I posted my top ten card games in the other thread, so for this one I guess I'll list my favorites that didn't have US TurboChip counterparts.  These are roughly in order:

Altered Beast
Salamander
Parodius
Jimmu Denshou
Final Soldier
Spiral Wave
Batman
Energy
Cyber Knight
Takeda Shingen

I have such good taste in games. 

Certainly you named them all using the US names.

Hmm. Very Turbo-centric if you ask me!

I don't think it's a matter of Turbocentrism.  I think it's reflective of the fact that the US actually got plenty of the excellent HuCard games. 

As for using the Turbo names, those of us who grew up with the system here in the US are much more used to the titles "Axe" and "Lazers" than we are to "Makyou Densetsu" and "Gunhed."

See now that's a good idea Type-R-
if you were to start a new thread for top ten Japanese only hucards- no counterparts.  However you'd have to change your list as well.

Anyway- here's a top ten JP only hucard list from me (my favorites)-
and this was much tougher than ten overall hucards for me- there were like twenty that was hard to make into ten- so don't consider this exact-

1 Photograph Boy
2 Son Son II
3 Doraemon Arabian Nights
4 Liquid Kids
5 Image Fight
6 Lady Sword
7 Bonze Adventure
8 Parodius
9 Bomberman 94
10 Coryoon

Honorable mention: Ryukyu

Again- these are my favorites- I'm not saying that they're necessarily the best ones.

Others I wanted to mention: Bikkuriman World, Dracula Boy, Genji Tsushin Agedama, Gomola Speed, Gradius, Ninja Gaiden, Salamander...

No need for a new thread - let's do it right here, right now. 

1. Bomberman '94
2. Parodius Da!
3. Street Fighter II'
4. Twin Bee
5. Photograph Boy
6. Hatris
7. Batman
8. 1943
9. Ninja Gaiden
10. Aoi Blink

Hey necro does that Hatris have a two-player option?
I've seen you profess your love for this title before and I must admit that at first I felt you were joking- I can clearly see now that you're not...  I like a good falling brick though - Ryukyu and Spin Pair both surpassed my expectations- might have to pick up this Hatris as well and pile some hats on some Moes.

I have such good taste in games. 

Altered Beast? I thought it really frustrating.

Takeda Shingen???!!??!??!!???      That Commodore 64 reject??     

I'm surprised that Galaga 88 hasn't been mentioned by anyone. Surely it deserves a vote or two...

Now we're onto only released in JP hueys Spector-
Can the OP please change the thread title if we're to do this?
This can easily become a mighty head-f*ck of a thread...

[Necromancer]

Hey necro does that Hatris have a two-player option?

Nope, but I don't think any other ports did either.  I enjoy a good falling brick game as well, and this one is the best yet that I've played for the ol' Turbo (the best part of Ryukyu is the manual).  Hatris isn't terribly impressive in the graphics department, but the tunes are catchy, the game play solid, and it can be bought for cheap.  The only bad thing about Hatris is that it's too easy.

This can easily become a mighty head-f*ck of a thread...

a.k.a. - the best kind of thread

Look at that guy ripping on the outstanding HuCards I chose.  Next thing you know, someone will try to claim that Energy is a bad game.

[Sinistron]

Really? no love for Ryukyu?  I find that to be the most relaxing game ever- even if the straights inexplicably get more points than the flushes...

Maybe I was grouchy and didn't give it enough of a chance before declaring it sucky.  I'll give it another chance some time - maybe Dean'll have a copy..... if he ever gets unburied from work/family/whatever.

No chance of that - Energy is one of the greatest games ever made. It's the reason I bought a PC Engine     

To be fair, I liked the cheesy music in Altered Beast, and the change from man to wolf on level one always made me chuckle. Hey it's funky! 

[type-r]

See, some interesting lists and some games (which I won't mention) that I wouldn't give the time of day are appreciated by others!

Whats the saying again: One mans meat is another mans posion?

Thats why the PCE (ok, and Turbo) rocks - so many games and so much choice!
