Not a turbo grafx game, but I really have to recommend checking out
zanacxzanac for anyone who likes traditional 2D shooters (blazing
lasers, etc...). It's a PSOne import. It runs about $50 from importers,
$40 if you can buy from a store in japan. I just got it in the mail
yesterday from www.tronixweb.com. It arrived two or three days after I
ordered it. I didn't think I would find a shooter I liked better than
the ones for the turbo grafx, but I think I've found one. Great music
and excellent detail and effects. The team from Compile did a great job
of combining distinctive Zanac themes with modern graphics and effects.
It's really amazing; it's been a long time since I was this excited
about a game (if ever). This version has a difficulty setting you can
change, and two players can play at once. You can also choose between
three ships. It also includes an original version of Zanac from 1986.
Screen shots can be seen at www.zanacxzanac.com.
They've also come out with a copy of Zanac for the palm pilot, which
runs $12. It's just a software download though.
I'm assuming this is the only 2D shooter for the PSOne, but if anyone
knows of others (imports or domestic), please let me know.
