1999 - 2004 TG-16/PC Engine Game of the half-decade
« on: March 27, 2008, 07:33:16 AM »
Best TurboGrafx-16 or PC Engine game of 1999 - 2004. ONLY 3 options this time.

17 years old now, and still going strong...

Meteor Blaster DX, as it's more polished and entertaining than the button masher Implode.  Mind you, I haven't played Dead of the Brain yet, since it's too expensive and full of gibberish (to me).

Implode FTW, although to be fair, I haven't played DotB either. I'm waiting for the English version....

This is as hard as the 1993 one...only for exactly the opposite reasons.

Dead of the Brain is the only one I'm at all interested in.

Voted Meteor Blaster DX since I haven't played Dead of the Brain 1 & 2 and it's a pretty fun and well put together game. Not to mention the fact that without Asteroids, our beloved Turbo system would be nothing. I'd probably like Dead of the Brain more though if I played it and if it gets translated. Implode is a fun mindless game.

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

The TurboGrafx-16 is about 6 months shy (or so) of being 19 years old.

That's the PC Engine.  Remember, the TurboGrafx-16 has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with the PC Engine.

Me too - I can't wait.  Have you heard anything about how it's progressing?

That was a rewording of guyjin's 'best of 1993' poll. Its the age of the hardware up until that point.

Last I heard all the text for part 1 had been translated, and part 2 was nearly finished being translated. They still have font issues and text-insertion code to deal with.

Bonknuts probably has more up-to-date information.
