Top 10 TurboGrafx-16 Games

[@GameSack]

What are YOUR favorite games for the TurboGrafx/PC Engine systems?

[@SeveredLegs]

Bomberman '93 might be my favorite PCE game. Yeah I know Bomberman '94 is probably the better game but I have more memories playing '93 on Wii.

[@MadStalker80]

Star Parodier, Salamander, Gradius 2, Parasol Stars, Nexzr, Rainbow Islands, Pomping World, Saigo no Nindou / Ninja Spirits, Forgotten Worlds, Image Fight 2. Really tough to narrow it down to only 10 games. There are so many great games on the PC Engine.

[@ninjapirate47]

Being one of those filthy limeys, I never even HEARD of the turbo grafix or pc engine in the UK until I was in my 20s or 30s. Shame as well because it looked like it could hang with the rest of them. Sega should have learned something from how it handled it's cd add on as it doesn't look like a giant waste of time and produced some belters. The music in rondo still kicks so much ass. That opener.

[@blueshky]

Hit the ice. Joe, I'm sorry. I really am. I had one friend with a tg16, and we were both sports guys so we played that the most :(

[@Guardian978]

Devil's Crush!!!

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Loved all the explanations on the voice cast for Ys Books 1 and 2!

[@jessragan6714]

I did a few voices for the Ys IV fan translation, and let me tell you, Alan Oppenheimer, Jim Cummings, and Michael Bell is an act that's impossible to follow. You ever heard the guy who replaced Bell as Charles Finster on Rugrats? He's a professional VO, and even he comes up woefully short.

[@ViskasVelniop]

Now I know Pooh Bear is in the cast, gonna have to start savin' up for some turbo gear.

[@OnImpulse16]

Wow! 😍Didn’t know that. It’s amazing home much we are still learning from a game that is more than 25 years old.

[@SheaHarris]

Winnie the Pooh is a lot more talented than I realized.

[@joshbigbee8733]

Joe! i always say this, but you run the best retro gaming channel on KZbin. period. please don't stop doing what you do man. we all appreciate you

[@alainsoucysergerie9879]

Did you say "tits"? I agree, though.

[@garage2track]

I still own this console and 38 games. My dad bought it in 89 and I kept it. Still my favorite console of the era!

i dug into the ps3 just a few years ago, i bought a ps3 and a 50 game library for $150. but the load times, download times, save data files, it was almost unusable. i ended up using it mainly as a ps1 player and it wasnt even good at that

LOL! Yeah that was pretty good. I’m still partial to the “this is as comfortable as holding the balls of GOD.” line in the retro duo episode.

[@ezequielgomez7083]

For Me My Top 10 list on my opinion 10. Bonk's Adventure 9. Salamander (Lifeforce) 8. Devil's Crush 7. Galaga 88 6. Chase H.Q 5. Ninja Spirit 4. Marchen Maze 3. Legendary Axe 2. Gate of Thunder 1. Super Star Soldier

[@Natepwnsu]

I would like to take a moment to say how much I appreciate Joe always having such clean and level audio. I feel like it's the only show I don't find myself turning it up or down.

[@Michirin9801]

Some personal faves not mentioned are Asuka 120% Maxima Burning Fest, the Bomberman games (especially '94), Magical Chase, Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu, Dragon's Curse, New Adventure Island, Cotton (though I might prefer 100% on SNES), Star Parodier, and I honestly like Ys 3 the most out of those games...

[@tsvtsvtsv]

never played any of the asuka games myself but hot damn do they have some killer soundtracks

[@Michirin9801]

@@tsvtsvtsv I'm particularly fond of the very first game's soundtrack on the Sharp X68k, it's brilliant!

[@linkvagar2336]

Man, if the Turbografx-16 had advertising as good as that skit, they would have crushed the Genesis!

[@agent109g8]

Would have crushed the overrated SNES.

[@TheNinjaStuff]

​@@agent109g8If you're of the opinion that the SNES is overrated, that's one thing... But the top 5 SNES games are arguably better than the entire TG catalog.

