Games that should have been released on the Turbo
« on: April 01, 2015, 12:42:50 PM »
My vote goes to Super Contra.  A game that was not properly playable at home until its 2007 Xbox Live Arcade release.  The NES version was nearly unrecognizable compared to the Arcade.  The Super-CD ROM would have been a great platform for a faithful conversion, if Gradius II is any indication.

The screen format would have been a issue for a proper port, but yeah it would have been nice to see some kind of port of it on something other then the Nes.

Either TMNT arcade game.

Contra would be my second choice. I'd rather this hypothetical Contra not be a port though, and instead an original PC Engine game.

Disagree.

Konami ports on the SNES were some of their best.  This should have been on the SNES with Sunset Riders and TMNT 4.

I would loved to have seen Wizards and Warriors 1 - 3 on the TG16.

Also, The Goonies 2.... Loved the movie as a kid and the game for me was incredibly hard but I still beat it.

Last one, but seriously.... Endless hours were spent on Blaster Master.

Same answer each time this topic gets posted: Black Tiger.

Besides being one of the best games ever made and by far the greatest arcade game we'll ever see, a PCE SCD port could be identical, other than the shades of the colors.

SNES games are not all exclusives (see the examples you gave).

Which Konami 4-player arcade beat-em-up ports for the PC Engine lead you to believe that the PCE wouldn't do a better job than SNES?

I wish the Duo had seen a few arcade laserdisc ports. I know their appeal is limited, but I LOVE stuff like Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, Cliff Hanger, Cobra Command, etc.

The Sega CD got a bunch of these, plus a slew of more obscure titles like Road Avenger (awesome!) and Time Gal. I would have loved to see some of these on the Duo with its superior color palette.

Tetris, preferably Bonk themed.

Also, all the Falcom goodies that the PCE got should've been brought over (not that they would've been money makers - I'm just greedy), and I want Ys V too.

Ghost Manor is a Wizards & Warriors style game. I think that the main difference is that you don't get special item abilities and it transitions more like a so-called "Metroidvania" than a stage based game.

The character controls/physics and stage design is unmistakable though.

I would've wanted Metalstorm.  Irem gave the Turbo a lot of love, but we could've had so much more...
