Join Johnny Millenium The Happy Console Gamer as he discusses new video game news and reviews forgotten games that not many people know about but should!
During the early 90s, I worked on several of the PC Engine games to localize them into English - a couple of the Bonk games, two sports games and Dungeon Master III: Theron's Quest. Excellent machine in its day.
When I first came to Japan one of the first things I did was buy a PC Engine Duo-R. Five years and hundreds of games later and I'm still hooked on it and always finding new and interesting titles floating around out there.
+KidShoryuken Yeah it has soo many great games on it! it could take you a life time to explore them all!
HappyConsoleGamer Indeed, my collection may never be complete.
Hi Jim, nice to see you here! :)
PCE was my childhood memory, my 2nd console ever owned (My 1st was Famicom and its disk system). Like 2 years after I owned my PCE, I further bought the CD Rom2 "briefcase" and that amazing add on opened up my dream CD games library: YS 1&2, Fighting Street, Cobra, Wonder Boy, Far East of Eden etc. The CD quality music together with the vivid graphics made me hardly believed it's a 8-bit gaming console omg...it's totally comparable with its rival at that time - the SEGA Mega Drive! If NEC will ever remake this console I'll definitely buy it!
Oh man, what you've done...Since I watched this video the last year, I've dreamed every day with this console. And today, FINALLY, I decided to go with it. I'm SO happy right now...I'm from Spain and here PC Engine is like somekind of myth. I've picked up a Core Grafx and a couple of games and now I'm the most poor guy in the neighbourhood, and the most happy as well!!!
I've picked up Ninja Spirit, GunHed, and Bonk 1 and man...oh man. You've discovered to me a new universe!!
Hey that is awesome!!! have fun! classic system!
Such a satisfying click sound when the HuCard is inserted. Who else here in 2020 after the release of the Turbo/PCE minis?
I have a Turbo Duo that I inherited from my dad, with a whole bunch of games. My favorite one is called Magical Chase it is such a fun side scrolling shooter. Love them. He was a avid fan of Hudson games and collected as many as he could. The games are so much fun! Recently purchased a Super Console Cube X3 that has like 110,000 games from sixty consoles. There are PC engine titles from Hudson that I didn't even know existed, and they are fantastic to play. The titles my dad bought are on it also. Great video, happy gaming!! :)
Ninja Spirit got me really interested in the TurboGrafx 16. I was first introduced to Ninja Spirit in the arcade and loved it. I agree that the pc engine console design is really nice.
+lotsofgames Amazing you played it in arcades!
Crazy how this thing flew under my radar for 30 years. Now I'm emulating tons of great stuff on it.
Holy shit Johnny, I cant believe you still remembered getting the Interface unit from me years back, honored. kick ass job on the review as always, enjoyed a bit of a look at your good sized collection as well man!
+lukemorse1 Hey thank you for that Interface unit! The gift that keeps on giving!
haha of COURSE! that was such a big deal! that and Lesters back in the day...
+lukemorse1 I just wanted to say HOLY SHIT in regards to the amount of PC engine games
+lukemorse1 Luke, I just wanted to say I really admire you technical skills! I used to really enjoy watching you work on a system! Im a weirdo, I love learning about that kinda thing!
crazy how far we’ve come, now you can fit every first party switch game in your back pocket
Awww yeah I hear that Rondo of Blood music in the background there. Best Castlevania game ever made in my book, what a wonderful experience.
I remember playing Samurai Showdown 1 & 2 for the Turbo graphics 16. I really love that fighting game! I also found Samurai Showdown for PC about 10 years ago under there used PC games. I have no idea they made it for PC also! The PC version had SS 1 & 2 on it!
I love how excited you sound when talking about the PCE. I feel the same way =) Most underrated system in history
I loved the PC ENGINE; the design of the console and the games were awesome- I was at secondary/high school in the UK at the time and it was like having an arcade machine. We loved it. The side scrolling shooters like R-Type were awesome.
Too bad some of PCE's SHMUP are really expensive,R-Type was one of them so to all the original owners of those game I envy you!
