The ADDAMS FAMILY (Icom, 1991)*Turbografx-16 CD game
I remember all the hype surrounding this game before it was released since the big Hollywood movie was making some news back then. Sadly, the game didn't really make players rush out to the stores and get the Turbo CD and after playing it I can see why. In the game you play as the unlikeable lawyer character Tully looking to survive the many dangers in the haunted Addams Family house. Each room in the mansion has its own set of challenges like avoiding toys to fighting these wacky residents one on one. The graphics are nothing special and one room even has a NES console in the background (the arch rival of the Turbografx) but they're clean at least with some nice detail in the backgrounds. As for the game itself the action is fast and intense at times plus the game can get fairly challenging too but the simple jump and shoot game play does get very tedious and even cheap. Fortunately, The Addams Family has some very good music (it even has the original show's theme here too) with some decent sound effects and voice acting too. The Addams Family is nothing you haven't played in a million other platformers but the creepy visuals and eerie sounds help it to be above average.

83 AERO BLASTERS (Hudson soft/Interstate/Kaneko, 1991)This cool game here is a great arcade translation of an awesome shoot em up that's packed with fast action, cool music, and great graphics. Aero Blasters is a very tough game with only 5 continues and 6 long stages to master plus in each stage there are loads of on screen enemies and mini-bosses to fight along the way. There are times when the game can be a little too difficult and a great example of this is the stage 5 mini boss where the creature fires a evil set of five way shots at rapid speeds that are nearly impossible to avoid especially with the more floaty controls used in the space stages. Although it's difficult, Aero Blasters still comes recommend for shooter freaks.

AIR ZONK (TTI/Hudson Soft/Red, 1993)This is one crazy and action packed shooting game with cartoon like graphics and lots of strange characters like a dog and a giant missile as your friends. You're Zonk, a super cyborg send by Bonk himself to stop the King Drool of the future. Unfortunately it's a really short game with only 5 levels and unlimited continues as well. I AM THE WORLD'S BEST AIR ZONK PLAYER!! I was in EGM #45 and I got the score of 30, 332, 430 (Top score) See it at Twingalaxies and search for AIR ZONK and search for AIR ZONK

Alien Crush is a cool looking pinball game on a unique all alien game table plus there are 4 secret bonus areas to find for even bigger points here. Alien Crush may be superior to those NES pinball titles but the awkward two split screen action here may drive some people crazy since it doesn't feel very realistic. Devil's Crush was the semi sequel to this game by the way and many agree that it was the superior pinball game but this one is still pretty good.

60 ANDRE PANZA KICK BOXING (Loriciel, 1991)I don't know who Andre Panza is (and be honest you didn't know him either) but his game isn't too bad (although it isn't too good either). This is your basic one on one fighting game where you try to beat the crap out of your opponent with wide range of legal striking techniques. That's no big surprise but what this game does offer is some stunning graphics with great use of lighting and good animation plus the game even has good enough sound effects to make other Turbografx games jealous. Although there is a lot detail here, the backgrounds also look flat with not a lot going on and there isn't too much for music either. What really kills Andre Panza Kick Boxing here is all the spotty hit detection. I just seen way too many moves like spinning roundhouse kicks just go right through the characters for my liking. Fighting fans may like it but Street Fighter II just beats this up and steals its lunch money at the same time.

26 BALLISTIX (Accolade, 1991)
Oh great, it's another one of those futurist sports title we don't need (also look at Bill Lambert's Combat Basketball and those Mutant League games). In Ballistix the game is basically a game of Pong but you have to throw other balls in the arena to help guide the main ball into your rivals net. It was interesting concept but throwing all the these extra balls around only doesn't do too much and the whole thing gets way too confusing. Don't buy this game.

36 BATTLE ROYALE (Incredible Technologies, 1990)What could be more fun then knocking a muscle head over the top rope of a ring? Wait a minute, how come this really sucks then!? In Battle Royale you get to pick from one of five generic screw ball wrestlers and you mash away at the buttons in hopes of throwing them out of the ring. Unlike other fun wrestling games there are no susplexes, no top rope dives, no holds what so ever. Some of the ring girls look cool here but the graphics are choppy and way too cartoon-like to be taken seriously and the low key music doesn't help you get into the repetitive action. The basic game play just involves you to strike away and hope you win and after you played it for a bit you'll then quickly turn off the system to play something better.

