I don't own Soldier Blade or Kyokyoyuuoyooyokyou Tiger even though they look rad!

Blazing Lazers, baby! I know you don't like the musics, Sunteam, but the soundtrack rocks! :P

KYokrokrokouyauuauauauauauaakkakakak tiger is awesome.
This "max-level forum psycho" (:lol:) destroyed TWO PC Engine groups in rage: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook "Because Chris 'Shadowland' Runyon!," then the other by Aaron Nanto "Because Le NightWolve!" Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together... Both times he blamed the Aarons in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

It's worth getting for the helicopter take-off sound alone.

I just ordered Dragon Sabre.  Hopefully mine gets here...

Actually, I just remembered...  I've actually wanted it for about 20 years, since I saw a screenshot on an Amiga advert.  Although I think it was called Dragon Spirit on the Amiga.

Dragon Saber is the sequel. lol

Also, the Amiga sucks.  :)

I recently added this to my library (lol @ spelling, Arkhan!) and I concur.  It's great.

But not better than Brazing Razers! (IMO)

Dragon Sabre? More like Drosophila Sabre! That cute tiny speck of fly ain't no goddamn dragon.

Dragon? Dragon? I'll show you a bonafide dragon...play Dragon Spirit.

It's worth it for the soundtrack.

Dragon Spirit and Saber are excellent.  I still am partial to Galaga 88/90 though....call me retarded...

Samurai Ghost

Was hoping Kyuukyoku Tiger/Twin Cobra would get more love. It's such a great vertical shooter in all aspects and I've probably played it more than most games on the PCE. There's just something about it that makes you want to come back again and again until you one-credit the whole game. Easier said than done though! Such an awesome game but easy to overlook at first.

OldRover

I was actually tempted to vote for Tatsujin, since it's slightly more fun than Gunhed... but that could just be my sadistic side speaking.
Turbo Badass Rank: Janne (6 of 12 clears)
Conquered so far: Sinistron, Violent Soldier, Tatsujin, Super Raiden, Shape Shifter, Rayxanber II

I almost voted for that.  I srsly did.  I love the game, and i also love tiger heri on NES.   That game had sweet music.

I agree, it's a great game.  As is Tiger Heli on the NES.  But I haven't played it a whole lot (yet) so maybe that's why I had to go with BL.  I've been playing BL off and on for over 20 years, so that counts for something. :)

Got Dragon Spirit.  It's a nice little game, and very fair.  It does show it's age a bit though.

I'm guessing it was one of the earlier releases though.  Yeah, '88.  It would be nice to have some kind of pop-up timeline for the PC Engine that works a bit like the dock thing on OSX.

Seconded!

I thought Soldier Blade was pretty boring overall... If SB and Blazing Lazers were the last two shooters on earth i would put most of my time into Lazers
