U.S.-released HuCard-only TurboGrafx-16 games in order of best to worst

Bardoly · 08/03/2012, 05:07 PM

So, if money were no object at all, if a multi-millionaire 'gamer' who liked to play pretty much all genres of video games were given a TurboGrafx-16, which games should he get?

Suppose that he wanted to get 1 game at a time and play it until completion and have the full enjoyment of the game with no other distractions. In your opinion, in what order should he get the games and play them? Or, if you want to look at it differently, if a person were to have a TurboGrafx-16 flash cart of some kind for the 94 HuCard games and wanted to play the games through in best to worst game order, what would the order be in which he should play the games? (Note: I am not in favor of emulation, and I don't use it myself, but if someone else does, that's their business.) Also assume that this person would have friends available to play the multi-player games if needed.

I'm not looking for a list of the most expensive and/or most difficult games to find. I just want a list of the 'best' to 'worst' U.S.-released HuCard TurboGrafx-16 games.

I'll go ahead and put my list up, although I haven't actually played every single game, so my opinions on some of the games will be based on reviews which I've read.

Cadash - Tough choice, but I just really enjoy this game a lot!

Please give me your thoughts, opinions, and your own personal top 94 in order from best to worst. I'm mostly not much of a sports video games fan, so most of the sports titles in my list are towards the bottom.

Really should narrow it down to a top 10 not a top 94 lol.
Realistically though, there are what maybe 5 ultra expensive hucards that the average gamer won't want to spend the cash on? Now if money were no object when it came to collect every Neo Geo AES game that would be interesting.

What should he get: a Turbo Everdrive

But great list!

esteban · 02/13/2015, 10:21 PM

Hahahahahshashs. I love that this is only a list of 94 games. 100 would be unwieldy.

I agree with Nulltard! I enjoy gunboat a lot!!!

kosko99 · 02/14/2015, 03:56 PM

This list is pure gold since I had no clue what good games this system has, it helped me a lot!

cr8zykuban0 · 02/14/2015, 08:30 PM

hell yeah, for only 94 titles, the turbo had many awesome classics on the system!

slinkyturd · 02/14/2015, 10:26 PM

any one else notice Nulltard's list is a reverse order of the original post?

bob · 02/14/2015, 10:40 PM

+1

Psycho Punch · 02/14/2015, 10:57 PM

Nulltard that was perfect. Who the hell checks the date on a thread with 1 post only to see if it isn't a NecroPhile post? hahah

Where is Bardoly, anyway?

seieienbu · 02/15/2015, 09:13 AM

He's probably off playing Bomberman instead of Bomberman 93. Seriously, I'm shocked that anybody likes the older one more than the newer one.

Well, the single-player quest mode is awesome in the original Bomberman.

When it comes to the 2+ player battles, however, Bomberman1 is barebones and the later games are sooooo much better.

Quote from: guest on 02/14/2015, 10:38 PMFun facts:

1. My list is reverse order of OP. This took a while to do. Thanks for noticing!
2. Bardoly and I both listed bomberman twice (in addition to bomberman 93) because, fuck yeah! Bomberman!
3. Necropost from 2012.

I noticed that right away and was laughing lol.

Hello,

If you had to pick up 5 titles from that list to recommend to a PC Engine newbie what would those be? Those "5 game you just can't miss"
Thanks

that would be an interesting idea for a new thread. I don't believe there've been any like that.

for the quick answer: take the first 5 from my list.

welcome aboard, by the way!

Thanks >__<
It's quite a big world the PC Engine one
