I've tried to do a PC Engine top 10, but I didn't have that many games for it so it's partly based on game I only played briefly, and there's no CD stuff:

1. R-Type
2. Devil Crash
3. Legenday Axe
4. Military Madness
5. Gunhed/Star Soldier/Solider Blade
6. Bloody Wolf
7. Bomberman '94
8. Jackie Chan Action Kung-Fu
9. Dungeon Explorer
10. Bonk/PC Kid

There's probably at least another dozen shmups of similarly high quality that could go on there (and plenty of other solid arcade conversions), but the Gunhed/Star Soldier series is probably the most highly rated.

Devil Crash has to be up there as it was even one of the best MD games. Legendary Axe is a great scrolling hack 'n' slash thing. Military Madness is an early Advance Wars. Bloody Wolf is a Commando/Mercs type game that looks a bit ropey at first but is surprisingly substantial and really opens out in later levels. Bonk was the PC Engine's answer to Mario and while nowhere near as good, it was fun nonetheless (think it also ended up on other platforms eventually). Jackie Chan is a quality cartoon-style scrolling platform/beat 'em up. Bomberman and Dungeon Explorer are mainly great as multiplayer games. And then R-Type is well... R-Type, perfectly converted and by far the best home version of its time.

Nice PC Engine list, I've played 6 of those and Jackie Chan on the NES. Ninja Spirit is another PC Engine game I've played a fair bit.

Seems like a nice console.

Was huge in Japan though right? Best selling home console over there from 87-90ish I remember reading somewhere once. Basically the period between Famicom and SFC.

edit: something like 10m sold in Japan I think it did.

Released far to late in the US, same month as Mega Drive?

Plus its games were far to Japanese centric to appeal to the West, at least in a mass way.

Sooner or later I'm gonna end up picking one up I think. To much of a curiosity not to.

Its region locked and had tons more games released in Japan so a TurbogGrafx-16 is out straight away.

The OG white model is the nicest looking but it only outputs RF so a Core or Core2 with composite are the best options.

Gamecube

01. Super Smash Bros: Melee
02. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
03. Super Mario Sunshine
04. Metroid Prime
05. Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader
06. F-Zero GX
07. Super Monkey Ball
08. Metroid Prime II: Echoes
09. Super Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
10. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Only three non first party titles and no room for Resident Evil Remake.

We have some good numbers now so hopefully I should be able to update consoles top tens (PS1, SNES MD) this week. Good work on the PC Engine JonB

I did have a jaguar, only had like 6 games though....

1. Alien v predator
2. Tempest 2000
3. Cybermorph
4. A platformer I can't remember
5. Doom

Isn't that the same as the awful SNES game?

Maybe it's just aged bad or the Jaguar version was superior to the 16Bit version?

Think the Jaguar version has a richer pallette and maybe a few more frames of animation but it's still the same unremarkable game.

Yeah, it's probably shit.  I seem to recall it had the original 2600 version hidden which blew my tiny mind at the time.

I always wanted to try the Road Rash and Need for Speed 3DO games, were they as good as made out to be?

I also had a weird Amstrad cartridge console, no idea what that was, had about 3 shit games on it.

Yep, brilliant. It's my fav ever Road Rash. A friend of mind had a 3DO, it was mind bending at the time.
