So what is everyone's top 5 PCE games? I know a lot of people's answers will probably be the obvious choices but I would be interested as to why you have chosen them. Please list them in order, number 1 being your top pick.

That game really is tricky!  ;_;


Just the hucards for now...

Bomberman 94 -
I much prefer the music in 93 and the first bomberman.  But this one just has a lot of polish and much better presentation.  The 5 player battles is really where it is at but even the single player story mode is great fun.

Magical Chase -
There is just something about this game that I truly find a magical element to it.  I had owned this long before it was known to be rare and pricey and even back then I was wooed by its charms.  I just think some of those music tracks along with the simple but clever 2D tricks that make the graphics really stand out. Gameplay is tight and solid once you understand the strategy of using Ripples Topsy and Turvy star options.

Valkyrie no Densetsu - 
This game has a lot of meat to the gameplay and its a somewhat lengthy affair the music is great too and although the arcade gameplay and graphics have been chopped somewhat.

Daichikun no Crisis - 
A harvest moon type game with strategy elements and simplistic farm sim in one game.  It's got a lengthy playtime and has some originality to the gameplay which makes it quite a unique title.

Tower of Druaga -
great dungeon crawling goodness and lengthy play time, tricky puzzles. The english translation patch adds immensely

Ys. Everything about the series is absolutely fantastic. Music I listen to on the way to work. Action that mixes the best of what makes Zelda and Diablo so addictive today, but we got it all yesterday!
1. Keith Courage. Love this game so much. Nostalgia Goggles for certain.
2. Street Fighter 2. Wowed that it was on PC Engine back in the day. One of my all time favorite games on any console/arcade/PC/etc.
3. Gunhed. Really feels like I'm playing an arcade game at home when I turn this one on.
4. Soldier Blade. That Music!
Keith Courage is #1. Alpha Zone inhabitant for life. Thanks to this forum for rejuvenating and continuing my interest in all things Obey.

1. Gate of Thunder - I go back and forth as to whether this or M.U.S.H.A. on the Genesis is my favorite shmup.
2. Dragon's Curse - A very underrated early Metroidvania and one of my favorites of the genre.
3. Seirei Senshi Spriggan - Some of Compile's best work.
4. Devil's Crush - This is how you do pinball in a video game.
5. Gomola Speed - Bizarre, inventive, and a blast to play.  I wish we saw more games this creative.
