After some practice though, my old school reflex starts to kick back in and the platforming is just heaven. I can see why they say Rondo was a good game, got to thank Iga for re-releasing it since so few people got to experience it on the PC Engine, at just the right time too since it's starting to feel a little dated. lol, that’s what I did actually, been playing Dracula X Chronicles on the PSP for the past week, the old Castlevania is so damn hard and unforgiving.

Air Zonk indeed rocks!@Edgekun - ahh... good point. I can't think of any PC-Engine clones. Perhaps none were made because finding the physical games is quite a challenge?@Aoshi00 - you may have missed the original Rondo, but you can experience it on the PSP :) @jeffx – wow Rondo of blood for $20 is sweet, but playing Dungeon Explorer with your grandmother is out of this world :)

There were lots of good shmups and ninja games too, and Zonk (PC Genjin) was a great mascot, just like Sonic and Mario. I was too young to remember the system well though since I was in grade school, I thought the think hue cards were very nifty compared to the chunky NES cartridges.

I remember seeing the Turbo express and seeing the price tag of $200. This system was home to my favorite character Air Zonk....now that game rocks!

It's really too bad that you can't find any sort of console (other than Wii) to play PCE games on. In the event you can't find a snes or nes, you could at least buy an FC twin. But sadly there's no such alternative for this wonderful piece of gaming history. =( Lots of fond memories, considering the TG16 was my first video game console.
