BEST PCE ARCADE PORT POLL

[Sinistron]

Yep I'm changing it up this time by allowing three votes apiece.  Supergrafx not included- pce/tg only  - and no mahjong games  .  No quiz games either. If I'm missing anything let me know and I'll fix it- you can change your votes if you wish- poll's open for 27 days  ...

Gradius 1 and 2,and Salamander. If I just judge by what they kept in versus what they lost,none of those ports lost much of anything,and ended up gaining better music,and in the case of Gradius,extra content.

[Necromancer]

I voted Cadash, Cotton, and Forgotten Worlds.  There's other choices that are more 'arcade perfect', but I'll pick fun over accuracy every time.

Dragon Ball Z was not an arcade game. Well, there is a Dragon Ball Z arcade game but its this really crazy split screen first person thing. The PCE one is PCE original.

I voted Fatal Fury Special.

[nat]

The Wonderboys and Space Harrier.

[Turbo D]

I voted R-Type, Raiden and Street Fighter II' - Champion Edition!!! It was tough choice with all those great sega ports!

[Black Tiger]

I voted for World Heroes 2, Gradius 2 and Forgotten Worlds.

I took into account the difference between hardware and the overall impact as a PC Engine game. I would've voted for Darius 2, but its supposed to be a partial remake.

You must be thinking of this one, which Sinistron pointed out is not the only the only DBZ arcade game.

OK so there are three Dragon Ball Z arcade games...still, none of them are the PC Engine game. The PCE game is a sort of fighting sim with menu selectable super moves, a simplified control scheme (compared to "real" fighters), and no versus mode.

It was also good, which separates it totally from almost all of the pre-Atari DBZ games.

[edit] Maybe it does have a versus mode. I can't remember. I know I've never played it. The story mode is extremely one player in nature though and has no character select.

The PCE game is actually a lot like the SS/PS "Legends" games except done with cool little sprites instead of horrible horrible polygons.

I had no idea that Nexzr was a arcade game originaly.

my votes are World Heroes 2, Cotton and Chiki Chiki boys.

[Black Tiger]

I had no idea that Nexzr was a arcade game originaly.

Are there mame roms or pcbs floating around? Because it looks like another PCE game listed on klov.com simply because someone thought that it probably was an arcade game at one point.

The description couldn't be any more vague:

"A space shooter from Kaneko that is similar to most space shooters."

[Sinistron]

Yeah black tiger I wondered that myself.  Put it on there anyway- I'm figuring that KLOV is a more reliable source than moi.  Having not travelled the world over to play all arcade games I'm gonna give KLOV the benefit of the doubt.  I am most dubious about Parasol Stars being an arcade game- and yet one KLOV member claims to own it.  I listed it for better or worse.

Zeke- the pics of the one I posted def. looks like the same type game- I've seen pics of the pce one.  Looks more likely that its some sort of port than not.  Either way- you admit to only having seen one when there's several fighting Dragon Ball games on KLOV and pics of the cabinets- so I won't consider you an authority over them.  Sorry  .  Vote however you wish is all I can say.

Anyway back to Nexzr- it's not just KLOV.  Googling brings up a bunch of references of Nexzr having been an arcade game.

Bubble Bobble III: Parasol Stars existed in one form another as an arcade game. It's doubtful it was ever really released, but there are probably prototypes floating around out there. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the KLOV members owns one.

Yeah Black Tiger, I'm thinking its the same game, every where i look it states that the arcade nexzr was released in 92 same year as the pc engine version and one list of all Kaneko games had nexzr arcade(1992) but no pc engine game, but it would be cool to find out a few arcade machines were made.
