Best PC Engine Super CD-ROM2 games?

[Tatsujin]

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

I have both and so far I couldn't see any differences between. not even for language issues, as in there were some in WoT<>LoT.

I dont know if you like Digital Comics but theres a good Ranma 1/2, Secret of Blue Water, Mamono Hunter Yoko, and Galaxy Fraulein Yuna bunch.

so why not mention the digi comic of the digi comics, snatcher cd-romantic?

I am assuming Snatcher is in Japanese.

yes, but so are all the others

Paul's not the only one who loves GoT. I think it's probably my favorite shooter on the console.

I stated earlier that I can't read Japanese but that doesn't mean I won't import and enjoy a good action/rpg(again, as I stated earlier). Obviously, action/rpgs require less knowledge of the storyline and can usually be somewhat understood by the action taking place onscreen and still be enjoyed. Titles like Snatcher and Legend of Xanadu are going to be too text and voice acting heavy for me to be able to progress through the game. I'd really like to play Snatcher but I think the Sega CD version will be my only option.

The Legend of Xanadu's, and Anearth are fairly playable (and some of the best on PCE IMO) with no japanese.  Plus there are some good walkthroughs of a # of the "top tier" japanese rpg's, etc.

[Black Tiger]

Gate of Thunder
Lords of Thunder
Gradius II
Star Parodia
Dungeon Explorer II PCE
Popful Mail*
Ys IV
Legend of Xanadu II* -not text heavy at all

*there is a detailed walkthrough for it and itès not tough anyway

Nexzr is pretty expensive compared to so many other great PCE games. Unless it has come down in price, Fausette Amour isnèt worth it either, but it is a decent game. Dragon Slayer is a good traditional RPG, but the U.S. version has gotten pretty pricey.

They translated Snatcher for MSX! with SCC music. 

And, playing an RPG w/o being able to read it sort of blows.  You dont know why you are doing what you are doing...

Following a walkthru just to see the game unfold (storyless...) doesn't seem like a good investment of time.

In some cases that's true, but I thoroughly enjoyed Xanadu II without understanding a word of it (aside from the odd bit here and there).

Ok, We've covered action/rpgs and the like, how about pc engine super cd-rom2 side-scroller/platformer? Popful Mail sounds cool. I am going to pick that one up for sure Any others? You can even throw in regular CD-ROM2 also.

Schbibin Man 3

[sunteam_paul]

Yep, definitely get hold of Schbibin Man 3. It's as easy as breathing but still really good fun.

[Mathius]

Thank you so much. All of you for your suggestions. My Super System Card 3.0 came today The first thing I did was went down to my retro geek shop and picked up that sealed copy of Lords of Thunder. I almost didn't want to open it but who could resist? I have never played this before and I can't really express in words just how awestruck I was. Basically, this game rocks, quite literally. Thank you again my friends.

It's the best game ever

I watched a video on You-Tube of that game and it seems a lot better than the first one at least.
