Four little discussed #TurboGrafx / #PCEngine recommendations. Zipang - Get the wand and then make it to the door. Destroy and create blocks with a sword. Cratermaze - This is what if Lode Runner were top down, and it works! Gomola Speed - You're a ball that collects other balls and becomes a snake. Then snake around levels trying to solve them. Somer Assault - You're a little accordion thing that can climb walls and ceilings while shooting and exploring a level. #retrogaming

@robavince@mastodon.social Neat. I went on a bit of a Turbo kick when I got my MiSTer set up; it's a blind spot but what a neat little library. I'll bookmark these for later. But I'm thinking today's going to be a WSC day, because my Nileswan is supposed to finally come in the mail.

@robavince@mastodon.social Great list! I loved Crater Maze back in the day! IIRC it's actually a reskin of a Doraemon game. I love when you get fully powered up and you can throw down five or six holes in a line. It makes you feel unstoppable. Haha! I'm not sure what these types of games are called but it's definitely a genre. On the original game boy I used to have Boomer's Adventure in ASMIK World and it is the same type of game.
