Pick one licensed title you would've like to see on the Turbo

[Mathius]

Maybe it's too much to ask just to pick one.  They can be either a bespoke/unique port or imagined.

 I personally would've like to have seen a moody Jurassic Park digi comic similar to JP on the Sega CD, but with only hand drawn animation rather than grainy FMV.

A port of Terminator 2 (again, Sega CD) that was left in the oven for an extra year to add polish.

The TG16 desperately needed more licensed tie-in games, to compete with the NES. Boomer parents were buying NES consoles because of Back to the Future, Ghostbusters and Jaws games, not original titles like The Guardian Legend or Crystalis.

That said, what I would have loved to see is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game for the TG16. Given Konami did eventually put out some PC Engine games, I don't see why they couldn't have done a TMNT game for it, unless their TMNT contract restricted games to only Nintendo systems...

TMNT woulda been sweet, preferably an original game.

Also cool would've been a bad ass beat-em-up port of Simpsons or X-Men.

As a sietch nerd, I'd love a port of Dune II.  It plays quite nicely on FEKA.

I've never really been into most licensed games as I already know the story of said game because I already saw the movie. Most licensed games from the 80s/90s just had you doing the exact same stuff you just saw in the movie or cartoon, which was dumb. Give me a new idea.

With that being said, a "Robocop" game or a side scrolling "Batman" game would have been nice. Oh, or "The Last Starfighter" shooter could have been sweet! But that movie was old by the time the TG16 was launched.

[Naniyue]

Voltron, with game play aspects from Kiaidan 00 and Godzilla?

Blackstar, or even Thundarr, in his own PCE platforming RPG?

[seieienbu]

A 4 player Konami brawler would've been sick.  If there'd been a port of The Simpsons that would've sold some units, imo.

[Mathius]

Oooh, I forgot about The Simpsons. TMNT would've rocked too. A more prolific Konami on the Engine is never a bad thing.

I was a HUGE "The Last Starfighter" nut growing up and it was a shame that we only got one renamed port of the C64's Uridium on the NES. A true port of the movie's arcade game was really needed back then.

A He-Man game for TG16 feels really fitting, I bet that would have sold heaps. Heck, could have taken some Japanese game and reskinned it as He-Man, maybe use Wonder Momo for it.

I'm still trying to track the information down, but I do recall an egm that went into detail about a variety of license properties becoming games in the North American Market. I recall Total Recall, Alien versus Predator, Die Hard, among other things. But since I was several decades ago, there's probably some that I'm incorrect on.

Die Hard was likely referring to the game that was released in Japan by Pack-In-Video. Total Recall, on the other hand does have a small blurb that you can find on games that weren't.com that may or may not be specifically talking about a game for the tg16. There's been no more information since then on that one.

Here's the link for Total Recall along with the canceled Paradroid 90. https://www.gamesthatwerent.com/2020/08/paradroid-90-and-total-recall-graftgold/

While they're not my main interest, Turbo may have benefited from decent to good sports games with licenses sorta like Sega was doing. Something that pushed the Turbo Tap and got people hyped for some "next gen" sports at the time.

Instead Turbo had generic sports games that were pretty bad.

[HuDuo]

you know what the Turbo really needed?

5 player multi tap built-in. Could have been the N64 of the 16-bit generation, developers would have been heavily incentivized to make more 5 player games knowing the USA model had that support built right into the console.

(yes the ports would have had to be the smaller mini-din size but how would that have been a bad thing?)

definitely would have made for some incredible advertising potential too. Does YOUR 16-bit console have 5 controller ports built-in? We didn't think so.

[Gentlegamer]

"built in" Turbo Tap would have justified the larger TG-16 size

[lukester 3.0]

truthfully, the system needed an actual DBZ fighting game.
the real time turn based one is interesting, but not anything that follows up on SF2 fever like the butouden series did.
