Retro Hour! WEEK 138! Cumberdanes to Pick!

Gutted I wasn't in for this, watching the youtube archive and man this game :wub:

Still looks, sounds and plays amazingly all these years later

I enjoyed it, but it isn't as good as Gunstar Heroes imo. Still pretty good though. It's odd that Green, Pink, Orange, Grey are all from the first game, but Blue, Red and Yellow are different characters.

Yeah, it's a weird sequel in how it's a retelling of the first in many ways, yet wildly different in others.

Also, erm...if you ever play it again, try pressing the shoulder buttons during play

Can change weapons/aim in one direction while moving in another, plus I think pressing both gives you a meter charged blast attack of sorts.

Yeah, I noticed the weopan changing, but thought the starter weapon was best. Didn't know about the other stuff though.

Ha, fair play sir you went digging far for oddities for that list!

I suggest folks look up Gekisha Boy, might be worth it to see how Pedz reacts to it...

Gonna have to postpone this until tomorrow, recording a Post-mortem with cheeky at 7:30. Sorry guys.

The poll can run until 7pm tomorrow to.

That is spectacularly odd! Great stuff but, even so, I went for PC Kid... BC Kid... BONK! :toot:

Jawa ruining everything again

Sorry I didn't stream. I had to kid to Piano and then have food and stuff. I will do it tomorrow though if there are people who want it, or I can leave it until next week??

You might as well restart the poll and leave it to next Monday as only 3 people voted

Will do, but errr how do I reset the poll?

OK, I have reset the poll like Hypes ask and it is now going to continue to run until next Monday, where Retro Monday will live once again.

Some info on the PC Engine games, so people know what they're voting for

Seirei Senshi Spriggan
This mecha-based vertically scrolling shoot-’em-up is as slick as they come. Blisteringly fast and packed to bursting point with stupefying detail.

Gekisha Boy
One of the most novel and innovative PC Engine titles. Photo Boy is a budding paparazzo tasked with taking compelling shots throughout several different environments. Using the on-screen crosshair, you must take snaps of various objects and events while avoiding obstacles along the way.

PC Kid
Sega had Sonic. Nintendo had Mario. NEC had PC Kid, or Bonk as he was known In the US. A cave boy with a penchant for head-butting things.

Re-ruined. PC Kid / BC Kid / Bonk again 8-)

Nicely descriptive and clear in your thoughts on the game, kudos sir :toot:

Awesome to see you really liked it. The average quality of games I've submitted to the stream is slowly rising to redeemable :'D
