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.

Air Zonk isn't even that good.  It gets boring.

Coryoon is the same game with dragons and fruit.

I love fruits.
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!

I love R-type but yeah I'm kinda surprised R-type didn't take this. Still need to get through Air Zonk though -_-

NOOOOO!!!!

I think Air Zonk is one of the less boring shooters.  The partnerships mix it up at least; I get sick of the shooters that require you to memorize which power-ups to collect/never die (like Super Aeleste).  Nothing fun about taking on a boss with a pea shooter.

It's a single favorite game poll. I love Magical Chase, but there are so many great horizontal shooters for PC Engine that it isn't my favorite above all else.

No other HuCard shooter has affected me the way Aeroblasters has from the first time I played it. The Genesis and arcade versions are cool games, but there is something special about the Turbo version that makes it so much more than the sum of its parts.


I wonder what percentage of the games in the poll the average voter has actually played? I'm guessing that Air Zonk is also the most played game in the list.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

Hard choice. Went with Download. Love me some cyberpunk!

Parodius Da! would have been a close 2nd.

Well you don't have to own the game to vote for it.  I've only ever played most of these games on an emulator, but Aldynes still takes the cake, for me.

Arkhan Asylum

I've played every game on this list, and Im not a big fan of horizontal shooters really.

it takes alot to really like one.  

Why wasn't paranoia on there? It's my favorite of favorites.

and, Mr. Heli barely counts.  That game's totally different,and awesome!

Maybe it's because I added two games after I created the poll.

I personally would have gone for 1943 Kai(Original Stages!! :D). Though, out of all the choices, I picked Mr. Heli. I got it with my original system, and have loved it to this day. Parodius is great, but honestly, the SNES version is better, is is way too solw for me. Air Zonk is amazing, but something feels missing ](*,). Aeroblasters is great, but too hard. Obey PC Engine! :twisted:

I don't get this fawning over Air Zonk.

I love the game, but others are more worthy of being a proper shooter.

I'd say that for a system arguably overloaded with shooters, Air Zonk is very accessable and innovative, plus it uses some neat hardware tricks, and is very polished.
