Strip Fighter.

Oh, and Bloody Wolf is pretty neat too.

>PCE Shmups
>That aren't arcade ports
>Good

Console has some of the most snore inducing games of that genre. Worse than SNES even.

There aren't another good Vigilante version on consoles. SMS version is good, but PCE is closer to the arcade. Also, Cadash for the same reasons and Break In.

Ninja Spirit, Bloody Wolf, Devil's Crush, Alien Crush, Splatterhouse, Tonma, Nectaris, Shubibinman 2, uh... there are plenty of other good games but you've decided to be a dick and condescendingly eliminate them with your arbitrary criteria to prove god knows what point. Do you even have a point?

>>1450571

Parasol Stars
Military Madness
Alien Crush (Devil's Crush has a MD port but I prefer PCE)
Dragon's Curse (It is a port, but the best port)
Legendary Axe
Neutopia 1 & 2 (Zelda clones, but good ones and you can't play them anywhere else)
Shockman
New Adventure Island

New Adventure Island, the crown jewel of the series

I'm from the post below you. I love Ninja Spirit and Splatterhouse a ton, but technically they're arcade ports. Really good ports though, Ninja Spirit is arguably better on the PCE in some ways. Splatterhouse I worshipped on my TG-16 but now with MAME I'd rather just play the arcade one I think.

Anyways, let the haters hate, more TG-16 for us!

>mfw OP made it bait-like but he actually wants good games for PC Engine, filtering CDs, shooters and other ports.

This thread gon' be good, already loving it. Need some TurboGrafx love sometimes.

>>1450615
Not who you're replying to, but I preffer Splatterhouse in PCE, personally.

Gekisha Boy

>>1450638

How come? I owned Splatterhouse for the TG-16 for years and beat it several times over. I can't think of why you'd prefer it. He even has the right mask in the arcade version. They did a bang up job on the graphics conversion though, it really isn't that obvious without a side by side comparison.

>>1450658
Honestly, I can't give a proper reason to why.

It doesn't make sense, I know, but I feel more at home with the PCE/TG-16 version.

Maybe it's also partly 'cause where I live the local arcade place didn't had Splatterhouse and my first-approach to the series was a bootleg famicom cartridge of Wanpaku Graffiti.

Tower of Druaga's remake.

There's a translation patch out there for the hints, but it's still fucking hard with them.

Has anyone played Final Lap Twin? I hear it's pretty good.

Military Madness
The Legendary Axe
The Legendary Axe II

>>1450663
Speaking of Batmans, wasn't there that one really weird maze-based Bomberman Batman thing? Sunsoft had the license back then, so it should be pretty decent.

>>1450953

Japanese PC-Engine Hu only, had some pretty cool music. Never played past the first couple of levels.

>>1450953
Oh right, how could I forgot? There was a Batman game by Sunsoft, the ones responsible for NES Batman and Batman: Return of the Joker.

Thanks for reminding me, anon

>>1450969
Welp, just want to say this was no sarcasm at all, I had seriously forgotten about that game, I haven't played it much.

>>1450960
>had some pretty cool music
Fuck yeah it did!

Fuck you, I'll break three of your rules with one game.
Air Zonk is superior

>>1450604
>Zelda clones, but good ones

they aren't good. I wish I could agree with them being good but they really aren't.

Genpei Toumaden?

I don't even know if it was a CD release or not

Rondo of Blood/Dracula X....
There I say it. and Ys Book 1 & 2.

dungeon explorer
magicoal

>>1450930
>Military Madness
About time someone mentioned TG16's version of the Wars series.

>>1451029
>Ys Book 1 & 2
That's a CD game.

>>1451013

Well, I think they're good. I dunno what all the hate for Neutopia is about, they're solid games, decent music, decent graphics. Clearly cashing in on Zelda, and many people are like "durr go play Zelda instead" but chances are most people have played the fuck out of most Zelda games. If you like the style of the game and want some more, these are for you. Golden Axe Warrior for the SMS is another that comes to mind.

>>1451149
So is Rondo. So is Magicoal.

>>1451039
Hey gimme some credit! I mentioned it too. One of my current all-time TG-16 favorites.

>>1451149
So is Rondo of Blood.

Was this any good?

Disingenuous thread. The CD addon wasn't just a curiosity for the PC-Engine like the Sega CD. Once it came out, it became the main platform for games.

