PCE Arcade Conversions. Coin-ops!

[ShadowDancer]

I know of a few worth playing, but I'll only list the ones I have played.

Please feel free to post worthy Arcade Conversions.

Shadow-Land.
Splatterhouse.
Pac-Land (so much easier than the arcade, but tidy and colourful)
Legend Of Hero Tonma.
R-Type.

I prefer Tiger Road on PC Engine than than the arcade version!

[Soundwave]

I was always quite partial to New Zeland Story back when I had my PC-E

It was a pretty faithful conversion to me & played just as well as the arcades.

OutRun (considerably better than the MD and SMS conversions, imho)
Gradius (arguably the best pre-compliation era conversion)
Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou (basically arcade perfect thanks to PCE Super CD-ROM2 hardware, brilliant music)
Ordyne
Shinobi (great soundtrack and graphics but the missing bonus stage is disappointing)
Detana!! TwinBee (an excellent conversion given the PCE's limitations)
SFII: Champion Edition (Ditto. Needs no introduction, surely? Holds it own alongside the other 16-bit SFII ports)
The Ninjawarriors
Ninja Spirit (an excellent conversion)
Raiden (one-player only, but still a classic shmup)
Parodius

Quite a few there that I haven't played.

How could I forget Tiger-Road! It was at a local shop about the same time Nightmare on Elm street was scaring me! (I was young, honest)

I haven't played it in yonks!

Will definitely be picking some of these up

Salamander
Tatsujin (is supposed to be good but expensive)
Dragon Spirit (not that accurate but i like it)
Galaga 88

There are many more probably, some of the Sega ones are worth a go, Space Harrier, Power Drift and Afteburner.

Anyone know how good operation wolf is with a controller. I guess it will play like NAM-1975?..

One of the early releases (I've forgotten the name) which was basically a retitled Wonder Boy In Monster Land, pretty much identical to the arcade but with altered character graphics n' stuff. Great game.

[ShadowDancer]

And there is Wonderboy III which I had on my Wii. I like that too.

I have the wonderboy history saved on my favourites somewhere..it gets a bit complicated. For me anyway!

I think you're talking about adventure island. I can't remember the full story off hand, but both actually were arcade releases, the original programmers managed to licence the game out to both manufacturers with only subtle differences!

[JazzFunk]

^Yeah, I know Hudson did that with the NES and SNES versions (and some of the PCE ones, iirc) but I just found out the very early PCE Monster Land was called "Bikkuri Man World":

Still looks cool!

I think it is on Wii VC too. IIRC.
