3 arcade games you'd love to see on the Turbo/PCE?

[CrackTiger]

I'd also like to add Golden Axe.  A proper port of the game would be most excellent.

There was a project some time ago, but it's been ages since anything has been mentioned...

That's the one I'm keeping my fingers crossed for.  It looks great from what little I've seen of it.

Final Fight isn't even that good in the arcade. Big sprites, whoopie.

It is a game that doesn't hold up that well.  When it came out it was incredible, but something is missing when you go back to it.

[seieienbu]

My first choice would be Gradius 3.  With 1 and 2 already on the platform, it would make sense (definitely more sense than the slow-as-mollasses port on the SNES).

After that, I always liked Magic Sword and the SNES port leaves out a lot of assets and charm of the arcade.  With the added space of a Super CD the game could be much less neutered.

Beyond that, the internet rumored Turbo exclusive Mortal Kombat would have been pretty neat.  Mostly I'm just curious how well the game would have worked assuming it had 6 button support (and possibly Arcade Card support...)

[Keith Courage]

I'd like to see Badlands.



And I second Magician Lord ACD. Favorite Neogeo game

[NecroPhile]

3. Roadblasters

Yarr, I'd definitely like that.  I wouldn't say no to Hydra either.

ASO: Armored Scrum Object
ASO II: Last Guardian

And ...

[SignOfZeta]

Oh hell yes, that too.

I first played it when it came out so that wasn't it. The issue is that I had already played or played at about the same time, in the same arcade, Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden, Renegade, P.O.W., Street Smart, etc and Final Fight doesn't do anything those games didn't do and often it does less. It just has big sprites. It's a high end Crest of Wolf.

Hagar is mayor. I have to admit that's pretty cool.

You want it on pce because of it's theme right !?

[WoodyXP]

You want it on pce because of it's theme right !?

One of the many reasons.  An arranged soundtrack option would be sick.

[technozombie]

The Konami Simpsons game would be cool and unlike TMNT there was no other ports. I loved playing it as a kid, although in hindsight it's mostly mediocre.

What I would really like to see, and probably doesn't count for this thread, is the NES version of Rygar upgraded with the arcade version's graphics

Mediocre maybe but still a whole lot of fun. The amount of 20p coins I stuck in a Simpsons machine at a holiday camp is unfathomable. Spent hours on that thing, it plays well. Prefer TMNT overall though.

[Otaking]

I honestly think if Konami had made a PC Engine TMNT and Contra game and then released them along with Dracula X in the US for the Turbo Duo (Super CD), I feel history would of fared a lot better for the console outside Japan.

so true! that would have been an all star line up!

I grew up in a small town without any arcades so when I did get a chance to go to the neighboring town to play, I absolutely loved the game. Of course as a child I didn't have enough quarters to find out how repetitive the game is, particularly in the reusue of sprites, but then again Xmen is the same way.

Rightfully so with that red book audio if it came out on cd of course  I forgot it was line of toys as well.

I was thinking of ports that I would have wanted at the time. This was a time where me and my friends were practicing Final Fight moves in the swimming pool, and the thought of two guys going through the streets and taking out a horde of guys with their fists was a realistic idea 

[kosko99]

I'd love Snow Bros, Tumblepop and I liked a snow bros look-a-like called Cactus I think....
So great games

Double Dragon had better music and better level design.

I am torn over which of the two games had better character design...  both were done very well in this department.

I was a sucker for the bonus stages in Final Fight.

[martinine]

I do really love the arranged Final Fight music on Sega CD, and I'm pleased with how it looks on that system. I don't think the Turbo would have added much more to FF than the SNES. My vote is definitely for a serious "Arcade Perfect" 4 player TMNT. The 9 year old me is just going crazy thinking about it.

Would the USA really have rallied around the Duo if Konami made these ports? I don't know. I feel like the damage that had been dealt early in the 16-Bit war would prove too costly. The multi-platform games that support a console after you purchase it for a system seller like Rondo, Contra, or TMNT don't exist on Turbo. It's how today's Wii-U has to deal. None of the bros buy it for a game like Smash and stick around BC Madden and COD are there too. It becomes niche, and I think Turbo would have unfortunately stayed that way, even though I wanted so badly for people to love it when I was a kid.

