PC Engine is/was THE machine for shooters?

Don't forget about Cotton(I just love this game)...

I have a kisado converter and an arcade card so I've played Sapphire. I think it is a really great game. There are some polygonal enemies, cool line scolling, and the bosses animate really well (like blazing star, pulstar, and sol-divide's bosses). I must be due to the extra heaping of ram.The music is nice also, but the coolest thing about Sapphire is that it is a 2-player simultaneous game. That can't be said about some of the other great shooters on this system.

I forgot about Cotton! Got a brand new copy for about $40 a while back, and it was worth it. Very unique feel to it, nice atmosphere.

Thanks for the info on Sapphire. Sounds like a very impressive game, makes me even more tempted to shell out the $ for it and an arcade card...

blazing lazers and rayxanber are what the pcengine was all about.

A Jamma compatible supergun or dedicated cab is all you need.
Arcade obviously destroys any console's line-up of shmups.

Can't play Gate of Thunder or Blazing Lazers on my cabs though. I think as far as consoles go it kicks ass. Not speaking of ports entirely.

I want it all. On every hardware/platform.

Kinda like this:

Which is still missing both English MVS kits of SW 2/3 and SNES version of
SW which I don't need.

That is one fine lookin' shrine to Sonic Wings! And the condition is impeccable; FTL would approve.

I still think the Saturn is the king of the shooter consoles.
Too many drop-dead amazing arcade ports AND original titles.

Radiant, Sokyou, the Salamander/Gradius/Parodius ports, Sengoku Blade, ThunderForce V/Gold Packs, the mind wobbles.

The PCE and MegaDrive deserve respect, but I think a hardcore shooter fan could own only a JP Saturn and be more than satisfied.

SWEEEET. Although now that I think of it... every platform except US versions. I'll pass on the blah layout/art.

I hear you, after seeing some of those Famicon boxes, compared to my
US ones... :spock:

God I love shmups on the pce, I loved GOT and LOT, Sapphire is quite an impressive title too, on the rare occasion I dare to play it.

I adore the 'cute-em-ups' like Pc Denjin and Long Nose Goblin, though my favourite by far has to be Coryoon.

I <3 Coryoon.

How much you pay for Coryoon? Isn't that one pricey?

Depends when i got my copy i only payed $56.00 for it, pretty much luck on my part.

Still if you buy one from sellers 'on ebay like "16-bit or Dreamstagejpn" expect to pay over $80.00-$90.00 at least.

Cnidarian · Apr 12, 2005

that Tatsujin/Truxton-clone called NEXZR is great..

(no sarcasm intended)

The only reason I still own a PCE is so I can play Parodius.

I bought a used copy of Cotton 2 for the Japanese
at Game Addiction at a fair price that Dave sent me. :drool:

Is their a Cotton game for the PC Engine Hu-Card game?.

Btw: Have you played Parodius which is a very
fun! shooter that I play on my Core Grafx. Man!
Dracula X Rondo of Blood is pretty hard but I'll
manage to beat it soon. :drool:

One last question, where can I get a 2 button
controller so that I can play Dracula X a lot easier
& can the Turbo Tap, plus the Turbo Grafx extension
cable work on my Core Crafx?. Thanks

Where is the two button controller that was supposed to come with your Core Grafx?

It came with a six button controller for the fighting
games which I was supposed to get Street Fighter II
Champion Edition Hu-Card game but the battery inside
was dead & my friend gave me Bonk's Adventures as
a replacement which I was happy either way. I got a
game at least though. :cool:

I need to get a 2 buttion controller to play my Dracula X
Rondo of Blood game a lot easier, but I will use my six
buttion controller for the fighting games mostly though.

I also need to get a Turbo Tap & the Extension cable so
my mom or her boyfriend don't have to climb over & trip
over the RCA jacks which I found the Extension cable
online somewhere for $10.00. Also I will get another six
buttion controller for the Tubo Tap so that I can have
Two players because my Core Graphic has only one
controller port only. I am very happy with my Core
Graphic unit & the Super CD-Rom 2 attachment
which was in great condition & with no problem's at all.
I got my Core Grafx modded by D-Lite & a Kisado
Convertor to play US games on my Core Grafx since you
need the unit modded.

D-Lite knows what he is doing. :cool:

I owe about $90 for the Kisado Convertor which
I'll give him about $40 for May & $50 for June which
will be paid off by then.

Are their any good two player games that you can
recommend to me so that I can buy some games
here on the forums & on ebay?.

I want a Cotton game to play on my Core Grafx. hehe

I know it's not a shmup, but I love Final Lap Twin!

I bought Parodius PCE game from Kris79 on
the Neo-Geo forums for a good price. The
game is really fun! & challenging like flying
under a show girl or shooting a birds belly
button which is pretty silly. :cool:

I have seen these shooter's on ebay which I
should buy real soon like,

Aero Blasters
Air Zonk
Blazing Lazers
R-Type
Sidearms
Soldier Blade
Lords of Thunder

What kind of game is Shock Man?. :cool:

Any body have a opinion on (Sylphia) or is it another over rated shooter?

cover of the shooter game. Is it a Sega Saturn
or a PC Engine game ?. I forgot. hehe :confused:
