PC Engine exclusives

[reliq]

Is there a list of exclusives games the consoles had during its lifetimes. by exclusive I mean games that were not arcade ports or were on other systems during the time the console was on the market
If a games was later ported to modern consoles I still count it as exclusive

There aren't any lists in English, as most English speakers people have no clue about hundreds of PC Engine games.

We can begin posting examples here to piece together the best list we can.

hmm, I think it'd be less time consuming to make a list of all the games that were ported - PCE had a lot of exclusives!

The problem is, there are games that are "ports" but can wind up as more of a re-imagining of the arcade version with the constraints of the system.  Not saying PCE is weak, but when you're trying to port a game from custom hardware to it there is going to be stuff cut, especially if it is on a HuCard.

I thought something like would exist already but I was wrong, I have been buying exclusive games for my NES/Famicom, and SNES/Super fami and I had the same problem looking for the same information
Well with Nintendo is easier considering Nintendo never puts their games on other consoles(with a few exceptions of course)
I will try to make a list for the PC Engine but I will focus on the Hu Cards for now, which is the ones I am interested
I hope I can share my findings here later

PCECP.com has a list of all of the games for PC Engine and TG-16. That might be a good start.

Dragon Knight II wasn't a PCE Exclusive, it came out on a bunch of computers beforehand. I guess that might go for a few others on that list too.

Same for Xak I & II.

popful mail is also not console exclusive (came out on sega cd)
but this is as good place to start, so I'll add some:

blood gear
shubibinman 1, 2, 3
every Face game except Ryuukyuu
PC genjin 1+2, 3/3CD
PC denjin/CD
keith courage / wataru
anesan


actually just looking through my collection it's kind of tiring, so I'm gonna stop for now

I guess OP doesn't count this but Bonks Adventure was ported to NES, Gameboy and Amiga

[Black Tiger]

Like my post said, those are console exclusives.

Popful Mail for PCE is an upgraded version of the computer game. The SFC and MCD Popful Mail games are not the same.

There is also a Xak game for SFC, but it is different from the PCE version and both don't look like any of the computer versions I've seen.

There are hundreds, many of which are lame as hell. I suggest you collect via some other high concept.

[Arkhan]

THE KUNG FU.

Duh.

[Necromancer]

There are hundreds, many of which are lame as hell.  I suggest you collect via some other high concept.

Ha!  That's exactly what I was thinking.

I guess it's cool to compile a list just for shits and giggles, but "exclusive" is a slippery term and hard to nail down.  Do PCs count?  Lots of PCE games are console exclusives but were first on PC-98, Towns, etc.  How much has to change for it to be an exclusive?  Ys IV is considered non-cannon and is quite different from the SNES game, but it does share most characters and plot points.

Anyways, here's a few more exclusives:

Air Zonk
Super Air Zonk
Star Parodier
Final Zone 2
Gate of Thunder
Alien Crush
Camp California
Chew Man Fu
Darkwing Duck
Talespin
Dead Moon
Dungeon Explorer 2
Cratermaze
