Thread starter Twillinx Start date Jan 18, I must have totally missed out on all the good games for this console. Well it's those two and then there's Photograph Boy wich really kicked ass, seriously.

That or just plain odd would suit me just fine. But I can't find any of those either. I never owned this console when I was a kid so that makes it a lot harder to know what games your supposed to know about.

And also there is no nostalgic factor so the games really has to be good on their own. Know of any either good games or obscure games for the PcEngine? Then tell me! CrazyGoon Established Member. It was released in late in Japan, and two years later in the U. Despite the success of the console in its home territory, the TG wasn't a breakout hit with western audiences.

That means there are probably a whole heap of games from that era that many of us have never even heard of, let alone played. While much of the system's catalog consisted of cross-platform releases, we'll focus primarily on exclusives for this list.

Check out a few of the best multi-platform releases at the end of the article if you're interested in those too. Many of these titles have been released on modern platforms, notably via Sony's PlayStation Network and Nintendo's Virtual Console services. This is far from ideal, as these systems are all from the last generation.

Fortunately you can still enjoy TurboGrafx games via the use of an emulator. Mednafen is the best of the bunch, and while it's cross-platform there are only binaries available for Windows users. If you're on a Mac you can install OpenEmu which includes Mednafen and many other emulators. Linux users may have to compile from source there's an Ubuntu binary available, though. To play these games you'll need the corresponding ROM file.

Though it's a gray area, downloading ROMs for games that you don't own is illegal, so it's up to you to find ROMs if you wish. At a time when consoles increasingly relied on recognizable characters and franchises, Bonk became the TurboGrafx's platforming poster child. What emerged was an accomplished, well-designed 2D platformer with a caveman theme that's a little more forgiving than Mario. The game was released in Japan as PC Genjin -- a play on the localized name -- as "genjin" translates to "caveman" in Japanese.

While Bonk's Adventure isn't quite as captivating as the Japanese title, the game is absolutely worth hunting down if you're a fan of retro 2D platformers.

If there's one genre that the TurboGrafx did better than any other console at the time, it's shoot-em-ups or shmups for short. There exist a huge number of these titles for NEC's system, in both side-scrolling and top-down flavors. Air Zonk is a playful side-scrolling shmup with a futuristic Bonk -style character and brightly colored environment. Please download files in this item to interact with them on your computer.
