The Legendary Ax II, the music alone makes it worth it.
Bloody Wolf, who can't love this game, wish it was 2 player but other than that.
Blazing Lasers, such an amazing effort for an early title.

Great to see some Bloody wolf, Some people bash this game for some odd reason, i think most dont realise its an arcade port and a damn near perfect one too.

+1 for Bloody Wolf, I actually like it more than the arcade board.

It's a fine port,but i all ways disappointed it lacked a 2p while the arcade original has it.

The only differences are that both versions have a different color palette, and Turbo version is better in gameplay in some ways (like shotgun boss).

The arcade board was very similar to the Turbo. I'm surprised Bloody Wolf was the only port.

Le Wülfblüd is fun. I need to dust it off & play it soon.

[Retrocool]

Ys Book 1 & 2
Cosmic Fantasy 2
Splatterhouse
Alien Crush
Devils Crush
Splashlake

[Black Tiger]

Too many to list, not just games I think are great, but games I really would chose over all platforms. The big one obviously is TM/FEOE Fuun Kabuki Den, which never gets old.


Bloody Wolf is actually arcade-superior, with double the framerate, infinitely better soundtrack, double(?) the length and bonus modes to keep it interesting for longer. The arcade version shouldn't have been released as-is. The PCE version isn't really a port, since the arcade runs on PCE hardware, except the sound, which wasn't ported.
