We already teased it a little while ago and some of you might have guessed correctly already. We’re very happy to bring you DINOFORCE on HuCard for PC Engine and Turbografx-16 setups. Pre-orders for HuCards are available and the game’s ROM file can be downloaded free of charge as well! Enjoy! Continue Reading
Today the PC ENGINE is celebrating its 35th Anniversary. October 30th, 1987 was the launch of the original white PC ENGINE system in Japan. Of course we’re also celebrating with a BIG SALE starting today and running for a full month until Black Friday at the end of November. [NOW OVER]
While the SuperGrafx wasn’t NEC’s most successful endeavor, the system is of course still an important part of the PC Engine family. With its graphical power it offered some of the finest titles of its time and with more and more compatible systems becoming available, it’s time to honor the system by collecting its most important titles into one gorgeous collection. Continue Reading
And now for something completely different! Well, almost…. If you’re an avid PC Engine collector, then there’s a good chance, you like NEC’s successor system, the PC-FX just as much. And this is why you might need our PC-FX Essential Collection.
Two full years since our last entry to the series and we’re back one final time with the fifth and final chapter in our Shooting Legends series. Once more four incredible PC Engine shoot’em ups collected in one neat set. Continue Reading
And our Black Friday sale 2021 is now live!! Starting today (November 25th) until Sunday next week (December 5th), we’re offering you nearly our complete back catalogue with some great discounts off the regular prices. And worldwide shipping is of course still included on all the prices. This year’s sale has ended. Continue Reading
We just opened orders for the first batch of Mega Engine units. If you registered your interest earlier this year, then you already got an invitation email with a link to our Mega Engine order form.
Keio Yugekitai is one of the two pack-in games for our Mega Engine machine, but is of course also available on its own. Keio Flying Squadron (as it was known in the west) beefs up its classic horizontal shoot’em up gameplay with a storyline told through FMV scenes and (unfortunately) a quite brutal difficulty curve – especially for players new to the genre.
Starting in mid-July 2021 all orders will include a free copy of Bishôjo Senshi Sailor Moon (in English) on Super CD-Rom². It’s a Digital Comic (or what you would call a Visual Novel these days) from 1994 with a story-arc exclusive to the game. Continue Reading
Our last hurrah for 2020 is a first look at our upcoming PC Engine CD and Mega CD player called Mega Engine. The unit presents an alternative to play your physical PC Engine and Mega / Sega CD titles on a modern setup.
Another year, another Black Friday sale! Starting today (11/25) and lasting till Saturday (December 5th), we’re happy to offer you between 25 and 40% discount on all our box sets released between 2014 and 2019. (our sale has now ended!) Continue Reading
NEC’s mid-90s Arcade Card upgrade to the PC Engine can certainly be considered a somehow ill-fated endeavour. Only a handful titles make good use of the whopping 20mbit of extra memory, while still remain worth playing to this date. Our new set compiles the four most interesting Arcade Card titles into one box.
Earlier this year we saw the release of the PC Engine Mini. While nothing for the serious PC Engine gamer, it makes a great collectible or a great gift for somebody you want to introduce to the PC Engine universe. Continue Reading
Originally released almost 12 years after the PC Engine’s release, Dead of the Brain 1&2 marks the very last official commercial release for our favorite console. The game collects both installments of the Cyberpunk / Zombie adventure series into a single game. Continue Reading
Starting in mid-august all orders will include a free copy of Final Match Tennis Ladies on Super CD-Rom². FMT is not only considered one of the best tennis games of all time to this very date, but also (along with Bomberman) one of the best multi-player titles on the PC Engine. Continue Reading
Great PCE-related products deserve your attention! Martin at Retro Game Restore (located in Taiwan) has produced fantastic looking PC Engine replacement shells. Have a look! Continue Reading
Corona is still affecting postal services around the globe. There are still some service limitations or suspensions in place to several countries all around the world. Here you can find an overview of what’s still causing problems. We will continue to update this thread accordingly. Continue Reading
Part of why the PC Engine system had such a cult following in the 80s was certainly Hudson’s and NEC’s engineering marvel called HuCard. While the format itself wasn’t really new, HuCards allowed for a much larger rom size compared to earlier card-based game formats – easily rivaling much larger game cartridges of the same time and thus combining state of the art game sizes with one hell of a sexy format. Continue Reading
As a little gimmick for all fans of the American TurboGrafx-16 and Turbo Duo library out there, we just stocked Camp California. Certainly one of the typically underrated platformers available for the system and originally exclusive to the US. Continue Reading
Welcome to our Cyber Week Sale 2019 (and let’s celebrate 5 years PCEWorks while we’re at it). Instead of joining the craze on just a single day, we’ll offer you great discounts for a whole week! (our sale has now ended…) Continue Reading

