Which games do I HAVE to get?

[Starfighter]

So, I recently got my first PC Engine and I have no idea what to get to it. I've seen a few scrambled lists here and there that don't tell me all that much, and the game-library is quite a jungle.. I like shooters (that's the main reason I got it in the first place), platformers, puzzle games, fighters and sometimes racing games. I DON'T like RPGs, simulators (life, love, dating etc) or anything sports related. If you guys don't feel like rambling on about your favorites in mentioned genres maybe there are some competent and accurate lists on the subject you can refer me to? Preferably lists with explanations/pictures of each game. Thanks!

Oh, and the games I got now is:

Heavy Unit
Super Star Soldier
Momotaro Katsugeki
Dragon Spirit
R-Type (R-Type I and R-Type II)

Which games do I HAVE to get?

Winds of Thunder
Dracula X
Soldier Blade

Sweet! I wrote down Soldier Blade (I plan on getting more of the Soldier-games anyway, they seem very nice) but the other two wasn't hucards. Maybe I should've said from the beginning that I have a coregrafx - and even if I'm up for a duo in the future I'll focus on hucards for the time being.

Tatsujin: I have a few you mentioned, what about the others. Why are they important to have? Why are they that good?

Arkhan: Haha, I better like it now! I have never heard of it so anything can happen. To be continued.... ^^

Its Bubble Bobble part 3.  You wack stuff with an umbrella and collect cake / food.

Its perfection.

PC DENJIN PUNKIC CYBORGS
DEAD MOON
SOLDIER BLADE
BOMBERMAN 94

[imparanoic]

platformers, go for pc kid/gen 2 or 3 (3 getting rarer and more expensive) jackie chan is wicked, ninja spirit

if you have pc engine cd rom, fatal fury special ( 2 ) is good, also hucard streetfighter is exceptional conversion.

some games are becoming prohibitively  expensive, ie, (around or over US$100)
Sylphia
Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire ( around US$300)
coryoon
magical chase

others, getting very pricey

Hmm.. Why is it, that your avatar is BM'93 (which is very good), but you're recommending BM'94?

Either one, 94 has a better single player mode. I like 93 Battle Mode better cause I think it's a little simpler for the average friend/family member whose never played. My Avatar is 93 cause I had a Turboduo as a kid and that's the game that has the most nostalgia for me. Didn't play 94 till I became an adult and a collector.

We're teaching you how to research!

As far as Fighters go, you need a CD system for it.  Then, you can get Asuka 120%, and Advanced VG.   Street Fighter 2 for HuCard is good stuff too


also for CD, are moar puzzle and platformer games.


Did we recommend Cadash yet?  Thats another kickass one.
