NintendoComplete | Darkwing Duck (TurboGrafx-16) Playthrough @NintendoComplete | Uploaded 3 months ago | Updated 6 hours ago
A playthrough of TTI's 1992 license-based platformer for the TurboGrafx-16, Darkwing Duck.
Played through on the normal difficulty level.
Steelbeak is building a new superweapon to take over St. Canard, and Darkwing Duck is once again poised to become the ingrown toenail in the foot of crime. Tuskernini, Moliarty, and Megavolt have each been seen studying a stolen painting that holds the secret to Steelbeak's plan, so Darkwing sets off to find the pieces of the painting.
You can take on the henchman in any order you like. Tuskernini's stage begins on the streets and leads into the sewers, Megavolt's takes place on the rooftops, and Moliarty's is set underground, and the object of each stage is to find the puzzle pieces and to take down the boss. Once they're beaten, you'll put together the puzzle pieces and make your way to Steelbeak's hideout for the final battle against the superweapon.
The action is your typical platformer fare. You defeat enemies by shooting at them with your gas gun or by butt-bouncing off of their heads, and the levels are straightforward gauntlets of obstacles with occasional branching paths tossed in to shake things up.
Darkwing Duck was created by Interactive Designs, the same folks behind the TurboGrafx-16's take on TaleSpin (youtu.be/W37KLCqNu-c), and the two games are very similar, but Darkwing Duck turned out much better. The controls, though delayed, floaty, and imprecise, usually respond to your inputs, and the improved collision detection makes it a far less frustrating game to play than TaleSpin was. The animation is choppy and there's not much variety in the backdrops, but the graphics put on a decent show and look more professionally done than TaleSpin's. The music, on the other hand, sucks. The small handful of tracks repeat over and over, and that droning organ really wears on the nerves after awhile.
Darkwing Duck is unquestionably the better of the TurboGrafx's two Disney games, but that neither disguises nor excuses its stank. The overall quality leaves a lot to be desired. If you're itching for a good Darkwing Duck game, do yourself a favor and pick up Capcom's excellent NES game (youtu.be/KiCIXwA0GAQ) instead.

If wondering just what in the Sam Hill youre looking at here, I imagine you arent alone. I had no idea what to make of it at first, either. This was quite an exotic media experiment, and I dont think there have been many productions like it since.
Gurauen no Torikago is a Sega-produced horror film for the Dreamcast. It initially aired between September 1999 and July 2000 as a series of 365 bite-sized daily episodes split across six chapters. Each chapter retailed for 2800円 and shipped on a single GD-ROM, and the discs were sold exclusively through Segas online store, Dreamcast Direct. Once you had the disc, you would jump online with your Dreamcast to download an update that would unlock that days episode.
Its pretty cool that something like this existed in age of dial-up, but the novelty of it all aside, Birdcage of Horrors is way, way better than I had expected it to be. Its both a murder mystery and a horror film, and I found it entertaining the whole way through. The writing, acting, and production values are decent, the story keeps up a brisk pace, and the special effects are great. Those splatter scenes really go above and beyond. Fun stuff!
You probably dont want to watch it with young kids, though. This is not PG material.
