Dragon Spirits

Post by Arvandor »

I went on a VC shopping spree and got all the TG-16 shooters I hadn't already bought for the VC (the only one I had was Super Star Soldier).

Anyways, one of which was obviously Dragon Spirits. It's a pretty neat game, like an upgraded version of Xevious with a cool setting, better music, and a powerup system.

I only have one, very major complaint with this game. The bosses need to have more than 3 hitpoints.

Be sure to check out the sequel, Dragon Saber. I liked that one much better than the first.

Definitely a cool series, a bit too frustrating at times.

Dragon Saber on PCE is tight.

I think the graphics are for some reason slightly worse than the original but it plays very well. Like the first one, it has good tunes too.

Both have been released on Namco Museums for PSone
both have tate
Dragon Saber is on Namco Museum encore. Dragon Spirit is on another museum disc.
I actually considered tating my 50" lcd projection tv for Dragon Saber. Good thing I came to my senses real quick.
There is already a tate thread about these titles somewhere. I just thought I would point this out before you spend you hard earned cash on enferior ports.

Dragon Spirits & Dragon Saber are great shooters for the PC Engine. BTW, have you ever played the NES version for Dragon Spirits?
