I haven't yet because it won't be until after Christmas that I will own a PC-E.  I'm one of the few/only people that own a FX but no other NEC console.  I'm almost up to having 1/3rd of the FX library though and now have most of the games I will ever want for it.  The arcade version of Galaga '88 is what I am used to and I assume it is similar to the PC-E version.  Galaga '88 is also the only game I own for the PC-E right now, I bought it because I had to own it since I don't have an arcade machine in my apt.

Pffft!  Galaga '88 sucks hard - try '90, it's a whole two better.  :wink:

Something about calling it Galaga '90 just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.  The game feels so '80's to me, just a little more colorful.  It's also bizarre they called it Galaga '90 on a console when it was called Galaga '88 in the arcade :-k

It was all about marketing... the '90 verson was updated and Turbo-powered for the new decade!!

Yeah, who would want to buy a two-year-old outdated piece of garbage in 1990? It was the only way to sell copies of the game since in 1990 no one in their right mind would buy something with the year "1988" attached to it. Sheesh.

Great, I'm known for Steam Hearts ](*,)  And for the record it's still for sale.  Occassionaly I think about keeping it, just cuz it's a shmup, but, it's just not my cup of tea, & I don't like hentai, so, add that together, & walla walla Washington.  Hmm, as I was going thru the list, I didn't even think I'd make it, cuz, I really don't know what I would be associated with.  I know I'm probably the biggest Impossamole fan here(not that I think it's perfect) as it's quite underated IMO :D  But yeah, Turbo D & Zonk go together like uh, baseball & apple pie!

It is truly amazing how much damage a sub-par game did to Turbo-grafx sales.

my icon was bomberman for years, so I would hope people associate me with that. 'cuz bomberman is awesome.

and Od, as far as I'm concerned, you're a newb.  :wink: I think there's only one other person who still posts here that's been here longer than me. (other than pcenginefx himself, of course.)

Most of the choices on that list are the same I'd pick. The one major difference being that I always think of Chris Covell and Tongue Man's Logic. :wink:
