Message: [QUOTE="Sayo, post: 19624, member: 342"] [IMG align="right" width="247px" size="600x1000"]https://retrogametalk.com/repository/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/28320_front.jpg[/IMG] 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 day given that the holiday season is right around the corner and people might have less time to play. [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 RetroGameTalk, if the game is not available here, I can 'curate' it for the site. [*]If you are using save states or similar, please be honest and disclose it. It's fine to use any means to clear the game but try giving yourself a challenge first. [/LIST] For this fifth entry we will be playing an awfully underrated Mega Drive shooting game known as [B]Twinkle Tale[/B], as suggested by our fellow RGT poster [USER=3864]@ATenderLad[/USER] This is a game that flew under everyone's radar back when it came out and has struggled to gain any notoriety even in the years since, it's a cute 'em up not unlike the Cotton series but with a top-down view, similar to titles like [I]Ikari Warriors[/I], certain stages of the [I]Contra[/I] series or Square's [I]King's Knight. [/I]An immediate standout point for the game is its fantastic soundtrack that does some great use of the Mega Drive's FM capabilities, another thing you'll notice is its brisk pace and challenge, although nothing particularly out of the ordinary for its time, you are also welcome to choose any difficulty setting to play with if challenge is a point of contention.
