Zero Wing for PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16 CD:

Samurai Ghost, The sequel to Genpei Toumaden:

 

Zero Wing is just a regular CDROM 2.0 game (not a super CD game).. even though it was released in 1992.

Also, Samurai Ghost use a LOT of overlapping sprites for the main character:

Chris Covell's HuZero:

These can be downloaded from his website: https://www.chrismcovell.com/creations.html

Meet the SuperGrafx by Punkfloyd:

 

I always took offense to that Punkfloyd SGX demo. They literally didn't even try haha. No parsley my arse. That said, Chris Covell always went above and beyond with ALL his demos - quality stuff!

 

 

 Also, PCE's pseudo "3375 color" mode:

I played tg16 all weekend! I finally set up my classic gaming section after finding these red stools. Tg16 is the star. Sharing because I'm so proud of it

 

Question. I am using a cord extender for the original gamepad.. it's insanely long like ten feet.  So u think it has any lag? I didn't notice any but curious if it does.

I used to own a CIB copy of Dragon Egg up until I let the PCE stuff go a couple years back, one of the best lesser known HuCard PCE platforming games.  Without the translation it didn't hurt, but I guess it would be nice to see what's up all the same but I strongly suggest anyone give that some fair play time.

I didn't have time to make a polished "hi-color" slide show for PCE before the end of the year. But I figured I'd left people play around with some test images (they're test images.. not polished):

For maximum effect view them on a CRT... preferably on the consoles native composite video output (as they're are somewhat over saturated in RGB color space). Works for PCE/SGX/TG16/etc.

 

Happy New Year!

One thing about the Avenue Pad 6 that I found irksome is that so few games supported it. To be honest, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood was one of those games that would benefitted from the additional buttons. Speaking of Konami on the TG-16/PC-Engine, am I the only person who liked its versions of Gradius and Salamander? I wonder if anyone here also remembers the two Vasteel games on the TG-CD?

PCE Mini finally got hacked, and by that KMFDManiac dude who is with Hakchi and does all those added cores and stuff for it.  It's going through a lot of bug crushing, stability work, basically hakchi bulletproofing standards at this rate so there's just a video so far, but probably out in the next few months, summer, definitely this year and hopefully sooner than much later.

Private Eye Dol is now in English:

This may be the best-looking game for the system.

I just completed this last week. A great game with a lot more interaction than your average visual novel. I love games like this and wish there were more. If you guys have any recommendations, shoot them my way.

Damn, that thing is like twice the price I thought it was going to be. If you have an RGB modded PC Engine this thing will be super awesome, but if you don't you might as well throw in the extra $10 or whatever and get the SHDS3 Pro and get the RGB mod, native HDMI out in case you want HDMI, and the SuperGrafx emulation.

Hi guys,

 

Cool video from Retro Bird on which out of the two units was more underappreciated. The TurboGrafx-16 or the Neo-Geo? I'll be posting this up on the Neo-Geo thread as well. Enjoy. :)

 

From the description,

"I compare the TurboGrafx-16 to the Neo Geo in terms of how much appreciation each system has gotten over the years. This includes a retrospective on each console's popularity back in the day, as well as nowadays. Which Console Is More Underappreciated: TurboGrafx-16 or Neo Geo? - Retro Bird / Which Console Is the More Underappreciated Video Game System? / PC Engine / Neo Geo / More Underrated "
