Howdy RFGen,

Finally found a PC Engine Complete in Box for a price I could accept. I couldn't be happier! I am having a tough time deciding which games to get. What are some of your personal faves?

Kato-chan & Ken-chan.  It's a great Hudson platformer that's still easy to find at a good price.

THE EXPENSIVE ONES! Wait, PC-Engine, not TG-16... Wink

Most of the ones that I know of are shmups, Bomberman, and Tower of Druaga.

I don't have many yet, but Rondo of Blood and Ninja Gaiden are good. I want to get more of the shooters at some point, especially the Konami releases.

Thanks for the insight!

Definitely looking at the shumps, I'm really starting to appreciate those more now that I'm older and don't have the reflexes for them >< 
Rondo of Blood and Ninja Gaiden sound great. Know of a good place to find pics of the cases? (My Japanese is pretty rusty).

Beyond jealous of your Duo-R score, but congrats!  I'll second Star Parodia - I have it via the Star  Soldier Collection PSP release (Japan-only), and it's a fun game, especially if you're into the Konami cute-em-up games like Parodius, TwinBee, etc.  Solid title, lots of fun.

Looks like I'm going to have a great time hunting for these crazy shooters. Only in Japan...
I'll get some photos up as soon as I get in the studio.
The US controller isn't compatible with the Japanese console right?

Adaptor required. The US plug is huge, the PC Engine's is smaller.

I was born in 1989 and I had never even heard of the PC Engine until the mid 2000's. To this day, I haven't seen one. I was almost going to take the plunge and buy one on eBay a few weeks ago but it was just more than what I wanted to spend at the moment.

It seems to me like a console that was meant to replicate the arcade experience at the time, similar to the Neo Geo. From the videos and pictures I've seen, it looks simply beautiful. The system is known for its shmups as I'm sure others have mentioned, and I'm not sure what else the system has to offer in terms of genres that I like- racing, action, fighting, beat em ups, but it's definately one of the "holy grails" of video game systems for collectors- at least for me.

unless you were really good at doing your research, most people wouldn't have heard of it back when it was new...it was only available overseas, with us getting just the Turbo Grafx-16