Not in Japan.
You not being a fan of the word Shmup makes you my hero.
+Otis Whitaker I call them space shooting games :P
U read my mind! +Otis Whitaker that's all I came on the comments section for! :P
+Otis Whitaker I can't stand it either. I'm not sure at what point the FPS become just "shooter," but we have decades of shooters prior, and "Shoot 'em Up" and "Shmup" just sounds ridiculous, like it's a Wild West game or something. Come on. They're shooters! Oh well.
My rant on the subject:
I still call shoot em ups shoot em ups (shmups is a retarded phrase that
just shouldn't not be said out loud), don't let the shitty fps genre
steal the title shoot em up away from it's rightful owner. Make people
call those games first person shooters or third person shooters or doom
clones whatever but fps lovers can fuck off trying to steal shoot em ups from a game genre that has been called that since the 70s.
+Barry's World I'd honestly never even heard them called "shoot 'em ups" until fairly recently. To me, they were always shooters, since Galaga or Space Invaders. Doom and the like were first-person shooters, and X-Wing and the like were space combat simulators or something along those lines. :)
that ninja warriors walk cycle never fails to give me a chuckle. Also that Armed F ship design on the box art is one of the coolest I've seen, to this day.
You got it bang on,when you said it's so Japan. Absolutely right and that's why I love it too. It's a great console to own. I've not had one long and I have a modest 15 hucard complete games so far,but it's quickly becoming my favourite retro console. I love that I don't have any nostalgia for this system and it's like a journey of discovery for me. Any PCE content you upload will be thumbed up immediately :)
Castlevania Ronda of blood is one of the big pc engine game out there!!!
That one is my very first Import game right there. I bought it at Die Hard Game fan back in 1993 and I still have it today. that game Rocks!
It's for turbo cd
That game is so good
That game alone is worth the price of the Turbo/PC mini.
Awesome Johnny, I love my PC engines, especially my briefcase unit with the CD-ROM. Both of my machines are still working perfectly after all these years. The selection of games in Japan is massive. Like you said there are literally hundreds of games for just about any genre to collect for. Also for anyone looking for the games but not the system, the Wii still has quite a few on the virtual console and there are even a few available on psn for the PS3 and psp/vita.
It's so easy to just listen to you talk about something you're incredibly passionate about. Your content rocks.
I fall asleep to your channel. Videos on loop. Something soothing about it
Such an elegant little machine. Those hucards are still beautiful.
Rondo of Blood music in the beggining! Fuck yeah!
Thank you for this episode, it's been a long time coming ;)
So happy to know that you will review lots of PC Engine games in the future
Very cool episode, i wish you cover all your PC engine games!
I had the same fascination with the TurboGrafx 16 and those credit card games! It was next level back then! Even more than the SNES and Genesis! Then to find out it could even get more powerful with a CD-ROM drive for more extremely detailed graphics! It just blew me away!!!!! I wish I lived in Japan at the time because it was so popular there!!!!!
Well I only have 3 reasons to play PC-Engine
1) Super Star Soldier
2) Salamander
3) Rondo of Blood
The best games out there and I can only play them thanks to the emulation, if someone never played Rondo of Blood, try the English patched version on an Emulator... or the PSP port, is a hell of a game :D
+Fury Rage Strip Fighter?
Mexxron Fidds
Strip Fighter?, I never heard of that game... kinda interesting ...... name.
But if you're talking about Street Fighter well, I like more the Genesis version (for the speed) and the SNES version (for the soundtracks), I played the PC-Engine port and... meh, it didn't had better music than the SNES or better speed than the Genesis, so is not a reason for me to get the PC-Engine turned on :3
I mean, to turn on the ... argh, you got the picture ;)
***** It's kind of not in the main stream for obvious reasons. It's literally named Strip Fighter because women are stripped and naked.while fighting. It's hilarious. lol
Mexxron Fidds
Seems like the kind of game that Rule 34 would develop :D ... I'm googlin it right now!
