Best PC Engine Super CD-ROM2 games?

[Mathius]

Okay, if some of you remember one of my previous posts that asked "what are the best PC Engine CD-ROM2 games?" here's the new one. I am getting my Super System Card 3.0 sometime next week. Paid only $59 and it's mint! So, what should I be importing now that I have full access to this incredible library of games(except the Arcade card games, of course). Yes, there are obvious choices like Dracula X and Nexzr. And you can leave out super complicated japanese RPGs. But, action/RPGs would be cool. I have been shopping Genki Video Games and they have a good review system,  but I want to know what my friends here think. Thanks!

So, what's the deal with Dragon Slayer? And is there any differences between Winds Of Thunder and the U.S. releases? I am definently getting Dungeon Explorer II. The first one is one of my favorite Hu Card games.

Paul's list is a dang good starting point, though I'd amend it to include Godzilla, Dracula X, and the Ys series.

Dracula X is a given. And I am working on aquiring the Y's series(U.S. versions). But how about great imports that don't get discussed much. I know there are some great action RPGs and shooters out there.

Out of my collection- my ten favorite Super CDs are:

Dracula X (obvious)
Dungeon Explorer II (should be obvious)
Gate of Thunder (obvious)
Gradius II (great)
Lords of Thunder (obvious)
Pop'n Magic (two player ssp like Parasol Stars)
Psychic Storm (fun two player shooter- great music)
Puyo Puyo (the best falling brick for pce)
Star Parodier (a must have)
Valis I (plays somewhat similar to Drac X)

I have Nexzr and another anticipated super CD on the way- haven't played em yet so they didn't make my list.

Here's what I have so far. Exile, Cosmic Fantasy 2, Buster Bros., Legendary Axe, Dungeon Explorer, Neutopia, Bonk's Adventure, Final Lap Twin, Keith Courage, Aero Blasters, Blazing Lazers, and Spriggan. Spriggan is my only import so far. If it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't even know about Spriggan. I am going to get Y's Books I & II and Lords Of Thunder next week.

As for Gate of Thunder is there any differences that stand out in the import version? This question is directed at Sunteam_Paul for it seems he REALLY loves Gate of Thunder

Thats all pretty good stuff up there.   Alot of it is RPGs though, so if you hate those, >_< sorry.

Don't get me wrong, I love RPGs. I just can't read Japanese text

No, no fighters. What's the deal with Dragon Slayer and Faussette Armour? I asked about Dragon Slayer earlier but nobody answered
I would also like to know if there are any japanese imports that are actually better than their U.S. counterparts.

I just, as in five minutes ago, picked up Fantasy Zone CIB on eBay for fifteen smackers Someone on this post recommended it but I already had my sights set on it. It's a Hu Card anyway so it doesn't really count considering my topic. Just wanted you all to know.

Regarding differences between the US and Japanese Gate of Thunder, I couldn't really say as I only have the Japanese version. As far as I'm aware the main difference between the US and Jap Winds/Lords of Thunder is the lack of voice over on the opening intro on the US version, and in the shop I think? (I could be mistaken but the Japanese version feels a touch easier to me).

Dragon Slayer, if you're talking import then don't bother, but the US version, despite the worst voice acting since Ys 3, is a great RPG with some lovely music and some amusing dialogue.

Fausette Amour I find less appealing than it first looked, but I've yet to give it a really good play through.
