Title: Best Resource for TG-16/PCE Games Reviews?
Post by: Paisa49 on 10/20/2008, 10:12 AM
Much to my dismay, one of my favorite sites, The Videogame Den, has been down for quite a while. I don't think it'll be functional for some time. So, are there any other sites that provide even-handed, unbiased reviews for the multitude of PC Engine games that are out there? I'd like to see where everyone on here goes for good gaming reviews.

Thanks,

Try the PC Engine Software Bible (http://www.pcengine.co.uk).  Sunteam Paul's reviews are honest and fair, though not every game has been fully reviewed yet.

I've checked this one out. I like the new interface, but does anyone have any other sites they like to frequent.

Well this site http://www.pcecp.com mostly it's comments though on what people think of the games not a review.

Hence why IIMHO it should be a stickied topic so it doesn't get lost to the ages ;)

Agreed.  Runin's 'useless thoughts' are anything but.

You beat me to it, I've been meaning to post that for days :mrgreen: ! Runin has always been my favorite Turbo reviewer since GameFAQs.

I just found a cool site for reviews here (http://pc-engine.emuunlim.org:88/index.html). The reviews are all short, but they have a bunch of screenshots with them, which is nice.

Yeah, all the links seem to have to be download seperately in different windows/tabs.

Not sure what browser you guys are using, there were only a few links that opened in a seperate window for me. The CD section has all the reviews in it, and I don't remember it opening in a new window or not working or anything like that. They have a lot of reviews, but I read half of em in like... half an hour. They're pretty short.

Probably something other than Internet Exploder; it works fine here in I.E., but is broken in Firefox.  Damn nonstandard formatting!

Ugh, I see what you mean! It's forcing me to act like I'm downloading something every time I try a link. XD Well, that blows. (I'm at home and using Firefox now, case you were wondering.)

It works fine in Safari on the Mac.

And those "reviews" are hogwash.
