Bonk 3, no contest. I was never really much of a Dungeon Explorer fan anyways, and Magical Chase, despite all its hype, just isn't my ball of wax. Exile II, for as great as the music sounds and the story rocks, plays like dog shit and everyone knows it. The rest...meh. Bomberman '93 is pretty decent but nothing special to me, and I don't have my experience with Dungeon Master or LOHT so I can't say much about them. And even if Lords Of Thunder were to make this list, Bonk 3 is still the better game...though barely. 2 player simultaneous Bonk action gives it the edge.

Bomberman '93, but I would change it to Lords of Thunder if available.

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

Dungeon Explorer II.  I like Tonma, which is more than I can say for most of these, so it's a distant second.  Lords would've been a much closer second if it were available as an option.

I don't care for Exile II, Bonk 3, or Magical Chase, and I haven't played Bomberman '93 or Dungeon Master yet.

The Turbo is what got me hooked on Bomberman... at the time it was released, Bomberman '93 brought so many enhancements over the original in terms of multiplayer action to make it my favorite game of '93.

Despite the poll options, I'm just sticking to HuCards for voting purposes, since not all CD releases are represented.  In this case, Bomberman '93 slightly edges out Bonk III, which was also a great game.

Where are all of the other 93 games?  Why are these lists so inaccurate?

This is a toughy.  I had fun doing 5 people multiplayers with both Bomberman 93 and Dungeon Explorer 2 back when they came out.  I'm going with Bomberman 93 though cause the funfactor is just a little bit higher.

A tough choice between Bomberman '93 and Magical Chase, but I have decided to pick Bomberman '93 for this. It was the game where, when viewing its ending, that I had discovered that the PC Engine was known as the TurboGrafx-16 in the US, after all, and it is considered to be my favorite Bomberman game.

Of course, as a few others have mentioned before, a few other titles such as Lords of Thunder and even Super Air Zonk are missing from this list. Was Bomberman '94 released in the US? I have some conflicting information on this.

I don't think so, but I think the Genesis port was. (Or at least Europe)

On Genesis only, you are correct.
END OF LINE.

Why aren't the other 93 releases in there?  Everyone has a personal favorite.  This list shouldn't be to a few specific games.  I did however vote for Dungeon Explorer II.  It was a tough decision since there are nice games in the list.  I personally wanted to vote for Lords of Thunder.

If you guys had been following the survey trend, you'd already know why the rest of the releases for that year aren't included.

Well I haven't been following all of these.  I didn't know they were all taken from pcedaisakusen.net.

I had to give it to LoT. That game just kicked ass.

I didn't even see Lords of Thunder because it was at the bottom and not capitalized. Way to snub the game.
