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:

I'm sure that KC&KC/JJ&J would top some negative polls. :wink:

The thought already crossed my mind :( .

Actually I do love Shanghai. I used to play this version Windows back in the mid-90's all the time and the PCE version has some amazingly catchy tunes.

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.

I totally agree with you Joe.  These games (for the most part) leave a taste on my tongue worse than a mouth full of flaming impossamole or whatever the freak that game is.

haha..you ignorants!! those games were the killers back then.

the kung fu = bigger sprites than many arcade games ever showed up with until that time.
bikkuri world = 1:1 100% perfect arcade wonderboy II (except of some of the sprites).
victory run = best console racer released until that time.
kato & ken = a pure living game, great dynamic, fast, funny jokes and something completely new for its time.
shanghai = if you like that kind the game, it's fun.

I agree with Tatsujin. For a three month period of games during the launch of a new system in 1987, it was a pretty impressive line up all considered.

it's just kinda boring, like Solitaire for the PCE.

Yeah, I can't stress enough how awesome Wonderboy II is. Obviously you people haven't actually played it for any length of time.

I voted for Victory Run. It's the only game I own of the five.
