Since I'm on a trip down memory lane with my duo.. I thought I would ask this.. What was the first three games you ever played for your tg16/cdrom2/duo?
I bought my duo in 1994, and didn't play tg16 chip games until much later.. but the first three games I ever played were..
Exile Wicked Phenomenon
YS IV
Babel
What's your first three games ?
-
I'm not going to go through the whole story again, but I was a biased Genesis owner at the time trying to convince myself that the TG-16 didn't even compare.
The three games which won me over and made the Turbo/PCE my favorite to this day were Dungeon Explorer, Neutopia and Keith Courage.
The graphics, sound and gameplay were everything I was looking for from Genesis games, but couldn't find.
-
KC
VIGILANTE
VICTORY RUN
was hooked
EDIT: i bet some of the people here still havent played three games for it.
we had the one guy hanging around who wanted a fullset before playing anything.
-
The ones I got for Christmas with the console:
Legendary Axe
Splatterhouse
Keith Courage
Edit: I approve this thread. Let's get back to games, and playing them. Too much recent drama on other stuff... Trump bashing, sexual fantasies for members sisters (DoxPhile debauchery), Kickstarter and developer douche-baggery, flipper roasting....
Let's make Pcenginefx great again!
-
Hmm, this was a long time ago, but I think they were Keith Courage, Bonk's Adventure, and R-Type.
The next few were Ninja Spirit, Devil's Crush, and Super Star Soldier.
-
I wasn't even born during the 4th generation, but I still managed to grow up with the SNES, and for the longest time didn't even know the TG-16/PCE was even a thing...
I discovered the system through the Wii's Virtual Console and my first game played was Dracula X Rondo of Blood and I was immediately hooked! I wanted to know everything about the system, started downloading games left and right for it, both for the Wii and for emulators, I don't remember which where my 2nd and 3rd games, but I believe they were Ninja Spirit (because of the 16 bit gems video) and maybe Bonk's Adventure? Or was it Super Star Soldier? I don't remember, I was playing a big bunch of TG-16 games at the time (and still am)
Unfortunately the prices are a little prohibitive, and I'm a broke college student, so I don't own anything for the system yet (unless you count Virtual Console games as 'owning' them, in which case I 'own' plenty)
-
The first TG16 games I played were all of the big ones that people who owned Genesis and SNES always wanted to play but couldn't. When I went to my friend''s house who had TG16, I gravitated towards Bonk, Splatterhouse, and Cadash.
-
My first three games that I ever played were
Kieth courage
Dragon spirit
World class baseball
-
Got my setup using Christmas money back in the day with the CD attachment and 4 games from a local pawn shop. Games included:
Keith courage
Fighting street
Monster Lair
Ys 1 and 2.
-
The TG-16 that I won included Keith Courage and Bloody Wolf, so I started with those. I probably hit Bloody Wolf first since it was the better looking action game and I loved Contra coming off the NES. I began rentals mostly, but don't remember what HuCards I got started with.
The Turbo Duo I bought for $99 with the 5 pack-in games when TTi did its clearance sale so I had Ys Book I&II, Gate of Thunder, Bonk I&II, Bomberman, and Ninja Spirit. I probably started with Gate of Thunder because I already rented and beat the Bonk series and it's a shooter I could get out of the way before starting an action RPG like Ys Book I&II.
-
Bonks adventure was the only game we ever had, but man did we rock it
-
My first game was Keith Courage, followed by Fantasy Zone. I am pretty sure my third game was Neutopia.
-
Lets see. My first three Hucard games were:
Splatterhouse
Keith Courage
Dragon's Curse
My first three CD games were:
Y's I & II
Lords of Thunder
Valis II
-
Bonk
Bloody Wolf
Splatterhouse
-
First 3 games = the first 3 I purchased =
CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER:
1. Keith Courage (duh!)
2. Blazing Lazers
3.
(Legendary Axe)
(China Warrior)
(Vigilante)
I can't remember the chronology of the actual third game...
Genesis:
1. Altered Beast
2. Golden Axe
3. (Last Battle?)
(Jesus, again! It could have been a few different games for spot #3)
NES:
1. SMB
2. Excitebike
3. Popeye(?)
-
Bonk, Neutopia, Bloody Wolf
first ones I bought on my own were China Warrior, Fantasy Zone, and Keith Courage (because my aunt who owned the thing somehow didn't have it)
-
For me it was:
Keith Courage
Fantasy Zone
Dragon's Curse
-
My first three were cratermaze, blazing lazers and yo bro. Quite the selection.
-
1. Keith Courage
2. China Warrior
3. Splatterhouse
I used to keep my games arranged in chronological order, so I still remember the order up to a certain point. 4 was Blazing Lazers and 5 was R-Type.
I still remember the order of the first 30+ games I got for the NES as well.
-

