Best PC Engine CD-ROM2 games?
« on: April 29, 2009, 07:12:12 AM »
Since I am new to this, what do you guys think would be the best CD-ROM2(not Super CD-ROM2)games I could import? I don't read japanese so RPGs are out. Good action and shooter titles. Once I get a Super System Card or a Duo-R then we'll talk about Super CD-ROM2 games :)

You know that CDs aren't region locked, right? you can play US CDs on Japanese systems. Get the American version of Ys 1&2, Cosmic Fantasy 2, and Buster Bros, if you don't have 'em already.

Also, all the Valis games, except 1 which is an SCD. There are American versions of 2 and 3.

Yeah I already have Cosmic Fantasy and Buster Bros. And I am aware that there are no region lockouts that's why I am asking about PC Engine CD imports. Spriggan sounds cool. Ys books 1&2 are on my list to buy as well.

You could do worse than Super Darius, Monster Lair, Splash Lake, or Terraforming, though the last three are also available as US releases.

How about Hellfire S, Red Alert, Terraforming, Ranma 1/2 (Only if you like Ranma, lol), and Wonderboy III?

Nah, that's a regular ol' CD-ROM^2.  That's definitely one of the best shooters that's not Super CD-ROM.

On the other hand, Macross 2036 is a Super CD-ROM game.  I gotta try that one...

I checked Spriggan out before I bid. It's cd-rom2. I am looking into Terraforming also.

Buster Bros
Valis III
Monster Lair
Ys 1&2:U.S version is a must beside the cd games being region free.

Most have listed the other ones that are worth it.

I am looking at a picture of the case right now and it clearly looks like a CD-ROM2 title. Here's the link, you'll have to zoom in on the picture.
