A small list, but I have chosen Kato Chan & Ken Chan. After all, it is supposedly a very humorous game, and it was available in the US as the "lovable" J.J. and Jeff game for the TurboGrafx-16. The other titles, including The Kung Fu which came in second, are not as remotely interesting or even of high quality.

I am wondering, too, Guyjin, if you were doing something special with the results from these "Turbo/PC Engine Game of the Year" topics? A thought like this had occurred in my mind :P.

I voted for Bikkuri World because it is actually pretty good.

No, that's what I voted for the day I posted that I thought they were all pretty meh games.  I just neglected to say what I voted for.  Even in a turd sandwich, you might be able to find one good bite if you are really pressed to find it. :lol:

I do wish though that the game took up more of the screen.  It seems like it could have been a LOT better.

It's a 1:1 port of the arcade version. That's how the arcade is. It's up there with R-Type for arcade-correctness if you forget they changed the boss characters.

Even the music is 1:1.

I'm not blaming the port.  I did think it was close to the arcade version though, I didn't know it was 1:1 though.

It really is, except for the bosses. It might be the closest port in terms of arcade accuracy out of the system's entire game library.

Bikurriman Worlds ends where Dragon's Curse begins- so that's my pick.

That's just like I thought. I am anticipating for this ultimate showdown, and what it'll be like 8).

The PCE version actually takes up more of the screen than the arcade version.
