reading up on terraforming, it says it's super cd. can you confirm it working on a 2.0 card?
-
Terraforming is 2.0/3.0 bi-compatible game. And yes, I've confirmed it for myself.
-
If you like action/puzzle titles, Splash Lake is the shit. I mean that in the ironic sense, meaning the game is awesome and kicks ass. SO many levels, including the hidden item challenges. Not only that but the graphics are great and the sound effects are pretty awesome, too.
-
Splash Lake is a lot of fun, if you can see past the simplistic/cutesy graphics. I'd love to get my hands on it again. Does it have a different name for the PCE?
-
If you get your system region modded you can get a Japanese 3.0 card for dirt cheap and you'll be able to play way more games. Also you'll be able to play PCE hu cards as well.
I'm a big fan of Rayxanber II but it's tough!
-
Do what I did, expriement with differnt games.
Addams family ( and all of the halloween/Dad games ) are pretty decent nice game. I know the whole haunted house bit is kinda bleh "kid-vid" old school but for a kid and an adult watching the film at the time, it had to be an auwsome game.

Shadow of the Beast!
-
+1 on Splash Lake, especially if you've got a friend that can play along. In addition to many of the other fine games mentioned, look for L-Dis, Vasteel, Monster Lair, Rainbow Islands (kinda pricey), and the two Sherlock Holmes games (fun enough and cheap enough to be worth a look).
Shadow of the Beast!
.... is a SuperCD game.

thanks so much for all the great suggestions! my wallets about to be way lighter! magic engineing all the suggestions and am quite pleased.
@elabit : i actually plan on shipping my turbo off this week to thesteve for a region mod. i just gotta quit playing it first :) also hey i think you traded this turbo to me!
terraforming is amazing. zero wing and hellfire s are also quite rocking. splash lake is surprisingly fun as well! cannot find a good bin/cue of rayxanbar 2, but i will keep up the search! any good foreign webstores to search for PC engine games?

Just fyi, gameofjapan.com is also "Hit Japan" on ebay. From what I've gathered here on the forums, he often lists things on gameofjapan.com that he does not have in stock, so there could be some waiting involved. I've ordered from him plenty of times off ebay though and have always had good experiences (though some here have not).