Thanks for the tip, if Cammy White is there, damn... I MARRY WITH YOU!
Nice to meet you!
I am very happy that Japanese games are highly evaluated.
Wow this is a very mighty PCE collection, they worth a ton! Nice collections!
Your enthusiasm is infection, Johnny.
Thank you for all of your awesome videos.
I used to want the PC Engine so hard it hurt, it was out of my reach...... until now. Thanks for the reminder, great video!
wow thanks for this video. I had no idea about it. As a kid I never had this stuff growing up but I did know a few people who had games that I had a chance to enjoy on occasion and I was a videogame lover... hell I still am even more than ever. Didn't get my NES until 1990 and that was a surprise from my parents. I grew up on videogames and it's nice to see collectors like you showing me these amazing systems.
PC-Engine was my first ever home console ! First home console with cd-rom, Tengai Makyo 2 opening was stunning ! Still have the DUO in my basement.
It's amazing, everytime I see a new episode coming out.. it puts me in a good mood.
Thank you @HappyConsoleGamer
0:45 Kid Niki: Radical Ninja for NES. OMFG Such nostalgia!
I love seeing the differences in the Japanese releases compared to the ones the made it over here like Bonk turning into a chick in PCkid 2.
It's amazing that the PC Engine came out in 1987. I suddenly realized I had never once played a PC Engine game which is something I fixed in early 2014. Bonk's Adventure surprised me with how fun and well designed it was. Shortly after, I decided to pick up a few of the base units, as the original white system and the two Core Grafx models are so beautifully designed. I had a Master System growing up, so the cards didn't surprise me, but the HuCards are fun to collect. You put it so well pointing out how very Japanese the system is, and it's fun to take chances on obscure, inexpensive HuCards and seeing how the games are. It's funny you put this video up now as I was just planning to investigate some strange games I haven't played much yet as well as seeing what other games are available from the sellers I like. Great video, HCG. I definitely agree that the PC Engine rocks.
PC Engine now is $80 console only or $150 for the console plus accessories controller, video cable and power suply. With CD player is 300+ in all the versions core duo, etc. This console are getting higher prices very, very fast. If someone want to collect or play this console have to buy it as soon as posible, because in a few years will be inaccessible for the majority of gamers.
I noticed that the prices are really rising!
my friend showed me his PC Engine a year before the turbografx even came out. i love how small it is. and it blew me away the moment he inserted GunHead (Blazing Lazer). I was like DAAAAAMNNNNN this is awesome!!!
Speaking of the PC Engine, it's such a pity we didn't get NEC's two shoot'em up PC titles ReVolte and PureVex for the West back in the day.
I saw your collection there at the start of the video and I very nearly drooled.
Awesome look at an awesome family of consoles! It seems I'm always learning something new about it--I hadn't seen or heard about the "briefcase" attachment for the CD attachment! I got a PCE Duo-R just about a year ago and have been enjoying every minute I spend with it. Fantastic, just fantastic, piece of hardware! I hope I can build up my collection to rival yours someday. ;)
I'm not sure if you'll see this comment, Johnny, but if so, could you tell me how you captured your gameplay footage? It's really sharp and crisp. I use the composite out, which is OK, but have been thinking about going for an RGB mod...
Jimmy you have to have your Duo R Rgb modded :) It's the only way forward!
If ever there was an icon among SHMUP villain icons, it would have to be Dobkeratops from the R-Type series, hands down.
has it arrived?
Ninja Spirits has a bad ass sound track. I remember playing that at my cousins house when it first came out and just being blown away.
"It had a pseudo-16 bit feel" Pseudo my arse, it DID have 2 16 bit graphics processors, only the CPU was 8 bit... (And even that 8 bit CPU was very capable and fast! It even surpassed the 16 bit CPU of the SNES) The colour-count was amazing btw, the Turbografx 16 could show more colours on-screen than the Genesis and the SNES combined, and bigger sprites too! (although less sprites on-screen and per-scanline)
The only technical disadvantage the PC engine had in comparison to the SNES and Genesis was its single Background layer against 2 of the Genesis and 3 of the SNES, because of that many games for the system lacked parallax scrolling, but many tricks could be used to simulate having extra layers, but I won't get into those, just look at Magical Chase, Gate of Thunder and Lords of Thunder and you'll see some amazing Parallax Scrolling being done on a single BG layer...
