Hmm... well okay. Maybe you take the time to decide first (like I do ) and then post your choice It's not like you don't have the full week to vote and you already have the two times bonus, so you don't get extra points for a fast vote

I know but if i dont get it up ill never make a decision. I made it though. Both games are very similar so i can be torn when neither of them would have won anyhow (:

I... I don't know about any games for these platforms.
I know hardly nothing about them...0_o All I know is there is Devil Crash ( or Devil's Crush if you're not from Japan...) for TB16. That's good. Err... Anybody know if the TB16 has got something like HoL or Lemon? That would be nice, help me pick out something. |

What kind of games are you into Predabot? TG16 was known to have a lot of arcade ports to it. That may help some. I dont know of any resources like HOL for the TG16 but i could probably give you some names of games when i know what you like. This was one of my favorite consoles as a tike.
i have attached a list of games from my computer if it helps any. Last edited by TodaysForgotten; 31 March 2009 at 01:25. |

All right! I'm wading trough, and I think I've found some titles lads. Thanks for the intel.
1. Devil Crash 2. Operation Wolf 3. Dracula X ( gotta' love Castlevania) 4. STRIDER!! ( yeah, the arcade is the awesomest, but maybe there's something to gain from the PC engine as well) 5. I've got nothin'... Ah what the hell... R-type! |

Yup, please no CD games Can be a pain in the a** to get them and also our friends from Oz would thank us for the 400 MB downloads So we would only play cartridge based games (though some NeoGeo roms are rather big too...).

There are zips of these PC Engine CD-games and Sega CD-games with the audio tracks converted to mp3s. That's supported by every emulator and reduces the size of these games to less than 100MB.
For example Rondo of Blood is only ~60MB. Still it's a different system (and 60MB are still quite large)... |

I can really recommend this PC Engine-exclusive little gem called "Turrican".

You probably mean "Tangram". No, Turrican is completely different!
Okay, here are some more games suited for competition: Bonk 1-3* Galaga '88 Gradius Legendary Axe, The Mr. Heli New Zealand Story, The** Ninja Gaiden Parasol Stars** Parodius Da! R-Type** Raiden Salamander Super Star Soldier Terra Cresta II*** *: Bonk is known as BC Kid on Amiga **: also available on Amiga ***: "Hybris" on the Amiga is based on Terra Cresta I (IIRC) |

To be perfectly serious now...
My point of view on this is as follows: If a game is available for various platforms - choose the Amiga version if it doesn't have some kind of a huge FLAW that makes it very bad. To really experience a different platform - always choose a game you had not played before. So I'll not be with you on this, sorry |