Our first new set for 2019 and in almost a year. And yes, the PC Engine’s library does indeed offer interesting titles that are not exclusively shoot’em ups, so we’re happy to introduce the second volume in our Action and Arcade line-up. Continue Reading
Starting this spring all orders will include a free copy of Bonk’s Adventure. This is the first adventure of Bonk (PC Genjin in japanese), soon-to-be mascot of the PC Engine. One of the most iconic jump’n’runs to come to the PC Engine. Continue Reading

Although VALIS wasn’t exclusive to the PCE by any means, the series just feels home on NEC’s 8-bit power house. This boxset compiles the four PCE entries to the series while adding the English versions of Valis II and III as well as the Japan-exclusive Visual Collection disc for a whopping 7 CDs in total. Continue Reading

At the end of this month our favorite video game console, the PC ENGINE will celebrate its 30th Anniversary. To commemorate this date, we’re having a BIG SALE running until October 29/30. (The sale is over.)
PC Engine setups are notorious for one thing: losing their saved data. The internal save banks on the interface units and inside the Duo systems are using capacitors to hold their data over time. So even back in the days not using your system for a year or so meant whispering goodbye to your save games. Continue Reading
This month’s double feature focuses on two of the most iconic PC ENGINE titles, SPLATTERHOUSE and MAGICAL CHASE. But instead of just aiming at the PCE renditions of these titles, we went beyond the scope of our regular presentations and created two neat little fan packages, that aren’t exclusively aimed at PCE users, but at fans of these two games in general.
And a new freebie for the upcoming summer: starting right away, all orders* will include a free copy of Alzadick: Summer Carnival ’92 (* limited to one per person). Continue Reading

While shoot’em up fans had some good times with our last boxset, let’s not forget that the PC Engine had a tremendous line up of really great titles of all varieties available. With our PUZZLE AND ACTION set, we focus on four great and unique titles, that shouldn’t be missing from any collection.
With the year coming to an end, we have two more PC Engine Memories boxsets for you to enjoy. SHOOTING LEGENDS containing Spriggan, Spriggan mark2, Steam Hearts and Nexzr (plus Nexzr Special) and MAHJONG DREAMS bringing you one of the rarest PCE titles in existence. Continue Reading

Before dedicing on a title or a packaging concept we usually survey a few dozen fans and collectors to see what’s doable and what’s requested. The result of one of these surveys is the Limited Edition Belmont Survival Kit.
With the release of our third caravan shoot’em up, we’re happy to annouce another contest! Continue Reading

Another caravan shoot’em up, another contest!
What’s a caravan shoot’em up good for, when there’s no contest along with it? Obviously we had to change something about that.
Available for shipping in late february, we offer a 3-game bundle including the Deluxe Editions of Xak III The Eternal Recurrence and Startling Odyssey II as well as the caravan shoot’em up Cycho Rider.
Available for shipping in late november, we’re proud to present our second PC Engine Memories boxset – this time labeled the Turbo Duo Edition.

To stay up to date, check your email inbox to make sure you’re properly subscribed. If you didn’t get a newsletter, but you think that you should have gotten one, get in touch to have […]
was the title of a german piece recently published by researchers of the institute for Jugendkulturforschung. It’s actually a very elegant description of what PC Engine collectors certainly represent. The closest English periphrasis would be something like “the vanguard of the analogue rebellion” or “les pionniers de la rébellion analogique” in French or “アナログ回帰への先駆者” in Japanese. […]
Each of the Limited Edition “PC Engine Memories” boxsets will come with an exclusive gold coin (well, not actually gold, but really shiny anyway and amazingly collectable!). The coin features Momotarou on its back. Some more close-up shots in the attached gallery.
To be launching in late September (of 2014), what you see above is a beautiful boxset containing four of the PCE’s most iconic titles coming out of Japan. The boxset is called the Best of Japan and included are Renny Blaster, Faussete Amour, Kaze Kiri Ninja Action and Sylphia. The set will first be available as a limited edition of a hundred pieces.
1st Posting :) Welcome to the PCEWorks info page! If you found this page, you’re obviously a fan of NEC’s sexy 1987 console system (which is a good thing already). The intention of this site is to show you what’s new from us. It doesn’t neccessarily mean, that what you see is still available, so […]
