PC Engine Screen-shot quiz

Dude, I recognize that thing 100%. While I can't place what game it is, I know that I own it. I can even picture it's animation.

Gunhed? Dungeon Explorer? 

Its the coolest boss in Dungeon Explorer. 

He jiggles all over the place shooting out different colored slimes.

I thought that I had actually chosen an easy one, instead of some random sprite from late in Kabukiden or something. 

I've got plenty more, but would anyone else ike to post the next one?

[nat]

I KNEW IT!!!  I love Dungeon Explorer. Like I said, I can even picture his animation in my head I just couldn't place it in context.

How about winners start next game? If y'all can wait three hours... I'm at work right now (hardly workin') and I don't have any Turbo screenshots handy. I'll post one first thing when I get home.

[Keranu]

Holy crap, I can't remember that boss too well off hand. Granted I've only probably fought him once though. He looks rad!

God, I haven't play DE in years.

[Black Tiger]

God, I haven't play DE in years.

Honestly, I haven't played through it in like 10 - 15 years. But back then I played it all the way through constantly, recording passwords for each level for each character.

I'll never forget the dungeons, bosses, music, etc. 

Especially the slime-jelly-crab thing.

Sounds good to me. Don't make it too easy. But don't go picking some tiny random sprite from a game noone's ever played either.

You and me both, man. I love the original DE. I'm actually in the process of playing through DE II right now. Thank heavens for REAL save game files in DE II. But yeah, back in the day I played the shit out of DE. It gets my vote for best music in a HuCard game, ever. I get chills sometimes when I hear it, to this day.

So on with the game.... Here's my pick. Hopefully this isn't too easy. No hints right off the bat.

Hmm...  Is this like some power-up item?

Parasol Stars?

[nat]

Not Parasol Stars. It is not an enemy or a character sprite, no. It is extremely common in the game it is from.

[Joe Redifer]

Some game where they throw Japanese hand fans at you?

[nat]

 

No. Actually, I always thought it was some kind of fruit. Or a banana split. Or something. I'm really studying it now and it actually doesn't look like any of those things, so I don't know.

It is not really an obscure game. It is an arcade port. That is all I am going to say for a while except for "Yes" and "No".

That's what I thought it was supposed to be, a banana with whip cream and a cherry on it. I took a quick look at a few games I thought it was from(arcade ports too), but it doesn't look like it's from them.

It looks very familiar, but it's the background thats throwing me off.

[Joe Redifer]

I keep wanting to say Twin Bee.

[guyjin]

magical chase?

[nat]

No, and no. Is Magical Chase even an arcade port?

[Tatsujin]

NHK okaasan to issho niko niko pun?
