Yo Bro
- really want to like it, it has a great soundtrack and cool concept but the controls are just horrible.
Battle Royale
- Awesome graphics and sound. Hilarious wrestlers. But terrible controls make this almost unplayable.
Bonk 3
- It's a Bonk game! How could it be bad? Well...apparently the developers found a way!
This game is just not very fun. Not sure why, but it screams 'gimmick' and 'phoned in' to me. It's like a ROM hack of the first two Bonks packaged as a new game.
Keith Courage
- Yes, this game has some cool underworld stages. But the overworld is so nauseatingly cutesy it kills it. And also, "Keith Courage?" Really?? THIS was the pack in game? No WONDER the Turbo lost the console wars!
Ninja Gaiden
-It's Ninja Gaiden. Why is it bad? Because the background scrolls faster than the foreground. I don't know what drugs they were using here but it looks really weird and annoying.

I really want to like Spriggian 2. Visuals and sound are great, but I keep getting hit by EVERYTHING! I love Target Earth for Genny, and this has shades of it but I've yet to find a invincibility cheat yet

Cosmic Fantasy 3. Almost everything was an improvement from its predesessors... until the game suddenly ended abruptly with a cliffhanger and an advertisement for the final game, CF4 (though eventually CF4 became two final games). It was so short and at the end nothing was solved, which was like... a shareware teaser demo.

Dead Moon. It is an attractive game that just… feels off to me. Not even sure why.
Cyber Core. Should be a perfectly functional Xevious/Dragon Spirit knock off, but the player hit box is just too damn big.
Sinistron. Ok, this one is a cheat. I think the graphics are ugly, the music droning, and everything takes too many hits to kill. But some folks love it. I don’t get it.

I think a lot of Turbo games are like this, sadly. Much like the Turbo itself, it's very promising but failed to deliver much at least in the US. Toilet Kids - This is a great concept, (well it's at least a funny concept) but horrible execution means that most Japanese kids probably flushed the HuCard down the toilet. Bravoman - A game that should be a fun Mega-Man style game for Turbo (similar to Shockman, which is a little better) but just mediocre overall. Strip Fighter - I would love a game with all women fighters (like Skull girls but more realistic) but this game ain't it, chief. Graphics are good but everything else is very underwhelming.
Artist Tool - Another great concept, a Mario Paint style art game. But it's so bare bones it almost makes Color A Dinosaur look good.

Neutopia: every time you go down a stairs or enter a cave it seems the game has you talking to a NPC.

Batman for the Turbografx is a weird little game that's almost worth playing, but it's too repetitive. You fight the same guys over and over and it gets old. Does anybody here like this game?

I'll add Darkwing Duck. Great graphics, hideous gameplay.

By 'great' I mean, for the time it was made and the technology used. Not by today's standards. That mostly applies to the cut scenes in the game that looked good on the back of the box and lured some poor kids into buying it.

I thought Tailspin also had good graphics, but the gameplay was atrocious. It was one of the few games I had with my Turbo so I played it a lot and could never finish the game because of the difficulty controlling the game. Better control and hit detection would've gone a long way in making those Disney cartoon games significantly better

Does anyone here know how and why these terrible Disney games were made? You'd think that there would be some quality control there for the license.
I also wonder why they chose Darkwing Duck and Talespin, instead of more mainstream characters like Donald or Mickey.

Because Talespin and Darkwing Duck were popular syndicated cartoons at the time. Or at least had been within the years before.

I think an enhanced port of NES Ducktales games or Rescue Rangers 1 & 2 would have been fantastic on the Turbografx.
