NEUTOPIA (Hudson Soft, 1990)If JJ and Jeff is the Super Mario Brothers clone for the Turbo then Neutopia is the Legend of Zelda edition. Can you save the princess from a evil demon (who cares about the names, eh?), you have to brave through a dangerous landscape and 8 dungeons first? Sure it may seem a lot like the first Zelda game on the NES but the more Zelda the better I say, plus this has slightly sharper graphics as well (although they look too impressive compared to other Turbografx games). Neutopia is an excellent adventure game that just lacks originality.

63 NEW ADVENTURE ISLAND (Hudson Soft, 1992)
I remember this popular series on the NES and it's cool to see it jump to the more powerful Turbo here. Surprisingly though not much has changed because in this action platformer you still play the island man with the big chin who must save his kidnapped bride from generic demons. Sadly, it won't be easy because one hit can kill you plus you also need to eat food as well or you still die just like the original Adventure Island. The game even has less features then some of the older NES games because there are no dinosaur buddies or weapon selects so the game feels a bit on the out dated side. New Adventure Island is anything but new however it is still fun to play.

78 NINJA SPIRIT (Irem, 1990)What if your shadow could help protect you in a fight? That's what happens in Ninja Gaiden II and Ninja Spirit here as well. The game's story here focuses on a young ninja named Moonlight and how he sees his father's death by a evil renegade ninja clan. Moonlight can not only use a list of some cool weapons like the triple ninja stars and dynamite sticks but you can also use up to two shadows of yourself to aid you in attack and defense. Ninja Spirit is a really short but very intense 4 meg action game with awesome looking weapons.

ORDYNE (Namco, 1990)Here is a strange two player cartoon-like shooter where two scientists race across the skies with the ability to buy weapons and other items in airshops. In the game you or a friend must survive all 7 levels to save your friend from a dangerous madman and his army. Ordyne is a fairly fun shoot em up similiar to Sega's Fantasy Zone but like that game this can be too easy and there is little to do once the adventure is completed. This game can be also found on Namco's 4th Museum title on Playstation called C as well.

75 PARASOL STARS (Working Designs/Taito, 1991)
Parasol Stars is a fun and chaotic sequel to Rainbow Islands as the human versions of Bob and Bub continue their adventures in a overly cute but still dangerous world. The two kids dropped the whole rainbow thing from the last game and are carrying umbrellas instead. The cool thing about these umbrellas is they can catch any of the loose bubbles and whip them at your enemies. The game has loads of power ups, secrets, and levels all with cartoon-like graphics and sounds. Parasol Stars is pretty weird and the action can get repetitive but this game so big that it's definitely worth a try.

This game is so easy to get into that even I was able to get a Hole in one in a rare moment. If you like the sport, Power Golf is a very smart buy.

PRINCE of PERISA (Hudson Soft/BroaderBund, 1992)*Super CD-ROM2 game
The personal computer favourite makes a surprise appearance on the Turbo's Super CD ROM machine and now Duo owners get a chance to play a classic thriller. The story here is actually fairly compelling because you were wrongfully imprisoned after falling in love with the beautiful princess of Perisa. After Minister Jaffar throws you in jail he offers the princess an ultimatum: marry him or be killed in a hour. You must escape from the underground dungeons and try and save your love before it's too late but it's going to be no easy task because this game is loaded with rogue guards and deadly traps. One of toughest games for the turbo because each room in this may spell your instant doom and not everybody will go crazy for the game's slow pace and lack of save points but if you like game's like Out of this World or Flash Back then this game is sure to please.

RAIDEN (Hudson Soft/Seibu Kaihatsu, 1993)The first and only 6 meg game for the Turbografx-16 is this extremely hard but popular arcade shooter where a lone ship defends the earth from a alien invasion. I love the different power ups here and the graphics and sounds are not too bad either but the only problem I have with the Turbo edition of Raiden is that it's one player only and I could sure use some help here. For example: that boat boss on level 3 alone is just way too cheap. If you love shooters Raiden is a good choice but I would have rated this higher if there was some kind of options menu and more modes.