[@PCorNPC]

​@@TheNinjaStuff LOL nope. Ys 1&2 are better than anything on SNES. Better music and voice than any of their games by far.

[@JasonWardStudios]

The biggest failure of the NEC team was packing Keith Courage with the console. If they had put R-Type in there instead, and maybe swapped to Bonk's when it came out, I think they would have swept the North American market with a lot more ease!

[@thereagauze]

I only saw commercials on MTV at like 2am for it.

[@mikematei]

TG-16 always a good subject for a video. I will await your 1 hour review of “yo bro”

[@ErikLarson-l9k]

I still say getting a Coregrafx Mini might be my best gaming purchase of the last few years. Never played a TG16 and couldn’t get an emulator to work properly on my ancient computer so I had zero experience. But that device awakened a love of shmups I never knew I had. Soldier Blade, Spriggan, Blazing Lazers…Lords of Thunder is now my favorite shmup ever.

[@ShaFnZAM]

That vertical Spriggan is terrific.

[@wizzgamer]

This is the kind of person it's best for the amount of KZbinrs saying they shouldn't release mini consoles where the original console didn't release is nonsense it's arguably more reason as we never got chance to play it that's why it's good it was released in the UK as the original console launch was stupidly cancelled.

[@IsThisReality]

Turbografx is such a great system. Please do more top 10. It’s nice to see what games people are fond of.

[@JopieHaargel]

Everybody and their grandma already does top tens on KZbin. It's up to you, brave sir Sack, to make a Top Ten of Top Tens!

[@golions13579]

When a dude who doesn’t like pinball has Devil’s Crush in his top 10, you know the devs at Naxat Soft worked many late nights smoking cigarettes and brewing many pots of coffee while creating it. You can feel the love put into that game.

[@AmberShort]

Turbografx is so underrated. Such a shame it never got the love it deserves. I'm happy that I was able to pick up the mini with no regrets.

[@jolu4294]

I lived in Japan for a while and asked a Japanese friend to explain the "Rondo of Blood", it apparently means Circle of Blood representing blood lines, which makes sense for the Castlevania series.

[@tsvtsvtsv]

rondo is a musical term. that game started the (fairly inconsistent) trend of having future titles in the series feature some kind of musical reference - symphony of the night, harmony of dissonance, aria of sorrow

[@jolu4294]

@@tsvtsvtsv Ahhh, thanks for that information! That makes sense!

[@mr.horseshoe2301]

Best produced retro game videos on KZbin. Keep up the amazing work. Also, we need top 10's for literally EVERYTHING. People love this stuff!

[@jordans4827]

That commercial at the end was amazing! If I saw your commercial on Saturday morning, I would have chosen a TG-16 over the Genesis and Super Nes.

[@rgm4646]

I think Blazing Lazers is better than Soldier Blade, but... im bias. I got that game for Christmas back in the day

[@fresnokila3]

Double Dungeons was that one game I remember trying on the Wii's Virtual Console, and could not stop playing for some reason. I got pretty far too. Something about memorizing everything bit by bit, and getting stronger on each retry, just had me coming back for more.

[@vvlvmusic]

R-Type is such a classic. Agreed, the PCE Version is the best one, but my fav is the SMS version. I grew up with it (and of course, the exclusive level) so that's why. R-Type also has AWESOME music. The only R-Type sequel I feel this strongly about it Delta on the PS1.

[@DeformedConscience]

I like how you are keeping it real with the old-school interlude music in this video. I've missed hearing that!

[@3amcoder.]

Are we to assume Military Madness is only ranked #11? How dare you!

[@registerednerd9270]

Don't you mean Air Zonk?

[@anthonybird546]

For real, Military Madness was so awesome

[@thaddeusmcgrath]

That game was awesome for turn based and i am not or still a Final Fantasy RPG fan. That changed me to try the RPG type games since that game came out. Cannon Fodder SNES and Hogs Of War PS1 was awesome too.

