Top 50 PC Engine shooters!

[DynasticHero]

Why is Rtype 2 controversial?

[corinful]

You said at number 58!! lol

[johnnybroughton]

I thought this would be a joke but you actually listed 50 shooters for the platform, impressive.

Your videos drove me to pick up a PC Engine Core Grafx II unit recently, and now I'm on the look out for a Super CD-ROM2 unit. I loved the Turbo Grafx 16 as a kid and you reminded me of that, cheers mate.

[futurematt5]

@johnnybroughton Excellent! Thanks for the feedback!

[SCRATCHMASTERDAL]

Great video matt, and at no.28 its cotton - cotton panties lol, your a funny dude.

[SCRATCHMASTERDAL]

Great video matt, and at no.28 its cotton - cotton panties lol,

[atombat]

Good to see Gunhead right up their, I prefer R-Type 1 but it's still great.

[oldskoolrc]

All top quality Shoot-Em-Ups!! That Trainspotter voice cracked me up, when you said; "maybe the old arcade cd rom as well" LOL!! I think your next PC Engine review should be done entirely in that voice.

There you go, you have a request. ;).

[futurematt5]

@oldskoolrc you got it dude! Thanks. 

[ap3xdotexe]

*Stands up, cries and claps* ENCORE!

You clearly had a bit of fun with it :P and you have made me want a PC Engine even more.....and I cant afford one! The disadvantages of university.

[futurematt5]

@ap3xdotexe damn! Thanks mate, enjoy uni, save the engine till your in your 30s with spare cash and can't take your drink anymore (like me LOL!)

[ap3xdotexe]

@futurematt5 I just remembered that I've got a decent PC Engine emulator. Despite the shady legality of emulation its the only way I can play. *takes notes*

[KollisionBR]

Very nice idea for a video! :)

However, not even one of the Gradiuses or Dariuses? No PC or CD Denjin? Space Invaders - Day of Ressurrection?

And Zero Wing is better on the Mega Drive...

Cheers, I like the video a lot!

[futurematt5]

@KollisionBR thanks very much dude! Yeah I missed a few out, mainly cos I don't own them!!

[joshuavideogames]

@KollisionBR

He listed 50 games and you say that's not enough!?

[KollisionBR]

@joshuavideogames well, it's a very nice list and video, but shunning gradiuses and dariuses is a bit odd for a machine that had them in spades.... don't ya think?

[vintagevideogamegeek]

I really enjoyed all your weird voices in this one.

[futurematt5]

@vintagevideogamegeek you mean you can hear them too? & )

[Faginrs500]

You will be burned at the stake for not having Rtype at No.1 !!!! I will supply the fuel and lighter!! lol Great collection mate. :-)

[futurematt5]

@Faginrs500 Men have died over less. I know. Serious. LOL you'll never get me playing straight with PC Engine, it's a system that cries out for random abuse and weirdness in all senses. Thanks for watching mate!

[cyanidebreathmintz]

Wow flash vid mate!.really well done and 'hardcase' as well X-)

Once again my knowledge of this system's shooters is minimal but this has opened my eyes to the quality and quantity.

Have never seen a pc-engine come up for sale in my country.

[futurematt5]

@cyanidebreathmintz quality and quantity, you can't complain at that LOL! Thanks buddy!

[alexgameroom]

Love it mate, don't own anywhere near enough of them to really comment, but nice to see Spriggan and Winds up there. Just made a slightly controversial move my self with Sapphire. Swapped it for an equally rare and expensive Neo Geo AES title. Shitting myself now.

[futurematt5]

@alexgameroom no way! Getting rid of Sapphire, god I hope it's worth it. If it's already made you incontinent it had better be worth the price.

[ash81b4u]

Interesting. Not played half of em yet. Top video mate.

[futurematt5]

@ash81b4u thank you mate. I don't have em all though!

[BossBossly]

Great video, I'm a bit surprised at some of the ones that made it and some that didn't, but I guess that's why it's a personal top 50, because they're your favorites. That or you're just going off of what's in your collection, unless you've got them all. I'm surprised Hana Taaka Daka!, Gradius II and Kiaidan 00 didn't make the cut.

