my memory is sketchy but didn't the mastersystem have a good conversion of GFII??

I think its a good game but not classic but I would much more welcome a Galaxy Force II than thunder blade conversion...

I agree with Tatsujin and can hardly believe that the pics come from the SG hardware.
I wonder how far they got with that game or if they even startet the technical part.
Maybe anyone here knows more about it...

Besides GF2 my favorites are clearly Meikyuutou Special, wich seemed to be almost finished, and PC Cocoron. Maybe one day someone dumps the roms.

Dream on ...

I think scans of Galaxy Force 2 and PowerConsole are from me.

There are about 100 unreleased PCE games, and about 50 with photos.

please post them. all of them

Xexex would have been a nice addition to the PCE. Too bad Konami didn't go through with it. Hell, they coulda skipped Martial Champion and I'm pretty sure no one would have minded.

So yeah, PCE got Martial Champion instead of say:

Ajax
Gradius III
Contra
Xexex
Gokujou Parodius (on CD)
many others.

All pictures will be in the book I am writing with friends, you can see it soon.
Here some HuCARDs unreleased :
There are some unreleased SGX (more than Strider or GFII) Forgotten Worlds, Dragon Breed,... and a lot of NEC Avenue projets.
Hudson Projects like ChikiChiki Grand prix, Bike, RPC Genjin, Dynamite Ball, Doreamon 2, Golf,....
And nice projets like Dino Force, Batman (Sunsoft), Jaseiken Necromancer 3, Tsushin Tool, TV Sport Baseball, Popils,....

GF2 on the Master System got some really good reviews. I bought it and it was a big letdown. Afterburner and Space Harrier were much better. The only thing really going for it was the cool music on a couple of the levels.

@Thibaut:
All the pictures were directly scanned from my own PCE mags. I guess you got the same ones

The GF2 scans come from PCEngine Fan around Jan./Feb. 1991
I'm very looking forward for your book.
Hope you let us all know about the release date.

Regards,

The PCE did a pretty good job with Afterburner, and Space Harrior, but Galaxy Force II? No way, man. That would have just been embarrassing. Not quite as bad as Double Dragon for 2600 maybe, but on a game like GFII the draw of graphics (and/or the R360) versus gameplay is about 80/20. If you take away the graphics then...what's the point?

I think the Mega CD could have done a nice job though. Just look at those scaling based games like Battlcorps, and Soulstar.

Ok

What are please the date of mags from the scans Splendid Saga, Xexex (CD games ?) and Survival runner ?
Thanks

herr-g · « **Reply #25 on:** October 21, 2006, 04:48:25 AM »

Splendid Saga: 8/90
Xexex: 5/93
Survival Runner: Not quite sure. Something around and of 1990. If you want to, i can take a deeper look the next days.
All three scans are from PCEngine Fan.

It´s perfect ! Thank you.

Splendid Saga looks cool. I can't get enough of generic, mediocre, ugly RPGs.

I wish that one got released, it looks just like one of those games.

Forgotten Worlds is the best Capcom arcade to home port of the 16-bit generation and Side Arms PCE HuCard is arcade superior.

and don't forget daimakaimura

In my opinion, visually Daimakaimura would be a shoddy port for PC Engine. They didn't really do much to clean up the graphics and the sprites are pretty low color.

In fact, the graphics in Daimakaimura lead me to believe that Strider ACD may very well be leftovers from a SuperGrafx port by NEC Ave, because Strider looks about the same and maybe better overall.

Just because it actually ports a lot of the arcade's graphics instead of being completely redrawn and simplified like the highly praised Megadrive version, it's gotten a reputation over the years as being pretty special.

Mostly because all the magazines and the few early SGX players went on about how it was way better than the MD version, which already had the reputation of being arcade perfect.

I would've prefered a port looking like Forgotten Worlds(nearly identical) with static bgs, but really the PCE could've given us both.

1941 is a great SuperGrafx port, but it was made by Hudson an again, it's nothing the PCE couldn't do.

Don't worry, Seldane's way ahead of you.
