Top 50 PC Engine shooters!

It's my unofficial personal top 50 PC Engine shoot em ups. Controversial perhaps. But the PC Engine is controversy itself. I mean, a white console that goes yellow when exposed to light?

I own and play all these games and have ranked them according to: graphics; playability; sound and music; lastability and whether I own them or not (so I missed a few out like super long nosed goblin and Kaiden 00!). And my loose HuCards are not counted (like W Ring and PC Denjin) cos they were in another country at the time.

So while there are some obvious big hits in here, there are some less obvious but worth checking out shooters too.

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.

@johnnybroughton Excellent! Thanks for the feedback!

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. ;).

@oldskoolrc you got it dude! Thanks.

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!

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

Why is Rtype 2 controversial?

[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?