Timothy Vreeland Well, I actually love the SNES sound, it has my favourite soundchip ever, but the CPU was horrible... The CPU could only go as high as 3.6 MHz but the bus was stuck at 2.4 MHz actually...
The graphics were good though, and that's about the only real advantage of the SNES, it had both the high colour count (but not as high as the Turbo) and the 3 BG layers, but even then the SNES rarely (if ever) did higher resolution games... Still SNES games did look pretty...
What makes people think the SNES is more powerful are the built-in support for certain visual effects (mode 7 and semi-transparency comes to mind)
Yeah, the CPU was really crippled, the system was low-res and I can totally see someone (like you) not liking the sound, but some other people do like it a lot and you gotta give it that it did have some pretty darn good games (although not as many hidden gems as the competition) and the graphics did look pretty and rather impressive for the time...
+Timothy Vreeland The SNES had the best GPU of that era (unless you want to count the Neo-Geo AES). It's only real weakness is it's low resolution (which is the same as the PC-Engine, and of course not counting the horrendously limited hi-res mode only truly utilized in a single game) and somewhat stiff sprite limits.
The sound front is a bit of a mixbag, sampled sounds are very stiff and unnatural for some instruments but are great for special effects and voices (using the right amount of memory that is)
The CPU on the other hand is extremely slow and a real bottleneck.
Timothy Vreeland (Warning: long text)
Well, the Genesis is only able to do Red Zone and Star Fox without an extra chip because of its AMAZING 68000 CPU clocked at 7.3 MHz!
And I'll have to agree that when used correctly the Genesis soundchip can sound pretty darn awesome because, well, it's friggin' FM synth, nothing in there is compressed, unless they use sound samples on FM channel 5, the Genesis soundchip handles samples atrociously, but that aside, everything else synthesized on-the-fly...
BUT when it's to compare the Genesis soundchip to other better FM synth chips it kinda pales in comparison... I'll give the Genesis this much: It does sound a lot better than any Konami FM chip (the most notorious being the VRC7 used in the Famicom game Lagrange Point) and it also sounds better than most mid-80s arcade games and even the sound-blaster for the old IBM compatibles, but when you compare it to other better FM synth chips like the one inside of the Neo Geo, the Sharp X68000, the NEC PC-88 and PC-98, the Fujitsu FM-7 and FM Towns, the Genesis just pales in comparison... The YM2612 (the soundchip of the Genesis) is just a budget version of the YM2608 which is found on the NEC computers, it has a certain distortion which was notoriously fixed on the later Genesis models which "Ruined" the soundtracks of games that took advantage of such distortion, and it lacks a real PCM (which the YM2608 had) and lacks the SSG channels which it made up for with the PSG channels it carried over from the Master System...
In any case, the Genesis sounds great! But it's not the best... I like it a lot! But I also like the Super Nintendo sound a lot for completely different reasons... But you know what sounds friggin' awesome? The soundchip of the system shown in this very video! Just listen to the soundtracks of Soldier Blade, Magical Chase, Bloody Wolf, After Burner II, Dragon's Curse, Batman, Devil's Crush, Cratermaze, among many many others, They've done all of that on 6 sound channels! And it still sounds awesome!
Everybody talks about Donkey Kong Country music and Streets of Rage music, yeah, we all know! They sound awesome! But the PC engine also does, so let's get more people talking about Soldier Blade music!
+Ruko Michiharu Most know that these days.It never bother me that the console was 8-bit with a 16-bit processor.Not the best time to collect for the console either,unless you ignore the TG16 and stick to the PCE.The other being buy a flash cart,such as the turbo everdrive to play the expensive hucards.Lucky for me,when i bought the console again in 2005 i was able to rebuy what i owned before plus more.
