Love the video bithead. My life is measured in days without new Bithead videos. I am always interested in your Pc Engine games. I cant wait for my gameplay videos.
A fresh faced Bithead1000 dropping some serious shooter knowledge bombs. I’ve lost count of the games he’s recommended and I’ve brought only to fall in love with them. Thank you 👏🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸
Your continued love for PC-Engine is making me want to buy one! I will buy one soon.. propably when I go to Japan in november! Will buy a TurboEverdrive for it.
We need a top ten PC engine shooter video! My list personally consists of: 1. Soldier Blade, 2. Gate of Thunder, 3. Air Zonk, 4. Blazing Lazers/Gunhed, 5. R-Type, 6. Star Parodier, 7. Spriggan, 8. Lords of Thunder, 9. Sapphire, 10. Magical Chase
Good vid. I am not a huge turbo guy so you've kinda lost me sadly. But I'll always be rooting for ya, and checking in on your Garage Sale videos, if there are anymore. Also, I love you're childhood stories, and monologue at the beginning of your Garage sale videos. Always entertaining.
Love me some pc engine/turbo grafx. Only had little tastes of it as a kid, but it always fascinated me. Games held such an aura of mystery and awe. Years later I would get the system and gather a few games. Love it. So many treasures. Keep it up, man.
Love these episodes! Great to see you buying what you really want from flipping these garage sale finds. It's good how you go quite in depth on the gameplay for each game too.
I never liked shooters till you started to do playthroughs of them, now they are all I play! I'm trying to start collecting PC Engine shooters too since I have a Duo-R I never play and these videos are actually pretty helpful to know what games to avoid and what to expect to pay. Oh I also discovered Out For Justice because of one of your old intros, that movie was fucking amazing! I've been watching you since day one and you are still the best.
Keep up the PC Engine/TG16 love Bithead! Not many people talk about it in general. Especially not a show of your caliber! Currently playing Ys Book 1&2 on my PC Engine Briefcase setup. Keep doing what you enjoy and thank you.
How did I miss this notification?...oh well...swell hearing your input on the games well except for Cotton - got mine recently too but haven't played it cause my cds broke but when I find my other unit I will but only now with a little trepidation !...I've got like 50+ turbografx and 70+ pc engine games and a # of systems so I share the love....As for non shooters not sure if you have Parasol Stars and Beeball (I have the Chew Man Fu) but those are two I like a lot along with Military Madness of course...keep'em coming and please give us an update on the kid maybe show him trying to take out an alien invader or something :D
Damn, PC Engine is one of my all time favorite consoles. I can never get enough Bonk, soldier blade, salamander and liquid kids. Even the sega ports kick ass. Keep up the good work bithead, your perspective is refreshing
Awesome videos bruh! I love my Pc Engine! Unfortunately, my sound board crapped out so I had to buy another one. One of the best, if not the best systems for shumps. Sapphire and Rayxanber 3 probably have the best graphics. My favorite shmup on it though is Gates of Thunder. Cool name, rockin soundtrack, sound effects, graphics and the game moves great which for a shmup is I think most important in making it playable.....
I agree. Sapphire was ahead of it's time for a system that old. It had lasers like that of Layer Section on the Sega Saturn, some polygonal graphics and nice metallic rendering in some areas. Great shmup.
Have you ever almost pulled the trigger on Toilet Kids? That will probably be one of the last shooters on your list of must own...but you gotta catch em' all!
With all these shooters you are introducing i'm having trouble keeping up with it all. My personal fave so far is soldier blade. It makes me wonder what other classics i've missed over the years.
One of the nice things about the PC Engine, is that it has quite a few shooters that are quite different on the system. Fantasy Zone is excellent on the system, the only version that is better is the Saturn version, but not by a huge margin. Love the Darius series, the weapon power-up system and the stage procession work really well. The Vita (and the PS4) have the latest incarnation with Darius Burst.
