Message: [QUOTE="Sayo, post: 6148, member: 342"] [ATTACH type="full" align="right" width="244px" alt="doubleshmup.jpg"]2216[/ATTACH] The concept behind this thread is quite simple, [I][B]one (or more) game(s) are chosen and you are all invited to play till completion[/B][/I] (or at least as far as you can) and we use this thread to discuss the game and anything relating to it. The deadline for this current thread is that of 14 days or two weeks, as two games have been chosen. These are both shmups and most STG tend to lean on the shorter side, with a bigger focus on score attack than completion for the mere sake of completion. [LIST] [*]A game is chosen (suggestions are encouraged) [*]It can be a game for any retro console or computer, if it's something like a modern port or decompilation that's okay too [*]Preferably lesser known titles instead of something everyone has already played [*]Play the game till completion or at least as far as you can get in the game [*]Use any means to play the game, be it emulation or real hardware [*]Links will be provided, preferably from ᏟDᏒ, if the game is not available there, I can curate it for CDR. [*]If you are using save states or similar, please be honest and disclose it [/LIST] For this second entry of Retro Game Club, we will be playing both Magical Chase and Coryoon, two cute 'em up titles for the PC Engine that boast colorful visuals and chipper tunes. Magical Chase in particular has some of the most spectacular visuals that the system ever featured and is worth looking into for that alone if anything, but it has some pretty polished gameplay to boot, easily ranking it among the best STG on the platform. As for Coryoon, I don't know much about it, I only played one stage from it once long ago and thought it felt and looked nice so I wanted to add it here as well. [LIST] [*][B]Magical Chase[/B] can be downloaded from ᏟDᏒ here [URL='https://ᏟDᏒ.org/turbografx-16/magical-chase-usa-japan/']Magical Chase (USA, Japan) TurboGrafx-16 ROM[/URL] (Both Japanese and US releases feature visual differences) [*][B]Coryoon[/B] can be downloaded from ᏟDᏒ here [URL='https://ᏟDᏒ.org/turbografx-16/coryoon-japan/']Coryoon (Japan) TurboGrafx-16 ROM[/URL] [/LIST] Neither of these titles gets talked about enough so I think this will make for a fun thread, shmups are pretty easy to get into and don't require nearly as much time investment as platformers so I have a good feeling about these picks.
