some PC-Engine games are still without an equivalent on modern consoles. Of course if you only enjoy 3-D games, well, the PC-Engine may disappoint you a bit, but if you love good old 2-D games, especially shoot'em up

My favorite game genre is 2D shoot 'em up, but I have never tried the TG16. What are some good shoot 'em ups for the TG16?

Blazing Lazers is fun.

Blazing Lazers, Gradius, Coryoon Child of Dragon (very cute ^_^).

Those are the ones I have, and those are also the ones I play most of the time.
 
Um, basically all of em. The TG16 was eventually THE system to have for shooters back in the day, just like the DC seems to be becoming today.

Blazing Lazers/Gunhed, last I heard didn;t work correctly passed the first boss though. but other than that personal particular faves include:

Soldier Blade
Super Star Soldier
Cybercore
Airzonk (runs a little odd but works)
 
seem to remember there's a good version of twinbee on the PC-E.

It's either called pop'n'twinbee or bells and whistles

Awesome. When you say "all of em" do you really mean all of them? Because I'm downloading the full collection now, and I really hope you're not exaggerating. =D

Can't go wrong with any of these :)
 
I love Dragon Spirit and R-Type most for shooters, but the classic Hudson Soft 'soldier' trilogy /Soldier Blade/Blazing Lazers/Final Soldier is the real triple-crown of shooters on this unit imo. :)