Fantasy Zone was one of the first PCE games I ever got, excellent shooter. I want the soundtrack for my car when I'm cruising around. I've been getting more PCE shooters lately as well, I just feel better when they come in the mail. Also, you should visit the forums, pcenginefx.com. We post your videos often and we like your take on stuff, lots of great information in its depths.
Thanks for your vids, i'm a PCE shmup lover too :) Red Book doesn't mean highest quality cd sound, as someone posted below. Its a standart for CD ROM media, theyre called rainbow books. there are yellow, red , blue, green etc etc. Read it up here : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Books
Aha! finally somebody who shares my feelings about Pokemon GO! The old guard... Okay, i will try to help you Bithead1000. I strumbled about your channel by a recommendation from one of Ander's videos, a guy doing mostly pen&paper RPG stuff, his handle is woodwwad. He said he was not very much into video games but enjoyed your channel. Well, i am into video games and that made me curious. And i see why. Your approach is very different from classical retro channels. Its better, it really is. I'd label it console retro garage sale subculture if i had to pick a label. A strong point you really got going here: you talk a lot about games. The context, you know, how it was back then. If somebody would write a well researched review about the evolution of games encompassing that time, there is no better channel for it. None, period. Plus you like shooters. The real shooters, vertical/horizontal hardcore 8-bit shmups. You play R-Type with passion (level 3), that is all i have to know. I come from a slightly different subcultre in Germany. Back then it was C64, Amiga 500 and that stuff. Yes there were old Atari's, Nitendos and Sega Genesis around. Mario, Bomberman and Thunderforce III, Phantasy Star IV, but most gaming revolved around home computer systems, Commodore cornered that country at the time. This was a time where video games weren't a multi million dollar business and people concentrated for the most part on creating the best games they could imagine without development shedules. This changes with the era, you noticed it, too, when you talk about the Metroid series, for example. *long stare* Along the way something changed. I realize your heartblood is in this garage sale thing. That is fine and useful as it builds an understandig of the subculture. But if you have a really bad season and i know home computers are simply not your thing, when it comes down to it, but how about covering some arcade stuff (like Konami's Aliens for example)? Just to fill the gaps, you know. I know you have to fill that cabinet of yours but this is an option. The arcades back then... why did we ever stop doing that, i ask you? Hardware is expensive due the collection value but there are always emulators around, you know. And i know this is technically not your area of focus but try the C64 version of Denaris/Katakis (not the A500 one, thats a very, very different game). Or maybe a SEGA Turrican? Keep up the good work, man. It is really appreciated. This is historical work you do here, man. Like being a curator in an vidoe game museum. It really is.
If I were to sink my teeth into computers, the C64 and the Amiga would be my first choice! I'Ve always had a strong curiosity for Amiga because I have never even seen one, let alone play one. For a long period of time I would watch one Amiga long play after another. Great to have a friend in Germany. One day I will have to review my German WW2 K98 Mauser bolt action rifle.
Who cares what people think this obviously is bittheads golden goose, I don't know shiz about these games but he loves getting these so i appreciate that. I do request what the count of shooters is for pc engine, like how many do you have left? You moving on to Saturn after this?
Bithead you really should play the pokemon games. They are classic gameboy rpgs and honestly the biggest reason to even have a gameboy besides maybe tetris . Maybe it's hard to appreciate if you weren't a kid in the late 90s/early 2000s, but they're great games.
If you were ever to delve into the next gen systems, I reckon you'd really dig the souls series they're a lot like a modern version of CADASH with a touch of 3d zelda........ but for men!!!!
This is a great format you had. Starting with a signature bh1k rant but then quickly went into the games. And I don't think that's why your friend doesn't like your show anymore btw.
Don't worry about the haters dude. I made the decision to only focus on shooters a few years ago on my channel. You lose a few viewers but at the end of the day i would rather talk about something i am passionate about than just random stuff. There can never be enough pce shooter love on UA-cam. Keep leading the charge my good man 👍
maybe a small screen with some gameplay while you are describing said games would make vids a bit more interesting.....not hating....just a suggestion.