[@stuffyouotterlistento1461]

I think Military Madness got more play than every other game we had combined. It's an easy #1 for me. It is too bad that there aren't many balanced levels for PvP play though. I mean, we made do by giving handicaps of different sorts, giving the blue player an extra turn or not letting the green player grab a particular factory on the first two turns, etc., and there was some fun in trying to balance things like this, but it still would've been to have the game more geared towards PvP play, because that's how we overwhelmingly used it.

[@sumgamezandstuff]

Gonna miss the old intro. But I will say, the newest Take on Me inspired one is pretty cool!

[@Shrapnel82]

Wait.... Winnie The Pooh? "Before I shatter their souls, and drain the last of their life's blood" Silly old bear.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

If you like that, you should check out the original Star Trek episode "Wolf in the Fold". You'll get to hear the original voice of Piglet say...things Piglet normally doesn't say.

[@kadosho02]

I never owned this console. But I find it very cool. Quite a library Oh I remember reading about Y's Book I&II voice cast, holy cow Dracula X: Rondo of Blood A legendary classic 🦇 Love it Hmm what platform to rank a top 10 list next? 🤔 Sega Master System, Genesis, Saturn, And Dreamcast Not sure about the 32x though. That one is an oddball. But could be a fun list too

[@neo6289]

Thanks Joe!!! I know it’s clickbait but more top 10 videos please!!!!

fell asleep watching, but the scream at 15:57 startled me awake with my heart in my throat. thanks game sack!! 😂

My friend, you outdo yourself with every episode, truly my favorite channel on the tube. Im one of those that still misses dave periodically, but am so thankfull you didnt hang it up and call it quits. Ill freely admit, the quality has gotten outstanding in the solo years, youve really gotten good at what you do, expirementing with different skits and art styles and such. I still miss dave sometimes though, id be lying to say otherwise. Hope you 2 are still friends.

[@budsunny]

TurboGrafx games, both in HuCard and on the CD, had fantastic music in several titles. Soldier Blade and Dungeon Explorer 2 being my two favorites personally. The Ys games are up there as well too. Fantastic video as always Joe!

[@wizzgamer]

So did the Mega Drive Sonic CD and Streets of Rage 2 being some of my favourites 😊

[@andyreichert499]

Ninja Spirit is one of my favorite games on the system. Love the weapon choices and stage variety. Nice and short for a quick replay every once in a while too.

[@jessragan6714]

Bonk's Revenge is definitely the peak of that series. The stuff that came later on Super NES was so ludicrously random and weird that it felt like a bad acid trip. Did Bonk just turn into a fish? And now he's being fed through a pipe? Why is any of this happening?

[@Andrea-di2ew]

Super bonk is my pick. There is a whole level that is prehistoric tokyo and you can transform into godzilla snd destroy the (prehistoric) japanese parliament house. Then you can go to the moon and fight the lunar rabbit among the ruins of an alien civilization

[@Robert_Shmigelsky]

The second Bonk on the SNES is pretty good, but it only came out on the Super Famicom.

[@DeathlessDevil]

I love acid trip Bonk. After he sort of failed as a commercial mascot, he went super weird.

[@jessragan6714]

@@DeathlessDevil You'd love Super Tempo on the Saturn. Regular Tempo on 32X was fairly weird, but Super Tempo shifts into fourth gear and snaps off the stick shift.

[@xerb9920]

Old comment but I love all the bonk games, such a great character, too bad there will be no new games

[@WrestlingWithGaming]

This was a great reminder that i need to finally get around to playing Rondo of Blood this year. I'm not usually the biggest fan of top 10s because they tend to be very surface-level at best, but you did it right by actually giving us some background and a mini review of each game. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing more and judging by the views after just a couple of days, i don't think I'm alone.

[@aaronmarko]

I know you've had it for a while but I think the new intro is phenomenal

[@Unquestionable]

Always enjoyed the TurboGrafx, my cousin owned one and whenever I would visit he would let me got wild on it. Beat both Bonk games, a big deal to me as I was like 6 and loved gaming but didn't have the skills yet, and loved watching him play all the top tier shoot'em ups. Also only sort of related but back, during my late/post high school life a group of my friends who were in a band together put out a concept album based around telling the story of Splatterhouse. Was heavy metal of course and even looking back pretty impressive with how much love it showed for the series. Great guys and still keep in touch with them; always will treasure the weekends I would watch them practice, help them set up for a local show, then spend the day after recovering with a day of NES themed gaming.

