Title: Thexder type game anyone?
Post by: YANDMAN on February 01, 2014, 10:02:19 AM

Hi guys

Can anyone help with a possible game title, i saw a game that im sure was on the pc engine could of possibly been a cd game but it looked very like thexder, Robot mech that could morph into a spaceship to fly about , Side scrolling type affair, I wanted to get it but cannot remember for the life of me the title.

Thanks

If Heavy Unit is the game you saw, you do not want that.   It's complete shit.

Thanks for reminding me about this game (Thexder) again. :)

I played it at a friends house when I was young and always forget what it's called after figuring it out every few years or so. :P

Better off getting Daisenryaku or Nectaris!

If you have a psp, check out the Thexder remake called Thexder Neo.

Nope its not heavy unit, Its a multi direction scroller, You can walk either left or right and your down in some sort of caverns as a robot you have a type of homing lazer just like thexder but you can flip into a ship and get up to higher areas, heavy Unit on the megadrive is awesome, heavy unit on the engine is not so much.

... im sure was on the pc engine...

Possible weak link right there.

Anyway, other possibilities might be Browning, Blood Gear, Eternal City...

Atomic Robo Kid?

For anyone that likes Thexder, Fire Hawk (the sequel) is even better.  For the old GameArts PC games, stick to Japanese PC (MSX, PC-88) versions.  The Sierra Online conversions were a bit of a downgrade...

 Transform from ship to robot, and back again? That doesn't sound like any PC-Engine game that I know of.
