Hey everyone!
Curious, what are some great games to get me hooked in on the TurboGrafx-16 or TurboGrafx-CD awesomeness?

I've been a owner of a TurboDuo for a couple weeks now (which is neat since the manufacturing date was 10/1992 and I got it 10/2012 so 20 its year anniversary I got the system) I've been playing some of what I think are some must haves like Dracula X and Splatterhouse but I'm sure there are more great ones out there

The ones I'm dying to play are Ghost Manor, Neutopia, Neutopia II, and Loom (just working on getting any of those for a decent price)

looking for any suggestions ^-^
Blazing Lasers looks good too, but I'm not much into scrolling shooters, I do love Puzzle games and RPGs

Exile (action RPG) and Cosmic Fantasy 2 (traditional RPG) are must-haves.

EDIT: Cadash (action RPG) too... all three were brought over by the same company (Working Designs).

Thanks for the suggestions!! That reminds me, the games anyone sugests should be english friendly :P

I don't speak or read japanese..... YET! (going to get rosetta stone and attempt to learn so I can play the PCE-CD version of Snatcher, sure I could just play my SegaCD version, but its way better unaltered and censored like it is on the PCE)

From your other thread, It appears that you don't mind non-legit copies. You may not know that a multicart exists for the Turbografx/PC-Engine. This allows for you to play all but 1 game, iirc.

Worth the purchase.

Game wise, I suggest Dungeon Explorer 1 & 2, Tricky Kick, Dragon's Curse, Last Alert, Bloody Wolf, and Shockman.
Hey, you.

China Warrior or I will punch your nutsack until you cry.  It is the greatest Kung Fu experience outside of getting kicked in the teeth by Bruce Lee himself.


Also, you need Keith Courage, Bonk's Adventure, Parasol Stars, and Legendary Axe.  

Definitely get Parasol Stars.   if you're into puzzles, you might like Tricky Kick and Boxy Boy.   It's just one of those "Figure out the right order" games for Tricky Kick, and Sokoban for Boxy Boy.    Fun stuff.


Every game is a must have.  who are we kidding.  Get any game you can find. they're all worth playing.

Quoted for the truth.

Alien Crush & Devil's Crush if you like pinball.

Time Cruise is a great pinball sim too. The system doesn't have any "bad" pinball games... they're all good. Time Cruise is especially cool because it breaks the standard pinball model by engaging in many different types of minigames, such as a marble labyrinth and a minigolf game.

Legendary Axe, Parasol Stars.

I have heard that Ghost Manor is the opposite of fun, but maybe I'm thinking of a different one.

I do not mine non-legit stuff, but I still prefer to have the real deal as well. I normally go non-legit to "demo" a game or for travel use

I have a EverDrive device for my SNES which I use to play games on the go with my SupaBoy (just eaiser to travel with), other than that I still collect the real carts.

Currently I'm working on getting a Turbo Express (trying to trade some of my N64 stuff for one) in which case a Turbo Everdrive will be awesome.

Ha ha ha!

And I'm surprised you let someone else push your game, Insanity.  Come on man, guerilla marketing!   :D
