Eh, the TG-16 overstated its prowess a little bit but at the same time, the games *did* look better than your typical 8-bit game. It wasn't full blown SNES-teir 16 bits but it was impressive at the time.

>>12565631
The games didn't really start looking 16bit until the cd add on, in my opinion. Legend of Xanadu looks comparable to an snes game for example.

>>12565275
it has 2 16 bit graphics chips, that's actually how you get to the 512 color palette.

>>12565631
PCE could come to close to the SNES, just goes to show that 512 colors was sort of enough. I think the resolution is a bit higher or something too.

"The Treasure game history is a rich tapestry. But, since we're all gonna die, there's one more secret I feel I have to share with you: I did not care for Radiant Silvergun."
"What?"
"Did not care for Radiant Silvergun."
"How can you even say that, Anon?"
"Didn't like it."
"Anon, it's like the perfect game!"
"This is what everyone always said. Whenever they say..."
"Hiroshi Iuchi, Hitoshi Sakimoto, I mean, you never see, Studio Gonzo!"
"Fine. Fine. Fine team, did not like the game."
"Why not?"
"Did not... Couldn't get into it."
"What didn't you like about it?"
"It insists upon itself."
"What?"
"It insists upon itself."
"What does that even mean?"
"Because it has a valid point to make, it's insisted!"
"It takes forever memorizing the scoring route; you spend like six and a half hours on Stage 3... You know, I can't get through, I've never even finished the game. I've never seen the ending."
"You've never seen the ending?!"
"How can you say you don't like it if you haven't even given it a chance?"
"I agree. It's not really fair."
"It's outrageous."
"I have tried on three separate occasions to get through it, and I get to Stage 5."
"Yeah, it's a great stage. I love that stage."
"I have no idea what they're talking about. It's like they're speaking a different lang... You know, that's where I lose interest in it."
"You know what, Anon..."
"They're speaking Japanese!"
"The language they're speaking is a language of subtlety; something you don't understand."
"I love Cotton Boomerang. That is my answer to that statement."
"Exactly."
"Well, there you go."
"Whatever."
"I like that game too."

This game is fucking ass, it manages to be both too easy and annoying/cheap at the same time, mainly because nothing happens and then suddenly some bullshit hits you from close range at a reasonably quick speed. Then if you die you're way too slow and just completely fucked. I really wanted to like this game but I couldn't, 1CC'd it and never played again.

>>12566603
Also it revolves around using the Arrow Flash mechanic way too much instead of actually being a shmup. Basically all the bosses will just go down after a few Arrow Flashes.

>>12566575
Heh that "cutscene" on level 1 where you have to wait for the spaceship to crash.

>>12563982
So, you don't enjoy Solider Blade?

What about Final Soldier or Super Star Soldier? Final Soldier is good.

>>12566646
Not OP but I would rank them SB > Blazing Lazers > SSS > FS. All of them are good.
