RooIn this episode, we not only takes on an underappreciated game, he takes one on from an underappreciated console... that's meta. Roo warms up with a history of the TurboGrafx-16, which spawned innovative firsts in gaming - like the TurbGrafx-CD and TurboExpress. Then he goes on to review Ninja Spirit, a classic arcade port that isn't afraid to smack you around a little. You know, like in the good old days of gaming.

Awesome vid, Roo. Never owned a TG16 myself, but i wish i had the chance to try one out. Look forward to your next one.
Thanks shades. The sad thing is, I never owned one as a kid either. I caught up to some games later on in college, but looking back, it did have a lot of good stuff. And did you see the deal on the TurboDuo in that commercial? They were practically giving the thing away with a wagonfull of games!
They were desperate at that point. They were trying to stand up against the SNES and Genesis. Obviously, we know how that turned out. At least you've had a chance to experience it.
Another good video. Thanks.
I, nor anyone I knew, owned a turbografx-16 in my neighborhood or school.
A pity, really. We were missing out!
