I've been mining PC Engine CD lately (basically doing *anything* besides working the Virtua Fighter article...) and man there is just tons of wacky stuff on these discs.
Here's an interesting one: Quiz Avenue III has *two* nearly complete but still different builds of Bonk's Revenge (yes, specifically the USA version) in unused space on the disc. This version of the game was made for CD (though it otherwise a direct port ofthe PCE version) and was used on the TurboDuo pack-in "4 in 1 Super CD" in the USA.
Aside from missing the actual Bonk graphics (which can be restored from the final version), both revisions on the Quiz Avenue 3 disc play fine, though there are some minor code differences suggesting they are prerelease builds that we're still looking into.
Oh also there's a debug menu in this CD version of Bonk's Revenge, both in the "prerelease" versions and the final release. Not sure if this was already found (probably).
Shinobi PC-Engine Arcade restoration work is coming along, check out the progress below, including the SGX version, it will come as one cart and will detect when connected to a SuperGrafx, hope you like the intros :)

Another Snatcher PC Engine CD English translation??
Translation on this one was done by NintendoComplete.
He mentions at least some Claude use for some technical stuff though.

I'm pretty sure this is AI assisted, because TruMisery's other translations are, but I didn't notice it mentioned in the description
