  • I’ve definitely played through the game multiple times in a row on just those three lives. You gain more lives at certain score levels anyway. If you play through the entire game without dying, you’ll have around 10 lives left. And if you sit through the credits, the game continues from the beginning, only it gets harder after every loop. After 4 or 5 consecutive runs, the basic enemies that usually just run and jump actually start shooting at you.


  • Bonk’s Adventure for PC Engine/Turbo Grafx 16 was the game that sold that console. It’s brightly colored, has fun graphics and large sprites, and easy to pick up. It’s pretty easy, and not very long, but it’s quite fun. Also since the controllers on that console had a built-in switch to enable turbo on the buttons, the game is built with that in mind. The sequels were released after 1990, but are also quite fun and each add something to the previous games.