In general not for my personal system but for the platform Keith Courage, Legendary Axe and Alien Crush
A year later when I got my system in Christmas of 1990 they were Bonk's Adventure, Keith Courage and JJ & Jeff.
-

Dead of the Brain 1 & 2 was released in 1999.
Motteke Tamago was "released" in 1997.
Tekipaki Wakin' Wakin' Love was released in 1997.
-
Keith Courage, Bonks Adventure, Fantasy Zone
-
I think the first 3 were Bonk's Adventure, Keith Courage(or JJ & Jeff, not sure) & Legendary Axe. Played them at a friends house before the night before heading to Disneyland. The main one I remember playing was Bonk, that one sticks out most in my mind.
-
Blazing Lazers on the display model at a Dillard's electronics section sold me on the system. I played Keith Courage next and then R Type shortly thereafter.
-
First paycheck from my first job in 1994 to pick up a used Duo! First 3 games I played were Ninja Spirit, Bonk's Adventure and Ys Book I$II
-
I played Keith, Bonk, Cyber Core, and others in in-store demos, but the first three I played on a system I owned were Ninja Spirit, Gate of Thunder, and Ys pack-ins for the TurboDuo.
-
I don't remember which were my first three games, the first time I played TG-16 was emulated in Magic Engine in the late 90s.
The first three games I played "for real" were Dungeon Explorer, Neutopia, and Keith Courage.
Sidenote: My used TG-16 was $20 from ebay in 2007, and in like-new condition. Dungeon Explorer and Neutopia were $15-20 shipped, Keith Courage $5.

Cratermaze does not get enough love.
-
That's because it's stupid and you should play the real version with Doraemon. huhuhuhu
-
Keith Courage, Alien Crush, then I am pretty Sure Bonk's Adventure. #4 was R-Type. It was all pretty early on in the system's lifespan, I got Bonk when it came out. I remember picking up R-type as a new game in our local flea market (Well, one of my parents did, I was a kid at the time.) Keith and Alien Crush were Xmas presents along with the TG-16. I still have to replace AC while it's still considered "common!"
-
First on the PCE ... sure it was
Kato and Ken Chan
Kung Fu (The)
Gunhed
-
Keith Courage was my first. I had yet to decide on what system to purchase and had ridden my bike to a newly constructed strip mall which had an audio video store, the store had a demo display of both a TG16 and a Genesis. Sorry to say here, the few minutes of KC I played swayed me to purchase the Genesis (one controller port of the TG16 also was a big factor).
Not too long into my ownership of the Genesis, I traded consoles (temporarily) with a neighbor for his TG16. Alien Crush and Dungeon Explorer taught me how to OBEY.
-
To me, if you didn't play China Warrior/TKF, you f*cked up in life.
-

Booby Boys is the real version, Doraemon is the bastardization.
-
The first I ever played was a display at an A&A Records in Halifax NS... Bonk's Adventure.
When I bought my own, I played Keith Courage 1st, then went to a game store and bought Galaga 90 and Bonk's Revenge.
-
Booby Boys is the real version, Doraemon is the bastardization.
I thought that was Booby Kids. Great music on the Famicom Booby Kids, by the way.
-
r-type I
yokai dochuki
bikkuriman world
-
Bonk
Cadash
Parasol Stars

Kid no Hore Hore Daisakusen is the original that Cratermaze was based on.