I wish things were different here in Australia and I wish the PC Engine was marketed more here. I was a big shmup fan back when I was a teen in the mid eighties. I only heard of the PC Engine when I bought a copy of CVG back in 92 or 93. There was a games shop called Video Games Heaven in the mid 90's that had a PC Engine for sale but the games couldn't be bought. Shame the games now days are so expensive. I'm sorry but, even though I like SEGA, there shitty marketing for the Master System and Mega Drive was a let down. I wish I never got into SEGA consoles. I don't really like them.
Eh. You are taking me to school so... I am willing to listen if you have the time. So, I won't get into it. Who knows, I might bump into them and give them a better home or hear you say a game you want and by stupidness I find it and give it to you.
28:00 Man, we all have this dream. Only game I can get my wife to play (and like) is League Bowling on the Neo Geo. I got really excited thinking, "great this will be a launch pad for other games that are simple that I can get her to play". Naah, that's it lol.
Your continued love for PC-Engine is making me want to buy one! I will buy one soon.. propably when I go to Japan in november! Will buy a TurboEverdrive for it.
Love the video bithead. My life is measured in days without new Bithead videos. I am always interested in your Pc Engine games. I cant wait for my gameplay videos.
You should still do PC Engine videos. PC Engine is king!
Great videos, dude! You got great taste and a great sense of humor to not bore viewers! Keep up the excellent work!
LONG LIVE PC-ENGINE!!!
A fresh faced Bithead1000 dropping some serious shooter knowledge bombs. I’ve lost count of the games he’s recommended and I’ve brought only to fall in love with them. Thank you 👏🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸
I'd love to see a play through or 2, or 3, 4, 5, 6... Just play the damn games!!!
It's always fun to watch you play.
Your continued love for PC-Engine is making me want to buy one! I will buy one soon.. propably when I go to Japan in november! Will buy a TurboEverdrive for it.
Classy collection, even better you are actually playing them.

This man should have 3million subs, *ez*.

Yeah we need MORE garage sale videos , more monologues, and more intro cartoons. :-)
Love me some pc engine/turbo grafx. Only had little tastes of it as a kid, but it always fascinated me. Games held such an aura of mystery and awe. Years later I would get the system and gather a few games. Love it. So many treasures. Keep it up, man.
ROFL! I play PC Engine STAY! LOL Dude, fucking rolling over here...
Love these episodes! Great to see you buying what you really want from flipping these garage sale finds. It's good how you go quite in depth on the gameplay for each game too.
Man every time I watch your show I'm getting the feeling to collect these awesome PC game.
Really enjoy these videos. You obviously have a lot of passion for the PC engine and turbografx.
I never liked shooters till you started to do playthroughs of them, now they are all I play!

Great stuff. This comment made my day.
BitHead1000 awesome! Keep the videos coming!

"I'd rather battle cancer" hahahahah I shouldn't laugh, but awesome line!
Keep up the PC Engine/TG16 love Bithead! Not many people talk about it in general. Especially not a show of your caliber! Currently playing Ys Book 1&2 on my PC Engine Briefcase setup. Keep doing what you enjoy and thank you.
I'm huge into PC Engine shooters also. I'm surprised you haven't gotten over ride yet, it's fantastic. I'm ready for more PCE Chronicles
+Bullet Hell Nightmare , it's a tad bit pricey but a really good vertical shooter in my opinion
It's on the way brother!!!
+BitHead1000 , hell yeah dude. Keep up the PCE vids. I love it
Love me some Parodius....I played on the Saturn however as no Turbo Grafx in UK
How did I miss this notification?...oh well...swell hearing your input on the games well except for Cotton - got mine recently too but haven't played it cause my cds broke but when I find my other unit I will but only now with a little trepidation !...I've got like 50+ turbografx and 70+ pc engine games and a # of systems so I share the love....As for non shooters not sure if you have Parasol Stars and Beeball (I have the Chew Man Fu) but those are two I like a lot along with Military Madness of course...keep'em coming and please give us an update on the kid maybe show him trying to take out an alien invader or something :D
I want a Blast Furnace game room.
