Identifying people with PCE games

[runinruder]

It seems that the name of every regular board member has become synonymous (in my crazy mind, at least) with a particular PCE game.  Usually, it's because the poster is the game's ultimate fan, championing it like no other.  Other times, there's a goofier reason at work.   
 
GUTS - BLOOD GEAR
GUTS has become known the world over as "THE FATHER OF BLOOD GEAR."  He discovered it and hyped it up when no one else had even heard of it.  Plus, he looks like the main character.
 
RAG-TIME - IMAGE FIGHT
For almost two decades, Image Fight has been known as "just another" PCE shooter.  Then R-T shows up, and all of a sudden a whole bunch of people are playing and enjoying it.
 
NAT - SPACE HARRIER
It's his favorite game of all time, and he's completely mastered it.  Hasn't suffered a death in about seventeen years, even with the difficulty cranked. 
 
EMERALD ROCKER - EMERALD DRAGON
His user name and avatar pretty much say it all.  Also, this is the only PCE game he's completed, aside from some "imae" teen idol nonsense.

ESTEBAN - BLODIA
Steve sticks up for a lot of bad games, but his love for this one is noteworthy for two reasons: 1) He's more passionate about it than he is about the other clunkers combined, and 2) Not a single other person in the world agrees with him on it.
 
JOE RUDDIFER - RAYXANBER II
Because he always goes around saying "RAISIN BAR!  RAISIN BAR!" whenever the game is mentioned.  And I think he's the one who posted the link allowing everyone to hear the goofy voices at the beginning.
 
KERANU - JJ & JEFF
Obviously.  Not only has he been the game's most devoted fan, but he's even managed to convince a few other folks to join him in his mad crusade to bring it more attention and respect.
 
TOM/BONKNUTS/MALDUCCI/TURBOXRAY - MACROSS 2036
A fellow 2036 fan who famously spent a huge chunk of change to acquire it back in the day.  I think the purchase just shows he was way ahead of the rest of us: if I'd had known how good the game was, and if I'd had the cash, I'd have gladly spent a ton on it too. 
 
TATSUJIN - BAZARU DE GOZARU
He's always posting pictures of himself posing with his copy, and everyone says he looks like the monkey. 
 
PARANOIA DRAGON - STEAM HEARTS
Just because the poor guy keeps trying to get rid of it and, to my knowledge, hasn't had any takers yet.
 
CETI ALPHA - NINJA SPIRIT
What can I say?  The penny-rolling story is classic!
 
M1SAVAGE - ANEARTH FANTASY STORIES
He'd probably rather be known for his mahjong-game prowess, but the fact remains that his Anearth walkthrough kicks all sorts of ass.  Check it out. 
 
CCOVELL - METAMOR JUPITER
Chris is the one who posted the MJ review, right?  It's hard to associate him with anything else because most of his posts are in those "guess the screenshot" threads.
 
D-LITE - EVERY GAME EVER
When I think of D-Lite, I think of ENORMOUS FS lists boasting hundreds of games.  He's like the Santa Claus of PC Engine games, so I certainly can't connect him with just one. 
 
RUNINRUDER - ANYTHING BAD
Legion, Energy, Night Creatures, you name it!  Whatever the rest of the community despises is treated like classic material by this clown.

[nectarsis]

You can identify me with all the PC Engine rpg's...lol....I can't understand the stories, but what can I say..I am an rpg addict 

[Turbo D]

Hey you forgot me  and my love for AirZonk   

[Tatsujin]

 

[Sinistron]

I'm not exactly a regular poster yet. >sigh<.    Hell there's always next year.  Not that "Sinistron" is my favorite game.  My last name is Sinisi however.

[NecroPhile]

Nice list, runinruder. 

[nat]

Ha, yeah, that bit about Necromancer is so true.

Good stuff there.

[D-Lite]

I'd say that's good enough reason.

[Odonadon]

Ouch, I see I'm left off the list   I'm one of the old timers here, but I will bet that you can't figure me out

OD

OD

You're definitely an old-timer, but you're so scarce these days you may as well be a newb.

[rag-time4]

I associate SNKNostalgia with Street Fighter II CE since he knew what buffering moves was 

[PCEngineHell]

If you have to relate me to a Pc Engine/Turbo title,it would have to be Splatterhouse. Its my fav title,gets the most play time hands down.

[Kitsunexus]

Yep, if only NEC had brought over more mediocre games about waitress fighting tournaments!

Dude, that's TRUTH! We need more waitress fighting.

[spenoza]

I think the answer is Volfiev... Wait, wrong thread. Who is associated with Volfiev, huh?

[MissaFX]

You guys don't know it yet, but I am a huge, a HUGE Galaga '88 fan.

[rag-time4]

have you seen the high score thread?

I haven't yet because it won't be until after Christmas that I will own a PC-E.  I'm one of the few/only people that own a FX but no other NEC console.  I'm almost up to having 1/3rd of the FX library though and now have most of the games I will ever want for it.  The arcade version of Galaga '88 is what I am used to and I assume it is similar to the PC-E version.  Galaga '88 is also the only game I own for the PC-E right now, I bought it because I had to own it since I don't have an arcade machine in my apt.

[NecroPhile]

Pffft!  Galaga '88 sucks hard - try '90, it's a whole two better. 

[Turbo D]

I like to merge the 3 ships. Thats what makes the game so bad-ass!

