Die Hard on the PC Engine is one of those games that people mainly know because of how much of a mismatch the game is to the movie. However, if you ignore the wild swamps surrounding downtown LA and the multifloor outside structures inside a skyscraper, there is a fun game.

Sekigahara is a traditional wargame for the PC Engine that focuses in on a single battle. It's also one of the worst wargames I've ever played.

For Mitsubachi Gakuen, Hudson thought "If one idol is good, how about twenty of them!" And then they made an adventure game out of 19 people who would never have an entertainment career and 1 who had an unfortunate one.
Also, there's a surprise twist in the story.

A long-standing mystery has been solved. This pirate Famicom multicart turned up about 20 years ago, with an unknown piece of Splatterhouse artwork on it. Turns out that artwork is from Marukatsu PC Engine - Volume 16 - April 1990.
