Don Doko Don was one of many late-80s/early-90s games from Taito that were keeping the single screen arcade format alive. Taito ported the game to the PC Engine and it looked pretty good. Unfortunately, there is a significant problem that holds it back.

How do you make a wrestling game after the PC Engine already has the definitive wrestling game? Hudson squared that circle by making Maniac Pro Wrestling into something completely different from any other wrestling game ever made.

The US cover art for Valis III manages to make bikini armor look even less comfortable than it normally does.
The cover of the US TG16 CD version of Valis III which is a painting of a woman wearing silver metal armor with double pauldrons, a completely exposed midsection and neck area, and some breast cups that look more like drill bits and one points at the viewer, the other points in a 90-degree direction away from that and her torso is angled to be facing somewhere between those two directions.

Barunba on the PC Engine has Namco take a new spin on the shoot-'em-up which is unfortunately undermined by the physical realities of playing with a PC Engine controller.

Might have to go on eBay or something to find an older burner?

Desth Bringer is a distinctive RPG on the PC Engine with game mechanics different from anything else.

It also has one of the worst reputations of any game on the platform.

Super Daisenryaku was designed around bringing the enormously wargame to something that worked better for console players. It took advantage of the CD-ROM on the PC Engine to provide more modern military hardware and conflicts than you could shake an RPG at...

Formation Soccer on the PC Engine launched a beloved franchise. Human Entertainment took a sport that console games had been struggling to represent well, and took it to a new level.

Tonight on #Bat-Octoberfest, I look at the PC Engine's Batman game.

I'm curious how Sunsoft went from potentially another action-platformer to maze-action, but it's not a big deal.
This is a good game, just lacking that extra spicy sauce.

This game has not one, but two translations in the works! There was a third at one point as well until they learned about the other two. At least one of the translations is planning on making adjustments to the seizure-rific stuff thankfully.

Necros no Yousai is a PC Engine RPG based on collectable figurines from a candy company because the PC Engine loved games based on collectable stuff from candy companies. It features a combat system near guaranteed to cause your eyes to hurt.

Osamu Tezuka's last project was Aoi Blink and the game version on the PC Engine has a lot of clever ideas. Unfortunately, it also has it's share of not so good ideas.

The PC Engine's true colour palette isn't linear RGB; the palette goes through a transformation when it gets modulated. And while its composite output is good, S-Video is better. Here's a video that shows off @zaxour 's TurboNanza modification:

Power Drift on the PC Engine is a real case of "You were so focused on what you could, you never thought about if you should!" An amazing technical accomplishment of a fairly accurate port of a Sega super scaler game spent on one of the least interesting super scaler game.

I would like to say that this game will help people to want to explore the PC Engine library. But I don't think it's actually going to achieve that. I don't hate the game, but it's definitely not a great game. I don't know, maybe whatever improvements that are being implemented will help?
