Summary: DINOFORCE IS PROBABLY THE MOST INFAMOUS UNRELEASED PC ENGINE TITLE
OUT THERE. IT WAS FEATURED IN A FEW ISSUES OF PC ENGINE GEKKAN IN 1991. BUT EVENTUALLY NEVER SAW A RELEASE. A FEW RARE GLIMPSES OF PROTOTYPE VERSIONS SURFACED OVER THE YEARS, BUT A ROM WAS NEVER MADE AVAILABLE
AND THE COMPLETION STATUS OF THE GAME REMAINED A MYSTERY. THE ROM ACQUIRED THROUGH THE GAME'S ORIGINAL DESIGNER TOKUHISA TAJIMA AND BROUGHT TO US WITH THE HELP OF FRENCH COLLECTOR ALEX SEIMANDO NEEDED QUITE A BIT OF WORK. LOTS OF GRAPHICAL GLITCHES REQUIRED FIXING
AND THE GAMEPLAY WAS IN SERIOUS NEED FOR SOME REBALANCING. WITH THE HELP OF MARC VAN WOERKOM AND THE INCREDIBLE 6502 SKILLS OF CHRIS COVELL, WE'RE PROUD TO BRING YOU A GREAT VERSION OF A PC ENGINE SHOOT'EM UP CONSIDERED TO BE LOST FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS DINOFORCE IS A HORIZONTAL SHOOT'EM UP WITH A UNIQUE WEAPON SYSTEM
AND LOTS OF SECRETS TO DISCOVER. ENJOY!

Summary: Hypernova Blast is the follow up PCEngine release from Mindrec's 2004 release Meteor Blaster DX. Hypernova Blast is a re-imagining of the classic Nova Blast (ColecoVision, 1983) game. You select one of 5 ships to pilot, and must uses bombs and lasers to protect your domed cities from the alien invaders. You have a limited amount of energy, which doubles as your shields, and when a city gets too low, you will need to decide whether to save your city, or keep more energy for yourself. Your game is over when either all of your ship's energy has been depleted, or when all of your cities have fallen.

Summary: Implode is a homebrew puzzle game. It plays like a falling block puzzle in all respects, with the exception of the fact that the blocks appear from below instead of falling. All the blocks have the same shape and are only distinguished by their color. The player must selects groups of three or more identically colored blocks in order to make them disappear. The goal is to not let the blocks stack up and pass the upper border of the screen. Bombs would sometimes appear and clear out adjacent blocks if the player selects them. The game gradually advances to higher difficulty levels, with more colors and faster speed.

Also included on the CD are two games previously only released in downloadable emulation format: Crash and Humpball. The first is a single-screen overhead arcade racing game. Two cars race automatically on a maze-like screen in circular movement. Players must press directional buttons to switch between the tracks. The goal is to move over all the dots scattered in the stage while avoiding crashing into the other car.

Humpball can be described as a cross between Pong and a volleyball game. Two hump-like creatures are positioning on either side of a pole, tossing a ball towards the opponent's side by moving to the sides and jumping. The goal is to make the ball touch the opponent's floor, which results in scoring a point. Power-ups that move the pole to left or right, change the speed of the ball, gravity rules, etc., appear randomly and are activated when touched by the ball.

Summary: Imprisoned by an army of robots on a giant space station, you know there's only one thing you can do - blast your way out. That pretty much sums up the plot of Insanity, the first PC Engine game from homebrew developers Aetherbyte Studios. Insanity is essentially a clone of the classic arcade game Berzerk and retains the straightforward gameplay of the original. You run around the flip-screen play area (whose map layout is randomly generated from a selection of master templates) shooting the robots that are out to get you. The robots are pretty dumb to begin with and often blow themselves up by wandering into the electrified walls, but as you progress they get a little faster and a lot more aggressive, making anticipation and dodging of lasers key skills. The action is accompanied by a selection of retro styled music tracks, giving you the option of CD music or chip generated versions of the same tunes.
