give the difficulty edge to Ninja Gaiden over Castlevania, but it's close. They both have the knockback thing when you get hit, which causes a lot of problems until you master the tricky spots. Ninja Gaiden's final act is much more epic however, especially on a first playthrough. Edited October 29, 2023 by rdrunner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
