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

[esteban]

[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

stevek666 is my other moniker . As I posted at magicengine, I was tempted to cheat and see the ending, but I couldn't do that. One of these days I'll finish the game the old-fashioned way... then I'll have fun with the debug codes .

Now, Horror Story & Chris' Adventure (Hihou Densetsu Kris No Bouken), those are two games that have been frustrating the h*ll out of me (maybe I'm losing my skills, or perhaps its too humid in New Jersey, but progress has been slow and painful for me). I wouldn't mind dabbling with debug/cheat codes for them... but I won't.

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.

I assume that by 'must-haves', CosMind is looking for a list of some of the more enjoyable HuCards that stand out from the rest of the good ones. Otherwise, listing the crappy HuCards would make a shorter list.

I started a list, before quickly realizing that they were all also on Turbo.

does valkyrie no densetsu require knowledge of japanese to play?

Yes it does because there are some npcs that ask you questions and you need to get the right answer otherwise you be sent back a bit on that stage.. but you can get round it with trial and error.  The real hard bit is killing that last boss which I'm having difficulty with..

Oh I also wanna add:

Gradius
I'll second Salamander (basically next the to the MSX version the pce's has fantastic music not to mention its one of the hardest shmups)
Bomberman '93 (mostly because out of all the bomberman HUcard games imo this has the best BGM's although '94 has the graphics and presentation)
Splatterhouse (japan version since its uncensored)
Devil Crash/crush
Magical Chase
Parasol Stars
Dungeon Explorer
Hana Tahka Dakka!?! (hope i spelt that right)
Bloody Wolf

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

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 .

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:

Nope not kidding. I prefer the J.J. and Jeff characters and the spray attack method (it's a lot easier and funner to use than having to turn your character around to rip ass). And as far as the piss thing is concerned, I think it's a lot funnier that the character just stands there bouncing up and down without piss coming out ! It's like "WTF is he doing!?". Perhaps it's even more extreme and he is humping a light pole or something!

Yeah this is something I have always agreed with too. We missed out on a ton of great CD games, but there are only a few REALLY good HuCard games we didn't get.

I also prefer JJ & Jeff to KC & KC.

[Turbo D]

I like jj and jeff better too. Kerano makes a great point 

[Keranu]

Sweet and I thought it was only Black_Tiger and me who preferred J.J. and Jeff over Kato and Ken Chan! I'll have to make an article about it for my site sometime.

Oh, lord.

Me three! The reason I prefer JJ & Jeff is because the characters are so "Americanized" -- I love 'em! JJ & Jeff, great names.

[D-Lite]

I'm sticking with the farting.

[TR0N]

And A couple others-Jigoku Meguri (aka Bonze Adventure) and Mizubaku Adventure (aka Liquid Kids).

All most valid but you can get those two on,Taito Legends 2 for the PS2 

Still there worth it if ya don't have a PS2.

I have Liquid Kids for the PCE not a bad port.. but it is missing some background scrolling effects.

Yep! This isn't to say that I don't like Kato & Ken Chan because I do, but the Americanized (actually I like to think of J.J. & Jeff as "Canadianized" for some reason) characters just really get me going!

If they Canadianized it, they would have kept the scatological humor and called it Terrance and Phillip.

I'm sorry if I sound R-Tarded, but is this for Japanese PC Engine Hucard releases only? 

I think must haves are:
SFII: Champion Edition
Gradius
Dragon Egg!
Corinpa


As far as US Turbo Chip games:
Order of the Griffon
Air Zonk
Bloody Wolf
Legendary Axe II


just the top 4's for ya :-"
