Today I’ve also added a few new PC Engine games to my PC Engine Collection >>
The games are:
Star Parodier
I read about this one in the free online magazine PC Engine Gamer and it got such great reviews I immediately looked it up and got it! However, I didn’t reflect on the fact that the game was a CD-ROM game until I finally got it by mail.. and still don’t have a DUO >-<
Wonder Boy III Monster Lair
This is also a game that supposedly is great, however, this one is ALSO CD-ROM >_< soon though.. I will get a PC Engine DUO!
Spin Pair
This was a really interesting puzzle game! I’ve never seen anything quite like this one.
All the different stages have new shapes that you need to match.
In the beginning it’s quite easy with simple shapes. You can swith places on the two shapes that drop and with the second button you can also rotate the insides in 4 different directions, filling either the top, bottom, left or right of the shape. Then you have to match it with a corresponding shape that has the opposite side filled.
It gets quite hard after a while, and it speeds up at times, then the only thing you can do to slow it down again is to match a certain amount of shapes, which is really hard when it’s speeding!
Doraemon Meikyuu Daisakusen
Another Doraemon game, this one is a platforming action with a top view perspective. Kind of like Sunsoft’s Batman for PC Engine. I just beat the game a few days ago, I will try to make a review of it someday soon ^_^
I also added Atomic Robo-kid to my PC Engine collection, I’ve already written a bit about that game here >> and another new game was Sindibad: Chitei no Dai Makyuu, which I haven’t tried out yet. I think it’s an RPG though.. >_<
Retro Video Gaming 
I’m starting to get excited about the Turbo Graphics. The more I look the more I realize there are a lot of really good games for it. A good friend of mine got me a Turbo Duo from a garage sale. I haven’t picked it up yet but I’m excited. As soon as he told me I went online and bought a few games :)
It’s a good thing you started with the PC Engine. Now you’ll have something to collection when you’re done with the Super Famicom! :D
Keep at it!
There are so many GREAT games! Seriously you should get one! :D
I will probably finish PC Engine before Super Famicom (SNES) since I buy PC Engine more frequently and I like it more, however the Famicom (NES) I’m close to finishing ^^ got about 600 games for it now, and there were I think 1040 or something released for it.
I downloaded Star Parodier on the Wii virtual console, it’s an awesome game :D
oh cool! I’ve never used the online services of my Wii, neither my PS3.. only Xbox 360 ;D
damn I want to play it!! Gotta find me a duo!! ^^
Oh, you NEED a Duo soon! Too many great games (you’ll be surprised out of your socks) and great deals now on those games (as you’re seeing). I can’t wait to hear your impressions of Rondo of Blood and some of the shooters on the system…
I know! The one I was gonna buy wasn’t in as nice condition as we had hoped so now I’m back at looking for one >_<
The PC-Engine was so underrated, I don’t know how it didn’t get a larger following than it had at the time it was released. There are so many great games for it.
I know! I didn’t learn about it until recently, but I’m totally in love with it ^_^
SO many great games! :D
