Beat Rock On. It's not as bad of a game as I initially thought. Though the cave stage was quite annoying since I died a lot there.

It's a generic shootemup, inspired partly by R-Type (amongst others), but, as you said, it really isn't a horrible game.

I think most folks play it for 20 seconds and then turn it off.

ROCK•HARD...

Power League IV and Bomberman 94. <3

Ninja Spirit. I'm really enjoying it. Played it a little on the everdrive but getting into it more since acquiring a physical copy recently.

Psycho Punch · 07/21/2017, 08:13 PM

Lords of the Rising Sun and Sidearms... the horseback sequence still haunts me to this day, I can never seem to kill generals, at least not goal ones.

Bardoly · 08/01/2017, 09:12 AM

Played some Battle Lode Runner, Bomberman '94, and Darius Plus at VGS last Saturday. While I failed miserably at Battle Lode Runner and Bomberman '94, not even winning one round, at least I redeemed myself with Darius Plus, getting first place!

so VGS is still a thing? Glad to hear. I miss living in Indiana.

All morning I was trying to master Don Doko Don. It's tough but if you find the way and get used to the first few rounds, you may go far playing past stages that you see for a first time. Parasol Stars is a better game though. Played a lot Magical Chase and R-Type I. Those are some of my first games for the system. All in all I am very happy with the PC Engine. I find a personality different from Genesis and SNES. The system reminds me of the Neo Geo with a little worst graphics but with a little better library. There are big sprites in most games not seen so big in the Genesis.

Awesome.

I don't have Don Doko Don and only played it briefly in emulation. The "XMAS GNOME" cover is great, though.

PCE totally has a great personality.

I like all those Bubble Bobble like platformers, this one is Taito too. Great arcade conversion, has a minor graphics degradation but gameplay is arcade smooth. Can be faound on eBay new for 50.

wiseau · 08/02/2017, 08:05 PM

Super Star Soldier, but that 4th level boss keeps kicking my ass. Wouldn't even be so bad if it wasn't for all the missiles it shoots out.

Still playing Magical Chase and also started Pop n' Magic which is very addictive, I like it a lot

Yes it is fun, because you don't only need to Bubble those enemies like most games in the gerne but you also need to remember (before you hit them) what color bubble each enemy outputs so you can then hit the bubbles making the right combinations of colors and collect all bonus! Brilliant and very addictive.

Tokimeki Memorial - so much charm and nostalgia for old konami in here

kitkit.com · 08/04/2017, 01:39 PM

Great game and it's nice to see someone who appreciate the game. I used to spend hours on the Sega Saturn version.

Green Beret · 08/04/2017, 04:53 PM

You guys can read Japanese and have accessibility in many more games...

MisterCrash · 08/04/2017, 06:48 PM

I can't read Japanese either, but I played the heck out of Tokimeki Memorial on the Saturn and the PSP. I actually cleared the game with every character on the PSP version.

When I would play it, I would save before every date, and write down the first character of every possible response on a sheet of paper, along with the girl's name and the calendar date. If I picked the wrong option, I would reload and try it again. Eventually, I would see patterns that made a wrong choice less likely.

Honestly, the most important strategy in the game is to try as hard as you can to not meet girls. Pick one activity to focus on during the weeks and make up deficiencies on Sundays, when you won't risk running into anyone new. Once you start third year, you won't meet anyone else new. It's far easier to manage everyone's feelings if you only have to placate four girls rather than seven. You'll always meet Shiori and Yumi, and you'll almost always be stuck with Saki and Megumi (my least favorite of the bunch). You can then focus on one activity to meet your chosen girl.

It reminds me a part of Persona 3 on PSP. Maybe you can do the same in Persona 4 but I haven't played it.

If you do ever get into them, they are dirt cheap. ;)

kitkit.com · 08/05/2017, 05:18 PM

Out of all the Japanese dating sims that came out in the 90s, I would say Tokimeki Memorial is the most enjoyable and playable.

That's not saying as much as you think it does...

Digi.k · 08/05/2017, 11:41 PM

So it's the first New Years. I had a choice of either being on my own or asking one of the girls to accompany me to Hatsumode which is first temple visit of the year. So I chose Shiori Fujisaki. She asks if she looks ok..and you have a choice to say. "you look good" or "it looks good" then at the temple you are asked to wish for either, love, wealth or academic fortune and then follows a fortune telling thing...

NecroPhile · 08/07/2017, 10:35 AM

Mmm, nice shower peep scene.

This game needs a translation!

Green Beret · 08/07/2017, 11:50 AM

Today I did made it to the final boss of Magical Chase, but yes I realise it's an easy shmup

I played Bomber man '94 to the 3rd stage and had a good time

Sold a couple of games so the past day 1/2 I've been trying to beat them. Also Lords Of Thunder.

Played Alien Crush and had a good time. The first two balls went down the drain early, but I was able to keep the third one for a good 15 minutes or so. Fun!

I beat Valis 3 for the second time today. The last time I beat it was in college playing a burn of the game. A couple of years ago I picked up the game here and finally got around to beating it.

The game's pretty hard! Most notably, it took me forever to get past the section in stage 5 where you have to freeze enemies to become your platforms.

Gypsy · 08/09/2017, 09:56 AM

Man I'm enjoying the hell out of PCE shooties, I have Gradius 2, Rayxanber 3, Super Raiden and Darius Plus and they're all so great that I feel like I have ADHD every time I have to choose a game to play.

I forgot how awesome the PC Engine was and I should be ashamed for it.

Talking specifically about Rayxanbers.
