I saw a bunch of CD Roms for sale the other day but sadly they were all taped together meaning I couldn't see them individually and the owner was being a dick and wouldn't let me look at each one of them. Which is dumb since in Hong Kong people speak/read Cantonese, not Japanese (I know some characters are shared between Chinese and Japanese, but not all).

Anyhoo, I was wondering if anyone out there can help me to ID some of these games. I've crudely numbered them on Paint so if anyone is bored, please help me!

Thanks!

These are all the dirt-common games swiped wholesale from the 100-yen bin at Hard-Off...

So don't be paying too much.

They're almost all great games. Unless you were just looking to flip them for profit.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

They're about $12 US each, but they mostly seem to be JRPGs which I assume have language barriers?

most pc engine gamers ( same with some of the Super famicom and Megadrive people in Hong Kong  can read basic Japanese, considering this type of category are usually hardcore gamers.

In fact there is a preference of Japanese games, even if the us localized version are available

I once owned both Princess Minerva and Monster Maker, can't really remember enough to recommend either though.  Ys III and Exile are still in my collection (US versions) but both are great games and worth owning, and so is Dungeon Master (one I still wish I had.)  Music is great in all 3 games.  I haven't yet played through Brandish, but that's a Falcom game and an action RPG, I would probably go for that one myself.