+Timothy Vreeland I'm not sure what you're taking about, the Super Famicom sound chip was NOT garbage. In any way. I'm guessing you've never played Actraiser. This is not some Nintendo fanboy response either - I'm probably the biggest PC Engine fan you could meet. I own every single piece of PCE hardware that NEC ever released. The Super Famicom, Mega Drive & PC Engine were all amazing in their own ways, they all had strengths and weaknesses. Your comments just come off a fanboy rant.
Seriously considering getting a PC Engine for our collection. Wanted one since 1987!
I just bought my first pc engine duo r, it’s coming in already with a full recap, region mod and rgb, and I’m binging every video you have on it, so excited to have one
when I got my TB16, I found out about it in a comic book back in 89 90, and I couldn't ignore it. When I finally got one I loved it a lot, those HU cards were so small, and it blew my mind. If you think about it, it's still far ahead of its time.
Its a great platform and was so ahead of its time! Great enthusiasm bro.. keep it up..!
Wow, for an 8 bit machine these graphics are impressive and beautiful. :o and that's quite a selection. I want one!
What struck me as nuts was having all those Sega titles on the Engine. Outrun, Alterbeast, and Afterburner to name a few. Also some other solid arcade ports were Operation Wolf, Double Dragon 2 and Chase HQ. I've been wrestling with selling off my game collection and the hardest is going to be the PC/Turbo stuff. I'm probably one of the few people that have their original Turbo games complete and mint (outer cardboard boxes) still plus I have a ton of sealed PC Engine games.
+MRW2276 Altered Beast, not alterbeast
Faved. Seriously love this channel, because it further expands upon things I knew about from back in the day, but really really and truly informs me about them beyond what I though I already knew. Gaming Gold, this channel ^~^ OH and PS, I used to play R Type, which were a fantastic series of games. Good times.
I didn't learn about the system until a Homestar Runner cartoon mentioned it about ten years ago.
The TG16 was sort of before my time. I'm old enough to remember when the SNES and Genesis were still current, but I was just a little kid. My only exposure to video games was what I got to play and see firsthand, and what I saw in commercials. I didn't start learning to read until 1994, so I wouldn't have been able to read about it in gaming magazines even if I knew those magazines existed. I didn't have any older brothers or cousins or anything like that around who could have mentioned it, either. Relatively obscure stuff like this, the Jaguar, AES, Lynx, etc were a complete unknown until I got into high school and was able to both use the internet more often and read the stash of old game magazines that my art teacher had lying around.
13:13 Ninja Warriors does have a EPIC soundtrack, just the first level music is awesome. Great episode, this was one of my favorites!
Back in around 1989-1990, there was a shop on Kingsway that sold PC Engine. I got my base ystem there together with The King Fu. This shop then moved into Aberdeen Centre when the mall was first opened in 1990(or 1991?).
Ninja Spirit is amazing! Really dark atmosphere, great music, awesome powerups and some crazy bosses! I think I prefer the PC Engine version over the arcade original?!
Dude the pc engine hucard games are beyond of his time! A rare console that i know later in magazine like club nintendo or gamepro so in my opinion the most awesome console of all time!
The only time I saw the turbografx was at toysrus back in the day. I played Bonk briefly.
That big as console attachment just seems amazing to me... Like the Gameboy Player for GameCube... or the Switch with the little Joy Cons sliding out.
You're the best collector on UA-cam. I really like how you talk about the games you have and love, rather than your piles of new purchases. The games you already own and love are far more impressive than the lot of new crap you'll stick in a box somewhere. Thanks for being rad, dude!
Great video! I recently picked up a PC-Engine Duo-R and it's great... although it might need some fresh capacitors.
Great video. I share your enthusiasm. Thanks for posting. You can collect all of the games, it just takes a great deal of effort and money. It became something of an obsession of mine. What started off as a relative cheap hobby, ended up costing me a fortune.
