What are your favorite PC Engine games that you've recently discovered or have always been your favorite to play? PC Engine CD and SuperGrafx welcome, but please specify what the game is on.

I think it's a cliche at this point, but Bomberman '94 and Soldier Blade are my favorite to default to depending on my mood. I somehow have not gone through the single player of BM'94, but that's because the multiplayer is really feature rich on it's own. Soldier Blade is probably the only SHMUP I can get pretty far in without getting a game over.

>TRUXTON
I'm probably not giving this game a fair chance, but can't seem to get into it with the same enthusiasm that Mark does.

>>8821584
>use the catalog you wanker
That other thread is specifically for CD.
>adventure island
This is one of the games that make me wish there were more NES remakes of on PC Engine. The game feels much better to play in this version. There are a few NES games ported to PCE though but don't retain their entire sound library with the exception of Rockman CD which uses arranged music I think.

>lords of thunder
I've seen this shopped around before and it looks like a horizontal SHMUP. What would you say are it's defining features that make it popular?

I loved Somer Assault as a kid. Also, Final Lap Twin and Shockman.

The opening song is so bad it's good. Not the greatest shooter but the cutscenes and dialog are classic. https://youtu.be/PXiTdcUsc5g

What is a good price for either of the Core Grafx console?

[Anonymous No.8821968]

>>8821917
I bought my white PCE on ebay for $90 with a controller, power supply and RF cable. This was like 3 or 4 years ago though.

[Anonymous No.8821981]

>>8821968
This seems to be the average price for these and A/V model. I wouldn't mind getting one with just RF since they are cheap enough and easily complimented by a flash cart.

I'm shit at shmups and can't get past the first level but it is really quite fun and silly. The Genesis version is actually better imho, but I think both versions have their fans.

[Anonymous No.8822629]

>>8821981
I usually see units that come with av cable and psu go for $110.

You can get a simple adapter to get better video out however your missing half of the library if you don't get a CD drive
you're better off emulating if you don't want to spend much money

This console is awesome. Best 4th gen IMO. What was done with the CD-ROM accessory of this console was completely unrivaled at the time.

Just look around to see what games you might like: https://refuge.tokyo/pcengine/pcengine.html

[Anonymous No.8823026]

What emulator do you use? I downloaded Ootake yesterday but it got like 5 positives on virustotal.

[Anonymous No.8823056]

>>8822948
As for me, it's SLG

[Anonymous No.8823081]

>>8821560
Rondo of Blood. Apart from that I'm not sure if a person not interested in shmups and fightings can find anything else worth playing on this platform. I would like to be proven wrong, though.

[Anonymous No.8823086]

>>8823026
Bizhawk, check Emuwiki for the latest version

[Anonymous No.8823095]

>>8823026
Mednafen. Used to use Bizhawk but it’s TG emulation wasnt the best

[Anonymous No.8823107]

to clarify
this shit is drag and derp if you have a turbo everdrive - just make sure you have the os and shiet from krikkz as well

[Anonymous No.8825429]

>>8824729
Thanks anon. I have a pretty large amount of curated games on the Everdrive already but this is going on my hard drive for sure

[Anonymous No.8826178]

Does anybody have a higher resolution pic of the 好みのあの娘に、duoなら出会える poster? Or at least high enough for the text to be readable. It was peak NEC marketing.

Big fan of the console. Wish it got more 3rd party support and the hucards had a lack of storage, but it’s still an awesome system

Some of my favorites, including “hidden gems”

>super dodgeball
>liquid kids
>parasol stars
>bonk 2
>salamander
>fatal fury special
>ys 4
>dragon trap
>new adventure island
>truxton
>sonson 2
>samurai ghost
