SB Recommends PC Engine / Turbografx-16 Games

Atomic Robo-Kid
- Krazii Bakon Lypes: A strange and entertaining shooter from UPL, the people who made Rad Action (Ninja Kid 2). Atomic Robo-Kid has complete freedom of movement, and several weapons to select from. There is great variety in the types of levels you will encounter. Straight lines fraight with swarms of weird robots with cube-brains floating in an infinite blue meadow, pong-like boss stages in which you are pitted against similar Robo-Kids, strange platform style pyramids where you blow up secret walls to find evil Pac Men laying in wait to kill you in two hits, and grand battles against screen-sized stuttering robot brains with mechanical dicks firing tiny ships at your poor unfortunate hull.

Doraemon: Meikyu Daisakusen (JP) / Cratermaze (US)
- dessgeega: doraemon is super neat. it's bomberman combined with heiankyo alien.

Galaga 88
- Krazii Bakon Lypes: Galaga 88 is the best game for the 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.

Ninja Spirit (formerly on Wii VC)
- spectralsound: the sound and graphics obviously suffer a bit compared to the arcade version, but you get a lifebar to compensate. the greatest lost Irem masterpiece.

R-Type (formerly on Wii VC)
- Sniper Honeyviper: Was a great port of the game at the time, but the fact that it's split up over 2 HuCards due to limitations really hurts it.

Soldier Blade (also on: Wii VC)
- Sniper Honeyviper: I'd like this game better if there was a more balanced difficulty setting. Normal is piss easy up until the last stage, while Hard blankets you with bullets from the get-go. Probably the peak of the series, though.

Yo Bro Forum thread
- Mr. Toups: Yo Bro is an isometric skating/adventure game with lots of heart. You play as a “bro”, a backwards-cap wearing skateboarding teddy bear who cruises around california saving teenagers from mutant plants, killer bees, and a whole other host of natural (and unnatural) hazards. The gameplay is […] something of a combination of 720 for the NES and Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Strange creatures roam the city streets and prowl upon helpless teenagers. Pass over the kids to rescue them and kill enemies by flinging rocks from your slingshot (which can be upgraded to grenades). The play control is a little clunky, but is highly configurable (the menu allows you to adjust “bro rotate speed”, for instance) and is actually pretty fluid once you get used to it.
  - And to top it all off, the soundtrack consists of chiptune covers of popular beach boys singles.
- shrugtheironteadcup: Nine year old me would consider it the Wii killer app.
