PC engine disscussion + game recommendations

[Opa Opa]

Well I'm sure there are some HuCard games that would be fun to play that would be cheaper on PCE, like Magical Chase.

Oh I've already got a list building in my head.

And the Core Grafx is looking pretty good right now.

So with that I think you can either do two things for CD:

1.) Briefcase using the PC Engine CD-ROM2 Interface (IFU-30):

or

2.) Viper using the Super CD-ROM2 (P1-CD1):

EDIT: Second option might only be available with Core Grafx II, hard to tell.

If you love Shmups I would have to say that a CD add on would be worth it, although both Gates of Thunder and Winds/Lords of Thunder are pretty expensive at around $40-50.

And I might be wrong, but I'm fairly sure every variation of PCE can connect with any version of the CD add on. Only the PC Engine Shuttle cannot connect to a CD module.

At any rate, if you want to keep it cheap, a stock PCE will provide you with enough games for a while. By the way have you looked up Aero Blasters? There's a genesis port, but some people (myself included) find it to be inferior. I prefer the graphics and sounds the PCE version uses. Actually, do you have a full list of games your looking for?

A list, eh? Alright. I needed to put one together anyway.

Here's a rough list of shmups

• Tensei Ryuu: Saint Dragon
  Super Star Soldier
  Soldier Blade
  Parodius Da!
  Salamander
  Magical Chase (Hey, a man can dream, alright?)
  Fantasy Zone

I'm aware that some of these already have an American release and there are a lot unlisted that I still need to try out.

Non-shmups

• OutRun
  Space Harrier (well... not a true shmup)
  Parasol Stars
  Splatterhouse (Not as censored as the North American version)

---
As you can see I've mainly been focused on finding shmups so far. I need to go through the library and see what other non-shooters the system has to offer.

[noiseredux]

you should get Air Zonk, too.

[Opa Opa]

I'll look into it.

Isn't Air Zonk supposed to be a pretty high quality title?

[noiseredux]

I think its awesome. I was the only kid I knew who had a TG16 back in the day, though sadly it was right before it died altogether. So finding games for it was hard as hell (pre-internetz, remember?). Air Zonk was one of those games I always wanted, but never got to try until many years later. It's really an impressive game.

[Opa Opa]

pre-internetz, remember?

lol. remember dialing-up?

... yeah that sucked.
