Title: 1991 PC Engine game of the year
Post by: guyjin on March 05, 2008, 03:53:14 PM
another ridiculously long list of games to choose from, (ONLY 108 this time) and only one vote to spend.

I picked Valis IV, closely followed by 1941 (avoiding the U.S. releases yet again).  It's damn hard to pick just one out of such a giant list, so I'm sure I've overlooked a couple of better games.

A long list of games again, but not a lot of strong options that appear here. I had picked Final Soldier for this poll, for it was the best option as a great shooter. It was the game where I had been introduced to some great bass music on the PC Engine, and had lead me into the discovery of Sunteam_Paul.

I wonder what is special about the Special Edition for this game (it could be a special feature such as a time-limit score mode for the Hudson Caravan game competition/carnival, but that is all I can come up with for it). I'm not too fond of the PC Engine version of Magical Chase, as the graphical style doesn't suit me. The games that are in a Japanese name are mostly rendered unfamiliar to me.

Sorry Kirby- but that's either A) crazy talk or B) uninformed talk.
Don't mean to sound harsh- but this particular list has some of the best games for the system.

With that said - for me it was between Adventure Island (Dragon’s Curse), Cosmic Fantasy 2, Exile, Neutopia II, PC-Genjin 2 (Bonk’s Revenge), Parasol Stars, Salamander, Spriggan, and Ys III...  I chose Parasol Stars.

Some personal faves on this list too-
1943 Kai, Cadash, Coryoon, Doraemon Arabian Nights, Genji Tsushin Agedama, Gradius, and Jackie Chan.

I voted for The Manhole. It was better on Memorex VIS (http://www.vidgame.net/vis/vis.htm) however.

Splash Lake is a better game, and more technically impressive, than most people give it credit for, especially for a regular CD game (non-Super). It gets my vote for doing so much with so little.

There aren't a lot of strong options to me from this list. There were a few good ones that I recongnize, such as Exile and Prince of Persia, but there are others that are either unfamiliar to me (like I had mentioned about those being of a complete Japanese name for some in my previous post on here), and some I didn't find to be too highly likeable upon observing them (I'm not too fond with 1943 Kai and Coryoon). For those that have been released in the US, I have the tendency to perfer the North American version over the Japanese one, which have to do with the changes done, and being in English for proper understanding (there is an exception, which I currently forgot the name).

A small error on my part :(. Sorry about that. I was going to correct this as soon as I could (I logged out of the Interent and turned off my computer for the night right after making that previous post).

Ah it's cool, I was just wondering if there was some emphasis I missed or something. :)

holy..... thats some release schedule for 1991 for just one console  :shock:

some impressive games in that list too!

Probably populous, Magical Chase and the konami games that really stand out.

Parasol stars was really limited.. soo limited that the local importers in my area never even knew it was released till years later..
