Can Pcenginefx beat all licensed TurboGrafx-16 games in 2016/2017? (115/135)

[goldenband]

Agreed, let's finish the library! Then we can try to beat the whole enchilada in 2018. 

[Gentlegamer]

I blame lukester for this failure.

I've always wanted to play through Impossimole and Yo Bro!  Maybe this will be my year! 

Good job everyone on all the games that were conquered in 2016! 

[blueraven]

I never finished Adam's Family. I'm sorry.

 :oops:

[Punch]

Y's, bro.

Y's, bro.

[blueraven]

Y's, bro.

Your only prolonging the pain.

Here is the shameful 22 that remain.  For whatever reason these 22 games were left to the wayside by the masses at PCFX?  Can we beat JUST these games in 2017?  Should they be thrown down the shitter?  Should we consider ourselves failures?

Maybe, but I think if we took one or two of these and played through them, mayhaps even MASTER them, we could then have a good chance to beat 'em all in 2018!  Who's with me?!?!?

NOTE: I removed R-Type (Bardoly said he beat it, but hasn't taken pics yet) and my efforts with TV Sports Football and Theron's Quest.

Is SimEarth even "beatable"? I mean I never heard about anything about an ending in the PC version, and one of the scenarios is a simplified version of Lovelock's Daisyworld so how do you beat that one?

note about simearth: it is based upon the "gaia hypothesis" which doesn't have all that much credit in the scientific community but at least it makes for an interesting model for a videogame sim.

[nodtveidt]

There are only a few ways I can think of that would classify as "beating" SimEarth:

-Making the sun explode
-Causing the exodus on Venus
-Evolving robots

Soooo... a robot exodus on Venus followed by a supernova... that should do it.

I took on Drop Off, because I was really good at it 20 years ago... I am not good at it anymore.

Sports games are generally not all that popular, however aren't the most difficult to conquer either.

Be not afraid.

[esteban]

For 3-4 years I've been wait no for a former pcefx member to send me Jack Nicklaus CD.

I think it is time for my yearly email.

The only one of the remaining games that I have is Lords of the Rising Sun, and I remember being totally confused the last time I tried playing that game. I'm not sure I will be able to make a contribution this time.

[Punch]

Reminds me I have a savegame on my DUO with antoku saved. Lords of the Rising sun seems to be very lame and I'll explain why:

-Localization feels rushed and unpolished (using Syscard font, tons of spelling errors, tons of grammar errors, nonsensical text, REMOVED VOICE ACTING)

-Battle mode has zero depth and feels like a minigame (compare it with the original LOTRS which you can tell is way better just by a screenshot)



-Other minigames are nothing more than annoying gimmicks

-Horse pursuit minigame is aggravatingly annoying since you have a 1 in a 100000 chance to actually kill a general with "0 ARMY". More annoying is that sometimes you'll pursue the enemy general for hours on the map doing this minigame over and over and over with no end in sight (my youtube channel has an hour of doing just that in this game).

-Killing generals is POINTLESS aside from retrieving the endgame treasures, since when you kill a general the game literally waits 1 or 2 seconds to show you the message "ASDFGHJ HAS RAISED AN ARMY". Since the army is fully fledged and with max troops, you're basically giving all the troops you killed back to the enemy.

-There is no pause button on the map screen. THERE IS NO PAUSE BUTTON ON THE MAP SCREEN. Important stuff happens every 2 seconds and you take at least 5 to scan through the map so you can't keep track of all your units. THERE IS NO PAUSE. NO PAUSE! (there's the save screen that pauses the game but of course you can't view the map while in it)

This game is very aggravating. Yet I still want to finish it.
