PC Engine CD Recommendations

Another machine we get friendly queries about is the PC Engine. It is a nice machine for us in the West as it never had many releases designed with a global appeal in mind. Which is very refreshing as the gaming market homogenises. So it can be great fun eh? Personal faves here at Genki include Dynastic Hero, Bonanza Bros, Fray and Iganinden Gaou. Genki has always had trouble resisting good ninja games.
Kiaidan, Image Fight II, Pop N Magic and Horror Story are also very worthy titles. The sort of humour on offer in Horror Story really floats our boat and is sadly lacking in many games of late. Besides its hard for anyone who has seen Mr Vampire to resist the charge of an undead zombie bunny hopping towards you. 
 



You can't really go wrong: Choaniki, Ai Choaniki, Valis II, Star Parodia, Winds of Thunder, Spriggan Mark 2, Shubibiman 3 and God Panic. The madness of God Panic adds much to the action where one is never too sure what will come next: be it a figure from Japanese mythology, Ebismaru look alikes from Goemon or semi clad wrestlers.
Well hope this helps even if it doesn't narrow it down much!
