Ys I & II CD-ROM Review Rating: 00/00. "The intro to this game is mind-blowing and it only gets better... Ys I & II would get my vote for best soundtrack ever recorded for a video game." TurboPlay 1990 Aug / Sept 007
Bloody Wolf HuCard Review Rating: 00/00. "...there are a few times when the game will bog down because of the number of enemies on the screen. Despite the downfalls, it is still fun with a capital F." TurboPlay 1990 Aug / Sept 007 , 008
Dragon's Curse HuCard Review Rating: 00/00. "...yes, it is a crossover game. Those of you who own a Sega Master System may recognize this game as Wonderboy 3." TurboPlay 1990 Aug / Sept 008
Super Volleyball HuCard Review Rating: 00/00. "However, what the game lacks in music and sound, it makes up for in animation and playability." TurboPlay 1990 Aug / Sept 008
Psychosis HuCard Review Rating: 00/00. "You can't cry out, and you've lost all your freedom as the Devil Ugar slowly takes over your soul." Note: The Devil Ugar!!! TurboPlay 1990 Aug / Sept 009
Timeball HuCard Review Rating: 00/00. "Timeball starts off easy and gradually gets harder. It almost seduces you into playing more." Note: Timeball seduces you into playing more. Awesome. TurboPlay 1990 Aug / Sept 009

Legendary Axe II HuCard Review Rating: 04/05. "If you were expecting an exact sequel to Legendary Axe, forget it, it's not. But believe me, it won't take long for this one to win your hearts." TurboPlay 1990 Oct / Nov 007
Veigues Tactical Gladiator HuCard Review Rating: 05/05. "Because of the complexity of the controls, the game seems more suited to the advanced player. But it is one game that is highly recommended to all." TurboPlay 1990 Oct / Nov 007 , 008
Valis II CD-ROM Review Rating: 03/05. "...the number of extra men you can obtain is far too much for the amount of damage the enemies can inflict on you, which leaves little challenge for the sixty plus dollars you'll have to pay." TurboPlay 1990 Oct / Nov 008
Last Alert CD-ROM Review Rating: 04/05. "Last Alert is another example of why CD-ROM games will be the wave of the future." TurboPlay 1990 Oct / Nov 009
Tiger Road HuCard Review Rating: 03/05. "...it should be a hit with former Nintendo owners who are looking for something similar to classic NES titles such as Kung Fu, Kid Niki or Radical Ninja." TurboPlay 1990 Oct / Nov 009

