shouldn't we better consider r-type part 1 & part 2 as one game?

Galaga '90, though I should vote for my brethren.

I bet they could've done it on one card, but it would've killed their profits or been prohibitively expensive.  Maybe not.

For some reason I kinda liked the '87 game selection more  :mrgreen: . My "true" vote would go for Galaga '88, just bareldy edging past Alien Crush and Space Harrier, but I voted for No-Ri-Ko since no one is going to vote for it and that it's a (lack of) game I have been dying to play!

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

Ah, of course. From this list, I have picked one of the first PC Engine games I have grown fond of and have ever met, which is Dragon Spirit.  It certainly earns the higher ranking with its superiorly done soundtrack.

Alien Crush, Galaga '88, and possibly Space Harrier would also be other good choices, but I feel they do not come as close to having this ranking as much as Dragon Spirit does. Necromancer, from what I've seen also looks to be of an interesting game, too.

Fantasy Zone was FANtastic, but Space Harrier was better.

I am voting Space Harrier in the hopes that by sucking up to nat, he will finally PLAY RAIL CHASE.
