the pce hu-cards that every pce owner should have?

[CosMind]

so, this will likely be a tough one.

what're the must-own pce hu-cards? (oh, ones that either don't have a u.s. version at all, or ones who's u.s. version is somehow really inferior)

i need to justify a potential investment in a dope region+svid modded duo-r

The games you definitely need to own are the ones you like and you feel have good re-playability   It's personal preference.

What types of games do you like?  Perhaps we can recommend some in the same genre.

really, any fun game that doesn't require knowledge of the japanese language to get through/fully enjoy.
honestly, i'm very open-minded.

For me at least:

Bonk's Revenge/PC Genjin 2:  I think it's one of the best platformers going and has awesome replay value
Gunhed/Blazing Lazers:  Fantastic vertical shooter.  Well balanced, nice graphics, fast, good sound
Alien Crash:  I'm a sucker for video pinball and this is my fav.  Devil's Crush is the same but different.  Time Cruise is cool too
Baseball games:  I love baseball and I find the Power League series (which World Class Baseball is the first game in)  to be a lot of fun.  The Namco baseball games (RBI Baseball is the first) are good too
Neutopia and Neutopia II:    best RPG going

Gomola Speed: If you like puzzle-action games, especially the classic Snake / Worm games, then you should give this a chance. Be forewarned, however, that you might get blisters on your left thumb (you have to circle your opponents and the direction pad gets a workout). This is a great game, IMO, that is rarely discussed, even here!

D-Lite and Keranu, did you notice that he asked for games that were unavailable or inferior on the Turbografx?

So, some recommendations:

After Burner II
Bomberman '94
Coryoon
Detana!! Twinbee
Final Soldier
Kyuukyoku Tiger
Out Run
Parodius
Salamander
Street Fighter II'
Valkyrie no Densetsu

[edit] I second Gomola Speed, though it may not be for everyone.  Esteban, did you know that I found several debug/cheat codes for the game?  Check out this link for the info: http://forums.magicengine.com/en/viewtopic.php?t=1821

I realized it right after I posted.  Oops
I syand by the baseball thing and also agree with your list.

Gomola Speed is very cool and is different than any game I've played.

All the must-haves other than SFIICE actually made it over here intact, so I guess thats one good thing NEC/TTI did.

I heartily disagree!  See ccovell's list for many Japan only gems, and don't forget the Arcade Card, Batman, Photograph Boy, Don Doko Don, and Image Fight.

[CosMind]

does valkyrie no densetsu require knowledge of japanese to play?

also, darius plus, or super darius?  i'm guessing that likely the only difference is the music - if so, are the tunes more preferable on the hu or disc rev?  if there are more differences than the music, what are they?

Didn't notice that, but I now that I think about it, I wonder if he meant "inferior" or "superior". Either way, J.J. and Jeff is superior to Kato and Ken .

[turbofan1]

As far as I remember SFIICE was never released for the TG-16.I agree with all the games that Covell suggested.And A couple others-Jigoku Meguri (aka Bonze Adventure) and Mizubaku Adventure (aka Liquid Kids).

Come on now, I hope you're kidding.  There's no pissing or farting in J.J. & Jeff.  I guess only japanese people piss and fart  :oops:

yes, the rest of the globe is a bit more polite - they only tinkle and toot.