Super Star Soldier HuCard Review Rating: 04/05. "If you liked Blazing Lazers then you'll like Super Star Soldier. NEC even considered calling this game Blazing Lazers II..." TurboPlay 1990 Dec / 1991 Jan 005
AeroBlasters HuCard Review Rating: 04/05. "AeroBlasters is a fun game that we recommend if you enjoy space-killer games." Note: Space-killer games, mmmm. TurboPlay 1990 Dec / 1991 Jan 005 , 006
Battle Royale HuCard Review Rating: 03/05. "The game's graphics are very inconsistent... and look as if they should be on a different, lesser game system." TurboPlay 1990 Dec / 1991 Jan 006 , 007
Sinistron HuCard Review Rating: 04/05. "Although the game may not feature some astounding new technology in video games or win a best graphics award... it is incredibly addictive." TurboPlay 1990 Dec / 1991 Jan 007
TurboPlay #05 Magazine View All View all scans from this issue TurboPlay 1991 Feb / March 001 - 032
Jack Nicklaus HuCard Review Rating: 06/10. "The trees, roughs and other obstacles seem to blend together in a sea of green. The sound and music is even worse... the other sounds are very plain and resemble Pong sounds (dink)." TurboPlay 1991 Feb / March 018 , 019
Jack Nicklaus CD-ROM Review Rating: 08/10. "Also added to the CD version is a narrator's voice that will give a bit of advice for each hole as it appears on the screen." TurboPlay 1991 Feb / March 018 , 019
Magical Dinosaur Tour CD-ROM Review Rating: 09/10. "Led by Lolo, your friendly dinosaur tour guide, you'll get a first-class look at the dinosaurs that roamed the Earth during the Mesozoic period." TurboPlay 1991 Feb / March 019 , 020
TurboPlay #06 Magazine View All View all scans from this issue TurboPlay 1991 April / May 001 - 032
TV Sports Basketball HuCard Review Rating: 07/10. "There are no loose-ball fouls, no referees, no audience members (well, there are a few guys loitering near each basket)--there's not even an opening tip-off!" TurboPlay 1991 April / May 010
Sherlock Holmes CD-ROM Review Rating: 08/10. "Probably the best feature of this game is the digitized footage of filmed scenes with live actors (complete with British accents) and period sets." TurboPlay 1991 April / May 011
TurboPlay #07 Magazine View All View all scans from this issue TurboPlay 1991 June / July 001 - 032
Talespin HuCard Review Rating: 07/10. "It's obvious that the game play was designed for a younger audience... TaleSpin is a good game for the novice or younger video gamer." TurboPlay 1991 June / July 010
J.B. Harold: Murder Club CD-ROM Review Rating: 09/10. "The key to why this game worked for me was the way the game and storyline were so well connected. There are no holes in this one. All the questions and answers, the leads and the red herrings blend in well together." TurboPlay 1991 April / May 010
TurboPlay #08 Magazine View All View all scans from this issue TurboPlay 1991 Aug / Sept 001 - 032
Yo' Bro! HuCard Review Rating: 07/10. "The graphics in Yo' Bro! are not up to the quality one has a right to expect from a graphics powerhouse like the TurboGrafx-16." TurboPlay 1991 Aug / Sept 016 , 017
TV Sports Hockey HuCard Review Rating: 08/10. "There's no way to describe the enjoyment that a five-player game can deliver, particularly when all five players are on the same team." TurboPlay 1991 Aug / Sept 017 , 018
TurboPlay #09 Magazine View All View all scans from this issue TurboPlay 1991 Oct / Nov 001 - 032
Champions Forever Boxing HuCard Review Rating: 07/10. "Even with the wide variety of available options, Champions Forever Boxing still suffers from a touch of monotony." Author: Chris Bieniek TurboPlay 1991 Oct / Nov 010 , 011
Silent Debuggers HuCard Review Rating: 07/10. "The graphics are crisp and smoothly animated, and the sound effects are very effective in setting the right mood for the game... good shooting reflexes and some strategy are a must for success." Author: Brent Walker TurboPlay 1991 Oct / Nov 011 , 012
Cadash HuCard Review Rating: 08/10. "This was the number-one most requested game, not only from readers of TurboPlay, but also on the TurboGrafx-16 Hotline. As the saying goes, 'Good things come to those who wait.'" Author: Donn Nauert TurboPlay 1991 Oct / Nov 012
Impossamole HuCard Review Rating: 07/10. "Unfortunately, several quirks in the control scheme have undermined the impact of Impossamole's audio-visual excellence." Author: Chris Bieniek TurboPlay 1991 Oct / Nov 013
Parasol Stars HuCard Review Rating: 06/10. "...solo gaming isn't anywhere near as exciting and interesting as gaming between two people." Author: Howard H. Wen. Note: This game deserves more than a mere 6/10! TurboPlay 1991 Oct / Nov 015
Ys III: Wanderers from Ys CD-ROM Review Rating: 09/10. "If you thought the music was great in Ys Book I & II, wait until you hear this one--it's intense." Author: Donn Nauert TurboPlay 1991 Oct / Nov 014
TurboPlay #10 Magazine View All View all scans from this issue TurboPlay 1991 Dec / 1992 Jan 001 - 032
Andre Panza Kick Boxing HuCard Review Rating: 08/10. "Aside from the fact that the game is endorsed by a personality who is pretty much unknown in the U.S. ..." TurboPlay 1991 Dec / 1992 Jan 014 , 015
Darkwing Duck HuCard Review Rating: 04/10. "... the supporting cast and backgrounds are sadly lacking in many areas and really don't push the abilities of the system at all, much less meet them." Author: Brent Walker TurboPlay 1991 Dec / 1992 Jan 010 , 011
It Came From the Desert CD-ROM Review Rating: 09/10. "This is an amazing game. Not only does it have a title song comparable to anything on the radio, but ..." Author: Donn Nauert. Note: I love the title song (Sea of Love), too. TurboPlay 1991 Dec / 1992 Jan 011 , 012
Raiden HuCard Review Rating: 08/10. "... the only differences I've detected are the difficulty--the arcade version may be a tad more intense--and the way a few of the end bosses fire and move." Author: Donn Nauert TurboPlay 1991 Dec / 1992 Jan 015 , 029
Turrican HuCard Review Rating: 06/10. "... Turrican is not a game for the novice blaster." Author: Clayton Walnum TurboPlay 1991 Dec / 1992 Jan 013 , 014
Valis III CD-ROM Review Rating: 08/10. "For those of you who breeze through it, you can always play through the game using different characters and find yourself playing a ‘new’ game." Author: Donn Nauert TurboPlay 1991 Dec / 1992 Jan 012 , 013