Something about calling it Galaga '90 just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.  The game feels so '80's to me, just a little more colorful.  It's also bizarre they called it Galaga '90 on a console when it was called Galaga '88 in the arcade

It was all about marketing... the '90 verson was updated and Turbo-powered for the new decade!!

[nat]

Yeah, who would want to buy a two-year-old outdated piece of garbage in 1990? It was the only way to sell copies of the game since in 1990 no one in their right mind would buy something with the year "1988" attached to it. Sheesh.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Great, I'm known for Steam Hearts   And for the record it's still for sale.  Occassionaly I think about keeping it, just cuz it's a shmup, but, it's just not my cup of tea, & I don't like hentai, so, add that together, & walla walla Washington.  Hmm, as I was going thru the list, I didn't even think I'd make it, cuz, I really don't know what I would be associated with.  I know I'm probably the biggest Impossamole fan here(not that I think it's perfect) as it's quite underated IMO   But yeah, Turbo D & Zonk go together like uh, baseball & apple pie!

[Sinistron]

It is truly amazing how much damage a sub-par game did to Turbo-grafx sales.

[NecroPhile]

It is truly amazing how much damage a sub-par game did to Turbo-grafx sales.

Uh, which game are you talking about?

[guyjin]

my icon was bomberman for years, so I would hope people associate me with that. 'cuz bomberman is awesome.

and Od, as far as I'm concerned, you're a newb.  I think there's only one other person who still posts here that's been here longer than me. (other than pcenginefx himself, of course.)

What about Walla Walla?

Good ol' m1, eh?  But who's oceanfr, and how did he travel back in time to register in '69?

[Turbo D]

my icon was bomberman for years, so I would hope people associate me with that. 'cuz bomberman is awesome.

I associate you with blue balls now   

[CrackTiger]

Most of the choices on that list are the same I'd pick. The one major difference being that I always think of Chris Covell and Tongue Man's Logic.

[Turbo D]

Me too, lol

[Tatsujin]

1. they just pulling your leg.
2. it was called Galaga '90 because it was released 1990 on the american market, and since we know, the americans always have to make something worse with so-called corrections, they didn't refrain from that one as well.

[Joe Redifer]

I am against putting years in the titles of ANY games.

[nectarsis]

HOW WILL WE KNOW WHAT VERSION OF MADDEN TO BUY???? OH THE INSANITY...

[Turbo D]

I am against putting years in the titles of ANY games.

Same here! They should have called it Turbo Galaga 

[ccovell]

I'm not associated with any one game??!?!  Cough!  Sputter!  Tongue!

[Keranu]

I gladly accept my position that list .

However, Runin, your game is Deep Blue! I'm shocked you didn't even mention it next to your name! There is no expcetion to this! 

[Turbo D]

I'll always picture you as that tough wrestler thats in you avatar 

[Keranu]

Well that is true, I did star in Battle Royal.

[runinruder]

However, Runin, your game is Deep Blue! I'm shocked you didn't even mention it next to your name! There is no expcetion to this! 

Heh, that's a good choice for me.  But now that Nat has become my tag-team partner in defense of it, I can't take credit as being the only genius who recognizes its greatness.   

[esteban]

HhHHhHhahahahaha. Who can disagree with Runin?

I associate "Ninja Spirit"/Toneman with Samurai Ghost because he was really into that game for a while.
Rolins with Raiden (especially SCD Raiden) because he's the only one I know who has beaten the SCD version.
Helgeson with any of the SNK fighters on the arcade card / TimeKillers
Paranoia with the title track from Impossamole
Emerald Rocker with Kiaden 00

etc. etc.

[WoodyXP]

My girlfriend calls me Bonk because she thinks I look like him.  So I guess the PC Genjin
games can be related to me.

[Ninja Spirit]

I associate "Ninja Spirit"/Toneman with Samurai Ghost because he was really into that game for a while.

etc. etc.

Haha thanks man! As of now I think I'm the only one on this planet that could beat it in one go.

I was kinda hoping the same for Son Son II..

Son Son II looks awesome, and someone posted some really useful info on the old magicengine boards a few year(s)? ago...

I've only played it for a few minutes, because there are a few things I'm clueless about

[rolins]

 

Steve666/esteban = Military Madness
Keranu = Insector X
Ninja Spirit = Saigo no Nindou
GUTS = Kaze Kiri
PCEngineHell = Time Killers
Seldane/FM-77 = Ys
CrackTiger = Tengai Makyo

[esteban]

Keranu = Insector X

GUTS = Kaze Kiri
PCEngineHell = Time Killers
Seldane/FM-77 = Ys
CrackTiger = Tengai Makyo

You know, I was thinking about CrackTiger and I associate NEO METAL FANTASY with him the most.

Why?

Well, I had never given that game a second look until I read B_T's posts about it. So, for me, this was the most memorable game, since I would not have never really given it a chance had it not been for him.

Woo hoo!

[NecroPhile]

My girlfriend calls me Bonk because she thinks I look like him.  So I guess the PC Genjin
games can be related to me.

Which one?  Normal Bonk, angry Bonk, atomic Bonk, or pantywaist Bonk?  Please don't say pantywaist Bonk.

[Keranu]

Woo hoo!

Good choice for CrackTiger! His posts about the game always made an impression on me as well.

[esteban]

So, Keranu, where is B_T these days?

[Keranu]

He was away for a long time (albeit not as long as you ) and then came back some time ago and posts every now and then. He said he came back from some top secret mission, so I don't know what the old cat is up to.
