As I've mentioned to others, I never heard anything about this back in the day. I had a few connections with some people back then & this story is wild to me. I categorize it with the story about MK exclusivity. TTI may have made an attempt to get both those games exclusive, but there was no chance

I went to high school with the son of the guy(William Arthur Huff) who did most of the work on Ghost Manor. I don't know a ton of details but my friend told me Icom wanted at least a 6 meg limit for the game, a lot of ideas, graphics & sound ended up on the cutting room floor.

Off the top of my head I'm thinking Battle Royale by Incredible Technologies might be the first North American exclusive

One of the first games I played on the TG as a kid, definitely a classic for me.

The Bravoman arcade game had major technical problems, but when Namco brought it to the PC Engine, they cleaned that up and made one of the quirkier action games on the system.

I've actually been wondering recently if this game could be improved by remaking it to be more like the first game. Basically having the same levels and bosses etc but shrinking things down a bit and of course adjusting the physics etc.

Rastan Saga II for the PC Engine was a fairly faithful port of Taito's arcade game.

Of course, that arcade game was notoriously awful, so...

Because I lived close to one of the original test areas, I speculate that made a difference in TurboGrafx stuff being sold everywhere. Even still, most people of coarse had a Genesis or especially the SNES, but there was an unusual number of people with TG's that I went to school with.

I was actually one of those few who had a TurboGrafx as a kid and lived in an area where there was quite a few people that also had one. I was able to borrow Rondo back in the 90s from a rich kid I went to school with. Though I didn't end up picking up my own copy till many years later on eBay.

Yeah, it was a random update by one of the main people that works there. I don't know what would be holding it back at this point. I know at times for PC Engine homebrew games there's been issues finding someone that can properly press the discs, so maybe that's an issue?

That's what I tend to think, but I'm trying not to hold my breath about it just in case it never gets finished for whatever reason.

The Classic Arcade and Console Era (1972-1989) - Dungeon Explorer A five-player hack and slash dungeon crawler in the style of Gauntlet with light Zelda-style action RPG elements, crafted by the team that would go on to make the Megami Tensei series.

Dungeon Explorer is a five-player (!) Gauntlet-style overhead hack & slash game for the TurboGrafx-16. It holds up surprisingly well today.

Sure, it has a silly villain named Natas (spell it backwards and you'll groan), but it was good enough to spawn some sequels!

I just want to put this out into the universe.

If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, Iโ€™d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.

Been quite some time since I've heard anything, I think January maybe? I heard there's been some progress made, having made a deal with the original guy who helped with the fan translation (Burnt Lasagna). Apparently he lives right down the street from LRG.
