Wow I had completely forgotten that this game even EXISTED! Such a killer game, has sort of an Edgar Rice Burroughs Lost World feel, which of course I LOVE!
hi ,I have a question you may be able to answer. I have just bought after looking for ages! a new boxed turbografx, up to the point it arrived I allways thought it was called the Turbogrfx-16? (as it is described all over the place) but no-where on the box is the ident "16" used? just "turbografx" any ideas? or other unfo? cheers
This was one of the best games of the 16-Bit days. Great color on the graphics and great music (especially for the TG), this needs to be remade or re released.
I so want someone to do a playthrough of this game and post it up.
Playing video games as a kid. There's certain games you just could not beat no matter how hard you tried, and yet your friends could. These were 'those' games. Those games that were so f*cking hard, they made you want to throw the controller at the TV.
This was one of them.
And one of the few of 'those' games I actually beat.
Yeah, I guess so. But I tell you the further you get in the game, the more advanced the future tracks sound...especially at the end of the game. In some way I thought the credits music kind of "foreshadowed" some of the quality sounding prowess that would be heard in SNES games in the 90's.
I don't think people realize how good TG-16 was or how many great games it had.

Ida know. Looks more like someone took Astyanax for the NES and gave it a major downgrade

Seems like you get a lot of hit points. At least until the eyeball boss.

I always love this game. I was like a alternate version of Astynax (Arcade) for me.

The overall game of the year in 89-according to EGM was "Ghouls N' Ghosts" for the Genesis, and I think legendary got it for the turbografix16.

Great old school game. This won Game of the Year by EGM in 1989. True story.
162sbombs 5 years ago
No, False.
Ghouls 'N Ghosts for Sega Genesis won EGM's Game of the Year for 1989.
Legendary Axe only won TurboGrafx-16 GOTY, but not overall best game of 1989 which was
Genesis Ghouls 'N Ghosts. I know because I have the magazine, EGM Number 5.
