Very First PC Engine/Turbo Game Ever Played?

[tru]

My very first was Keith Courage in Alpha Zones...

It came packed with with the TG-16 and I had also bought Bonks Adventure the same day...

I remember firing up KC and had a blast... then popped in Bonks Adventure and played until the sun came up...


I would think that most people who bought a tg-16 new first played KC first... so might as well also say the second one as well if that was the case...

First Hu-Card: Keith Courage in Alpha Zones
Second Hu-Card: Bonks Adventure

I can't recall what the first game was that I played in-store or at someone else's home, but I believe that Gate of Thunder was the first game I played that I owned.

Can't remember the exact very first game, my friend at schools older brother had bought an imported pc engine (around 1988 ish), I went round to his house to play it and played a selection of games, Kato and Ken sticks out in my memory as the toilet humour was novel for the time and R-Type was was incredible!
Anways I was blown away by the little white machine and it got me heavily into video gaming, up untill that point my experience of gaming other than the Arcades was 8 bit home computers like the Sinclair Spectrum and Commodore 64 and they were a load of Bollocks.

Dungeon Explorer, Bonk's Revenge, and Keith Courage.

Dungeon Explorer was fun but I felt a little let down. I had not checked into it and was expecting more RPG than Action RPG.... but was still decent fun.

Keith Courage, meh

Bonk's Revenge, I played it like mad

I honestly think the first Turbo game I played was Fighting Street on the demo unit in Radio Shack. The first game I owned was Keith Courage, of course.

[Tatsujin]

I think it was Bloodia ()in a department store. Sure I already knew that the PCE was much more capable than this

I do remember some demo kiosks in local EB Games/Gamestop/Babbage's/Funcoland bitd...but not any game in particular.  First games I owned/played were Neutopia 2, and Veigues Tactical Gladiator (much better game of the 2).

The first Turbo game I remember playing was Battle Royale.... and what a first impression!

My next door neighbor had a TurboGrafx... the only time any of my friends had one. Other early plays include China Warrior and Legendary Axe II. Axe II was the only game of the lot that I thought was decent.

Oh, I take that back, I did play Air Zonk on a Kiosk in Toys R Us, way back.... not sure if it was the first game I played but it was close....

At least you knew someone that owned one... even today I talk of the system and my friends are "The what?!?"

And they still think they are gamers... lol

Even in the game stores of the bigger surrounding cities I rarely see anything Turbo related... Guess thats Wisconsin for you!

In order to decide which console I should buy in 1989, I asked the game store keeper show me some shooting games on PCE and Genesis, he played Thunder Force II, and Tatsujin on Genesis, and then played Blazing lasers on PCE. I finally bought PCE and Blazing laser home, it costed me total 120 bucks.

LOL Wisconsin has been TG dry ever since I can remember.

I still remember - there was this little electronics store off of 8th and Vermont in L.A....  (don't remember the name - but it's long gone now).

They had random games up & running, and I recall that Vigilante was game they had going when I first went in there.  I recall being rather impressed with the graphics.  (I mean, compared to the NES, it's no surprise)

I think Monster Lair III was the first CD-ROM game I tried out (at the same store), though it could've been Fighting Street...

edit:  Wait, I distinctly recall playing Kato-chan Ken-chan in Korea on a bootlegged, Playchoice-like, time-limited arcade system, and that was before I ever played any TG16...  So KCKC it is.
