Recommend me Sharp X68000 games!
« on: February 08, 2017, 08:55:23 AM »
So, are there any X68k fans in here as well? I'd love some game recommendations, I'm a big fan of all sorts of action games, Platformers, Shmups, Beat'em ups, Racing games (so long as they're not top-down) and Fighting games, Especially Fighting Games, the more fighting games you can recommend me the better!
Not a big fan of puzzle games, adventure games, visual novels and eroges though...

Here's what I've already played on the X68000:
After Burner II
Akazukin ChaChaCha
Akumajou Dracula
Aquales
Arcus Odyssey
Asuka 120% Burning Fest (Probably my favourite game on the system)
Bomber Man
Chase HQ
Cotton
Daimakaimura
Darius
Etoile Princesse (My other favourite game on the system)
Final Fight
Gradius II
Granada (My Other other favourite game on the system)
Mad Stalker
Sol Feace
Space Harrier
Star Trader
Star Luster
Street Fighter II
Strider Hiryu
Super Hang-on
Super Star Shooter
Tatakae Konyako EX
Thunder Blade

If you know a really good action game that's not on this list, particularly if it's a fighting game, please let me know about it, I'd love to play more on this incredible machine!
Thanks in advance!

Just wait for SuperDeadite to provide an adequate and worthy answer.

But my personal recommendations would be to try out Chorensha, R+R, Illumination Laser (if you have the necessary ram), Salamander, and Direct-X for great shooters. THere are a ton more great ones that I cannot think of off the top of my head. You're making me wish I had brought my setup with me to my college apartment.

I assume since you've tried so many that you have some sort of CF in your unit.

Honestly just spend hours watching through SuperDeadite's YT: https://www.youtube.com/user/superdeadite?&ab_channel=superdeadite

Yeah, I have done a LOT of x68k videos, all on real hardware already.
There is pretty much no end to the doujin fighters on this system, there are hundreds of them, and most are garbage lol.

VS. Memorial is probably my favorite though.


Are you emulating?  Some of the best games require rather special setups.  Neural Gear is fantastic with a Cyberstick, but otherwise borderline unplayable.

Oh and play Choujin.  Everyone must play Choujin.

Thanks for the recommendations ^^
But oh I wish I had my own 'unit', too bad the cash is short on my end, so I'm just doing emulation, with that in mind RAM shouldn't exactly be a problem...

I'll check out VS. Memorial, but it sure could have used some better music >w>

I play most of my games with my SNES USB controller, since most X68000 games only use 2 buttons I'm fine with just using the D-pad and the A and B buttons, it works wonders!
(I know most people prefer to use B and Y, but I prefer A and B)

It's still one of my favorites. BUT given that he's just emulating on his PC, couldn't he just download the PC version of the game and make his life a little easier?

I've played it on the emulator already, it's pretty good, however when I was looking for it on the internets I found out that there was an X68000 version of Detana! Twinbee, and that game pretty much stole my attention, holy crap, it's so much better than the PC engine version! (Which often isn't the case)
That soundtrack, I'm listening to it right now as I type this, I'm addicted to it, sounds so great! And the graphics though, absolutely brilliant! Not like the PCE version doesn't have great graphics either, but that extra background layer made all the difference in this version...

I also tried out Choujin, it's pretty good too, couldn't find Illumination Laser or R+R yet... Gonna look for the rest soon!

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try it on my Win95 rig.

There's a River City Ransom (Kunio) port, but it's lengthened with a bunch of repetitive areas.

Might be worth checking out, though stick with the Turbo CD port.

Some random video

Thanks! Although I think I'll be just sticking with the GBA version...
