Super Metal Crusher is a PC Engine game all about robot duels! One small problem: you just give the robots stats and watch the game play itself rather than take part in the combat.

Lady Phantom might have the most horror movie set up for a light-hearted game. It's a strategy game where you guide a commando team of mechs around and the game mechanics are interesting...
