| | | Weird pinball game on a big rambling table. I don't mind big rambling tables in principle (see Flipnic, entry 319, for instance) but there just doesn't seem to be much point at all to this one, and for some reason they dressed it in an icky brown brick texture. All the cool stuff to activate is way at the top, so down at the bottom you just feel like you're wasting your time--especially when you hit that stupid chute to nowhere.
Now, if you activate certain switches and then get the ball into certain holes, you can wind up in little bonus levels ala Devil Crash (entry 545). These bonus levels are odd, and not necessarily in a fun way. Surprisingly, one has rotatable platforms rather than paddles, and you try to slant them so that the ball will roll down in to a certain chute to get an extra ball. This is kind of neat but they could have done much more with it.
Ball physics are solid with this caveat: the ball is way too bouncy, it's like a rubber ball rather than a steel one. It bounces all over the darn place and gives a feeling of skittery control. |

| | | | Actually when I said "cool stuff" I just meant the switches and wraps to the bonus worlds. I haven't found much else that's cool--this game could really use some nice combo ramps or something, but instead you just wander around this big, vapid level hitting buttons that don't do much most of the time. |

Time Cruise II (PC Engine) game HuCARD only. US Seller Tested Working
~~~
This is the game "Time Cruise II" for the Japanese PC Engine game system ("PCE"). Includes the actual game HuCARD only--none of the original packaging is included.
HuCARD only. The HuCARD is in excellent condition. I tested the HuCARD and it played with no problems.
Please note that this is the Japanese version of the game, requiring a Japanese PC Engine system for play; it will NOT play in a western TurboGrafx-16 system.
If the winning bid is $80 or more I will upgrade the shipping to USPS Priority Mail at no charge--the shipping will remain free, just faster.
Bids on this item do NOT require a payment method. |
