Super dodgeball (hucard). It's way better than the nes version and a really fun game to pick up and play.
It's got good music, very pretty graphics and some badass attacks. The pce version also has a cool alien mode, where you can recruit team captains to form an all-star team, and fight the alien team on the moon.

Mizubaku Daibuken (Liquid Kids)

I don't hear about this nearly enough.  It's a wonderful game.  The play control is really tight, the graphics are bright and colorful and it pretty much plays like Parasol Stars: The Platformer

Heh, I've beaten this one too. Great game. I use the warp on the pyramid stage haha, and the whole final level is a pain.

Hany on The Road. I don't "hear" enough people talking about it. Pretty much a beej machine.

Long Live FACE!

Momotaro Katsugeki - Why isn't everyone holding this up as an example of an amazing platformer alongside the PC Genjin series? It's a superbly fun game and deserves much more love.

Future Boy Conan: A decent platformer based on an awesome anime series. The game plays well, can be found inexpensively, has great graphics/art and cool cutscenes. There aren't a lot of platformers on the PC Engine compared to the SNES and Genesis, so a quality one like this that last I knew isn't going for a lot of money makes it a great pickup for anyone.

Would you need knowledge of the OVA series to play this game?

No it's fine you don't need to have watched the anime to play the game.
The game is a digital comic/graphic adventure, so you'll need to like these kind of games to enjoy it.

Neo Metal Fantasy is a Phantasy Star II/IV style game with a bit more fantasy and non-technological environments, like the original Phantasy Star. It has some great and unique character designs and high quality cinemas with some of the best animation in a SCD game. All of the gameplay and interface is polished and everything feels intuitive. Bosses are full screen and very detailed, featuring amazing artwork. Each one is like battling Dark Falz from the original Phantasy Star. You get to pilot multiple vehicles, explore a huge world, an underworld and moon. The battle menu uses animated icons like the Shining games and there has been a detailed English walkthrough online since 1999. Everyone who enjoys JRPGs should play it.
