Would you rather have a SuperGrafx or a PC-FX?

[Necromancer]

The thing is, if the five SGX games weren't SGX games, if they ran exactly as-is on a regular PCE, the only one I *might* actually buy would be Makaikura. I'm pretty sure the same is true for almost everyone, whether they admit it or not.

Surely you jest.  1941 and Aldynes are dang good shewties that any shmup fan would gladly add to his collection.

I'd buy Battle Ace if it were a PCE game.

I must not be a shooter fan then. I don't own any of the 194x series games. I find them rather bland.

Actually, that's not true, I do own, I think, one of them on a Capcom Generations disc.

Battle Ace > Aldynes

I went with SGX in this vote.

I've been down the PCFX road before and it just collected dust.  That isn't to say i wouldn't bite on another one some day for a steal.  I'd just rather own a Supergrafx!!  Those extra 4 games are the only PCE games I don't have access to currently with only having a Duo that can play everything else.  ^.^

I'm surprised by the results here. The SGX is such a novelty. The FX is much more like a real system to me. I guess that's because game library size is pretty much everything to me.

The PC-FX is pretty much only for people who can understand Japanese.  The Super Grafx is for anyone.

I don't own either, but I do plan on getting a Super Grafx some day.

I can understand that point of view, but I think technically the PC-FX still has more titles which don't require Japanese to be enjoyed... by a hair. I think people may be just a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of games which they find to be completely unplayable. It's an issue of just buying those games which can be enjoyed then.
Battle Heat
Zenki
Chip Chan Kick
Zeroigar
Tengai Makyou
Queen of Queens
Rururi Rarura (though I'm not sure anyone can 'enjoy' this one)
Pia Carrot (with English patch)
Edit: Akazukin Chacha

Also, if you can tolerate missing out on the story the following are also possible:
Der Langrisser FX
Farland Story FX
Last Imperial Prince (with walkthrough)
Team Innocent (with walkthrough)

If you're looking for action, I think the choice is clear.

Aldynes, 1941, Daimakaimura, Granzort and Battle Ace are probably going to give you higher quality, longer lasting playtime than Zeroigar, Zenki and CCK. The PC-FX may have 59 other games on top of those three, but none of them are full-blooded action games.

I've spent more time with Aldynes alone than I have with the entire PC-FX library, minus the time I've spent testing Zeroigar videos.

[KingDrool]

I have both, but if I could only have one (and I already had a PC Engine/Duo/whatever) I'd keep the PC-FX. I don't play it much, but I do get a good bit of enjoyment out of it when I dust it off.

[thesteve]

i dont have the SG, but i do most of my obey on a modded express
when i do pull out a home sys its more oft than not the FX for zeroigar

[ccovell]

Already have wangus balaenis and a SGX, but I still wouldn't want a PC-FX.  Just an anime-coated doorstop.

[kazekirifx]

While I do like both systems, I have to admit both were sad missteps by NEC. Both had too few improvements over the PCE, and the improvements are not really all in the right areas.

[motdelbourt]

PC-FX looks sooo boring. I don't know that the Super Grafx looks cool, but it looks interesting.

I'm not at all familiar with the PC-FX library so I'd go with that. I'm interested in, JB Harold, or anything I could find with a bit of English. But from what I've seen, Aldynes seems to be better than the sum total of all PC-FX games.
