Classic Game Room HD - TRUXTON for Sega Genesis Megadrive!

TRUXTON!! TRUXTON!! TRUXTON!! TRUXTON!! TRUXTON!! TRUXTON!! TRUXTON!! TRUXTON!! TRUXTON!! TRUXTON!! TRUXTON!! TRUXTON!! TRUXTON!! TRUXTON!! TRUXTON!! Classic Game Room was the FIRST classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999. Returning in 2008 with new episodes, Classic Game Room breaks out a review of TRUXTON for the Sega Genesis 16 bit video game console. Truxton on the Sega Genesis is an exciting shooter, one of the best on the Genesis according to some people. This game is a tough, vertical scrolling space shooter like Fire Shark in the depths of the universe. It is a video game in the SHMUP genre of classic games, and like many SHMUPS you collect power ups and fly around destroying waves of bad guys with laser beams, electro bolts of lightning and green things. Truxton is produced by TOAPLAN. Toaplan made many shooters by Toaplan like Fire Shark and always put a lot of care into their games. This version of Truxton is a US release, presumably this game originated from Japan and has a Japanese version. If you are in England or Europe or Brazil you'd play this game on the MEGA DRIVE (aka Megadrive) and rock the MD with some serious Truxton action. Truxton sounds like a 1980's hair band right up there with Trixter, Winger, Bullet Boys, Slaughter, Skid Row, Warrant and Cinderella. That gypsey road can take me home all the way to an awesome game of TRUXTON!!!!!! TRUXTON!!!!!! Available on LP record (aka vinyl) and possibly demo cassette or 8-track, but certainly not on CD. TRUXTON featuring Edit-Station 1 and the Wind Squid dancers in the house. Check out the gameplay footage of TRUXTON rocking to TRUXTONNNNNN!!!! Will this game be re-released with updated graphics on the Xbox 360 XBLA game console or PS3 or Wii Virtual Console or Nintendo DS or Sony PSP or handheld thingamagig? Truxton is also the fictional name of a 1980's Hair Metal Heavy Metal band!!! The best Heavy Metal LP ever! Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The reviews on the HD series are reviewing PS3, PS2, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360. XBLA. videos review reviews show

needs more truxton

@shadowhexogram You're basically right. But I think that Vectrex was good in 1982. Gaming standards were lower then. And Truxton is a good game, just a fairly uninspired and mediocre one.  It's not one of the better Genesis SHUMPs, but it's still a 6 or 7 out of 10. Cosmic Carnage is truly horrible even for its time. It's entertaining in the same way as the Power Rangers FMV game for Sega CD. It's so bad; its good. Objectively, it deserves perhaps a 3/10.

@EkajTheSwordsman I watched his Cosmic Carnage review and from what I got from it is that he liked it but he knew it technically wasn't a good game. It's possible to be somewhat objective when talking about a subject you enjoy I would think it a vital trait for a reviewer. I mean truxton is just another shoot em up and vectrex is a really mediocre console but mark enjoys them so it's fun to play along but really. None of those games are really very good.

[EkajTheSwordsman]

@shadowhexogram Well, if you watch his Cosmic Carnage review, he calls it "a bad game" several times. You'd have to be pretty clueless to not understand that he doesn't really reccommend CC that highly, he just thinks it has some cheesy nostalgic value as one of the worst games ever published by SEGA. However, I think that Truxton and Vectrex really are things he would reccommend to retro gamers, kidding aside.

@EkajTheSwordsman disagree, imo this game is right up there with the best genesis shmups

[shadowhexogram]

@mrbassman25 Well technically mark is still living in the 80s so they all did die assuming they the ones that didn't are currently still living in the 80s.

[shadowhexogram]

Truxton, cosmic carnage, and vextrex are like running gag recommendations for classic game room. They probably have some real nostalgic value to mark but mentioning them in odd places just seems to annoy people who think mark is being serious when he makes those comparisons like saying cosmic carnage is better than ocarina of time.

[EkajTheSwordsman]

Fun game, but definitely not up there with the best Genesis SHUMPs like MUSHA, Gaiares, and Thunder Force.

Mark, did you happen to be high when you made this?
