	R-Type review (TG16) Reviewed on April 13, 2016 Still insane after all these years!
	Blazing Lazers review (TG16) Reviewed on December 22, 2015 After a slow start, much adrenaline was manufactured.
	TV Sports Football review (TG16) Reviewed on December 21, 2015 Well, it's football on the TG-16... and that's about it.
	F-1 Dream review (TG16) Reviewed on October 11, 2014 If you like racing games on retro consoles, this one's worth your money.
	Hana Taaka Daka!? review (TG16) Reviewed on September 28, 2014 Submitted on a Sunday because this is the sort of game that's best on a dull weekend day when you just can't think of anything to do.
	Psychosis review (TG16) Reviewed on January 11, 2014 I opened up my head and took a look within to open 2014.
	Override review (TG16) Reviewed on November 01, 2013 Instead, we have six levels that are just there. A couple have you flying over Earth-like surfaces, while others position you above bland mechanical structures that could be a Death Star-like tunnel, a futuristic military base, a satellite up there in space or whatever.
	Ghost Manor review (TG16) Reviewed on October 13, 2013 Paranormal craptivity
	Dead Moon review (TG16) Reviewed on April 13, 2013 In Dead Moon, only during boss fights, your ship turns around and faces left once you reach the screen’s right edge. You’ll feel like you're in an actual arena, struggling to survive a battle with a true rival. The game makes full use of this mechanic, too; bosses will fly all over the screen, forcing you to constantly remain on the move in order to stay alive.
	Salamander review (TG16) Reviewed on February 02, 2013 Sadly, Salamander is a rarity — a Gradius-style game that doesn't operate by these rules. Instead, you get the simple-n-generic sort of system where enemies drop power-ups represented by various icons and, by collecting them, you automatically get whatever goodie they represent. This takes some of the fun out of this title, as the ability to customize the way you power up your ship was quite a nice touch.
	Final Soldier review (TG16) Reviewed on January 21, 2013 Middlin' Soldier
	Alien Crush review (TG16) Reviewed on May 26, 2012 It's also interesting to note that a lot of the sound in this game isn't violent or hyper like you would expect a pinball game to sound like.
	Tricky Kick review (TG16) Reviewed on October 24, 2011 Attention puzzle game gurus! Tired of taking apart videogame conundrums like so much Lego? IGS has your game. You won’t beat it any time soon. In fact, Tricky Kick’s box should wear a disclaimer: If you think you’re at all good at games, don’t play this. Your ego and sense of self worth may be smashed irreparably.
	Bloody Wolf review (TG16) Reviewed on June 27, 2011 Enemies don't hit the ground and flash when they die. They grasp the gory open wound, take a moment to examine the blood on their hand, then thrust the hand toward the sky as if cursing their creator for fating them to cross paths with you. It's one of the many ways Bloody Wolf strokes your ego. Playing as a muscle-bound commando badass on a motorcycle apparently isn't enough of an ego boost.
	Jackie Chan's Action Kung-Fu review (TG16) Reviewed on April 25, 2011 Big-headedness ruled the roost on the Turbografx-16, and we had developers Hudson Soft to thank. From Bonk’s Adventure to JJ & Jeff, Hudson had a stranglehold on the burgeoning cutesy 2D platformer featuring characters with massive noggins genre.
	Deep Blue review (TG16) Reviewed on December 01, 2010 Deep Blue? How about DEEP SHIT!
	Dragon's Curse review (TG16) Reviewed on November 08, 2010 A super deformed knight runs across the screen, his sword held high in a completely impractical position. His eyes are larger than his fists, and it gives him a less than dignified look. The man looks like a Weeble. Let's hope he wobbles and doesn't fall down. Super deformed beasties come at him. Even though they smile like characters in a children's cartoon, you know what they want is him laying in a pool of Weeble blood. Maybe he can fall down. The knight hacks and slashes and enemies fall wit...
	Neutopia review (TG16) Reviewed on October 29, 2010 The Triforce doens't stand for this.
	Dungeons & Dragons: Order of the Griffon review (TG16) Reviewed on July 23, 2009 Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (AD&D) provided a formula for RPG's, but unfortunately the licensed computer games focused on the formulas without trying for anything approaching creativity. Order of the Griffon (OotG,) a Turbografx-16 only entry, is fun without being especially good, largely helped by ignoring the more arcane AD&D features nobody cares about. With nothing resembling original plot (hunt down a vampire) or items, and a relatively small world, it sputters along with li...
	Image Fight review (TG16) Reviewed on February 08, 2009 More than two years after its initial release, Image Fight stood defiant on the PC Engine as one of the finest shooters the system had to offer. It had graced the arcades, sold its soul to the devil to appear on the NES, and even graced the likes of a couple of obscure Japanese computers. But now it was on the PC Engine where it deserved to be. A hardcore shooter on a system known for its hardcore shooters. This is how things should have been from the start.