TV Sports Baseball (never released) HuCard Review Rating: 06/10. "Unlike TV Sports Hockey, which represented an improvement over the seemingly incomplete basketball game, TV Sports Baseball is lacking in certain areas." Author: Chris Bieniek TurboPlay 1992 Feb / March 016
Ballistix HuCard Review Rating: 06/10. "...this ball-bopping contest will probably please you." Author: Clayton Walnum. Note: Has anyone truly enjoyed the ball-bopping of Ballistix? TurboPlay 1992 Feb / March 023
Night Creatures HuCard Review Rating: 05/10. "The backgrounds are OK, as are the creatures themselves (except for somewhat jerky animation), but the soundtrack doesn't change and sound effects... are nonexistent." Author: Brent Walker TurboPlay 1992 Feb / March 017
TurboPlay #12 Magazine View All View all scans from this issue TurboPlay 1992 April / May 001 - 032
Gunboat HuCard Review Rating: 07/10. "The controls are a bit sluggish, due to the lengthy calculations involved in updating the polygon-fill, for first-person visuals..." Author: Chris Bieniek TurboPlay 1992 April / May 022

Neutopia II HuCard Review Rating: 07/10. "In spite of its lackluster graphics and amazing similarity to the first game in the series, I had many long hours of fun with Neutopia II." Author: Josh Mandel TurboPlay 1992 June / July 018 , 019
Falcon HuCard Review Rating: 07/10. "...Falcon features a special head-to-head combat option for owners of the TurboExpress only." Author: Clayton Walnum TurboPlay 1992 June / July 019 , 020
Lords of the Rising Sun CD-ROM Review Rating: 08/10. "...despite having been based on a Cinemaware title, this is, in fact, a Japanese game that has been dubbed in English..." Author: Chris Bieniek TurboPlay 1992 June / July 020 , 021

Order of the Griffon HuCard Review Rating: 07/10. "Arming or disarming your characters' weapons is effortless, as is selecting spells. And this simplicity of function is still complex with regard to play content." Author: Howard H. Wen TurboPlay 1992 Aug / Sept 017
Deadmoon HuCard Review Rating: 05/10. "The big question mark for me was the game's longevity. With only six levels to play and unlimited continues, this game could use some more tweaking." Author: Brent Walker TurboPlay 1992 Aug / Sept 018
Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu HuCard Review Rating: 06/10. "Good gameplay is what kept me coming back for more, as well as the convulsions Jackie goes through when he kicks off." Author: Brent Walker TurboPlay 1992 Aug / Sept 019
Shapeshifter CD-ROM Review Rating: 08/10. "If Shapeshifter has a flaw, it's an uninspired plot line and gameplay... it's a fairly ordinary hack-and-slasher." Author: Clayton Walnum TurboPlay 1992 Aug / Sept 016
Splash Lake CD-ROM Review Rating: 07/10. "As a throwback to block-breaking strategy contests like Pengo and Kickle Cublicle, Splash Lake fares pretty well... Those who enjoyed earlier TurboChip titles such as Chew Man Fu and Timeball can expect good things from this one." Author: Chris Bieniek TurboPlay 1992 Aug / Sept 020
