Where the hell is Bravoman ? ? ? ? ?

added.

edit:
Cleaned up the first post a little. Removed some extra line breaks and added the games that I voted for in a spoiler. Also added titles to the spoilers to make it just a little shorter.

Bomberman '93 is the definitive Bomberman experience and as such, the best game on Turbografix-16

Somer Assault! I haven't played a game this unique in a long time. Definitely worth looking into.

 

[Vigilante]

Castlevania Rondo of Blood.

List updated.

TG16 had the definitive port of pac-land, for sure. Also had a great port of DaiMakaiMura (Ghouls N' Ghosts) for the supergrafx.

I still consider Gekisha Boy and Ai Cho Aniki to be the weirdest games on the system.

 

[PolloDiablo]

Rondo Of Blood
Fighting Street (not because the game itself.... its sucks. but hey... its the 1st Street Fighter)

+1 Ai Cho Aniki/Choaniki

Updated. Sorry for slacking and taking so long.

Edit: Also checking & updating game play links as at least one (Castlevania) was broken.

Apparently this system turned 25 less than a week ago, and I found this nice little article about it. Seems like an approprate place to share. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/11/feature_the_making_of_the_pc_engine

edit: also on the same site is this follow up article and interview:

Spending more and more time looking at these forums. I come across this thread while looking for good games to check out on my new dstwo. No one listed Keith Courage? I played the shit out of back in the early 90's. I even tracked down a working tgfx in high school(2000's) to get my fix again. Found a working console with controller and arcade stick dirt cheap. Sad now it's just sitting in a box in my parents house.

tl;dr Keith Courage

From what I remember it had to worlds half as a man then half in a robot. It was kind of brutal, maybe I just wasn't good then. This and splaterhouse were staples at my cousins when I went over there.

Yes it does! But I'm taking this as another vote for Blazing Lazers because that game is awesome.

I played that game so much at one point one of my friends asked me if that was the only game I had for the system... lol

 

[gumgod]

Blazing Lazers is one of my favorite retro games. I need to try again to beat it. In the past I've only gotten to area nine. I understand there's some debug screen or something where you can get extra lives, but that's lame.
