    Default Need some Turbo Grafx game advice

    Hello all, I am shopping around and i found a few games that I wanna get but only have enough for 1. I am looking at

    Fantasy Zone-case and manual
    Legendary Axe 2-case and manual
    Aero Blasters - case and manual
    Military Madness- case and manual
    Final Lap Twin - unopened, but i am going to :P

    These are the games i am looking at, I just bought Neutopia and R-type, Nuetopia 2 is a pain to find at any decent price.

    I can't find the buy and sell forum...so i don't know if you guys have any better deals for me other than eBay, Thanks you guys.

    Jake

    The Buy/Sell forum becomes available to you after 10 days. Hang tight.

    As far as my personal recommendation, I've always been a huge mark for the Legendary Axe games. They're brutally hard, but really unique where Turbo Grafx games are concerned.

    Legendary Axe 2 is great. Aeroblasters is great. Have not played Fantasy Zone or Final Lap Twin.

    That said. Get Military Madness...it's an awesome strategy game. My favorite startegy game of the era...

    All of the games are great. I love Legendary Axe II though. Military Madness is also very good if you like strategy games.

    Military Madness for my money's worth.

    If you love Advance Wars, you'll love this and get more bang for ya buck I say.

    Those are all great selections, however Military Madness gets my vote if I had to chose. It's also the best value for the money if all of these games are priced in the same ballpark.

    Actually, it's a trick question. The correct answer is Parasol Stars.

    Legendary Axe 2 or Military Madness no question.

    Military Madness if you want something a little different.

    If I could choose only one, absolutely I would pick Military Madness. I even have Neo Netaris on my iPhone, the formula holds up so well. Great strategy game, even today.

    Thanks for the info guys! Yes they are all priced relatively close (except final lap twin). Military Madness has my eye, i wanna see how it is. I will probably go for that. I already have Legendary Axe 1, and two looked alright. I did read or something that it has the same sprite replacement like Super mario bros 2.

    ANYWAY, what else should i look for, that is a reasonable price. I want to slowly collect all the US Hucards that i can, starting with the smaller ones of course.

    No sprite replacement at all... maybe you're thinking about Cratermaze (same as arcade) / Doraemon (sprite replacement) or JJ&Jeff / Kato & Ken?

    Anyway, of the above games, I'd recommend Aeroblasters for an easy game to get into. If you actually like strategy, by all means, get Military Madness! Be sure to get Legendary Axe II if only for the fantastic atmosphere and the best music on the system.

    And Sidearms is great! Frustrating, but an oldskool arcade blaster with really good Capcom-programmed music.

    Is fantasy zone any good?

    i am thinking about this Military madness, sidearms (plus a free game from seller )

    Then fantasy zone on its own...If FZ sucks or something, then legendary axe 2?

    Fantasy Zone is alright, but it has nothing on Legendary Axe and Military Madness. If anything, you want those two because those are exclusive to the console and really are staples of the Turbo's library.

    Fantasy Zone is the weakest of all of the games in that list, IMO, and I might be THE biggest fan of the series here (Fantasy Zone II is tied for my favorite video game of all time). It's really just something to have, but it has the least amount of debt of any game mentioned, and is available on several other consoles. You can run through it in literally 5 minutes, and the game just repeats over again and again after the seventh(?) stage. You basically play it until you're bored because the challenge is such that you can play it infinitely if you good enough, which doesn't take much time at all.

    I'd but the games in this order by appeal:

    1. Military Madness
    2. Legendary Axe 2
    3. Aero Blasters
    4. Final Lap Twin
    5. Fantasy Zone


    You might swap Legendary Axe 2 and Aero Blasters depending on how much you're into shooters vs. action platformers. Honestly, LA2 got the number 2 slot on my list because you already own the first one and I have a thing about completing series.

    EDIT: I just saw your updated post. Dude, purchase Alien Crush immediately. That game is AWESOME.

    I have a soft spot for shooters, which is why i got sidearms.

    Fantasy zone just looked fun to me, i do agree too easy..i think he is check off

    I do need to complete me LA series lol, so leaning heavily toward LA2

    So now my list comes down to this

    Legendary axe 2
    Alien crush...

    Yeah, if the price is good don't even think twice about Alien Crush. Otherwise, I actually find Legendary Axe 2 to be the strongest on that list.

    $13 sounds reasonable if it's in the case with instructions. If you like pinball games, AC is one of the best from the 16-bit era. At this point, you can't go wrong with either AC or LA2, so just choose whichever one now and get the other next paycheck (or whenever).

    Oh, and as for Sidearms, get ready: I'm a huge shooter fan, and Sidearms looks and plays fantastic, but it becomes tear-your-controller-in-half frustrating very quickly. Still, it's one of the finer games on the system, and a nice addition to any collection.
