Watching videos of Shubibinman 2, I think constantly hearing a high-pitched SHUBI BEEEEAM would drive me craze, especially in a system known for its over-loud sound effects. Maybe you have a different experience?

So what do people like more - the HuCard library or the CD library? Obviously, there are 10/10 games in both formats, but I flip flop on what I consider a stronger overall library. Despite some great hits on CD, it feels like the system was losing steam in the later days where you see nothing but digital comics, mahjong, and dating games.

Pic related is a surprisingly good CD game - a clone of Bubble Bobble, but with its own charm all the same (and some nice boss fights). Even more surprising is that it's good and it was -made- by Telenet. Like, what are the odds?

The Towns version does look better; I was talking solely about the execrable PC Engine port. I hear G2 is supposed to be better but I wouldn't know.

Good story though with Wolf Team/Telenet/J-Force. A company that churned out games like Telenet probably wasn't the best work environment.

But on topic on both counts: Pop'n Magic is lots of fun! Lacks the tightness of Bubble Bobble but is very charming and accessible.

I think they're better off than Jaleco, at least, who in their entire history never made a good game.
