Octo, you need to go to this site:
http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php
All your questions will be answered there.

In short, you NEED PC Genjin, PC Genjin 2, PC Denjin, Bomberman '94, Alien Crush or Devil's Crush, Gunhed, Super Star Soldier, Final Soldier, Soldier Blade, R-Type Part I and II, Parodius Da!, Salamander, Gradius, Twinbee, Download, Jackie Chan, Ninja Spirit, Bloody Wolf, Image Fight, Darius Alpha (hopefully about $10), 1943, Dragon Spirit, Dragon Saber, Side Arms, Galaga '88, Splatterhouse and a ton of other stuff! NONE of these are horribly expensive. Soldier Blade and Splatterhouse are probably the most expensive, and it's only about $40 for Soldier Blade and $50-60 for Splatterhouse. The rest should be under $30 CIB.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll look into some of those for my new PC Engine when it gets here.

I am eyeballing Son Son ii, Aoi Blink, Fantasy Zone and Forgotten Worlds also. I assume that the cross console games are better on the PC Engine?

If better is cheaper, then that is generally a YES.
If you are comparing PC Engine games to Master System (ie. Fantasy Zone), then YES.
If you are comparing PC Engine games to Genesis (ie. Forgotten Worlds), then it is subjective. The PC Engine can display more colours at once and seems to have an easier time with large sprites, while the Genesis is better at effects (ie. parallax scrolling).
If you are comparing the PC Engine games to the SNES (ie. Parodius Da!), then it is subjective. The PC Engine can display more colours at once than the SNES, but has a smaller colour palette to choose from. The PCE processor runs about twice as fast as the SNES, so it seems to handle fast scrolling games like shoot 'em ups better (as does the Genesis), but the SNES is better at effects (ie. parallax scrolling(not as good as Genesis, but better than PCE), mode 7, scaling). The PCE is generally brighter than both the Genesis (looks dull in comparison) and SNES (looks washed out).

Forgotten Worlds

Just remember that FW is on the first Capcom Classics disc for PS2. Using the right analog stick to aim is also closer to the original arcade's spinner controller than having buttons to spin left or right.

You should read this for comparing the Gen and PCE versions though. http://www.sega-16.com/feature_page.php ... 16%20CD%29

Guess I already own it then.

Edit: I also was thinking that the PC Engine version was on HU card.

Honey in the Sky.


The weirdest shmup, ever.

I just got Honey on the Road. Sadly it sold so fast on my store I didn't get much of a chance to play it beyond testing it a bit. It seemed pretty odd though.