[futurematt5]

@BossBossly Thanks Boss, you got it, it's just a personal faves top 50, plus I have only charted the games I own. I'm not a Gradius fan so that would never have made it in anyway, had many chances to pick that up but never felt like it. Super long nosed goblin, that's another story !! Would like to check out Kaidan 00 at a good price.

[MintythecatIsABeast]

Tbh Sapphire looks nice and is technically amazing but how in God's name is it a better game than Gunhed and Solider Blade Matt?

[futurematt5]

@MintythecatIsABeast I guess I am bored of Gunhed but I ranked it in the top 10!! Soldier Blade is no3 which is pretty good for a Huey isn't it??! I suppose Sapphire is a cheesy choice for no1.....but that's so cheesey it's funny isn't it?!

[MintythecatIsABeast]

@futurematt5 I suppose it depends on what your criteria for "best" are.

Sapphire is the Recca of the PCE world and is technically amazing.

Gunhed has an amazing weapon system that makes you feel like a real man the way Mars Matrix makes you feel when you pull that trigger and unleash some hell :)

Soldier Blade is just so well balanced that I cannot fault it honestly and would be the last Shmup I would get rid of on the PCE by far for that.

[ukretrogameaddict]

nice video Matt - there's a few new ones i'd not come across before i'll have to keep an eye out for and an interesting screen saver background effect to, most tranquil

[futurematt5]

@ukretrogameaddict thank you most kindly!

[ianwilson1978]

Very nicely made video mate! Recent ski trip? Cool thing about this video (and your channel) is I'll be referring to it when I manage to get a PCE (and Saturn). Good stuff :)

[futurematt5]

@ianwilson1978 Recent trip but a ski would have been as useful as a chocolate toilet seat. Too much bare grass. Mind you I'll go back some day with a couple of poles. Cheers mate!

[gmintyfresh]

Great vid dude and a fantastic pointer in how I should shape my own collection, epic mate

[futurematt5]

@gmintyfresh splendid!!! A personal top 50 I admit, but a top 50 nonetheless. If only I had 50 saturn shooters....!

[gmintyfresh]

@futurematt5 Mate if only there were 50 Saturn shooters full stop!! the PC engine wins on quantity easy. I'd be interested to see the shooters that didn't make it...

[starsoldier1]

What, Deep Blue is number one!?

[VideoBox100]

@starsoldier1  LOL

[futurematt5]

@starsoldier1 Deep Blue FTW!!

[ryanc519]

i know them all! (with a few exceptions)

can't believe you ranked r type 34th and final soldier 24th considering their legendary status that they have built up over the years

[futurematt5]

@ryanc519 ha ha oh well it's just a personal list, I promoted a few duffs and demoted a couple of popular ones, what the hell!! Thanks for watching anyway dude.

[syphic]

F*cking awesome Video!!!!

[futurematt5]

@syphic hell yeah PC Engine shooters rule. thanks dude.

[henrycsc]

Ouch, where's PC Denjin, Coryoon, & Hana Taka Daka?

I agree with a lot of your choices... Lost Sunheart top 20 - nice!

[futurematt5]

@henrycsc ha ha, I knew the forum gurus would descend on my choices!! I know, I know, there are some big games missing, they were in another country when I filmed this, I had to carry a huge bag of games just to get my boxed collection together, so with that taken into account I guess I can take a little slack. Lost Sunheart rules!!! Thanks Henry.

[avenuePad]

Cool! The top 10 had pretty much every shooter I'd list. The only other shooter I'd throw in the top 10 would be Aero Blasters. :) I guess the only real big surprise for me was Ordyne. lol

Always good to see peoples' favourite shooties.

[futurematt5]

@avenuePad cheers dude! Ordyne...yeah not that great really...I should really have included my loose hu Cards (PC Denjin...etc) but shit they were in another country LOL!

[segaretroride]

nice 50

[futurematt5]

@segaretroride thanks dude
