Aleste  Compile1988An excellent shooting game by Compile. Aleste was released for various platforms, but the MSX version is the original one. A great variety of levels, great graphics and great music. Beware, though, as this is not an easy game. MSX2labelimageminimize
Aleste 2  Compile1989There's little doubt about it: this is probably one of the best 2D shoot 'm up games that was ever released. This game is very well balanced in every way. There are eight different levels, many bosses, a beautiful intro sequence and there's a demo after finishing the first four levels as well. This is a game you really have to play.

Aleste Gaiden  Compile1989This game wasn't released as a stand-alone game, but it was published on Compile's Disc Station Special 4 (Autumn Edition). It's a small game, consisting of only five stages, but yet it's a very good game. This is a special part of the Aleste series and is therefore also known as 'Aleste Special'. An original shoot 'm up game, in which you don't operate a space craft, but a ninja robot. Therefore, you can not simply fly over the scenery, but you have to watch your step. MSX2labelimageminimize
Alien Crush  Naxat (Compile)1988A very good pinball game with an interesting concept and a nice 'Aliens' setting. Play controls and ball movements are excellent.***
[1]***Alien Crush is a fan-favorite pinball game that features a sinister sci-fi theme. Play through a two-level playing field that comes to life with pulsating alien creatures. Rack up a high enough score, clear the board of these extraterrestrials and discover secret bonus stages. The game features realistic pinball action, complete with a tilt function and two selectable soundtracks. Do you have what it takes to fight back against this alien infestation?***The first pinball game for the PC Engine, and one of the first on console and finally the first pinball which wasn't a simulation of a real pinball machine, but a pinball setting in a strange alien world.
You must hit targets, make ramps and so on like in any other pinball game, but here the goal is to open hidden worlds to destroy many more hostile aliens.
Very original and innovative !

Championship Lode Runner  Sony (Compile)1986 MSXlabelimageminimize
City Adventure Touch: Mystery of Triangle  Toho (Compile)1987A game based on the highschool/sports manga and anime series "Touch". Your goal is to rescue ten cats which are hidden somewhere in a huge city and its surroundings. You are controlling two male characters at the same time (another female character is constantly following you around). That makes controlling the characters very complicated. You have to buy items from time to time to open up new part of the game world or to beat some bosses. The game is not very playable. Worst thing is the very limited inventory space. In order to free some space you have to drop several items from time to time. But this can only be done in certain houses! Also, shuffling through the inventory items is bothersome. The city is a huge maze with many streets, a forest, beach etc. Its hard to find your way around without a map and walkthrough. Compile should have kept with making great shoot'em ups instead of doing such a below average Action-Adventure game. NESlabelimageminimize

Devil's Crush  Naxat;NEC Technologies (Compile)1990Devil's Crush is the exciting sequel to the hit pinball game Alien Crush and features even smoother ball movement and enhanced special effects. Shoot the ball onto the board with the Devil Shooter, then use flippers and nudging to keep it in play and rack up a high score. Complete certain conditions to play up to six different bonus stages. Get a "Perfect Clear" on those to earn a huge amount of points. The game's ominous theme is enhanced by its enemies: wandering skeleton knights, sorcerers and even a giant face that changes from a goddess to a sinister serpent. PC Enginelabelimagesubject

Golvellius  Compile1987 MSXlabelimageminimize
Golvellius 2  Compile1988This sequel to the Compile classic Golvellius was released only for MSX2. It's a worthy sequel. The game itself looks a lot like Golvellius 1, but it has much better graphics and music and the storyline is much more detailed than the one of its predecessor. The main game is an action RPG in birdsview style and the caves are both horizontal (platform) and vertical scrolling ones. The game features many items to be found, mysteries to be solved and monsters to be defeated. There's a total of eight boss monsters. This really is a great game. MSX2minimizeimageminimize
Golvellius: Valley of Doom Sega (Compile)1988You play as Kelesis, who has entered the valley of doom in search of Rena. Rena was kidnapped by the Mad King Golvellius. Are you strong enough to face his demon hordes to find her?***

Gun Nac  Tonkin House;Nexoft;ASCII (Compile)1990The most happening place in the universe is the trendy, upscale solar system of IOTA Synthetica, part of the Galactic Federation of artificial stars. It's as far from dirty old Earth as can be... But don't sign up to go yet! A strange cosmic energy field with a major attitude has engulfed the system, and the most outrageous things are happening. Ordinary inanimate objects are coming to life - harmless little animals are becoming rabid giants - and the freaked-out residents are under attack! The only Galactic Commander who can handle this ordeal is the eccentric renegade called Gun-Nac. He can oust this aura that's threatening the destruction of comfortable artificial life as we know it. But where in the universe is he? He could be as far away as Earth, searching for a new Game Pak. Commander Gun-Nac, if you read this, call H.Q., A.S.A.P., O.K.?

Gunhed  Hudson Soft;NEC HE (Compile)1989
[1]***Outstanding fantastic shooter. Plays like a dream. Best example why the PC-Engine was so popular amongst shoot'em up fans.***Blazing Lazers is a vertical-scrolling shooter that was praised for surpassing the limitations of the hardware of its time. Players control the extraordinary firepower of their Gunhed Star Fighter to take on the Dark Squadron that has begun its invasion of Earth. Collect power-ups to increase your ship's battle strength so it can cut through enemies and defeat the bosses in all nine areas. Of course, as part of the "Soldier" series, the game contains a good combination of fast-paced speed with catchy, drum-propelled background music, coupled with the Field Thunder that can be used to destroy enemies in one fell swoop for the ultimate sense of satisfaction. With its fine-tuned difficulty levels, Blazing Lazers is a shooting game that anyone can enjoy.***This is one of the most addictive games ever made. You can keep the rest of the series this is the boy to own.
Having had this game for best part of 10 years I can honestly say I still play it on a regular basis.
A definate purchase job.***This is what NEC's little console does best, fantastic shoot em ups, this has it all, ace graphics thumping soundtracks and long lifespan.
Theres no slow down or no flicker even though theres loads of sprites on screen and the action is relentless, they dont make games like this anymore.

Kirby's Avalanche  Banpresto;Compile;Hal (Nintendo)1995Everyone's favorite round, pink hero takes a break from swallowing his enemies to put your brain to work in this fast-paced puzzle game. Players take control of Kirby and match wits with well-known enemies from the Kirby series (including his arch rival, King Dedede) in an effort to win the First Annual Dream Land Avalanche Competition. The simple-but-addictive game play revolves around brightly colored blobs and boulders. When the right amount of matching blobs are stacked, they explode and rain down on your opponent's field of play. Repeat this until your screen is clear to move on to the next round. But be careful—the farther you advance, the faster the blobs fall and the smarter the opponents get. Are you good enough to help Kirby become the avalanche king?***Although it is practically a port of "Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine," this is still the best puzzle game around.

[Zerothis]***Take the concept of a billiard game, simplify the rules, design many extraordinary tables and you get a game like Lunar Ball (or Lunar Pool as it is called in the US/EU). Since the controls are good and the movement of the balls are comprehensible the game is surprisingly fun.***Lunar Pool takes the historical game of billiards and reinvents it with a unique and futuristic flair. The rules are simple: All you need to do is use your cue stick to hit the white cue ball, causing it to hit the other numbered balls and make them go into the pockets. You can enjoy nearly unlimited game play with 30 tables, two different ball arrangements, and the ability to change the degree of friction on the table. You can play against a computer or another human player, so try challenging someone once you've got the hang of the game.
