PC Engine (and FX) all shooter list (codename peacock)

[Tatsujin]

Override = DCTS: Dungeon Crawling Tank Shooter

HELL YES.

I'm going to use that in the official PCE list-o-shooters. You think I'm joking. I'm not.

Psycho Chaser is a shooter, of sorts. What sub-genre does it belong to?

Sorry, I was thinking of Metal Stoker.

Damn, I smelt something wrong here

Cross Wiber has shooter stages as well.






Does the PC Engine have more shooters-within-a-game than the SNES/SFC has shooters in general?

(1) Yes! Another one!

(2) Ha!, SNES/SFC was starved for shoot-em-ups, which is a damn shame.

This thread should be stickied. Aside from being worthwhile, it is also difficult to search for.


Faerie Dust Story contains vertical shooter segments (complete with only-on-SNES-full-screen-transparency effects), as well as Arkanoid, Pac Man and misc mini-games.

Check out 7:35 in this video:




Remember when FFVII was heralded as being so groundbreaking and content-filled for having a few simple mini-games? So many PCE games had more substantial bonus game content plus futuristic technology absent from FFVII and most Square games that generation, such as CD quality audio and voice acting.

Dude! Thanks for updating. I was trying to find this thread the other day and couldn't find it.

I gotta make a page with all of this info!

You do, as this still un-sticked thread was once again very hard to find.

Yup, I lost track of this thread, too.

I really will make a page, once I finish a project I'm on. 

PROMISE!

Please do! Because I'm tempted to just copy it all into a word document for now.

This thread still needs to be stickied. Maybe Necromancer can finally do it now that he has the power?


There are exclusive shooters in the Ultrabox series (at least vol 3 and 5).

I FORGOT ABOUT THIS!!!!

I am making a page, but I'll need help from folks gathering assets (screenshots, art) and fact-checking.

More importantly...WOOOHOOO! Shootemups.

ULTRABOX ULTRASHOOTEMBOX.

UPDATE: I actually have a 1-2 projects I am working on inspired by this thread. I'll be able to share with you soon. (I am not going to break my promise from 05.2014!)

I created a very clunky page ("just for me") but I am happy to share it with the 1-2 people who will find it useful.


CLARIFICATION: I still need clarification/2+ clean screenshots (no watermarks) of shoot-em-up segments in...

Fray (?)

Ultra box 3 & 5 (I'd like 2+ screenshots, no watermarks)

Ghost Manor (at least one additional screenshot of final boss battle...I already snagged one from Duomazov).

Etc.

Covell took some screenshots from an emulator so I don't have to capture stills from the video—yay!

Someone can correct any mistakes I make... But there aren't too many 2-player co-op...

Aeroblasters (special mega beam weapon only available when two player join together)

Forgotten Worlds (2 people control together...not a "true" 2-player co-op in the traditional sense)

Burning Angels?
Hellfire S?
Toilet Kids?
Detana! Twin Bee?

If we can get a definitive list of 2-player co-op, I'll add that to the table.

I have all ultraboxes