This game is loaded with firepower and 9 huge levels, but the thing holding it back is that it's just way too easy for a shooter and can be easily finished the same day or week.

BLOODY WOLF (Data East, 1991)Bloody Wolf is very similar to Konami's Contra but this action run and gun game features some up close knife combat and an actual story line as well. In the game you are on a mission behind enemy line so you can save the President from an army of terrorists. Believe it or not that's only half the game. The game has some fairly detailed graphics and there are lots power ups to find as well. Sadly there is no two player mode and the action can be a little slow at times too so Bloody Wolf won't please everyone.

The single player game is really tedious to play and if you hated the dull original NES game then this game is hardly any different. The new multiple player mode though is a much different story because you and a bunch of friends can try and blow one another up in a frenzy of bombs. Bomberman is a must if you have a Turbo Tap and some extra pads plus you can also find this game on the Gate of Thunder disc if you know the secret code.

BOMBERMAN '93 (Hudson Soft, March 1993)The 1993 edition of everyone's favourite bomb expert may feature some of the weakest graphics for a game released that year but you still get some amazing party mayhem that highlight this awesome version of Bomberman. In it you get an excellent multi-player in the battle mode with 10 different levels to try out and you even try out a new Kick power up where you can get bombs out of your face in a hurry. The one player mode is improved over the original and it's a good way to eat up some time but it is still a little dry though since the action starts out very slowly thanks to the small flames. Bomberman 93 is an awesome party game to have and you can finally put that old Turbo Tap to good use.

Bomberman 94 also has a much better playing single player adventure so the action doesn't always drag on as much. The multi-player game is just as crazy as ever because you play in teams and you can even change your bomberman type so you can be old, young, fat, punk, and more.

82 BONK'S ADVENTURE (Hudson Soft/Red, June 1990)Bonk is a very fun action game featuring everyone's favourite head-butting caveman who is trying to save Princess Za and her homeland too. Bonk must fight his way through your typical video game stages like ice worlds and underwater levels but then the game throws in a few strange challenges at you like going inside a giant dinosaur itself. The only real problem with I have with Bonk's Adventure is that it was far too easy and it only comes with only 5 levels. Sure, it's a great game for the kids and the casual player but the pro gamers will be done with this game in a few days or even hours, no problem.

Although the controls are not as tight as the first game, it also makes it a tougher, more challenging quest for Bonk this time around. In the game you can now fly, change into a crab and if you collect 50 smiley's or higher on a level then when you beat the boss you will warp pass one whole level which makes going to the bonus levels worthwhile. Definitely an above average action game for the turbo.

BONK III: Bonk's Big Adventure (TTI/Hudson Soft/Red, June 30, 1993)This huge 8 meg Bonk game looks great and has some very exciting new features like candy power ups that alter your size. Sadly, this game fails to be as good the last two bonk games because of the 7 easy levels, bad music, and boring exploring. The huge and small Bonk power-ups really makes no real sense in this game either too especially since you lose these abilities after taking just one hit. Maybe I can see how the little Bonk can help by going into small tunnels but the big Bonk doesn't really do anything special. It just looks kind of cool I guess. Despite that, it's a very unique action game because of the two player option and this was the last Turbografx-16 HuCard game ever release so you better not miss it if you're a collector.

Boxy Boy is a very simple box moving puzzle game by design so the graphics and sounds are duller then most Acclaim games but the challenge factor makes it a very addictive puzzler as well.

BRAVOMAN (Namco, 1990)Super heroes and video games should go hand and hand so a game like Bravoman should be a stand out title but there are definitely a few things holding it back. This weird looking game is about a hero with the ability to use long limbs to strike his foes down and he is going to need all the power he has to stop his nemesis Dr. Bomb and his many minions. The game is a little on the hard side since there are 22 levels plus why there is only one life per every continue? Bravoman also has some of the worst voices in a video game and that alone may drive a lot gamers away. Bravoman is not only a cookie cutter hero but his game is chunky and horrible.

