[starsoldier1]

@jayson4404 Very cutey look to the game.

This is a nice game, But man how do you beat the last boss.

The 6th blue thing is so fast!

[starsoldier1]

@123doomdoom Yeah, I hate that boss!

[francochan]

@starsoldier1: that's right!! Awesome!!

[francochan]

Great video! Hey, where is that song at the beginning of the video from again?

[starsoldier1]

@francochan Thanks, it's from Chrono Trigger.

Except for the great 2 player co-op, Ordyne still had plenty to learn from this game.

[starsoldier1]

@Nintendough I wish Ordyne had more of a weapon selection but I still liked it better then Fantasy Zone personally. Why did you like this one more?

[Nintendough]

@starsoldier1

Fantasy Zone had some good things going for it like...

* Ability to turn around & go where you want -- spend more time farming weapon-upgrade money.

* Shoot the bases, beat the bosses -- simple & makes it easy to plan for upcoming battles.

* I thought it had a bit smoother control in general than Ordyne.

* Upbeat boppy music preferable to Ordyne's surly drunken clown theme.

Overall I thought Fantasy Zone was less frustrating, but I do think Ordyne had more depth.

[starsoldier1]

@Nintendough Surly drunken clown theme? Heh heh, you make some good points there.

The Turbografx version looks better than the SMS and NES version.

[starsoldier1]

Definitely, the game looks almost identical to it's arcade counterpart.

[xgamer3000]

I'd give it a 78, cause you can move all around the screen. But yeah the weapons piss me off.

[starsoldier1]

The game can be a lot of fun yeah. I just hate how short it is.

[xgamer3000]

There are TONS of short classics out there!

Games like the first Prince of Persia, or Axeley.

[SpaceyAtariQueen]

game looks pretty

[starsoldier1]

Yeah, I gotta admit the game would make for a killer tattoo, eh? Thankya for the friend invite too.

[sinistermoon]

I have always liked this game. Addicting game play.

[halfassedreviewer]

i would say 50 out of a 100 is being generous, this really doesn't look like something i could get into. good review

[starsoldier1]

Yeah the game is pretty damn lame, but it did have a few shining moments of greatness since it did remind me of Defender.

[Noyjeetut]

Good review. Those graphics look pretty polished for the time.

[starsoldier1]

The Turbografx-16 version does look pretty damn good especially compared to the other versions.

[Brophog]

Does your voice sound tinny in this review, starsoldier?

[starsoldier1]

Yeah, I bit. I was too far away from the mic this time and there was no bear buzz either ya know.

[HrdCreGamer]

Nice vid dude.  I remember playing the NES version as a kid.

[starsoldier1]

Oh yeah, Tengen made that one, eh?
