Very First PC Engine/Turbo Game Ever Played?

[turbogrfxfan]

keith courage was my first.  It was the pack in.  I never played the system before I bought it. Some worker at electronics boutique was trying to talk me out of buying it by showing a comparison card between tg and the geni.  I told that kid to kick rocks and I brought the tg16 home, hooked it up, popped in keith courage, played it for fifteen minutes and said "this sucks".  but heres the twist I also bought legendary axe so I popped it in and was very happy.  I consider that really my first real game.

Keith Courage was also my first. I was standing in an Electronics Boutique back in '89 or '90 and played some KC and was blown away by the "gunhead" enemies. I didn't realize how average the game was until I actually got a turbo 20 years later.

Spriggan was my first PC Engine title. It's still one of my all time faves.

First HuCard: BLAZING LAZERS

First CD-ROM: Valis II / Monster Lair (I got them at the same time, can't remember which I played first.)

BUT, the first CD I saw a demo of (on actual hardware), was Final Zone II. The store just had the opening cinema/title screen playing, and did not let you play unless you requested to do so and were "trusted" (i.e. a known customer or with a parent).

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

Are you teasing me?

Because, if this is true, than you are AWESOME.

Keith Courage was my first.  I really love Keith Courage I don't think it is ever given enough credit.  I'd love to see more games based on the KC world.  

When I got my TurboGrafx there was a promotion that you could send away for a free game.  You got to pick like your 5 top favorites from a list and they would send you one of those.  My friend and I got Turbo's at the same time and sent away.  After about 6 weeks our free games never arrived so we called and they apologized and said they would send them out asap.

The next day I got Legendary Axe in the mail and then about a week later I got Victory Run.  We both got 2 games!!  We were so stoked.  I played the hell out of Victory Run.  Sadly I never like Legendary Axe at the time.  Now I think it has some of the most beautiful graphics ever.

Wow, that Keith dude sure gets around; he devirginized the lot of you. lmao! Anyways, the first TurboGrafx-16™ game that I played was Bonk's Adventure. I played it on a kiosk in a Toys'R'Us store. Ever since I entered the dinosaur in level 1, I was hooked. Unfortunately for me, it wasn't until many years later that I would actually own the console and a slew of games.

My first CD game (and the first I played) was Splash Lake, and I didn't regret that choice for one moment. That game kicks ass.

Lucky. Ever since catchin' spida1's review of it, it's on my list to pick up. Unfortunately, it'll be a while before I pay that kind of price for it. heh

Galaga '88, one of four games I got with my first PC Engine:
Vigilante
Galaga '88
Dungeon Explorer
Yokai (Tales of Monster Path)

My mate had Gunhed and Dragon Spirit, but can't work out whether I played his system before mine. Oh and there were the games his dodgy mate owned, the Kung Fu and Rock-On.

Lolwut?

Certainly it is true. They had only this game to show the power of the mighty core. But don't ask me why

I am surprised that I am the only one on the list that Splatterhouse is the first hu game played, I thought that is why all the kiddies got this system?

When I bought my own system it was either Alien Crush or Cadash I played first.  First CD game was Lords of Thunder.

First TG-16 game played: Keith Courage in Alpha Zones (store demo)
Second TG-16 game played: Bonk's Adventure (friend of a friend's house; the only person I knew who had a Turbo)
I've never owned a TG-16.

First PC Engine HuCard game I played/owned: Deep Blue
First PC Engine CD game I played/owned: Pomping World (Pang)

I got a nice PC Engine Duo as my first NEC system and there were not many games to choose from at all, as you can tell by these games.  The one saving grace is that I also picked up Twinbee at the same time.  Still, knowing the reputation of Deep Blue, I just HAD to see if was really that bad.  As for Pomping World/Pang... well, it's an awesome game.
