Meh.

It's all about Nonono Puzzle Chailian, which I think I must have doubled UK sales of on this forum alone.

[importaku]

Agreed, harmful park isn't all that. Just another decent(ish) shooter that has the RSG effect where because it's pricy it must be amazing. After all the hype it got i was kind of disappointed when i finally got to play it, for cutesy shooters parodius beats it hands down.

But yup Nonono puzzle is a pretty good game, not that pricy too which is a bonus

I found Harmful Park a total bore.

De La Jet Set Radio! Only available from Sega Direct at the time.



Kururin Squash. Better than the GBA ones.



Yeah.



Screw Breaker/Drill Dozer. Best platformer on the GBA.



Hajime no Ippo. Love the anime, love the game.



Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo



Probably my favourite pre-PSP Ys game.



Keio Yuugekitai Katsugekihen. Best Saturn platformer.



Ghost Sweeper Mikami. Great SFC platformer/slash-em-up.



Soldier Blade. Best shmup for the PC Engine. Great music.



Densetsu no Stafy. The whole series rocks.



Metal Storm. Too awesome.




Mushihimesama Futari. My favourite Cave shmup next to Dangun Feveron.

Can't forget Konami during the Famicom era:


Akumajou Special: Boku Dracula-kun

Sorry for the million pictures. I have around 300 imports over several systems so it's hard to pick my favourites!

An excellent 14th post - welcome to the forum!

I wholeheartedly agree with all of those. Keio in particular is awesome.

I really really wish the Famicom could output RGB.

Don't want to pay for/look at a Titler..

Thanks!

Can't believe I forgot this one



Great graphics and sound for its time. Love the gameplay and it's quite a challenge later on.

Same goes for this one:



Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti.

PS2 Ys III & IV remakes. Absolutely fantastic updates of the originals, despite what some people say. Ys IV is an update of the Super Famicom Mask of the Sun, not the PC Engine game.

Yeah, I just started Ys V remake by Taito, and it's fantastic. But fans tend to hate the Taito remakes.

I'd be keen to hear more of your views on them.

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

Sorry, forgot about your PM. Will reply to it sometime tomorrow.

[Sketcz]

No problem.

I've been playing Ys III and Ys V on PS2, and they're both ace. Not sure why the fan community hates them so much. I guess because they deviate from the expected formula? Not tried Ys IV, but I have high hopes once I've clocked V.

Screw Breaker/Drill Dozer. Best platformer on the GBA.



Keio Yuugekitai Katsugekihen. Best Saturn platformer.

Recently got both of these. Drill Dozer cost $5 via a friend in the US, and Keio set me back ?25 on eBay. Japanese version, but slightly less than it normally goes for (around ?30).
