Obscure Game(s) 8:
Deep Blue is a side scroller released for Turbo Grafx-16 in 1989.
It is one of the most atmospheric side scroller you can play. The ship you use does not have a health bar, and you just float in the sea while trying to survive. So Deep Blue is more about survival than being a bullet hell shooter even though the game clearly harken back the aforementioned genre.
The graphics are great. It uses all the power of the Turbo Grafx-16. And such high quality contributes to the eerie atmosphere of the game.
If this game released in the 2000s it would have received much more praise.
I think that is the joy of discovering games, looking for that hidden gem and Deep Blue is one them, I needed to share.
Definitely deserves your time and attention!
Look at that cover art. It is mysterious and eerie. Waiting for you to dive the inner parts of the ocean. Also, it is quite expressive too, the color palette compliments the eerie atmosphere while without being stale.
Collecting Turbo Grafx-16 is a great hassle, but I would like to get into it just because the console had such experimental titles!
