1995 PC Engine game of the year
« on: April 26, 2008, 08:50:07 AM »
it's 1995. The PCE is now 8 years old, older than the Atari 2600 at the time of the crash.
it now has the Playstation and Saturn to worry about.

The end is near, but the old HE system keeps cranking out the hits. 37 of 'em to be exact.

I'd likely vote for Seiya Monogatari / Anearth Fantasy Stories or Gulliver Boy if I'd managed to finish them.

But I voted for Kaze No Densetsu Xanadu II, which is not only good, but really fun.

Too many good games for me to be able to vote.
I remember back at the time : no internet and no more PC Engine reviews in french magazines, I was sure that games were no longer released on our beloved system. Still, 1995 is a good vintage.

I voted for Ai Choaniki. The only 1995 release I actually played. Such an awesome and goofy shmup.

I voted Sapphire, but somewhat reluctantly.

BTW, "Galaxy Fraulein Yuna HuVideo" isn't really a game. Its just a video that came packed with the reprint of Yuna 1.

No question about it, gimme Sapphire!

Word.  A vote for that one is really a vote for the first Yuna, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Besides the few shooters and good RPGs, it looks like a glut of porno games and dating sims.  Oh, poor, poor, dying PC-Engine.   :cry:

I voted for "The TV Show" because it sounds cool.

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

Looks cool too.  I already decided that The TV Show will be my Christmas present from myself at the end of the year  :D

Its not a peak year, but you should look more closely into some of those games. There are some nice ones in there.

I knew the majority would vote Sapphire lol. I voted Asuka 120% Maxima Burning Fest. After getting this game I was really impressed with it for just being a super cd fighter. Alot more impressive then Martial Champions,AVG,or Flash Hiders and a great combo system alot of fighters from that time couldn't touch.