25 RIOT ZONE (Hudson Soft/West One, 1992)
*Super CD-ROM2 game
Riot Zone is a really sad Final Fight clone where you control one of two losers on a mission to save one of the guy's kidnapped girlfriend from the Dragon Zone street gang. The game is simple and boring: you beat up wave after wave of the same generic bad guys over and over again until you make it to one of six bosses. Sadly, this is NOT a two player game for what ever reason. If that wasn't pathetic enough here are no weapons to pick up here either so the action gets very repetitive. OK, the controls are easy enough master but the backgrounds are not interactive (not even the players at the blackjack table care I'm beating up a half naked girl here), there is no voice acting, and worse of all the game is way too easy. If you are that desperate to play a Final Fight type game on your Turbo Duo you better get some help because you are pretty screwed up in the head.

R * TYPE (Irem, November 1989)Here is one tough as nails game but it's also one of the best shooters ever made too so don't be afraid to look this up. Each stage is totally different from one another and this the first game to use the Charge Beam weapon by holding down the fire button, a very cool idea! Unlike the Japanese PC Engine counterparts, this game has all 8 stages in it and is a complete 4 meg game too. What makes this shooter so different from the usual is that you have really study the stage carefully if want to survive. R * Type for the turbo is almost arcade perfect and that alone is worth recommendation!

43 SAMURAI GHOST (Namco, 1992)
Holy crap this game looks awesome..... at first! In this game you are a dead samurai ready to dish out some more carnage on your old enemies. What really stands out here is the graphics are pretty damn fine with huge sprite, parallax scrolling, and a great level of detail in both the characters and background. All this comes at a price though because your hero here is stiff as hell and he definitely takes some time to master his awkward swings and moves. This guy even jumps as though he's trying to prevent himself from crapping his pants. The music is not too bad and there some digital audio in the game as well but its terrible of course. Samurai Ghost may have some decent visuals here and there but the game's weak animation and constant cheap hits ruin this from being a must own.

I hate these types of action games and Shadow of the Beast is as sloppy as they get. The game may look like a million bucks in the still shots and has some good music as well here but is just way too hard, the cinemas don't look too impressive, and the animation of your enemies don't look like they work half the time either.

SHOCKMAN (NCS, 1992)The Turbografx has a lot of games that copy other hit titles from other systems so here is the Mega Man clone. Shockman is a 2D action shoot em up where you control one of two heroes with special cyborg powers. The problem is they don't want these powers and a sciencist can change them back into their original human form but as luck would have it he gets captured and now you have to rescue him if you ever wish to be normal again. Weird story or not the run and gun game is strictly average with no weapon power ups to be found and standard graphics (although colourful) will just bore players. I still had some fun here but Shockman just isn't anything new.

35 SILENT DEBUGGERS (Data East, 1991)
This game here is a rather unspectacular 3D corridor shooter on a system with no advance 3D hardware. Because of that don't expect to be blown away by these boring space station graphics and serious lack of music. The first few minutes of the game is a mission to find the exit of the station to get the monsters in the first place and yes, it's as boring as it sounds. I also knocked off about ten points for that stupid name as well. Silent Debuggers not only sounds stupid the game is not very compelling either.

Here is yet another good looking shooter on the Turbo with some decent music as well. Sadly, this game fails to gain any real ground because of the lack of true innovation and a rather useless charge attack as well. If that wasn't enough Sinistron also has a very high difficulty especially in the last 3 levels and you want to know the worse part about that: the ending in this one is really disappointing so going through this entire game is rather pointless. Sinistron could have been an excellent game if these problems were fixed but it's way too late for that now, eh?

