Best TG-16 / PCE 2D Platformers?
« on: May 16, 2012, 06:14:49 AM »
Like the title says - What, in your guys opinion, are the best 2D platfomers on TG-16/PC Engine?

I already have the Bonk games, Kieth Courage (of course), and my treasured copy of Dracula X. I've tried a couple in the past whose names escape me but I wasn't impressed (Bravoman maybe? Not sure.) I play a fair amount of Mario, Kirby, DK ect. and some XBLIG platformers and wondered if I'm missing some gems on my TG-16. Please be objective. If the game is meh and you know it don't bother. I'll probably feel the same way. If it's quality though please post it.

Thx!!!

Seconding Jackie Chan, an awesome platformer
Kato & Ken (JJ & Jeff in the US)
Jigoku Meguri
Ninja Gaiden
Legenday Axe I/II

The gameplay styles are different than Nintendo platformers but excellent in their own right.

Ninja Spirit is also excellent.

I finally got around to trying Darkwing duck yesterday, thinking 'how bad can it be'? Unplayable turd is an accurate description.

New Adventure Island is right up there with Bonk's Revenge for me. Also, I haven't played Son Son II but it sure looks like fun!

Yes, it is. One of the best on the system. More of a run n gun than a platformer, but definitely worth checking out!!

Fausette Amour is a great game and a lot of fun.

Blue Blink is popular.

Rainbow Islands is an amazing port of the arcade.

Wow a lot of replies so quickly! Thanks everyone.

In my haste I forgot to mention I have Legendary Axe and am familiar with LA 2. Ninja Spirit I do like a lot but - right or wrong - I don't usually think of as a platformer.

I saw a bunch of games you guys listed that I wasn't familiar with. That's exactly what I was hoping for  :mrgreen:

I forgot to ask if you could specify HuCard or CD/SuperCD.

Would Tiger Road be considered a platformer? I quite enjoy the game though I seem to be in the minority.

I took a quick peek on YT. It looks like a cross between a side scrolling schmup and a platformer. Interesting.
