I just decided to fire up Keith Courage in an emulator and give it a go, since I haven't played it since I bought my Turbo back in the day. It's not as terrible as I remember. I thought it was fairly boring back then, but of course I didn't know at the time it was a licensed anime game that had a graphics facelift for the US market. Honestly, I cannot fathom why they chose it as a pack-in. Legendary Axe would have been much better. I guess they wanted something more distinctive to act as a mascot, but Keith Courage definitely wasn't it.

It's a shame that there's no TurboGrafx-16 or PC Engine USB controller made for emulation. Most major systems have gotten the USB nostalgia joypad treatment. I'm using a Famicom-style Japanese controller for two-button games, but I'd love to have a PC Engine one, especially if it was modeled after one of those great 6-button third-party controllers.
