PC Engine Games

So I've been messing around with this the past weekend... I tried out a few games that I'd always meant to play. Let me know if there are others I should try out.

Castlevania X: Rondo of Blood - Fantastically overrated, this is an average Castlevania game that had CD quality music back when that was something special. Little girl Maria as a playable character is damn awesome, though.

Bonk's Adventure - Simplistic presentation, simplistic gameplay, below average game. Did this come with the system?

Bonk's Revenge - A drastic improvement imo, I had fun with this one.

Bonk III - Barely touched it, too much Bonk, really.

Air Zonk - Always wanted to try this, too bad it's terrible.

Turrican - I blow up in about a minute, seemed to be pretty shitty.

Devil's Crush - Fantastic pinball game, I remember this was the only game I enjoyed on the TG-16 back when my cousin had one.

Alien Crush - Pretty shitty compared, did this come before or after Devil's Crush?

Bravoman - Complete, utter trash.

Parodius - Great shooter, really liked this one.

Blazing Lazers - Terrible and boring.

I think that's everything I got my hands on.

I would recommend you shut your whorish mouth.

I heard Sapphire is ok.

I liked, and still like, Blazing Lazers. Also thought Salamander was really good, and Bonk's Revenge is one of my favorites.

Has anyone tried PCEAdvance? I've seen pictures of Dracula X being played on the GBA, but I've no way to try this thing out... anyone willing to admit that they've tried it?

EDIT: Found some pics...

I don't think Rondo is overrated at all. I'm as cynical as anyone and when I finally played it, I still thought it stood out as the best of the oldschool vanias. It's just balanced right. I dunno. It's very similar to the SNES one which sucks ass, but Rondo nails it somehow.
