TG16 recommendations
sheep2001:
Thanks guys, will check all those out.
Mine came with blazing lasers sealed inside.
@gruesome - I've got a soft spot for 16 bit shooters, but also love 2d fighters and puzzle games. And you prob can guess I like platformers from the PAC-land comment above. :)
Any views of the tg versions of:
Vigilante
R-type
Fantasy zone
Dragon spirit
Most auctions seem to be coming up from the us, so looks like I'm gonna be paying lots of postage :(
BadChad:
Cant believe no one mentioned Neutopia I & II. Another one of my favorites (but you'll need a converter ) is Final Soldier.
And yeah, Soldier Blade is badass. Probably my favorite shmup for the TG16. Still dont have a copy yet, because I refuse to buy a copy without the book, plus its pretty tough to come by to begin with. Then theres Magical Chase, but we wont go there...
tiktektak:
Don't forget Super Star Soldier!!!
Or Ordyne, or R-Type Complete!
There are soooooo many great shooters on the TG....

As far as Schmups - Solider Blade, R-Type, Super Star Soldier, Air Zonk and Sidearms are some of the TG-16's best offerings (Blazing Lazers obviously, but you've already bought that). There isn't too much in the way of fighting games on the TG-16 unless you have the CD add on. Great puzzle games: Tricky Kick, Parasol Stars, Boxy Boy, Bomberman '93 and Chew Man Fu.

Thats probably the best version of R-type you can get on a retro console. I would also recommend Jackie Chans Kung Fu Adventure (if you can find a copy), Its better than the NES version.
