The first time I set up my Duo in my new house, after not playing for
a while, I threw in the same game I always play first.

Aeroblasters.

This time I had planned to just see if my Kabuki den save files were
still intact. But sure enough, I was soon pulling out my Hu Card
binders and loading up classic games.

Anyways... the reason I always seem to play Aeroblasters first is its
one of the main games that really symbolizes the Turbografx for me.

Particularly my early days with it during its original run. When each
new game I bought was a major event and I played it nonstop for weeks-
months, completely mastering it.

Each time I fire up Aeroblasters its as impressive as the first time
I rented it shortly before receiving it as an X-Mas gift.

To me, it has equally perfect graphics, sound and gameplay, and all
very Turbo.

I've played Airbuster for Genesis/Megadrive several times and have
the arcade original in my MAME cabinet. But The Turbo version is
still my favorite(even taking into consideration it's technical
deficiencies).

There's just something about it.

Its like how the sounds of Ghosts N Goblins, Side Arms, and Wonderboy
define the feel of an Arcade(the place where coinops are) to me.

Once again I was just going to look at the first level for a bit.
Then I just wanted to see the beginning of the 2nd and here the music.

In the end I wound up making it to the fourth stage boss.

I'm proud to say that nearly all of my deaths were from off-screen
ships flying straight through me and not just bullets.

Anyone else have a special Turbo game that represents the system you
or you just find yourself coming back to time and time again?
