Telenet Shooting Collection
Telenet was a prolific game developer in the late 1980s and early 1990s, beginning with computers and quickly transitioning into console development. Their focus was often on quantity over quality, with their games often featuring stellar cutscene artwork and excellent music, but typically lacking when it came to the actual game. Their most well-known work is the Valis series in its many incarnations, as well as action games like El Viento and RPGs like Cosmic Fantasy and Arcus. They also published a handful of shoot-em-ups, originally published for the Genesis/Mega Drive and PC Engine, four of which are collected here on the Telenet Shooting Collection. This collection was published by Edia, owner of Telenet’s IP, and crowdfunded on the Japanese site Makuake.

Got a 1CC on Marchën Maze (PC-Engine version)!
It's a cute Alice in Wonderland-themed action game. It's a top-down shooter where you blow bubbles at enemies and you jump from platform to platform, avoiding the rolling balls enemies shoot at you to knock you off the stage, which is the only way you actually lose a life in the game. Might sound very lenient, but you get no invulnerability frames after getting hit (meaning you can get hit multiple times in a row) and the knockback you receive from projectiles is so great, that you might want to interpret the vast majority of enemy bullets as 1-hit kills.
When I first played this game I wasn't sure I was even going to finish it, every new level meant getting stuck in it for an hour, losing lives left and right. I eventually beat it once (you have unlimited continues), but I wasn't too satisfied with just credit-feeding and using savestates to keep having access to level select, so I went to beat it again, and, it feels a lot easier to play the whole game over again once you know what's coming up ahead, and it's not like the game doesn't give you many extra lives... Eventually I nailed it down to a 2cc (2-credit/continue clear), so... I had to strive for a 1cc. And I finally got it! Phew!
Tips for anyone interested in trying to master the game, past this "Read More" as to not spoil anyone:
Scout levels for locations of power-ups and 1ups
You don't fall off the edge of platforms by walking, always remember that.
Some enemies respawn if you get them off-screen. Be aware which ones do that.
Firing off a bunch of uncharged projectiles is much more effective than charging a shot in most (but not all) situations. Charge shots are useful for sniping enemies safely from afar, as they kill pretty much any enemy in 1 hit, and they have longer reach than your non-fully-charged fire. However, due to the charge time, rapid-fire is much more useful when it comes to shooting on-the-fly or pretty much anywhen else - a lot of enemies die to one shot, anyway.
Do not try to kill green slime enemies, it's best if you just try to outrun them. Other slime enemies are fine.
Ice level has a power-up that stops you from slipping on ice. Get it and don't lose a life throughout the stage. Stage is easy if you have the power-up and will be a major pain in the ass if you don't.
Ice level has a 1up that only spawns if you backtrack, for some reason. Ice level bifurcates once, then both paths converge, then they bifurcate again. On the second bifurcation, take right all the way until both paths meet again, then backtrack, making sure to hug the top-left corners. There's going to be a 1up.
Take it slow on the river level, there's no power-ups or 1ups in the level, just focus on not dying and making sure you can cross safely.
Sky level has a speed-up and a jump-up power-up at the start that requires taking a different path for each. Get both power-ups, helps the rest of the stage immensely.
Take it incredibly slow on Mirror World, snipe every mirror from afar with charged shots, don't let them transform into Mirror Alices. Mirror Alices are incredibly annoying to deal with and are the only enemy in the game that shoots through gaps. Do NOT try to outrun them either, having more than one Mirror Alice on-screen is catastrophically BAD and they will not stop chasing you.
You need to take the green platform to progress through the level in Mirror World. Prepare your charge shots as the platform crosses over Mirror Alices, take them out before they can knock you off the platform. If you fall, that's OK, you just have to get to the platform again.
Final level has a platform with three 1ups. Always be on the lookout for a moving platform on the right, one of them will lead you to the 1ups. You will definitely need them.

A Guide to Japanese RPGs Reprint, plus PC Engine: The Box Art Collection now available!
A Guide to Japanese Role Playing Games is now back in print! Previous prints have sold out pretty quickly so grab it before it runs out and you’ll need to wait a few more months for it to get back in stock. But also!
PC Engine: The Box Art Collection is now available as well! I wrote this book too, which includes overviews of nearly 340 PC Engine games, along with a detailed history of the console. We’ve covered its incredibly diverse library, ranging from the usual PCE suspects like shoot-em-ups and RPGs, along with other more unusual titles like war strategy sims, adventure games, anime tie-ins, mahjong games, and plenty of others. There’s quite a bit here that doesn’t have much English coverage otherwise, so I hope you can learn something new and interesting alongside the box art and screenshots! Pictured above is my own personal copy, which is the limited edition featuring a slipcover and artwork by Wil Overton.
