Watching this video reminds me of one thing. The turbografx was to video game music what fire was to the caveman.

One thing that has confused me. I was pretty sure the TGFX16 was meant to be competition for the SNES and Genesis. And you compare old NES games to Ys, but the CD-Rom definitely came later, after the 16 bit revolution. In fact it was one of the complaints of the TGFX, that it wasn't true 16bit. So most of these games competed with Phantasy Star, Arcus Odyssey, the SNES version of Zelda, etc. I know the Ys games were released in 91 and later, same time as the SNES and Genesis.

Agreed

To this day Ys is still my favorite game of all time. It may not be superior to the Final Fantasy games of today, but it's still the better game. I was bitter 4 and 5 never came to the states.
I recall hearing about a game called Ys 4: Wizards of Ys for the SNES. Does anyone else remember hearing about this?

COOL

I know I'm a bit late, but how is the Virtual Console versions of these games?

I love Falcom and all their JRPGs. Because of them, we got to play this incredible RPG on the Wii VC today.

I got this on the wii today and I'm having a blast with this game!
It's funny how you used Alan Thicke... I remember waiting day after day for ups to deliver my turbo cd and Ys...my mom always had Growing Pains on at night. But man what a beautiful summer's day it was when I hooked that baby up in stereo. Watching the Ys intro at 12 years old for the first time will always be a favorite memory.

Ys Book 1 & II+Alan Thicke
How can you not like that?
On a serious note the TG-16 version of Ys Book I&II is the definitive version
