Plenty of good games for the pc-engine. It's discouraging all these years later people still spreading ignorance as fact. Like because it had an 8 bit cpu it was inferior to the snes or genesis. Which blatantly false. First of all its cpu was twice as fast as the snes. Almost as fast as the genesis. But because it had a 21 bit data bus and dedicated cpu instructions it's cpu was freed up to do other things making it theoretically faster than the other 2. Also it had dual 16-bit graphic processors. While the snes and genesis only had 1. It could also display more on screen colors than either of them. Displaying over 5 times that of the genesis. Though it didn't have hardware based parallax scrolling. The system was more than powerful enough to do it through software programming. As games like air zonk, spriggan 2, coryoon and many others demonstrate. The truth is it was never really pushed by the Japanese developers. If some of the hot shot European or American programmers we have now got a hold of it then. People's jaws would drop. The reason some of the games look less impressive is because it came out 2.5 years earlier and they just weren't as impressive as making games then. The systems each had their pros and cons. I wish NEC would have released the supergrafx instead of the turbo 16 in America with the 3 button controller. If it had cd games it would have been phenomenal.
This game is like Gradius meets Thunder Force! Awesome!
Fantastic game, but its frustratingly hard in the later levels.
Muy buen vídeojuego, imprescindible de hecho
the final stage music sounds like it would fit a castlevania game.
In many ways similar to thunderforce, overlooked good game.
+MNanme1z4xs I guess the pace of this game is more "R-Typeish" than Thunder Force.
MNanme1z4xs , the sound effects are reallyyy similar if not the same thing

Well said.
I'm just getting into PCE now, having missed out on it completely when I was younger.
Loving it so far
The music is so good!
That music at the beginning is almost the same a the 1st stage in Super Star Soldier.
How did you get the options into a circle, anyway?
Hold I button.
looks awesome!
You're good ! I'd really like to see you kick round 3's ass ! :D
DRAGONFORCE!
Troppo difficile per essere divertente.
Graphics are great and heavily detailed but the soundtrack is a bit weak. Sounds like Castlevaina music
Soldier Blade and Dead Moon were better.
GRADIUS RIP OFF LOLL

コレがグラディウスに見えるとは外人の目もフシアナだなw
GRADIUS WAS RELEASED BEFORE R-TYPE, LOL!
