| *Krazii Bakon Lypes: //[[game:Galaga 88]]// is the best game for the [[hardware:pce|PC-Engine]], bar none. It is a charming, challenging shooter that rewards smart playing and accuracy, but allows anyone with gumption (or drunk) to get through the game without understanding dimensional warp or upgrading your ship to a alien-crushing freighter. Every so often you'll get to play a bonus "That's Galactic Dancing!" stage, in which harmless alien ships dance to waltzes and cha-chas. | *Krazii Bakon Lypes: //[[game:Galaga 88]]// is the best game for the [[hardware:pce|PC-Engine]], bar none.

| + | * adol: Absolutely no bullshit tactics game. Story is sparse but well written and unobstrusive. Units are fairly well balanced, but the sense of scale of the maps is what really sets it apart from something like //[[game:x-com_series|Xcom]]//. | ||

| * spectralsound: the sound and graphics obviously suffer a bit compared to the arcade version, but you get a lifebar to compensate. the greatest lost [[company:irem|Irem]] masterpiece. | * spectralsound: the sound and graphics obviously suffer a bit compared to the arcade version, but you get a lifebar to compensate. the greatest lost [[company:irem|Irem]] masterpiece. | ||

| + | * bug: Popful Mail plays completely different on PC Engine, you should give it a try. You have to ram into things //[[game:ys_series|Ys]]//-style and it's reasonably weird in a platformer, but pretty charming if you have a soft spot for weird things. It's what //[[game:ys_series#Ys III: Wanderers from Ys|Ys III]]// should have been like. And it looks adorable! And the soundtrack is amazing as well! | ||

| + | *Loki Laufeyson: Commonly said to be the best Master System game of all, a title it lives up to. It's a great 8-bit semi-[[genre:metroidvania|metrovania]]. Being a //[[game:wonderboy_series|Wonderboy]]// game, it probably has at least three other names it's known by. | ||
| + | *haze: Whenever people fondly remember //[[game:zelda_ii_the_adventure_of_link|Zelda II]]// or //[[game:castlevania_ii_simons_quest|Castlevania II]]//, I recommend to them to play //Wonder Boy III//. It feels like a more polished version of what those games were attempting to do, while also shorter and more concise. None of the excess weight. | ||
| + | *username: I picked up the Sega Ages Wonderboy collection on a whim a few years ago and while I wasn't in love with the earlier games, //Monster's Trap// was pretty excellent. Very odd series progression where you go from a standard platformer to a basic adventure game to a weird scrolling shooter to a very charming [[genre:metroidvania|Metrovania]] but hey, it worked.\\ As odd as it sounds, I ended up playing through the included [[hardware:game_gear|Game Gear]] version over the [[hardware:master_system|SMS]] version as for whatever reason it felt just a bit tighter and a bit more intimate due to the reduced viewing area (the town is a few blocks shorter because of this and I think it helps). | ||