Damn, PC Engine is one of my all time favorite consoles. I can never get enough Bonk, soldier blade, salamander and liquid kids. Even the sega ports kick ass. Keep up the good work bithead, your perspective is refreshing
Awesome videos bruh! I love my Pc Engine! Unfortunately, my sound board crapped out so I had to buy another one. One of the best, if not the best systems for shumps. Sapphire and Rayxanber 3 probably have the best graphics. My favorite shmup on it though is Gates of Thunder. Cool name, rockin soundtrack, sound effects, graphics and the game moves great which for a shmup is I think most important in making it playable.....
It's a shame that more people don't get to play Sapphire.
I agree. Sapphire was ahead of it's time for a system that old. It had lasers like that of Layer Section on the Sega Saturn, some polygonal graphics and nice metallic rendering in some areas. Great shmup.
woke up to the greatest video game show on earth makes for a great morning
Have you ever almost pulled the trigger on Toilet Kids? That will probably be one of the last shooters on your list of must own...but you gotta catch em' all!
It’s on the list. Should have gotten it earlier.....getting real expensive!
I pulled the handle on Toilet Kids. Really pissed me off, too; It’s a real piece of shit!
With all these shooters you are introducing i'm having trouble keeping up with it all. My personal fave so far is soldier blade. It makes me wonder what other classics i've missed over the years.
Really cool to see you finally getting your hands on the pc engine games after all the effort bithead
I spit out my beer all over my computer screen when I heard "I'd rather battle cancer"
This video is making its rounds in the PC engine Facebook pages as well.
One of the nice things about the PC Engine, is that it has quite a few shooters that are quite different on the system.
Fantasy Zone is excellent on the system, the only version that is better is the Saturn version, but not by a huge margin.
Love the Darius series, the weapon power-up system and the stage procession work really well.
The Vita (and the PS4) have the latest incarnation with Darius Burst.

You need to get Metal Stoker BH, great title.
Bithead1000 video before bed? Thanks!
Welcome to the Pc Engine encyclopedia
Fantasy Zone "is like Defender on LSD."
Oh and Redbook music is something that the magazine releases. Girls dig it, we would hate it. XD
Should be asleep but bithead1000 video just popped up on homepage. Sleep can wait
God Bless Jessie
Wow 4yrs ago you look 21yrs old 😆😆
I have a young face too, you got 4 yrs on me
Love it
Red book audio means the highest quality on CD
Thank you.
if you never had a turbo back in the day,you missed out on a special era of gaming. but if ya never had you'll never miss I suppose
Would you consider adding any sega Saturn games to your collection? I know that was another system you grew up with and enjoyed.
Check out the Biblical Pc engine Avalanche video... Many hard hitting Saturn games in there.
Thanks for your vids, i'm a PCE shmup lover too :) Red Book doesn't mean highest quality cd sound, as someone posted below. Its a standart for CD ROM media, theyre called rainbow books. there are yellow, red , blue, green etc etc. Read it up here : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Books

FANTASY ZONE on FAMICOM is good.
The pc engine has other games that aren't shoot em ups you know?
Don't worry about the haters dude. I made the decision to only focus on shooters a few years ago on my channel. You lose a few viewers but at the end of the day i would rather talk about something i am passionate about than just random stuff.
There can never be enough pce shooter love on UA-cam. Keep leading the charge my good man 👍
gotta agree with Steve I'm afraid Bithead.....still as funny as fuck though....peace.
maybe a small screen with some gameplay while you are describing said games would make vids a bit more interesting.....not hating....just a suggestion.
i could sell 100 n64 games in the uk and hardly break £30 lol
Bithead1000 video...
My wife and date night is just gonna have to wait.
so many shootahs...... pc engine/tg16 should be called shooterconsole16....
Bithead, have you played Mad Stalker? Get an Arcade Card and burn a CD-R if you have to.
