What are your top 5 platform games for the TG-16/PC Engine?
« on: August 08, 2014, 03:46:21 AM »
So following on from "What are your top 5 shoot 'em up games for the TG-16/PC Engine"
http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=16970.0

Here's a new one, what are your top 5 platform games for the TG-16/PC Engine?

Mine are:
1. Akumajou Dracula X - Chi No Rondo
2. Jackie Chan           
3. Kato Chan & Ken Chan
4. Adventure Island / Dragon's Curse     
5. Legend Of Hero Tonma


I found this list harder to choose than the top 5 shoot 'em ups. With the shooters I knew straight away what games I wanted to pick, I had to think a bit more with the platformers.

Here's a few honourable mentions:
Ninja Spirit
Takahashi Meijin No Shinboukenjima / New Adventure Island          
Jigoku Meguri
Mizubaku Daibouken
Son Son II

(based on my person experience and off the top of my head)
Legendary Axe
Ninja Spirit
Dracula X
Bonk
Cadash

I'd like to play Fiend Hunter again to get an updated opinion but I can't make it thought the intro anymore! New Adventure Island looks super nice, but it's not enough game play for me to put it on a top 5.

Thought this was an excellent game, I was considering it for my number 5 spot.

Based on limited games I've played

1) Bonk's Revenge
2) Bonk's Adventure
3) Ninja Spirit
4) Legendary Axe

Just picked up Dracula-X and it's quickly climbing that list.  There was a loose Jackie Chan hucard in the bundle I bought.  Haven't yet given that any attention .. but based Otaku might need to find some time in my busy gaming schedule to put some time into it.

Never played Adventure Island .. will have to pick that off the Everdrive I guess for now.

Enemy respawns are also more of a bitch in the PCE version.

The best has already been posted by everyone else, but I think Bonk's Revenge deserves the top spot.  Did anyone post Shockman yet?  I enjoyed playing through that one.

Splatterhouse
I couldn't make up my mind whether this was a platform game or a scrolling beat 'em up.