I remember when I was 11 going to one of those stores where you can pay by the hour to play video game systems. I saw TurboGrafx 16 and thought it was the coolest thing I have ever seen especially the hu cards! so colorful and beautiful. I recently got the pc engine and cd combo and it's everything I remembered.
+HappyConsoleGamer in the minute 16:23 there's an amazing game, it's a Jacky Chan game :D. It's also available in NES, but it looks awesome in PC-Engine :)
PC Engine is my all time favourite console. It's the system that turned me from a casual gamer to a hardcore gamer back in 1989 and introduced me to the glorious Japanese import scene. I don't think any other system can come close to matching the unique charm and character of the venerable PCE.
The PC Engine/TurboGrafx is one of those systems that I'll probably never collect for. I already import famicom, super famicom, mega drive, and saturn games. I barely have time to play games as is. Sometimes you just got to see the writing on the wall but I can really tell you love it.
Great retro review..I heard of this system at the time but I was a hard core Amiga fan here in the U.K in the late 80s and early 90s
I have been adding to my PC Engine collection lately since I went to Japan last month. I bought a new in box unused SuperGrafx while I was there because it was my holy grail console. It’s an extremely expensive console to collect for.
I'll bet you're wondering why the cover of "Double Dungeons" has a big "W" on it.
In Japan, "W" is often used instead of "double". A burger with an extra patty on it might be called a "W burger" on the menu, but it'd be pronounced "double burger", for example.
I usually play RPGs for that system(on my emulator of course) such as Momotaro Densetsu Turbo/2/Gaiden.What's so special about MomoDen Turbo is that the game itself is a PCE adaptation of the game for the FamiCom(Japanese NES) and it had changed dramatically adding new contents(including new events, dungeons, enemies, even bosses) while other contents have been removed(headgear- and accessory-type equipments, some enemies and some events),some rewards and puzzles switch places and the final boss being made much harder(like 4000 HP).If you're up for a challenge, i recomend the PCE version.
Your PC Engine capture quality looks like it has vastly improved in quality since last I can remember you doing a video about it. Did you get a RGB mod for your PC Engine/PC Duo?
PS. Nice shout out to +lukemorse1, he makes some interesting videos on obscure japanese equipment/arcade machines.
Cool video, I always had a love for 'TG16' as well, I scored my first one when I was about 18, I traded a paintball gun/marker for the Turbo Graphx 16 with Bonk, Galaga '90 & Keith Corurage. Later I scored a Turbo Duo & I still have one with about a dozen games. I liked your Shinobi game, I need to score one now! I have a PC Engine converter for TG16 (they cost about $100 now!?!) I glad you showed much love to Ninja Spirit, awesome & hard game! BTW if you ever get back to Waikiki, I owe you a beer! If we dont meet up, try going to Kona Brewing company & get a variety sampler.
"Hello, do you have the Core Grafx?"
Excellent Alan Rickman impression!
Johnny Dude! I picked up a Pc Engine and CD rom unit becuase of your videos! That was almost a year ago now! Its pretty hard for me to find Hucards and CD games for it In the UK, but I have amassed a pretty good collection of both! I have yet to get any of the RPG's and thats the genre I love most! they are so god damn expensive in this Country! and they are worse on e-bay! But what I have I thoroughly enjoy! thank you man!. I had to do a bit of work on the CD unit, it needed a gear replaced on it and the laser pickup replaced, but google was my friend! and it works like a champ now! Look forward to seeing more about such a cool little system! Cheers mate!
Had my coregrafx for about a month now, having loads of fun with a whole new library of games to explore. Wish this awesome system was brought to the UK in vast quantities when I was a kid back in the day. Only person I knew who had one back then was an American lad I was at school with who lived at the local airbase lol.
TurboGrafx-16 I had it when I was younger. Definitely one of the better retro consoles ever made and has some of the best shmups around too.
