Favorite Namco PCE game?

[lukester]

These threads are always fun

Namco made a whole bunch of fun HuCards, but there were also some generic stinkers! Which will come out on top?

My picks are

Galaga 88
Splatterhouse
Samurai Ghost

I do have a soft spot for Bravoman but it just isn't good enough

[Michirin9801]

I'm not a big fan of Namco in general, but I did enjoy Valkyrie no Densetsu quite a bit! It's the closest thing to Etoile Princesse that I know on the PC engine, even if it's not quite as good as that, but it's still pretty fun! Good music too, also, gotta love those scaling sprites ;3

My other two picks were Samurai Ghost and Bravoman, which I tend to think of as guilty pleasures, but what probably does it for me in them is the parallax scrolling, I mean seriously those games tried SO hard to do parallax I can't help but respect it! And it doesn't look THAT bad right? I mean, at least Samurai Ghost is better than Ernest Evans...

Also, I know Splatterhouse is a classic and all, but it just didn't quite do it for me... Sorry ^^';

Final Lap Twin
Pac Land
Galaga '90

Final Lap Twin would "go for" $300+ today if it had been released by Nintendo for SNES. But unlike Earthbound, it's actually a great game (the RPG mode at least). The arcade mode is also fun and good for playing on the Express/GT.

Pac Land and especially Galaga '90 are timeless classics.

Umm, I respectfully disagree, and I don't really see the comparison...

Difficult to choose only three, but I went with Final Lap Twin, Valkyrie no Densetsu, and Yokai Dochuki.
Which ones are the "generic stinkers?"

[Digi.k]

Valkyrie no Densetsu and Tower of Druaga because they have a good chunk of satifying gaming to them.

Genpei toumaden; out of all their arcade ports for the pc engine this one is almost arcade perfect

[esteban]

Jesus. Picking only three.

(Damn...)

[turboswimbz]

FINAL LAP TWINN = OH SO GUT

WONDA MOMO = DA BOMBB  - I just like this silly game.

DRAGON SPIRT = FUN FUN FUN FUN

I also like galaga, world court tennis and Splatterhouse.


Also no world court Tennis = fail

1: Dragon Spirit (I'm amazed how underrated this game is among PCE enthusiasts)
<1:
Splatterhouse
Galaga  88
Final Blaster
Final Lap
Valkyrie
Dragon Saber

Namco made so much good stuff for the PCE, and their box art was tops as well.

[Necromancer]

My votes went to Splatterhouse and Galaga (the Namco games I've played and loved the most) and to Wonder Momo because I like to role play that I'm the perv trying to get an upskirt pantsu shot.

[Arkhan]

why can't I pick Wonder Momo 3 times?

[exodus]

Fun to see peoples' different choices! I went with:
Splatterhouse (I love it - I prefer it to the arcade version too, but probably because I played it first. Also I realized I've played this game so many times that when my girlfriend was playing it I was actually able to give her lots of tips, haha)

Samurai Ghost (I just like the multi-directional sword and super weird vibe)

Youkai Douchuuki (what a cool and weird game with so many small arcane variants to what you can do - I want to know what cabbage things of it, since you chose it too!)

[seieienbu]

I picked Splatterhouse, Valkyrie Densetsu, and Youkai Dochuki.

Honorable mention would go to Dragon Spirit, Galaga 88, and Final Lap Twin.

[Digi.k]

Youkai Douchuuki (what a cool and weird game with so many small arcane variants to what you can do)

I was thinking about choosing Yokai too since it was this game that sold me on getting the pc engine.  I love the graphics and audio of this game and it's so weird.  My only problem today is that I always have to disconnect any multi player adapter before playing and this also involves the wireless receiver as it stops the game from booting up.
