The PC Engine's 1992 begins with a shoot-'em-up, of course. Bouken Danshaku Don has got that perfect mix of creative design decisions and being really frustrating to actually play.

Val D'Esère Skiing and Snowboarding on the Jaguar is a very simple game about going downhill as fast as you can on either one or two boards strapped to your feet. And the results turn out pretty well, even if it's a lightweight game.

Super Momotarou Dentetsu II on the PC Engine is the moment that the giant series gets its most iconic features. But it's still a roll-and-move board game where random chance has a much bigger effect on the outcome than strategy.
