2/13/2025: Localization News - Cosmic Fantasy 3-4!

Rather earth-shattering news in the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 community: Cosmic Fantasy 3 & 4 has been officially localized to English by Edia 30 years later for the Switch! Hard to believe! I know their script quality is poor given the 1&2 port but still good to see.

I need your help creating a complete list of shooters (rail shooters, Shootemups, ___________) released on PCE LA.

Basic info (is there a resource listing all LA releases?) for each release:

Full title
Shooter Sub-genre
Japan release date (mm.dd.yyyy)
North American release date (if applicable)
Developer (if known)
Publisher

COVERART (the better quality, the happier I am)

Screenshots (hopefully!!! ).  :pcgs:

I'm creating a resource with all the TG-16/PCE/SGX/PC-FX SHOOTERS (rail shooter, shootemup) and I want to include LA titles.

EVEN IF ONLY A STAGE/mini-game involves shooting, I want to know.

I am pretty clueless on the full-range of LA titles (I know about a few of them).

Thank you in advance!

Edit: Checked real fast on wiki there is a small list of ld-rom games released for the NEC module. Hope this is what you were looking for. No idea on what types some of them are without actually Googling each title.

The two Vajra games are the only rail shooters for the pc engine pac.  There are other rail.shooters for the sega pac.

Only Vajra and its sequel. Damn. Short list.


Is there a reliable list of all the PCE LD-ROM games released in Japan?

Wow, I thought that a lot more software was released for both PCE and MD LaserActive.

I know almost all of those titles, but simply assumed it was the tip of an iceberg. Ha! I couldn't have been more wrong.

Thanks for the confirmation.

It's a bit anti-climatic, though, since I thought I was going to learn about a bunch of obscure games.

Vajra Ni has 3D!

So does Virtual Cameraman 2, and that involves boobehs.