>>1451161
It's alright, there's also an arcade version but if I recall the TG-16 version improves on it in many ways.

CD game, but I recommend Last Alert. If you get the US version, it has some of the best voice acting in any game, great music, and is a pretty good run and gun commando style shooter.

>>1451168
It's also crap to collect for and emulate.

Military Madness

Devil's Crush,checkmate.

>>1451175
>it has some of the best voice acting in any game

If you have a SuperGrafx, you MUST get Ghouls 'n Ghosts (Dai Maki Maura). It's a much more accurate conversion of the arcade original overall compared to the Genesis version is--almost to a fault. The graphics are MUCH better, the music arrangements are closer to the arcade, but the controls are exactly like the ones in the arcade version--you can't turn while in midair or ducking.

>>1451008
That's not Air Zonk, that's Super Air Zonk, which is one of the worst sequels in TG-16 history. The original HuCard Air Zonk is where it's at, bro.

>>1451205

Is there anything unique to the SG version of G'n'G? I am trying to perfect my selection of games for my home arcade, but I always have trouble deciding what to do with ports. If they offer something new, like a platform specific level, I keep them around. If you could just play MAME and get the real thing, I usually leave them out.

>>1451205
>That's not Air Zonk, that's Super Air Zonk, which is one of the worst sequels in TG-16 history
Which is why I said Air Zonk is superior.

>>1451153

God, Neutopia was amazing backing in the day. It's just like you said, it was great for people who wanted more Zelda. And after playing Zelda for years Neutopia looked all bright and shiny.

>>1450571
Super Star Soldier is really good.

I throw some of the games in that I tried out a while ago:

>Nectaris (Japan only)

>Galaga 90 (shmup)

>Order of the Griffon (this one is basically a D&D dungeon crawler similar to wizardry but also similar to Shining Force or similar games once you're outside and not in a dungeon. I suggest to try that one out.)

>Deep Blue (shmup)

>Parodius Da! (shmup)

>>1451330
nectaris is military madness you dope

>>1451013
oh fuck off they did everything the original zelda did and made it better. I had LoZ back in the day and my friend had Neutopia and I think theyre both great.

>Name a good TG16/PCE game that is not a good game
geee op,Military Madness,Alien Crush,Legendary Axe 1&2

How is Ghost Manor?

Final Match Tennis

genpei toumaden

>>1451013
Nintendo baby pls go

world court tennis

>>1451193
This and Alien Crush were great

>>1450578
>Console has some of the most snore inducing games of that genre

Guessing you've never played Lords Of Thunder then have you?

Also as for OP's question: Dungeon Explorer, Devil's Crush, Vigilante, Cadash, Jackie Chan's Action Kung-Fu, and Gekisha Boy

>>1451678
looks a lot like kaiju daikessen for snes, the sprites are exactly the same.

looks inferior, but I haven't tried it yet.

>>1451990
I don't even like Nintendo anymore.

>>1451178
Hm? PCE CD isn't hard to emulate at all.

Granted, I've only done it on Wii with WiiMednafen and Retro-Arch.

>>1451178
With Turbo Engine and Ootake, emulating the cd add-on is easy as pie. The only game that's given me trouble so far is Dracula X

>>1451178
Is this nigger serious? It emulates with no problem with -almost- all emulators. Used MagicEngine and never looked back.

>>1451039
>What is Nectaris

GAIA NO MONSHOU!

>>1451393

This is a terrible game. I am a big fan of the TG-16 and it's library, and I've owned a TG-16 and a Turbo Duo (Still own it). So I'm not just some dude who emulated all this stuff once and being shitty about it. It's just a really embarrassingly bad game. The music is horrific, the character sprite is an eyesore, platforming is terrible. Go check out a video on youtube of it, you will never speak of it again.

Why would anyone buy a Turbografx? The NES and SNES were FAR superior.

>Dungeon Explorer

this game seems so fucking obscure and gritty. But kinda fun at the same time. If you want to go full grimdark edge mode, play Warlock.

>>1452826
>this game seems so fucking obscure and gritty. But kinda fun at the same time

Many have compared it to a Japanese version of Atari/Midway's Gauntlet series. The two are pretty much indistinguishable from one another, tbh.

>>1452803

It's not bait if it's true.
