Games you wish were brought to the PCE/TG

[offsidewing]

I would have liked to have seen a completed Strider for the SGX and what the Power Console may have become.  Eat your heart out Steel Battalion!!!

I would have loved for an updated Karnov (the NES version) for PCE. That would have been awesome. Of course, I'd want a Super CD version, with the equivalent of 2 long quests (the original quest, plus a new one), and the option to have PSG or Red Book Audio soundtrack.

Then we have Gyruss (Konami). I'd love a really souped-up version, with special flourishes and effects (and, if it didn't break gameplay, a variety of creative backdrops). Always the PSG/Red Book option, which you can switch on the fly, and some "dodging" sequences.

Then of course, my ultimate dream, is an updated version of Mega Zone (Konami), with a special "horror mode", made just for me, that is so intense (in terms of sound effects and soundscape), that it scares the hell out of me (and you).

I wish they would have ported Shenmue 1 and 2 over to the PCE in 1988.  Like R-Type, each game would have probably needed to be separated to 2 HuCards.  If they waited a year or two when NEC finally figured the AMAZING technology that allowed 4 MEGA POWER, then each game could come one one card.

A Contra game would've been nice

Ditto if it were like the arcade version of super contra

Sega was always the pioneer, achieving 4 MEGA POWER before NEC could do the same on a supposedly more powerful system.  NEC should feel ashamed.  I know I would feel ashamed if a box that said "Tonka" on it was more POWERFUL than myself.  I bet Obama's socialism and Rush Limbaugh are behind this conspiracy.

I blame George Bush for TTi turning down the console exclusive rights to Mortal Kombat.  I also blame George Bush for the Civil War, McKinley's assassination, and Beanie Babies.

Mortal Monday, the day that launched the Genesis into first place.  Funny that sega isn't making consoles anymore and Midway shit the bed...

Phillips should've given the TG16 rights to Hotel Mario.  More realisticly, the Battletoads arcade game would've made me spew some chunky dick snot.

I know. What is interesting is that the North American box art for SMS After Burner (see prior post) is slightly different than the European version (below):



1) The European version swaps out "Sega Arcade Hit" in the upper right-hand corner for "THE FOUR MEGA POWER" banner. Brilliant marketing.
2) The European version overtly states that the game is single-player only. Again, brilliant.
3) The European version features a line drawing interpretation of the air-brushed North American artwork.
4) The European version nimbly utilizes the "graph paper" motif featured on all Master System products.

And also, in the European version the horribly sketched F-14 is shooting down F-4s.  In the US version, the F-14 is blasting MiG-23/27's from the sky.  Wait a sec, are they bashing the mega power of the PCE in Portugese?

Super Robot Wars as a SCD. Today Bandai makes solid games pretty regularly, but in the old days virtually every single thing they sold was total crap. When they released Dragon Ball Z for PC Engine, and it turned out to not only be decent but also very innovative, I was very surprised. This game was sort of the turning point for Bandai, IMO. I would have loved to have seen the first CD SRW game on PC Engine.

An original installment of the Assault Suit series.

An original installment of the Kunio-kun series.

The final Gunbuster game (cancelled, always wondered if betas existed).

[Arkhan]

it seemed like Bandai was better at toys than games back then.  All the Bandai games I have are craptastical disasters

[Mednafen]

Four-player TMNT Arcade
Sim City
Mega Man

Someone can run around as Splinter and go all cripple-rat-fu on some bitches.
