Can Pcenginefx beat all licensed TurboGrafx-16 games in 2016/2017? (115/135)

We tried as a forum to collectively beat every licensed U.S. game released for the TurboGrafx-16 system in 2016.  We failed.   ](*,)
Now, we are simply trying to collectively beat them in 2016-2017.

Rules

  1.  Post the games which you have beaten in this thread.
  2.  Game must be beaten on any difficulty level which 'completes' the game and credits scroll (if the game does that).  (So 'Breeze' on Magical Chase won't cut it, because it is not the complete game, and no credits scroll.
  3.  A game clear screenshot must be posted for your clear to count, but if you absolutely missed getting the pic, you may substitute a picture of your gaming setup with the game playing on the screen.
  4.  Emulators may be used, but no save states/frame skips/cheats are allowed.
  5.  The PC Engine version of the game may be beaten in its place if the games are basically the same (i.e. Ninja Spirit – okay, Sinestron/Violent Soldier – not okay)
  6.  Continues and/or passwords are fine, but no codes allowed which are not given to you by the game itself or its instruction manual.
  7.  Game must be beaten in its entirety in the calendar year of 2016.  No old 99% saves may be used.
  8.  If a game has no ending and just repeats the same stages, then you may consider it beaten once you get to that point.
  9.  If a game has no ending but just continues racking up points (i.e. Alien Crush), then you may consider it beaten once you beat the in-game high score or you max out the score (i.e. all 9's in the score).
10.  Gamers may participate to beat longer games if it is feasible and desired (i.e. Boxyboy – one could beat the first 125 levels and give the password to another who could beat the final 125 levels).
11.  Games to clear may not be reserved.  Whoever beats it first and posts their pic gets the credit.
12.  If anyone feels that a game was missed or a game is unbeatable and/or should have an alternate clear condition, please post your thoughts.

Couldn't resist a quick run through New Adventure Island after I saw this thread! :]
Played the PCE version but I've beaten both and the only difference I've ever noticed is the title screen.

jtucci31

Well the crush games will be no easy task, but I could probably knock out a few in the next few days like Fantasy Zone, Bonks, and Gate of Thunder. Cool thread, I saw one from a few years ago and always wanted to start this again.

esteban

Great idea! :)

I would like to make one small addendum to the rules:

13. You pledge to listen to the tunes from Timeball /Blodia at least twice in 2016. You may not like the game, but at least give the (very short!) soundtrack a chance. Thank you.

If we finish all of the licensed TG-16 games, then I'll add the unlicensed and then perhaps open up the PC Engine floodgates to see how many total we can beat.

I beat Bonk's Revenge/PC Genjin 2 today but I'm not sure if it counts as I wound up getting 54 smiley faces in the first level and it warped me past the second level. Played the PCE version.

I can breeze through the whole game except the last level. The bomb sometimes doesn't work right on Jeeta (grey dude) if you don't hit him when he's crouching.

Anything's possible but one of the rule was:
QuoteEmulators may be used, but no save states/frame skips/cheats are allowed.
I'm also guessing hacked CD or rom does not count as well?  There's a list of cheat on Krikzz forum for hacking ROM and a few CDs such as unlimited lives, invincibility, etc.

If the above did finish Exile 2 without cheating or reusing old save in a short time, then wow!!

Quote from: Nulltard on 01/02/2016, 10:35 PMDude... did you seriously just clear that in less than 48 hours even with all the grinding needed due to the WD glitch?  AND Camp California in that same time window??!

IMG
Camp California was one of my favorite games back in the day. I never lost my touch at that game, and I understand how to manipulate Byron so he platforms like a boss. Exile WP is the same deal. I spend the most time in the Spire Of Eternity, building up levels. The rest is just memory. I actually went through the Tower Of Souls without taking a single hit, and only took one hit on The Great Ark (from a floor wave attack) and one hit from the genie (charging attack, before his pattern settled). Turrican... same deal... favorite back in the day, I remember where everything is, which path to take, and when to use the buzzsaw or fire off special weapons.

This is a very fun and beautiful action game by Nowpro, the dev who brought you New Adventure Island, Bravoman and Jackie Chan.

Great job guys!
I was going to try to knock one out yesterday, but my boys and I ended up watching Robotech instead.
I'll update the thread this afternoon.

Since GOJIRA ate my save in 2015, I might as well start playing a new campaign of Might and Magic 3 again for 2016. That's going to be fun.
