So you've got minus two current gen games????

Haha thats me being dozy having just woken up.

Yay! MD delivery day! Finally getting gynoug makes me a happy man, love that game. The thunderblade isn't great condition, but was worth the gamble for a pound odd. Had to replace the Asian sonic 2 with a Jap one, it was annoying me!

Chiki Chiki Boys!

Ooh, Leynos. Do your Thunder Forces have the punch holes in the manuals, then?

[Colin]

Thunderforce II does, as expected. I did get herzog zwei this week as well, with punch holes................and unfortunately: sun fading, bad sticker peel, crappy condition box......

[Goemon]

Wow, after like 20 years of calling it Guy-noug I've just read the Katakana on the box and it's pronounced Ji-nou-gu

You learn something new every day!

[Baseley09]

I'm still gonna call it guoi nog.

[Colin]

I've always called it "Jai-noog".

[moonwhistle]

I adore Gynoug, however it's pronounced. I'm gonna stick to g-noog.

It has incredible music like the rest the ncs-masaya megadrive games. I find it odd that this along with other more odd shooters got a western release while the sumptuous yet more broadly appealing Gleylancer got ignored. It's a shame, it would have sold very well.

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

I've always pronounced it gee-noog.

Quality game though, must really get back into the MD at some point. Or I could just emulate it up.

[speedlolita]

I call it "Guy-noog". One of the shmups I got when I decided to buy a few PAL titles for my MD. Not a bad little game.

Let the GBA lovin' begin!

Indy + Poodle? Whut?

[Mayhem]

Tower & Shaft Advance? That's just snigger worthy to begin with... having read up on it, sounds interesting... Indiana Jones will make you jump jump jump jump...!

[Corranga]

It was the interesting sounding bit that caught me - and the Indiana Jones rip look

I started off looking for a nice little something to stick in my GB micro, I wanted something with retro simplicity as a parallel to playing Fable 3 at the moment.

Tower is the simplest of simple. Fake Indiana Jones dude runs constantly, turns around at the screen boundaries, and jumps when you press a. Holding a = jumping higher. Fall off the bottom of the upward scrolling screen and die. It's actually kinda hard...

Shaft is all about left and right. The screen scrolls down and you have to run off the edges of platforms and land on new ones. Game over when the spikes at the top get you, or you leap down and don't land on a platform. I'm preferring this. It has that Mr. Driller-esque panic to it as you look frantically for the next platform (rather than air canister) though it's not Mr D good. Maybe I should have bought Mr. Driller for GBA...

Twisted! doesn't really work too well in the GBMicro due to the offset cart slot, and mega large cart, or i'm looking for an excuse to buy an AGS-101 again...
