I'm looking to add another TG16 game to my collection sometime this year and so far all I own are shooters. Lets hear some recommendations from other genres. What are your favorites?
-
Action Strategy- Vasteel
Platformer- Legendary Axe
Puzzle- Boxy Boy
Action RPG- Neutopia
Does it need to be TG16 or are PCE games fine too?
And what games do you already have?
-
Hucards only? Or CD games also? :P
-
Xanadu, Xanadu II.
-
drac x
-
Jackie Chan's Action KungFu ... laugh if you will, but it's a solid platformer and I love it!
Military Madness ... classic military strat. game that is pretty fun and has some great music.
Somer Assault ... a very different platformer that's unique.
-
Ys I+II
Cosmis Fantasy 2
-
If your looking for a solid Platformer Bonks Revenge, Legendary Axe, and Ninja Spirit(My favorite) are all cheap and lots of fun. But I'm a newer collector like you so that's all the good games I have that aren't shooters.
-
Neutopia for Zelda-like gameplay needs
Any Bonk game for your basic platforming/I-didn't-claw-my-way-to-the-top-of-the-food-chain-to-eat-like-a-rabbit needs
Cadash for your multi-character side-scrolling magic-flinging action RPG needs
Ys I & II for your top-down bump-killing action RPG needs
Parasol Stars for your cutesy two-player enemy-tossing needs
Exile II for your why-the-f*ck-is-this-game-kicking-my-ass-at-every-turn platforming RPG needs (or Exile for the lack of the why-the-f*ck-is-this-game-kicking-my-ass-at-every-turn part)
-
Dungeon Explorer (Gauntlet with a story)
Neutopia (zelda with quality)
parasol stars
cadash
keith courage
shock man

I was looking specifically for Hu card only games, but thanks for the vast amount of recommendations!! I've got tons of different games form a huge variety of genres to look into now.
Someone asked which games I already had. Right now I've only got Ordyne, Sidearms and Blazing Lazers. I've beaten all 3 of them and am looking for something else to sink my teeth into.
-
No one mentioned Splatterhouse yet....one of my all time favorites.
-
Ninja Spirit
Dungeon Explorer
Chew Man Fu
Splatterhouse (Long as it's the pce one since the u.s version suffers from teh censorship)
Devil Crush
Neutopia
Legendary Axe
Shockman(Think of it as a megaman clone)
-
Shockman vs. Rockman
Shockman WIN
-
Bomberman 93
Final Lap Twin
Dungeon Explorer
-
Military Madness, Devil's Crush, Legendary Axe (not the second), Bonk's Revenge, Dragon's Curse, and Bomberman 93.
-
What kind of stuff got censored in the US Splatterhouse release? It doesnt really bother me if its just blood/gore and language that get censored.
I've never heard of Shockman, but I love Mega Man so I'm definitely gonna check out some videos of that one and it might be the game I get this year.
-
Shockman is not in the same league as Mega Man, and is one of the more expensive hu games. If you are only getting one game, I wouldn't start with that one.

Shockman is expensive? I dont like the game much at all. Kinda corny.
Non-shooter hu-cards:
Legendary Axe I and II
All the Bonks.
Dungeon Explorer
Ninja Spirit
Samurai Ghost (? right name)
-
I do not understand the word "shmup."
But my favorite genre on PCE is shooting games.
Don't have a fave, but I love Sylphia. ;)

I love Mega Man enough that even sub-par Mega Man clones are better than most games to me. I still need to look into a few more games that have been recommended, but this one is leading the pack so far. I also dont have a problem knocking off the pricier games first. Makes finishing up a collection go that much quicker.

The terror mask is red instead of white, the crosses and altar were removed from the end of level four to make it look less like a church, the same stage's boss was changed from an upside down cross to a portrait of Sarah Palin, and the grave at the end boss is marked by a headstone instead of a wooden cross.

Military Madness

Someone asked which games I already had. Right now I've only got Ordyne,
Oh, my. It's only uphill from here. What a horrible game to start a collection on.
Also, I wouldn't consider Shockman a MegaMan clone at all. At first glance it might appear so-- but you have to be conscious of the rest of the series and the backstory. The level design is not MegaMan-esque at all. Plus, there is more to the gameplay than first meets the eye... One other note: Shockman [US] is actually the second episode in a trilogy (part 1 and 3 are JP-only).

Thats why I like to collect and play everything myself. I've heard Ordyne was bad, but I actually like it a lot. Played through it multiple times even beat it with the girl to get the "true" ending.
Thanks for pointing out the level design differences from Sparkman to Mega Man. That was definitely one of the best parts about Mega Man.