[neopolss]

So many good choices.  I agree having konami games on tg16 around that time would have been huge!  Tmnt arcade was super hot, and the nes port so lacking.

[Gredler]

I remember loving the Punisher in arcades at the time, and has been mentioned a good version of Mortal Kombat II would've been cool. The only other I can think of is a hombrew effort - Bubble Bobble!

[Psycho Punch]

I want these three games
Osman
Cannon Dancer
Strider but with Middle East themes

Speedy continuous action-guaranteed player satisfaction.

[seieienbu]

I thought I posted a list of three a few months ago but I couldn't recall what I posted so I looked and found out that I didn't.  Hurray!  I get to ponder what arcade games I'd want on Turbo again!

More than any other game, I wish we had received a US release of Street Fighter 2.  This was easily my favorite game for years back when it was released.  This was the second release of the game for home releases after SF2 World Warrior on the SNES so things were still super hot for the franchise.

Aside from that, an authentic port of Bionic Commando sounds pretty good to me.  I feel like it would make a good HuCard title.  It's on the shorter side of things (about as long as Legend of Hero Tonma) but I remember having a lot of fun playing it when I was a kid.  I was disappointed with how different the NES version was when I rented it as a kid; that being said I do quite like the NES version and have since that initial bit of disappointment paid off.

Finally, I'd definitely like another brawler on the platform.  I guess I'd prefer something like the Simpsons or Xmen that didn't have a home port.  Having turbo tap support for 4 players on the Simpsons with an Arcade CD sounds like it might be feasible and definitely would've been fun to play.

[LostFlunky]

Donkey Kong - arcade perfect port... since there isn't one on a console...

Bust-A-Move

Virtua Fighter 2 (J/K)

[retro junkie]

I would settle for the original Defender on Hucard.

[Dicer]

Bet all the classic willams games could squeeze onto one..

[Gentlegamer]

MERCS, Captain America and the Avengers, Willow

All Capcpom

[neopolss]

How about knights of the round, cadillacs and dinosaurs, or magic sword?  Lots of CPSI goodness!

[grolt]

I always thought the Aero Fighters franchise would have translated well to the TG-16. I realize there's a SNES port of the first and Neo Geo ports of most of the latter entries, but those are all crazy expensive. I love the first game and even the SNES never really did it justice.

[TheClash603]

Can we wish for something not achievable, like a system linked The Grid?

[poponon]

definitely agree with black tiger - awesome game we never got a home port of.

karnov would be awesome too -  a proper port rather than the nes remake

willow or nemo on cps1 would be good picks too - never got home ports. donno how feasible these would be though.

someone mentioned rolling thunder 1 - that would make a great 2 player pce game. loved rolling thunder 2 on genny

Good call, Sonic Wings would work well on PCE.

[otterboxer]

having a mis day but this reminded me of some great times spent in arcades as a kid.

Bubble bobble (of course)
Sunset Riders
and either Bad dudes v dragon ninja or Robocop.

[poponon]

everyone saying arcade games that already have (good) home ports - come onnnnnnnnnnnnn

[NecroPhile]

Pretty much everything is playable at home via mame, but I give no fucks if it ain't Turbob.

[blueraven]

Karnov (Arcade Version)
Ghostbusters (Arcade Version)
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (Arcade Version).

Discuss.

[eproxy]

Cloak & Dagger
Devil World aka Dark Adventure or Majū no Ōkoku
Timber

[esteban]

That's why I said:

Mega Zone (were there any ports, ever?)
Time Soldiers (not sure how to handle dual rotating joysticks, but folks have suggested an option for two pads used simulate roust)

And....cr@p, what was my third?

I'll remember it in a bit...

[blueraven]

Ikari Warriors?

I would like a "higher speed" version of Ikari Warriors (or the sequel) for PCE, the real answer was Karnov.

I knew it!! Karnov was such a great arcade port 

I was always so disappointed with the NES version :\

[spenoza]

Willow (so glad to see others loved this as well)
TMNT
Bad Dudes or Rastan

[neopolss]

Bad Dudes would look really good with the Grafx's ability to handle larger sprites.  Let's get a team together and start porting this stuff!
