I voted for Kato chan & Ken chan. I would've picked Bikkuriman World, but it retains the cheapness and quarter stealing bs of the arcade.

Kato and Ken all the way. The game set the mood for all the weird-ass PC releases yet to come.

Bikkuri for me.  Sure it's tough and a bit cheap, but that's also it's arcade-esgue charm.

I'm logging a protest vote in the form of The Kung Fu. I kinda thing all these games are sucky.

shanghai would be a better protest vote, since there are people who actually like the kung fu.

If Bikki whatever was the first wonderboy then i've played that one too.

The second, Wonderboy in Monsterland as it's known in the US.

The Kung Fu for sure. All of these games were pretty primitive, but at least The Kung Fu had a killer sprite engine and is probably the only "garbage storm" game to ever be released on a console.

Shanghai got no love, which is funny, because that would've been my pick if Wonderboy wasn't an option. I can't believe people don't like Shanghai.

Wow, finally a poll where J.J. & Jeff / Kato & Ken Chan is in the lead! You I know I voted for it, as usual 8) . Then again I have a feeling if the Japanese version was the same as the American version, then it would've got less votes.  :evil:

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Ug.  Those choices make my head hurt.  It's safe to say I would not have bought the system in 1987.