I like the music better on the TurboGrafx-16...
-
Bonks revenge
Gate of Thunder
Blazing lazers
-
Aside from KK which is an obvious one.
Blazing Lazers
JJ and Jeff
Legendary Axe
-
Quite easy to me since it was "recent":
Gates of Thunder
Castlevania
Dragon Ball Z
So far so good (even thou Dragon Ball is quite weird to play...)
-
Nobody I knew growing up owned or even talked about TG16. I vaguely remember seeing stuff at Toys R Us when I was a wee lad. NES was everything back then and then I moved on to Genesis after playing one at my friend's.
I didn't purchase my TG16 until 2010 or 2011 from Ebay CIB for like $70. My list is still fresh in my mind. Keith came with the console but a few weeks later I took a trip to Cleveland and found the next 2 at a resale shop (along with Metal Storm on NES for $15)
1.) Keith Courage
2.) Splatterhouse
3.) Bonk's Adventure
First CD game I owned and played through was Last Alert. I originally cobbled together a CD dock with Japanese CD-ROM2 for the sole purpose of buying Rondo. I didn't find a deal on it for about a year so I also acquired Y's I&II and It Came from the Desert in the mean time.
-
For that console generation, I grew up with a SNES, did some Mega Drive exploration over the past few years, and only in the past few weeks have I started my PC Engine journey — hence my registration on this forum. It's about damn time!
Here are my first three games:
[uldecimal][li]PC Genjin[/li][li]Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo[/li][li]Bomberman '94[/li][/ul]

What a great start!
-
Rtype when it first came out.
-
Most i can remember when i did in the early 90's.
Keith Courage
Bonks Adventure
Valis II
It was through a friend first which lead me to getting a TG16 asap.
-
Thanks for all the great responses, reading through them it seems like the majority got their start with the hucard titles. I have played a few hucards: Splatterhouse, Download, and Bonk's Adventure, come to mind, but for the most part I have always been a CD/SCD connoisseur, with a preference on Japanese RPG's e.g. Cosmic Fantasy IV, Ys IV, Tengai Makyo series, Star Breaker.
-
This is a tough one...
Keith Courage for sure, as it was the pack-in. But after that, I don't know. We had a rental place in my hometown and I'm almost certain I rented a few games before I was able to buy any new ones. The nearest store that sold Turbo games two hours away. So I think my first rentals were Victory Run and Blazing Lazers. Maybe JJ & Jeff and Dungeon Explorer, too. I'm not sure...
I didn't get to play CD games until the Duo came out.
-
My first three were Keith Courage, R-Type and Bloody Wolf in 1990.
Keith Courage was *alright*, but for a pack-in, at the time, I thought Altered Beast seemed much more impressive and "badass" (not to mention it was a recognizable title virtually every kid knew from the arcades). I still say, to this day, if they would have just completely axed all the overworld stages and used the extra ROM space to add more backgrounds/enemies/frames/power-ups and general variety to the underworld stages, Keith Courage would have been killer. I mean, it controls just fine and the hit detection seems tight... there's just no variety or cohesiveness. It could have been more like the platforming and hack n' slash elements of Rocket Knight, if they'd have done it right. If the first thing kids saw when they fired up the game was some badass looking red, white and blue samurai-ish mech running around hacking and slashing, and the game was good, it would have pushed systems... but it wasn't. And it didn't. f*ckin Hudson...
Bloody Wolf and R-Type blew me away, however. I had no prior knowledge of either game or even what genre they were until the Christmas unwrapping and saw the boxes. I think my immediate mental reaction, after looking at the reverse of the boxes was, "Ohhhh! THOOOOSE kinds of games... awwww yea!"
-
Made a mistake on my first 3 list before, actually it was:
1. Strider Super Grafx
2. Dracula X Special HuCard
3. RPC Genjin
-
Holy shit, love the avatar!
I hope you're talking about the Danzig-led Misfits! I dislike the Jerry Only version that's around today — the Shitfits, as I call them. And even if Danzig returned, they're all too old for me to pay attention. But man, how they dominated punk in the early 80s!
Here are my first three games:
[uldecimal][li]PC Genjin[/li][li]Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo[/li][li]Bomberman '94[/li][/ul]
What a great start!
Thanks! I like all three, though I still prefer the Sonic and Mario "mascot" games to PC Genjin. But PC Genjin is a solid introduction to the system because of the bold graphics and colors. I can't say I'm a fan of the music though!

