Touch choice between Cadash and Bonk's Revenge! I voted for Cadash overall since I'm such a sucker for that game, but man those two are like my two favorite HuCards. This probably contradicts my top 10 HuCard list posted on these forums, but what can I say, I hate lists!

I was REALLY torn between Bomberman, Silent Debuggers, and Super Star Soldier, but c'mon, IT'S BOMBERMAN! HOW COULD YOU NOT VOTE FOR BOMBERMAN!?

That was easy. I had voted for Bomberman. I'm quite suprised, though, that it had actually came out in 1991 instead of 1990, along with Super Star Soldier, since the information I've heard along the lines for these games were for the PC Engine, as well as the TurboGrafx-16.

The mentioned-before Super Star Soldier would have also been a good choice to choose. I'm not too fond of Bonk's Revenge since I don't really like the graphical style for this game, since it doesn't seem to fit properly to me :?.

I can't believe Super Star Soldier is winning over Bonk.

SSS is the low point of the entire series.

Kirby- these are for the turbografx.  Bomberman for pc-engine came out in 1990.

I'm aware of that. I just thought they were both released for the TurboGrafx-16 in 1990, too, just like the PC Engine versions of the games.

In general (but not always) the US versions were about a year behind the Japanese versions.

Bomberman, well, Kitsune is right: it had great replay and I think it is the single Bomberman I've logged the most hours on.

I love Bonk's Revenge, but damn, there should have been difficulty modes in that game. Parasol Stars and Cadash were lots of fun :).

I voted for Raiden, even though it is a "boring" pick for #1, in my view. The reason I had to choose Raiden is because I played the hell out of it in the arcade, and on TG-16, and it had excellent replay value and challenge.

I almost voted for Raiden too esteban. It was definitely the best of the ports until the PS1. It's a classic shmup and I play it all the time. Hard as all hell, but fun.
Yup :).

Black_Tiger, you know what I mean! There should have been a mode that was actually (aka "really") challenging!

You crazy Canadian :).

What have you been up to, by the way? Creating kool stuff for Frozen Nutopia (sp)? :)

Super Star soldier for me although bonk's revenge was a close second.

I've known that for quite a while, too. However, there were some games that were released a couple of years later due to the release differences of the TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine (Kato Chan & Ken Chan/J.J. & Jeff), those that were released in the same year (Air Zonk), and in rare cases, released a year later in Japan (Dragon's Curse/Adventure Island), of course, so it can be difficult to determine the release dates between two versions because of these cases.
