Ok, so.  I haven't been into Japanse HuCards much since first turning on my Turbo Grafx in 1991.  I've got the requisite CD/SCD's that one would expect from overseas.  But for HuCards, I've only had Heavy Unit, SF2CE, and most endearingly, Bomberman 94.

Fast forward to last week.  I just fired up Bomberman 94 for the first time in, 10 years.  I played the first level in "Normal Game" and I was pleasantly shocked at how crisp and vibrant the game is for circa 1994.

Are there any other games HuCard games that are as good a feast for the eyes??  I once read where Parodius was a wonderful game, but that's about it.  I figured you guys would definately have some recommedations.

PS.  Is battle Lode Runner as addicting in multiplayer as Bomberman 94?

I'm more of a CD person, but my limited experiece hasn't turned up much that looks as good as B-Man '94. Hana Tahka Daka (did I get that right?) is super pretty, and Coryoon is nice too. '94 might have them all beat though.

Hana Taka looks nice but not as good as Bomberman 94.

I don't know if you're interested in HuCards with good/great graphics or 'cute' graphics, but here're some nice looking Hu's-

Cuter, more like BM'94:

Magical Chase (better than BM'94)
Blue(Aoi) Blink
Hana Taka Daka
Air Zonk
Neutopia II
Bonk 2
Genji Tsushin Agedama
New Adventure Island
Coryoon
Detana Twinbee
Alice in Wonderdream
Liquid Kids


Some other nice graphic games that aren't super cute:

Soldier Blade
Super Star Soldier
Gunhed
Aeroblasters
Gradius
Salamander
Tatsujin
Alien Crush
Cross Wiber

Black_Tiger's list definitely contains games I would've said. I'd also include Dodge Danpei, which looks a tad worse than Bomberman '94.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).
