PS2
A Bit Special
Super gal Haruhi once again stars with a voice to melt the Cadbury’s Caramel bunny in this love adventure where players also get to make their own game. Superb high standards to the figure that comes as part of the package too matching the voice acting.
XBOX
Sports
Brutal cage fighting as the solid fighters go toe to toe with a crowd baying for blood. The pugilists are heavy and the blows they land have a solid feel to them, enough to induce the odd wince off screen too as Capcom ticks all the boxes on this official license.
PS2
RPG
Whilst it definitely dances to its own strategy system, those adventurous grey importers will find plenty to celebrate here with its dramatic story and colourful characters.
Famicom Cart
Action
A single screen action title with a bird as star character that looks like he has been moonlighting in New Zealand Story. Taito excels in such games and its full of plenty of wholesome, good, clean gameplay.
Merchandise
Magazine
Multi format magazine famed in Japan with reviews that can make or break a game. Covers many bases with a look at gaming soundtracks perhaps of interest to Genki’s conscientious gamers. The adverts look very eye catching too.
Dreamcast
A Bit Special
A trial of Cool Boarders, plus interviews with Capcom chief and Atlus Maken X expert. VMU data for Kanipan, the ubiquitous present and introductions to Shenmue, Soul Calibur, Espionagents amongst others. Nice collectable for the Dreamcast devotee.
Figures
Figure
Plastic model for self assembly based on the popular Youkai Watch series from Japan which draws on Japan’s rich heritage of ghosts. The sticker sheet adds plenty of character to the finished model.
PS2
One on One Beat Em Up
Update of the fine fight fest from the Dreamcast school of kung-fu comes a simultaneous four player update with PS2 exclusive characters and a survival mode. The mighty multiplayer match-ups also allow for three on one battles where the combos and throws really come into their own with a dedicated turn button for when the opponent gets too close for comfort. Guity Gear Isuka also utilises additional planes of fighting like Fatal Fury did previously to ensure the screen doesn’t get too cramped. But the real icing on the cake is the side scrolling beat ’em up complete with mean bosses and the ability to unleash special moves.
PS2
RPG
Capcom utilises its cel shaded sprites for the gaming world and combat giving this a retro chic feel to the fabulous looking battles complete with obligatory, over-the-top, outlandish special moves. Looks like a retro Ghibli anime.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Could the Saturn have beaten the Playstation had this release been the version ‘Remix’ was? Still sold by the bucketload. AM2 flexing it’s Naomi board porting muscles.

Nintendo DS
Action
Brings the vibrancy and speed lines of the manga alive on the DS as it socks a real punch in its platform fight action. Relentless battle action, full of well-known characters from the world-famous manga books.
Super Famicom
Sports
Futuristic Super Famicom classic with jumps, power boosts and plenty of mad machines such as Hot Violet, Stingray and Crazy Horse making it a great gaming universe.
Super Famicom
Sports
Nothing too flash: the Willy Thorne of the pool genre. Not that it doesn’t dazzle at times and its not just the glare off the hot spot, but the fine ball mechanics and presentation. A very accomplished Super Famicom table game.
Sega Saturn
Puzzle
Clear the screen of coloured blocks by detonating them in chains to reveal the picture behind capturing various cityscapes and world-famous locales. Tactical thinking is required to generate the right chains and clear the screen. Strangely compelling.
GameBoy Advance
Platform
Very tidy little romp with the usual higher level of experimentation as is often found in the Wario titles, opposed to the Mario variants. Great fun with plenty of unexpected twists and a high replay value with hidden areas to explore. Nintendo didn’t risk its more infamous license with its initial GBA release in the platforming series, but the Kyoto companys cards came up trumps anyway. Known in the West as Wario Land 4.
Famicom Cart
RPG
Dragon Quest requires face-to-face encounters with spooky looking tree monsters and mean looking moles alongside chewing the cud with the local shopkeepers to glean essential info. The text is written in hiragana to give language learners plenty of chances to sample conversational Japanese, albeit in a video game. Also a tidy addition for the collectors with luscious box art. Known as Dragon Warrior IV.
Super Famicom
One on One Beat Em Up
Conan style fight fest with plenty of swords, axes and scantily clad ladies to battle against. Sammy has a good arcade heritage and the mechanics see that it shines through here.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Many believe this should have been released with the Saturn instead of the original version of Virtua Fighter. Yet the pressure of hardware release deadlines meant that the somewhat rushed VF came out first and this superior VF Remix a few months later. This is the original print run – identicle to the second print apart from having the ‘Special Limited Edition’ label on the front cover.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Footage, sound clips, mini games and merchanising that was wowing gamers back in the Tokyo 97 game show. Players collect cards for their files and each card reveals some fine footage from the epoch defining anime series.

Sequel in the no hold barred hit series. Improved game modes include the ‘Excite’ and ‘World Champion’ Series as well as the sixteen player ‘Super Tournament’ and ‘Elimination Match’.
PC Engine HU Card
Sports
First in the long running Power League baseball series from big hitting Hudson Soft.
PC Engine HU Card
Simulation
Very enjoyable and popular war sim in a futuristic style with hex based on screen representation of your army nicely presented. Best savoured in two player where the battle to take down an opponents base can get quite heated.
PS2
Shooter
Gungrave Overdose proves you can’t have too much of a good thing with its overhead third person perspective adding to the gameplay and adrenalin. Not that it need cranking up: the tension is high from the very off with the introduction. The story is full oof twists and intrigue – not that there’s much need to ponder it. Top end (Red) Entertainment.
PS2
Sports
Fits into the under populated water sports genre featuring dinghy and kayak rides through Canada, France, New Zealand… The water physics are incredible and the unique control method of rotating the dual shocks works a treat. The translucent water effect looks amazing and the bird song and scenery mean all that’s missing is the spray in the face. Known in the West as Wild Water Adrenaline.

Playstation
Puzzle
Highly original puzzler from Sony where you must throw dice to clear the board. Simple, but painfully addictive as all good puzzlers should be. Also known as Devil Dice.

Delightful way to leave a note for someone, or even a reminder for oneself in Genki’s case. The Dragon Quest characters never looked so good as in these metal clips.

Crazy chaos as Crash hits the road and lives up to his name as racers spin and bump around the locales with multiplayer mayhem a real treat.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Continues on similar lines to the Evangelion prequel as players get to savour some sublime footage from the series before choosing a course of action. This time the cut scenes are in full 3D capturing the intensity of the mecha anime.
Nintendo 64
Platform
Beautiful 3D platform game with Kirby coming into his own and very much the star of the show wielding flaming swords, tossing bombs into enemy territory and even turning into a rather mean looking rock clad Kirby. A classic series given a fitting tribute on the 64 with some stunning touches such as the flame effects and gorgeous backgrounds.
Nintendo 64
Platform
Rare’s values shine through as virtuously as Nintendo’s in its quest to distil pure, gaming fun. And the partnership between the two was never as bosom buddy as it was on the Nintendo 64. Few can match Nintendo’s eye for detail, but Rare have savoured the gaming moment with this fine action title.
Nintendo 64
Action
Bomberman freed from his maze confines and tossing bombs around like confetti to reveal hidden items or take down opponents. Players must negotiate the 3D courses utilising switches and other secrets to progress. Ambitious change in direction from Hudson and with a fine graphical look reminiscent of Mario 64 in parts.
Nintendo 64
A Bit Special
Amazingly recreates the feel of flying through the sky be it on the rocket belt or gyrocopter flying through hoops or chasing the thermals to stay up in the hangglider to get a better photo of a whale. Packed full of ideas – a breath of fresh air to the games industry.
