I finally want to deep-dive into this console's library, but I'm having trouble sifting through all the ported arcade games.
What are the best games that were exclusively made for the PC-Engine, including the CD-ROM2 add-on and the PC-Engine Duo?
Also, I'm curious about multi-plat games where the PC-Engine port is considered the best version - later-gen ports notwithstanding

If you're a fan of slower-paced and more strategic shmups, you need to get on top of this game. Cool multi-weapon system that you get right from the start, and then you can freely upgrade each weapon as you go through the stages. In that way it kind of reminds me of Radiant Silvergun. I also appreciate the fact that you play as a robot running on the ground and not a flying ship for a change.

Momotarou Densetsu Turbo, II and Gaiden. Technically Turbo is a remake of a Famicom game and Gaiden is originally a GB game and also later ported to NES but the PC-E versions are probably the bests (in both cases)

>but I'm having trouble sifting through all the ported arcade games.

some of the ports are superior to the arcade versions or are unique enough they're worth it on their own

>Also, I'm curious about multi-plat games where the PC-Engine port is considered the best version

probably a somewhat subjective list but here you go. if theres some very clear multipats i left out then its cuz i think they're better on genesis

>bomberman 94
>atomic robo kid

>rainbow islands
>aero blasters (but not a stomp. genesis one looks better but worse music, controls, and has load times, also easier)
>super dodgeball (straight up superior to the arcade version)
>river city ransom
>volfied (much better game though genesis is closer to arcade)

controversial but i think devil crush is better on genesis. has improved bonus stage graphics, and theres a final boss now so you dont need to spend 30 hours maxxing out the score to win the game
