The PC Engine Racked and Stacked
Borgmaster has instructed me to render this list. I render it thusly, at least in so far as the 100 entry limit shall allow.
List items
-
Haven't written about it yet outside of mentioning it in my 2022 roundup post. Suffice to say Devil's Crush is a top five PC Engine game.
-
"With apologies to Victory Run, it’s the first truly essential game in the system’s library. You owe it to yourself to have a look at this thing if you are interested in the platform." -2023
-
"Victory Run gets an unreserved recommendation as the platform’s oldest immediately fun game. It has a measured depth to it, looks and sounds great for a 1987 home console game, plays well, and will take a few attempts to master." -2022
-
"A very no frills puzzle game, and sometimes that’s what the heart wants. Just swap to Melody 2 as soon as you can, the droning sustained chord in the background of Melody 1 will make you eat your hands." -2022
-
"Eh. The underlying game is fine, but I’m taking the Master System version over [Bikkuriman World] all day." -2022
-
"The game is eminently easy to dunk upon, accomplishing so very little with so much. Twelve levels slowly walking forward punching wasps and dodging rocks? No thank you." -2022
-
"Youkai Douchuuki is about as middling a game as I can imagine... [N]othing to recommend it today." -2023
-
"[World Class Baseball and World Stadium] are both ancient sports games which hold limited contemporary appeal beyond firing up for the sort of TurboGrafx-16 multiplayer parties dreamed of by only the most perverse YouTube retro gaming personalities." -2023
-
"The appeal here is getting a Family Stadium-style ballgame onto the platform, nothing more or less." -2023
-
"I’ve messed with quite a few “classic” JRPGs at this point... I don’t recall any of those games filling me with as much dread as Necromancer did when, upon defeating my first trash mob of one bug, I was awarded one (1) single experience point and two (2) gold." -2023
-
"It’s a hidden object platformer. Jesus. I don’t want this at all." -2022
-
"What a fucking embarrassment to this entire medium... Not just the worst game I've played to date on the PC Engine, but one of the worst I've ever played to completion." -2023