[@ElGranMoco-XB]

Did your friends ever put that album out anywhere? TG16 nerds around the globe would love to hear it.

[@HungryHungryDude]

Is it me or was this episode extra hilarious?? One of my favorite episodes in a while. Keep up the good work.

[@nintendianajones64]

Agreed 100% if The Legendary Axe was bundled with the console we'd have had a different console race.

[@PeteSkerritt]

This episode hits such a nostalgic sweet spot for me, personally. I loved my Turbo/CD when I had it, before real life happened and I had to part with it in early 1994 after getting laid off. By the time I got into retro collecting about 10 years ago, Turbo stuff was already was too pricey to get (back). Seeing (and hearing!) these games unlocks a lot of memories. That’s a meaningful gift. Thank you for that. Also- I’m all for more Top XX videos in the future, if you’d like to make them.

[@nebnosneh]

Joe you should check out the music for the C64 version of R-Type if you have not already. You are right about the great music in the PC Engine version but IMHO the C64 music is even better!

[@GameSack]

It's good, but not better. However it trounces the arcade original.

[@animalhouse8849]

I'm all for the top 10 videos. You're usually casting a big net when it comes to the amount of games you cover in your usual content. I always enjoy seeing you go in depth with games.

R-Type’s soundtrack absolutely SLAPS

[@nunyabiz2889]

I had a TG16 growing up in the 90s and loved LOVED it. I unfortunately lost it in my mid-20s to a drug addiction and ripped myself off and have never played it since. One of my big regrets since getting sober years ago. Edit - I had around 40 games with it that I gave away for free with the purchase of the console. Oh, and the buyer talked me down from my asking price, and I took it. 😢.

[@bgpixlarn6855]

I feel like most "Console X top 10 games" lists always have some weird and questionable picks driven by blind nostalgia, but this one is incredibly strong and hard to argue against.

[@Marcus_K]

He didn't include any of the multiplayer games, any of the later and more technically advanced PC Engine arcade card CD games like Fatal Fury Special or Art of Fighting, or famous PC Engine CD classics like Gradius 2 or Kojima's Snatcher. Or even the fantastic port of Street Fighter 2. But it's obviously meant to be just a personal top 10, so in that sense you can't argue against it.

[@ninjapirate47]

That, sir, was a quality end skit. I swear to God, Joe, if I have to listen to you talk about legendary axe again after all these years (and we will!) I'm going to have to destroy every copy. although it was worth it for that "beat it" joke. Glad you finally got around to finishing it. The closure must have been satisfying. I'll bet you beat it again right after! You've been doing this so long that it must be hard finding new topics. I'm perfectly open to top 10s of any variety in between your more ambitious and specialist projects. Thanks for making Sunday mornings in Europe worthwhile. We still love you for it.

[@arashnikoubashman6946]

We Europeans got shafted in the 16bit era with low quality 50Hz ports, and no TurboGrafx/PC-engine at all. I still remember seeing screenshots and reports of it in gaming magazines, and wanting to try it out so badly.

[@Pai3000]

Spanish guy here. It was sold in Europe actually. I bought it at Spain's biggest retail store at that time and you could find games on some stores too. We even had a NEC club. I called them a couple of times, bought some games from them and they sent me mails from time to time. The box had a very nice bluish design based on R-Type's second stage, if I remember correctly, and the console itself was exactly like its american counterpart but used red and blue instead of orange and green as accent colours. It had a propietary connector on the side and came with RF and RCA leads. Sadly, it was 50Hz, but on the other hand it was compatible with american games. It was the least popular of the "16-bit" consoles but many people remember it (people who liked videogames, I mean. Consoles were not nearly as popular as they're today). It was also regularly featured on gaming magazines. Just Google "Turbografx PAL" and you'll find it. EDIT: Typos

[@MaxH0ward]

The turbo grafx came out in europe

[@ninjapirate47]

I have absolutely no recollection of it coming out in Europe, no reason to doubt max below but I knew NO'ONE who had this console or even spoke of it in Scotland. Wonder if it got a mainland release.

