Title: Most Creative + Weirdest PC Engine Games ?
Post by: retrogamerzach on February 18, 2016, 11:39:30 AM

Hey guys, just today I watched a longplay of hany in the sky and hany on the road and thought it was quite unique in how the games played. It has now spurred my interest into discovering more!. So what are the PC Engines most creative and weird games ? :-k

Gonna echo Gomola Speed and Genpei Toumaden.

Also gonna add Gekisha Boy.  That's a pretty wacky one.

EDIT: sorry null, didn't see that you'd already posted that last one. >.<

I'd add:

* Somer Assault/Mesopotamia
It's not earth-shattering, but I enjoy the mechanics and the "rules" of this puzzle/shooter starring Slinky.


* Hany in the Sky is a weird shooter (due to mechanics...the gun rotates 360 degrees)...sadly, this conceit is more of a gimmick than a worthwhile game design (rotating the gun is more annoying than enjoyable). Sadly, not a great game.



If you had a category called GOOFY I would add:

God Panic — use of cover songs + wacky/weird/scatalogical  designs = some genuine, fleeting moments of creativity.

Toilet Boys — Juvenile scatalogical humor. Lame attempt to add some novelty to a otherwise generic Xevious-clone. But, as soon as I say that, I want to play it again.  WARNING! BUTTCOPTER APPROACHING! Plus,it teaches dumb Americans how to spell "bidet"...oh, no, it probably doesn't.

JJ & Jeff — Slightly inspired scatalogical humor in platformer a la Wonderboy 1/Adventure Island.

Emerald Dragon's battle system is rather unique.

Sol Moonarge, Neo Metal Fantasy, Dragon Knights, Linda3 and Madou Monogatari fit the bill for both.

L-DIS is definitely a weird one, still surprises me every time I play it.

It's one weird ass game. Even Elvis kind of makes an appearance here as well.


Edit: I see Black Tiger has already mentioned it.

I don't consider Paranoia/Psychosis to be a particularly good/creative game, but it has a few fleeting moments of inspiration (on second thought, no, it doesn't).

In the PCE version of Paranoia, an evil devil-alien antagonist (Ugar?) tells you to f*ck yourself at the end of every stage. And he's flipping you the bird.

That might deserve a footnote, I reckon.

Not really?

F@ck you.

Jinmu Densho was an attempt to incorporate platforming, melee combat, and control of your forward/backward movement into a Space Harrier style 3D game.  The result was terrible, but it was interestingly and uniquely terrible.

Toilet Kids wasn't mentioned? 

EDIT: Yes it was, I can't read because I'm retarded.