Actually I was referring to the 1946 film serial The Crimson Ghost... (https://s3.amazonaws.com/tapatalk-emoji/emoji1.png) I kid... Danzig misfits for sure.

First was Keith Courage on a friend's machine.
2nd was proooobably legendary axe, but I'm uncertain. I know I had a TG-16 for a while before a duo, but maybe it wasn't that long, because the biggest memory for me was definitely the gate of thunder pack-in and Ys books 1&2.
hard to get it sorted in my head because it was probably 1993?
-
Bomberman, Fantasy Zone and Space Harrier, in that order.
-
My first 3 games I played was sometime around '90-'91 at a friends house.
Keith Courage
Bonk's Adventure
TV Sports Football
-
ive only been collecting turbo for about 5 years so the first 3 for me were keith courage, bonk adventure and blazing lazers
-
Kieth Courage, Neutopia and Dungeon Explorer
Kieth Courage is there cause it came with the system.
First three cd games after getting a TurboDuo are.....
Y's 1&2, Dungeon Explorer 2, Exile 2
I skipped the 4n1 disc for a bit but once I tried that, Gate of thunder blew me away at the time.
-
Bonk's Adventure, Keith Courage and JJ and Jeff.
-
magical chase, dynastic hero and saphire
-
Splatterhouse
Bonk Adventure
Blazing Lazers
-
On emulator Cadash, Knight Rider, Ninja Ryukenden.
On real hardware, Wonderboy III, Parodius, Bomberman 93.
-
My best friend growing up had one and the first three games we played where.
Bonk's Adventure
Bloody Wolf
Splatterhouse
-
I got my Turbo for Xmas of 1990. This is interesting for me because I can't remember the first 3 games I played for any system (and I've had every nintendo, most sega, Playstation etc) other than the Turbografx. Those were (in order played):
1. Splatterhouse
2. KC (obligatory... hated it then, hate it now)
3. Legendary Axe (rental)
-
I got lucky when my mom bought me and little brother my spoiled cousins TG-16 with 5 or so games. The first 3 I remember playing we're Galaga 90, Bonks Adventure and Bloody Wolf. Im 100% about Galaga being the one I played the most that first couple of weeks on my little 13 inch black and white tv. I didn't really get a chance to appreciate all the nice colors that most games had for a while(I was even more enthralled with it then) A few years down the road I found a couple of games at his house visiting my great aunt. I found one of the legendary axes and Bonks Revenge. Godbless my mom buying that for us as we only had a nes and smb/rad racer which we're fun but didn't exactly get me into gaming like the TG-16 did. Years later im still still playing the good stuff. Ohh I never made a tread to introduce myself but my name is Sam. I've been lurking for a bit and recently had some systems fixed/modded so im really happy to be here on a forum for all the PC Engine/TG-16 stuff. :D
-
Bonks Adevture (cousins home in Dallas TX when I was maybe 12?)
Then in 2011-2012? When I got my TG-16 from a garage sale it had the following games which I picked up. Sigh back when people didn't care about the the TG-16. Guy sold the core system for $25 and $5 a game.
Splatterhouse
First two Bonk games
A racing game
That battle tennise game
Ninja Spirit
Dungeon Explorer
Blazing Lasers
Bloody Wolf
I couldn't say which of these games was my second and third game ever played. If I had to guess? Ninja sprit and bloody wolf.

Welcome aboard, Sam!

Welcome, comrade. :)
If you like Rad Racer (I do), then grab Victory Road, which cranks up the challenge with a parts management mechanic.
Also, the Space Invaders HuCARD (the special mode) is a lot of fun if you like classics (Galaga).
:)

Bonks Adventure, King of Casino, Keith Courage and Takin it to the Hoop came with the Turbografx 16 me and my dad exchanged for a NES with around 20 games to a street vendor at Coney Island. Back in the day there were a lot of second hand shoppes across the street from the amusement park.