SOLDIER BLADE (TTI/Hudson Soft/Red, 1992)This is a 4 meg Star Soldier spin off released close to the turbo's death. Soldier Blade was originally suppose to be called Super Star Soldier II but I guess TTI renamed the game because it wasn't as good. Don't get me wrong, Soldier Blade is a fairly good game for shooter fans thanks to furious arcade action but it's also nothing too original unfortunately and your list of weaponry isn't very impressive either. At least it has a Save option so you can record some of your high scores unlike in Blazing Lazers and Super Star Soldier plus this is a very rare game now of days too! Soldier Blade could not hold a candle to other shooters like Space Mega Force on the Super Nintendo though.

SUPER AIR ZONK (Hudson Soft, 1993)*Super CD-ROM2 game
It cost me 200 bucks but I finally got my hands on one of the rarest Turbo Duo games in existence. The game is Super Air Zonk and it is of course the only sequel to the big game I got a world record for. I'm a very happy man! So how is the game itself though? Well, Super Air Zonk is a lot like first game because you are still controlling a flying robotic Bonk-like dude that blasts away at the futurist King Drool army before they conquer the world. You can save one of seven new friends half way through each stage for help and extra firepower but I don't like how you don't have the option to pick which friend can actually help you in that stage so it feels more linear. Another thing I didn't like was how short the game was, there are only seven stages and they are not that hard to beat either (I was able to finish the entire game the second day I got it). That was Air Zonk's biggest problem; it was a solid shooter but it was too short and way too easy so Super Air Zonk just felt like a extension of that game with some slightly better music. As a collector Super Air Zonk is a great edition to my Turbo Duo set but as a player I am definitely disappointed with the easy difficulty, average graphics, and standard shooting action we all seen before. It's a shame but I can see why the Zonk series died after this mediocre game here.

The action is not only insane but it comes with great music and there are three cool weapons to choose from here too with multiple upgrades. This game most famous though for having some incredible looking backgrounds and enemies art by the acclaimed Tron artist Syd Mead. Sadly, the only things Terra Forming lacks is a Save feature and an in game story line but everything else here is absolutely top notch.

Tiger Road is hard to control, both the graphics and sounds are nothing special, plus most importantly the game isn't very fun to play.

The game play is very similar to the classic game Pipe Dreams but unlike that fun title in Timeball you are forced to slide around one annoying panel at a time and this gets incredibly frustrating especially when the clock is constantly ticking on you.

Sadly Time Cruise may appear to have a lot of game play elements here, the problem lies in the difficulty.

TV Sports Basketball has some OK graphics and all but not only is this not licensed by the NBA, the in-game action is very confusing to make out since the players are tiny so you can barely see when your players are going for a shot or a steal. Another strange thing about this game is that you can only play the game at the end of the courts. Even NBA Jam has full court play and that game is not suppose to be a simulation like this is suppose to be. TV Sports Basketball has to be one of the worst basketball games I have ever played!

First let's talk about the graphics, they look very chunky compared to Sega's popular Out Run and that game was already a few years old. Other then some familiar looks though, Victory Run has a different and interesting concept. The game play is very difficult because your car can receive damage in five areas and this vehicle must survive the drive down 8 tough levels, this is not your typical arcade style racer: Victory Run is more of a simulation. I'll give some points to Victory Run's originality.

Although you only have basic punches and kicks here, you can pick up some Nunchuncks to help you out on your deadly mission. Be awhere however that some your enemies can use weapons too and you can lose a lot life fast here.

Sadly, the game uses a long password system and the graphics and sounds are not too impressive either. I don't know what's the deal with the overly short skirts and panty shots of the females here (although some like it) but overall the controls are decent and most importantly there is just a lot to do here.

Because your bear is always on a skateboard the game is very difficult to control since it is hard to keep the stupid character still. The later levels are especially cheap with a lot of multiplying enemies all over the large areas and you are under the clock as well which just adds a few more swear words you would yell at this game. The game uses exclusive Beach Boy music but you are better off just getting rid of that scratchy stuff in the options menu because it didn't translate well. If you choose to pass on Yo Bro then you're missing nothing.
