Toughest PC Engine game?
« on: February 04, 2014, 10:19:07 PM »
Just curious, what's the toughest PC Engine/CD game you've played? It's hard to say for me, personally, Saigo no Nindou (Ninja Spirit) is pretty tough but I wouldn't call it -the- hardest PCE game I'd played. I'll be able to answer my own question later when I'm not so tired, haha.

Rayxanber II is one of the best and hardest games on the system.

The TV Show.  The awful controls make it 100000000000x harder then it should have been.

Rayxanber II of course. R-Type stage 6 is also a brick wall for me and Gradius II on anything but the easiest difficulty. I've also never been able to finish the turbo version of Raiden either.

Youkaidouchuuki was really hard too for how short of a game it is. Took me maybe 13 hours (3-4 hours a night for a couple nights) of playing over and over to beat a 25 minute game

This...and also Cyber Cross, but maybe I mean painful. I didn't like that game at all.

Rayxanber II

Rayxanber II is one of the best and hardest games on the system.

Agree.  Anyone beat it?  Any tips for getting passed level 4?  I can easily get to level 4, but beating the level seems impossible for me.  I've attempted level 4 over 100 times now and only got to the boss once.


I recently was playing Legion and it seems pretty tough too.  The last level is crazy and almost impossible to not die immediately.

I've beat it lots of times. Level 4, during the 2nd half the stage get the ice weapon and use the straight up or down position (this will help kill the chaser aliens quickest). Memorize when all the snakes and aliens come out and you will need to use your speed burst quite a bit to try to avoid all the mayhem. Make sure your turbo switch is in the middle position for shooting. Concentrate on killing the aliens and avoiding the balls. It takes skill, memorization and some luck as those bouncing balls are unpredictable.

Keep playing!! Level 6 is my favorite level of any shooter ever and stage 5 is also very cool!!!

You got some mad skills! :clap: Thanks for the helpful tips; gives me some hope.  Those bouncing balls always kill me.  I'm going to give it another go soon and hopefully I can get past level 4 someday.