The pc engine has one of the most unique gaming libraries that I've ever seen and your absolutely right; its just saddening to know the amount of quality games that north america missed out on. I'm currently in the middle of playing aero blasters and that game is super hard.
i have them all on copy cd's i dont care if its original as long as i can play it
All my old consoles are soft/hard modded or have flash carts... I feel you lol
+Paul Rhodes If I just wanted to play the games, I'd get an emulator on PC and download the ROMs. And to be honest, I do that sometimes. Mostly to check out an expensive retro-game before I buy it, but also because I can't afford a fraction of the games I want. But as for collecting games, I want the original ones only. I don't see the point in collecting unoriginal games. :-)
+Paul Rhodes Collecting has become way too unreasonable these days, prices are just plain stupid for some games and systems.
SNKega
Some people can't play on emulators, like me... Idgaf if its the original game though. Repros, flashcarts, and HDD's ftw.
waste of plastic that way just emulate it if you are not into collecting the real discs.
The number of RPGs on this thing are INSANE!!!!!! Tengai Makyou II: Manjimaru all the way.
Man you're great, so good to see named some of my favorites pc engine classics such as mr. heli and splatterhouse
One thing I have seen missing though are those classic games from the good old Commodore 64. For people who do love classic games, if you can pick one up and check it out or just go out and pick up the phone they released
That was a great video my friend, very informative, I remember buying EGM and reading about the PC ENGINE I remember during the 32 bit era I really wanted a PC fx which if I'm not mistaken was the answer to the SEGA SATURN and N64 in Japan
Hey Johnny I got a question, what are the games at 6:14-6:22, 7:00, 8:13, 9:28, and 9:31?
Bought the pc engine from Japan looking forward for its arrival can't wait to play my racing game I bought for it.
From Japan,
The PC Engine was difficult for children to obtain because both the console and the game software were expensive.
The graphics of the PC Engine were more beautiful than those of the NES, so it was the target of children's dreams.
However, the cheaper Mega Drive (Genesis) and Super Famicom (SNES) were released in the 1990s, and many children bought them.
However, the PC Engine had many deep-rooted fans and remained popular until the middle of the 90s.
I remember how Johnny Turbo had to fight against the evil goons of Feka.....I love the PC Engine/TG16!
I loved Dungeon Explorer,Twin Cobra ,Bloody Wolf,Tales of the Monster Path
(YŌKAI DŌCHŪKI) ,Shinobi and Galaga 88.All were great .
well done video, I heard some y's music in the background if I recall correctly 😃 thx 4 bringing up those fine memories again.
Love the passion you have for the system! I really want to get one, but I've been told i will have issues using it here in the UK. Having it RGB modded seems to be the way to go. Also been told that i would have to use a Sega Megadrive power pack. Any tips would be greatly appreciated to help me get one for my collection!!
The SuperGrafx was not the successor console to the TurboGrafx/PC-Engine; its more like what the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X are. They play the same games, but have enhances abilities on some/most. The successor console was the PC-FX
great vid Johnny. hope you do more on the different genres of games. especially the shmups.
What are the ports on the PC Engine Suit Case for?
My Duo Rx turned out to be chipped to play TurboGrfax when I received it. Was well chuffed.
Cheers :D I just grabbed myself a PC engine on ebay and needed a header for some games so great timing xD
now this is an episode!!! not short and nostalgic, perfect,thanks john
I can't stop watching ur vids man great content!
I have about 12 PC engine games, only one of them is in hue card and 4 are on a turbo duo compilation disc, all the others are from other consoles/portables who had pc engine games released for them
Soldier blade and Lords of Thunder!!! -- epic pulls, John. I've always stuck to the US TG games as I'm actually going for a complete collection -- insane, I know but I'm getting close. But since the CD is region free, after seeing this video, maybe I'll look into picking up some of the imports. Thanks for this video.
I owned the Turbo-Graphx 16 at the time, but I always wanted the imported PC Engine because it was so much cooler looking.
I want to go back in time to 80’s/90s and buy all the systems I couldn’t get as a kid!
looking forward for those reviews, Johnny!
Splatterhouse seems like it was a total shocker title for the PC Engine/Turbo Graphics back in the day. It was released in 1990! Super Mario Bros. 3 had released in the US that same year!
