If people do get it for review that would be awesome to see what people think of it and once it gets into the hands of modders, then that's when the fun begins! Terra Cresta II. Terraforming (CD) The NewZealand Story. Albeit still utilizing a 8-bit CPU. Originally intended to 'beat' the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), it ended up.

You can't pump out more shots at a time than the game will let you, it makes the fire rate pretty constant. I actually like how this game treats quick firing, although no doubt it'd be frustrating to people who want to point-blank.Doh, I finally started using the secondary attacksThe good part of that is that I got through a whole slew of bosses I'd never seen before on my first try, including the one with all the sickles and rocket hands (heh, reminds me of an old 80s scifi movie.)I really had never appreciated how much like Ninja Emaki this is, lovely. Got to hunt down the board now. Already sorting it! Sorry I hadn't done this earlier, but as soon it became apparent in the few post above, it was clear they need to be split.doing it now.EDIT: Done it, or at least for now. So we have some new members in new top-spots! Until I get a chance to look into it, for now I'm keeping PS2 with MAME and PCB.

I've only played a couple of credits on PS2; it felt close enough, but the aspect ratio is crazy different.And thanks for all your efforts with getting this thread 'on the level'. I'm glad to have it split properly, and glad to hear Ed's news on Autofire; that makes like easier.Now for some more playing please! I'm off to Russia on a work trip for a few days, but once I return I'll try and get myself playing the NES or C64 versions.Updated!

But more importantly, together you’ll have to find the answer to the big question: why have the characters of old school video games suddenly turned evil?AMAZING FEATURES:- Awesome old school pixel graphics- Awesome levels- Awesome bosses- Awesome 8-bit music- The nineties called, they want their awesomeness back! Help him get through challenging levels, beat various bosses, learn new skills, and find the villain behind the abduction of young women. The protagonist ends up in the world of 8-bit video games. Pixel devil and the broken cartridge printer driver. Pixel Devil and the Broken Cartridge is an old school pixel art platformer.

Terra Cresta will forever be known as “that one shooter that lets you turn into a dragon and be invincible and stuff. That was cool.” Turning into a dragon and running amok in any game is a win, particularly if said game is a brutal, claustrophobic shmup. Pity your poor un-upgraded ship, as it spews at legions of vibrating orbs with a double peashooter! Rejoice as it collects upgrades and turns his ship from a class Z dropout into a class AAA bullet tycoon! Mourn the loss of your upgrades once your ship is hit by a whizbang projectile that came out of nowhere and everywhere ’cause you can’t turn your back without running into a stupid orb or a stone dinosaur.

Much like Gradius or any other mid-80s shmup that went for broke, losing your upgrades in the middle of an advanced level will see you killed faster than a mob snitch. And Terra Cresta pauses for no man.

The stages bleed into each other. Bosses come and go. If you kill them, enjoy your points and the obligatory extra life. Otherwise, they’ll retreat, robbing you of time, bullets, and dignity. Yes, in Terra Cresta, for approximately thirty beautiful seconds (and only if you collect all five upgrades), your ship transforms into a flaming dragon.

And you can go forth and wreak havoc upon the orb community, and it will refresh your opinion of the game. But without the dragon and the upgrades, Terra Cresta is a bite-your-fist difficult shmup that teeters on mediocrity. Your mileage will vary.