[@arashnikoubashman6946]

Apparently it got a (minor) release in the UK, Spain, and Portugal. I never saw it in Germany or France during my childhood.

[@Fluclear]

I think it was Telegames (they were basically a shop, based in Peterborough) that brought PC Engine to the UK 'officially', though it was pretty covert.

[@darthbaker182]

I got a TG-16 mini during Covid & it helped keep me sane. Good little deep dive for a few months. Has become one of my favorite systems. A real hidden gem of a console (PC Engine anyways).

I appreciate how you have come around on emulation I remember Dave saying "emulation is a dirty word"😆 back when you started the channel retro gaming was much more affordable, im glad more people can get into these games through emulation since the barrier to owning a collection is so high. I have a massive collection myself but its nice to share the hobby with people who cant afford that.

[@zanegandini5350]

To be fair, emulation has come a long way since the beginning of Game Sack. Maybe not so much for the TG-16, but systems like the Saturn, PS1, etc, they are way more accessible nowadays.

[@JasonWardStudios]

Great selection for sure! Some of my favorites not already mentioned in your video include: Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes, Neutopia II, Dungeon Explorer II (LOVE the music from that one), Langrisser: Hakari no Matsuei (JP Only), Cadash, Dragon's Curse, Ninja Spirit. I loved my TG16 and Super CD Rom2 system, it was an amazing time in video games, and while I certainly enjoyed my SNES when it came along, the TG16 always held a special place for me with it's amazing and unique 6 channel sound, beautiful and unbeatable color palette in the 16 bit console genre (yes, others had more, but couldn't display as many), HUGE sprites, and those CD games with pure, raw red book CD audio soundtracks couldn't even be touched by the competition.

[@DenilsonSa]

There are so many top 5 and top 10 and similar lists everywhere, and they usually repeat the same games. (e.g. the Sonic, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Castlevania, Mega Man games…) Yes, we know about those, they are extremely famous for good reasons. I'd be more interested in the top 11th-to-20th games, or the top non-obvious games on those platforms. It would be similar to a "hidden gems" list, but these are not necessarily hidden. They are just great games shadowed by the other massively famous games.

Please do more videos like this, I loved it. Thanks for giving me tons of content to watch while on the toilet

Eyes on your own paper Joe! Your list is almost exactly like mine! And I also think The Legendary Axe should have been the pack in…

Another Sunday morning with Sunday morning breakfast and game sack, keep them coming. Feels like when I would have breakfast and watch Saturday morning cartoons, I'm that old 😁

Looks like he can actually play R-Type. Nice!

Nice list. PCE is such a great system. It was interesting to see your opinion shift from some previous videos such as listing Soldier Blade over Final Soldier and Lords of Thunder instead of Gate of Thunder. It's like you said, a favorite games list is always changing. I'm the same way. Looking forward to future videos like this!

I DO NOT remember that "suckin' you while you cussin'" part of Rondo at all but it's good to know that it's there. I keep thinking about giving that game another playthrough on my PC Engine like every single day, it might be time to do that.

I am a Blazing Lazers fan, but I can see why that was the alternative. Some other TG16 games I enjoy a lot are Parasol Stars (purportedly getting a Switch physical release from Strictly Limited Games if they can get it out in the next 5 years), Air Zonk and Dragon's Curse, which sadly was not included on the massive Wonder Boy collection that came out.

Salute! PC Engine in recent years might have become my favourite 20th century console. It's just so visually vibrant, I love the waveforms the sound chip uses. Your next top 10 list should just be another PC Engine list. But on the off chance you don't go that route, come on, it's gotta be the Genesis.

That was an awesome episode, I’ve been watching for years and that was just one of the most fun episodes I’ve seen.
