What a stupid question, just look at that compact form factor. With one of these babies you could store an entire retro console collection in a Japanese apartment.

Adventure Island is fine

Tons of great games don't believe the memes. If your bud said that then he's an idiot.
Just a few
Splatterhouse
Military madness
Silent debuggers (console's 1st fps?)

It has a large library of CD RPG's, unfortunately most were never ported so you have to know Japanese.

My PC Engine is mostly for RPGs, SRPGs, action RPGs, and character-raising simulations

>>11021221
Its got a handfull of platformers, not as many as other consoles but they are very high quality, stuff like JJ and Jeff.
Its got a couple of good beat em ups, probably a bit of a waste if you don't like shooters.
It got a fair amount of nonsense like board games and quiz games too.

>>11021221
The Supergrafx has the best home port of Daimakaimura

>>11021221
It's got a lot of great arcade ports, but assuming you can just emulate Arcade versions, the main appeal is shmups and Bonk. But if you do like shmups, the lineup is very solid

>>11021221
Ys Series, Valis series, some nice fighting games and arcade ports. They are very similar though imho the TurboGrafx-CD is actually way more interesting, mainly because many of its games are actually exclusive and not shared with PS1. The shmups themselves are also better imo

Forgot to mention some of the beat 'em ups, it has a very cool port of Double Dragon II, Kaze Kiri Ninja Action, Mad Stalker, and several others

Why don't you people emulate the consoles that are flawlessly emulated

>>11021608
There are ports on the PS1, Saturn and probably best of all, Sharp X68000 that are basically arcade perfect. It's still the best home port when the game was relevant though, the Sharp ver dropped in 94.

Great YouTuber for this is Retro Core, he does a series where he compares all ports of older games, nothing extravagant, just back to back comparisons over gameplay footage. 511 videos on the subject.

I bought one a few months ago with a flash card. I have to say the library is a little disappointing without the CD addon. I really enjoyed the Bonk games, Neutopia 1&2 and Devil's Crush pinball though

>>11021221
>he basically said that was the only reason he had a PC Engine along with a bunch of Shmups.
He's a fucking retard, the PC Engine has an excellent library of games outside of Rondo and shooters. Ninja Spirit, Alien Crush/Devil's Crush, New Adventure Island, Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu, Legend of Hero Tonma, Son Son II, Valis I - IV, Legendary Axe, Cadash, Exile, Dragon's Curse, Dynastic Hero, Ys I-III, Dungeon Explorer I & II, all great games that aren't shooters.

>>11021221
>Is there really no other reason to get one of these besides Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and a bunch of Shoot em ups?
Yes. Everything a retarded underage shitposts here is true.
>I went for a couple beers at a local Saturn collectors house and when saw his PC Engine I told him I was interested to play Rondo of Blood and he basically said that was the only reason he had a PC Engine along with a bunch of Shmups.
You don't remember what happened at that house and your butt is still aching.

>>11021654
Yeah, sorry, I meant best *conversion* of Daimakaimura.

>Is there really no other reason to get one of these
I found another reason
actually many reasons

>>11021221
The CD Ys games are kino.

>>11024057
>Bonk's girl transformation is there too
KEK

What if you made a decision for yourself based on your personal preference instead of acting like a woman asking everyone else what you should do so you can feel important.

YS Book 1+2
YS 3
YS Memories of Celecta

>>11021221
Rondo is what gets you interested in the console, then you get to appriciate the library once you look into the catalog.

>>11021221
There's also Bomberman, pinball, Splatterhouse, Ninja Spirit, and a few others.

But yeah it's mostly shmups.

Lots of good non-shooter games for PCE. Parasol Stars, Mizubaku Daiboken, Dynastic Hero, Kiki Kaikai, Ninja Spirit, Legend of Hero Tonma, Beball, Splatterhouse, Devil/Alien Crash, Adventure Island, Marchen Maze, Bomberman, Bonk, Bloody Wolf, Gekisha Boy, Valkyrie no Densetsu, Legendary Axe, Cadash, Jackie Chan, Ys, Kaze Kiri. Those are off the top of my head. Tons of RPG’s but most are filtered by virtue of not being able to read Jap, myself included. This “Saturn collector” sounds like a bit of a retard.

>>11021280
>Splatterhouse
Garbage
>>11021221
Dragon's Trap and Final Match Tennis are also really good. Not much else aside from some OK shooters

Dungeon Explorers

I can't take this console seriously
Too cute and small with only 2 buttons
Was it made for babies?

>>11025952
Researching this topic has lead me to discover that a TurboExpress looks gigantic in the hands of a baby

read the goddamn wiki

>>11025952
It's not that different from Famicom. The HuCards/TurboChips were a novel design though imo. Saves space and fits inside of a Jewel case.

>>11024057
there has to be a higher res scan of this somewhere

It's impossible to choose a model. You have this console that you only get if you have autism. But just to troll, there are like 5 different models to choose from. This is a hell of Nec's creation.

>>11026028
Here's a slightly higher res one with SAMPLE on it

>>11026182
For me it's female bonk

>>11021221
Rondo of Blood is a CD game, so good luck trying to play it on that.

The console itself and the physical cards are awesome. The games are the problem

>downloadind all the CD games
>almost done with the S games
>155GB
Holy fuck I didn't expect it to be this large. I'm just finally getting around to backup up games and this crazy. I'm probably just going to just download the rest by hand later since wget will go through the whole list if I move the folder around. My poor nvme 1TB... I just need to move these over to my external and internal HDDs so I can delete these off of the nvme.

>the only reason
retarded

i have the complete retail library on my everdrive
even without the (godtier) cd library you still have a STACKED collection of around 330 hucards

not EVERY game is a 10\10
but there are some killer titles that never got rereleased on other systems
if you liked the nes\snes\genesis era
and didn't have a tg16 growing up its like another timecapsule library from that exact era
with the upside of tons of games that you likely havent played


recs:
Märchen Maze
new zealand story
liquid kids
Fushigi no Yume no Alice
new adventure island
parasol fuckin stars
strip fighter
wonder boy
mega twins
Valkyrie no Densetsu

and once you realize CD games exist and are even more stacked than the hu-card library
pce is basically one of the top 3 \VR\ systems ever made

I hate jannies