Also it's a shame that there are only five short levels here and it should only take a few hours to finish the whole adventure. The game was still a lot of fun to play and the two player support and four different heroes was impressive too. This game is also for the Sega Genesis, but this version plays better. If you can find it Cadash is worth getting as long if it isn't too expensive.

45 CHASE H.Q. (Taito, 1992)
Here's a driving game that has a cool idea to play as a couple of cops that chase down wanted criminals. The game starts off pretty well with some decent digital voices and a good description of the car you have to track down but then the actual driving game starts and that's where things start to fall apart. Chase HQ is really nothing more but a early Pole Position/Out Run style racer with this whole chase the crook thing tracked on so they don't get sued from other companies. The game comes with out dated visuals, poor music, and bad controls that will have you cursing at the TV. Imagine crashing in to the many other innocent but dumb drivers on the road while you constantly slow down and lose the jerk you're trying to hunt down here. Once you learn the game and avoid these other morons it isn't a long game since there is only 5 levels of the same old crap over and over. The game play sounds cool but the end result will just overly frustrate casual players.

The game is filled with hundreds of levels and it even supports two players at once so there is a lot of replay value here.

CHINA WARRIOR (Hudson Soft, 1989)China Warrior is a very limited side scrolling beat em up starring some fighter who looks very similar to Bruce Lee. The characters are quite huge and even fairly detailed as well as some of them fill up nearly a quarter of the screen but of course, they are also very stiff looking in the process so there's a trade off. Another problem with this game is the constant looping music which doesn't even change when you enter a new set of levels. China Warrior was only created to show off the Turbo Grafx-16 graphical abilities, because the game play is laughable when compared to a real fighting game like Double Dragon.

*Turbografx-16 CD game
Although I heard this series was popular in Japan, gamers in North America only got this part of the Cosmic Fantasy collection. That's a shame because this is a pretty good role playing game. In the adventure you control a young man that must defend his town from aggressive invaders who are adducting women. You and your friends must then go on a long quest to find your kidnapped girlfriend before it is too late. Over the course of the game you'll gain experience and new equipment to improve your characters just like in any other RPG. Although it cool to have another CD RPG on the Turbo, it also has a lot of slow loading times and these also effect the many annoying random battle scenes through out the game. If you like your role playing games with lots of battles and colourful characters then Cosmic Fantasy 2 is a solid find.

There are a sh*&load of levels here where you collect power ups and dig holes to trap enemies (who are apparently all Christian because they leave crosses once killed here) but they really don't change too much from one stage to the next kind of like Bomberman.

Cyber Core starts off well enough with some fast arcade bug killing action here and there. In the game you move around a bug that can shoot enemies from the air and the ground just like a lot of other vertical scrolling shooters like Xevious and Dragon Spirit. Some of the cool features of the title is the ability to take multiple hits (although not much) thanks to a lot of the different power ups and even the graphics are fairly colourful as well but what really destroys Cyber Core is that it's way WAY too difficult. A lot of the insanely hard bosses here for example need to be killed off by you wimpy short range bombs instead of your long range air shots plus your weapons reset back to there lower levels if you pick another colour by accident. "How dumb is that?" Cyber Core is just another boring shooter anyway, so it's best to avoid this typical yet very frustrating game.

The problem is the game just takes itself wat too seriously thanks to a high learning curve and insanely difficult computer opponents.

The game starts off quite good because the action is fast paced and there are power ups are all over the place as well. The graphics and sounds are not too bad either too with colourful enemies and decent music but the backgrounds do repeat often and the sound effects are nothing special either. Dead Moon is also a bit too easy once you get fully powered up so don't expect to be challenged like in other shooters Aero Blasters or R Type. The game is fun to play but you can do better.

Anyway, if your a CastleVania fan especially of the acclaimed Symphony of the Night then you're looking at the official prequel here. Richter doesn't have all the moves he had in SOTN so you have a much tougher game now which is both good and bad but what really makes this game so unique is that you can play a very cute Maria complete with a different set of moves. This game is filled highly detailed and colourful enemies, the remixed music is impressive, plus the secret paths mixed in the classic CastleVania action makes this an overall excellent title.

There are only 45 levels here and that may sound like a lot but you'll breeze through these simple stages in no time flat.
