Now You're Playing With Turbo Power - RndStranger's PC-Engine Power Megathread

Post by Lolo De Puzlo »

This is a thread devoted to YouTube's RndStranger's attempt to catalog the PC Engine's library after doing so for the Famicom, the Cassette Vision, and the Super Cassette Vision.

The PC Engine is a fascinating platform, and Random Stranger does a pretty good job showing it off. Let's watch together and learn something about a fascinating, obscure platform!

The first time I encountered this system was in the 2000s. Someone gifted me a "256 games on 1 disc" CD that had 200~ Mega Drive games, 30~ PCE games and 20~ DOS games.

I think the first one I played was Dragon's Curse, which was also the first way I experienced Wonder Boy 3.

I've really been appreciating this series, explaining the cultural and/or contemporary context of each game.

Looking forward to when RndStranger covers the first PC Engine Bomberman, which was the first PC Engine game that I was able to play to completion. Granted, thinking back on my playthrough, I can also think about what criticisms might be raised about the game.
