Shockman 2: A New Enemy
pceAction
Shockman 2: A New Enemy is a side-scrolling action game developed by Winds and published by Masaya for the PC Engine. It follows the enhanced heroes Tasuke and Kyapiko as they confront a new invasion threatening their city. The game combines platforming, close-range combat, projectile attacks, and boss battles, with support for one or two players. Its colorful presentation and fast, straightforward action reflect early-1990s Japanese console design. The game is especially notable for expanding the original Shubibinman formula with more varied stages and a stronger cooperative focus, although its challenge and collision-heavy combat can feel demanding.

Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman is a Japanese action platformer developed by NCS and published by Masaya for the PC Engine in 1989. Players control one of two electrically enhanced heroes defending their town from an alien invasion. The game combines side-scrolling platforming with close-range combat, giving each stage a steady rhythm of jumping, attacking, and avoiding hazards. Its short stages, two-player support, and straightforward controls make it approachable, while enemy placement and boss encounters provide most of the challenge. The game received several sequels and became the foundation of a recognizable PC Engine action series, although it remained less widely known outside Japan.
