This bootleg is also worth a play if you can find it.

There's a NES2PCE series of unofficial ports that all play great with no slowdown.

Yo that's really cool that someone made a physical copy. I was actually just looking at the NES2PCE set by chance and was about to try em out on the flashcart. This page has a list of PCE homebrew I was just looking at. Most of the links are dead but you can still find them if you look on archive or something.

I found this yesterday while digging around. A Dragon Warrior NES port by the same guy that did all the rest. Apparently it was the first one he did but didn't release it publicly until somewhat recently. The list I posted earlier doesn't even have this on there. Link is in the description. Seems near perfect except for no saving.

the first posts on this thread have some amazing recs, I can personally vouch for Magical Chase, Rondo of Blood and the Valis series. You also have the first three Ys games if you are looking to get into falcom's history.

Also it's called the shmup console for a reason, try Soldier Blade, Gate of Thunder and Lords of Thunder in particular.

I also got into PC-Engine games bc of high score girl and I was surprised the kiddo actually had great taste in videogame consoles haha

Thank you

I love PC Engine games. I recently finished some Japanese RPGs like Tengai Makyou II, Fuun Kabukiden, and Gulliver Boy (which is a masterpiece). And the shmup library is very good too, and I'm still trying to finish Soldier Blade and Blazing Lazers, and the incredible port of Gradius II Gofer no Yabou. Among other games I've completed are Bonk's Adventure, Bonk's Revenge, Bonk 3, Air Zonk, Super Air Zonk, Bomberman '93, Bomberman '94, Kabuki Ittou Ryoudan, Ginga Ojousama Densetsu Yuna and its sequel. Yeah, I still have several other games that I want to finish.

Went to the National Video Game Museum in Texas today. Check out how they had an entire exhibition just for the PC Engine! They even had a PC FX there, on the bottom shelf of the right display case.

Realized today that my Turbo EverDrive Pro firmware was a pretty outdated. They changed the naming scheme which is what threw me off. Fixed a bunch of timing issues with CD games that use redbook audio. Before I updated cutscenes in Rondo of Blood where slightly out of sync and Ys IV was way off.
Anyway, if you’re using one too, make sure your firmware is up to date. Current build as of now is 24.1217.
