"Puyo Puyo" FM Towns II

[Laripper10]

You are very untidy!! good video

[Amisbro]

Ooooh this looks like the game that became "Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine" and that's a good(albeit hard) game!

[tomatzu]

That's a really nice looking port! The music is pretty cool for something that outputs GM-standard music. I'm an huge fan of the series and have been for 16 years, but had to pass this one due to a lack of an FM Towns Marty when I saw it on eBay. Graphics are clean and crisp. Great find!

Puyo 1 was ported on pretty much everything, as was Puyo 2. Compile were crazy with those games but they proved to be the most popular franchise they made until they filed for bankruptcy in 2001.

Interesting that CRI not only ported SEGA arcade games on that system, but they also ported Puyo Puyo as well.

[lukemorse1]

Yeah, with Puyo Puyo, that game has been poorted over soo many systems it's insaine. I like to think of Puyo Puyo as the "Village Bicycle" so to speak XD

[Progearspec]

Neat now are the games cheap,or expensive compare to the marty luke ?

[lukemorse1]

Cheaper than the marty and a bit easier to find but depending on the game can still cost well over $60 per title

[deadpixelsHPP]

Awesome! Puyo is great. Cool to see you've got an FM Towns Marty. I'd love to get ahold of one along with Splatterhouse.

Great vid.

Kinda looks like that sonic puzzle game. Pretty neat. Good review

[lukemorse1]

Thanks a lot man!

[darkangelsv1]

@residentvania It's because it is.

hey luke, i know you have some knowledge on arcade machines and stuff,i so while we are in the puzzle talk, do you know exist an Arcade of Panel de Pon? thanks for your vids

[lukemorse1]

Interesting that you would mention that. I'm getting "Puzzle De Pon!" for my Neo-Geo MVS probably tomorrow and was going to make a vid on it :P

[Padoca85]

wow, great, im looking forward your video ^^

[Lachlant1984]

It's interesting to notice that when you first turn the system on, the refresh rate of the screen plays havoc with the camera, but you don't see any horizontal lines during actual game play, the screen must be using a very high refresh rate that doesn't play havoc with the camera. I love the music in this game.

[lukemorse1]

Interesting observation. I think you might be right on that  but it is a truly amazing machine for sure!

[DantePeeks]

dude, you way to laugh is just dirty xD

[lukemorse1]

The way I've been thinking recently is pretty dirty as well

[ivanelmasterzx]

that game rules, i like it, but i hate when they say that is for girls!

[lukemorse1]

Lol, It's good for everyone!

[therealAgerbon]

when the jelly booped on her head that did it for me lol

[ultrakupra]

omg that is some powerful game system man!

[lukemorse1]

Yeah, she packs a punch XD

[SAGAIA2]

Great game! PC Engine CD is the best version though.

[greacelightning72]

yo its a rip off the mean bean machine

[SAGAIA2]

No this is the original Japanese version. The US one has characters from the Sonic cartoon for Genesis and Kirby characters for SNES (Kirby's Avalanche).

[greacelightning72]

oh right ok lol i apoligize lol

[TanukiKGA]

I never understood the thing they did when they ported this to the megadrive, the entire "Robotnics mean bean machine". I mean, I guess that it would sell better 'cause of the sonic-relation made, but.. still. That was just weird ^^ I got one of the later Puyo games as one of the first games for my saturn, I played the heck out of it!
