PC Engine HU Card
Platform
Set in a Japanese flavoured hell like world, Tarosuke must try and find his way past spooky, limbless ghouls and angry devils to meet King Enma with nothing more for sustenance than hell rice bowls and steamed buns.
Famicom Cart
Shoot Em Up
Vertically scrolling shooter set in a land before time. Some very smart power ups available to turn your dragon from a look a like of Puff the Magic Dragon into a three headed fire breathing beast!
Famicom Cart
Action
The ghost AI remains as fierce some as ever. One to show your grandchildren as to why your reflexes have been shot through.
Mega Drive
Puzzle
Simple tile shuffling to clear the screen as the stack increases slowly to test your thinking and play screen. Each line cleared drops a bomb that clears tiles on the other side of the screen to reveal pixelated lady friends.
Famicom Cart
Board Game
A fine collectable and curio for the Famicom combining board game and video game in one very fine package. The attention to detail in the production is staggering as up to four players traverse the game world and board map simultaneously.
Famicom Cart
Platform
Brash colour scheme with chirpy gameplay to match the chipper colours. Perfectly suited to the hardware and Namcot really squeeze plenty out of the architecture both aurally and visually.
Super Famicom
Sports
In the distinct Namcot graphical style as seen in its tennis titles making Super Sumo very visually appealing. Nice to see a bit of artistic license too with head butts possible, though the purists may not approve.
Famicom Cart
Action
Stirring chip tunes with that famous film anthem sounding great as Luke negotiates tricky platform sections in a variety of sand and snow based lands, not made easier by dissolving platforms. Taking to the X Wing to take down Tie Fighters (nearly incurred the wrath of the Empire then by getting that mixed up!) Looks impressive in 3D before the vertically scrolling section take on the Death Star tunnels.
Famicom Cart
Platform
The striking colour scheme gives Wagan Land its distinctive look, but it works well with pad in hand in practise to keep the levels clear. A very enjoyable platform romp with the developer showing a firm grasp of the Famicom’s architecture.
Famicom Cart
Action
Plenty of tributes to its mighty back catalogue in game for the discerning gamer. Taking out tanks that appear in the maze means keeping a keen eye out for where they will appear, if in control of the skirmish. Otherwise it means grabbing those freeze power ups or blasting a whole in the maze to sit in, perhaps even behind camouflage.
Famicom Cart
Platform
Old school platform action executed with a dab hand with a fine game engine masked by the cutesy sprites. Keep an eye out for guests from Rolling Thunder in the mini games that add variety to the platform hopping and bopping.
Famicom Cart
Action
Popular sequel as players bravely explore the cavernous levels that hide dinosaurs besides the obvious dragon or two. Fast pace and looking very prim and pretty on the Famicom. Simple gaming pleasures as Namco has a flair for.
Famicom Cart
Action
Classic title from a golden era of gaming where players take on the role of knight tasked with clearing mazes. Set apart by Namcot’s flair for appealing sprite graphics and some fine gameplay blending quick thinking and fast pacing to create a title as loved today in updates such as this and on virtual consoles.
Mega Drive
Puzzle
Unusual action puzzle title where players must use robotic arms to grab balls from your opponent that cascade down the screen. Frantic at times especially as the count down reaches zero.
Famicom Cart
RPG
Kaijyu are the huge monsters, the likes of which give Godzilla a tough time. And with a title that translates as Monster Story, there are plenty to battle in this action RPG, all very nicely drawn on the fine Famicom.
Super Famicom
Action
Players observe Pacman going about his daily routine and must help him by firing a catapult to prevent, for example, a cat pinching his hot-dog or the toilet door whacking him in the face. Good, clean fun.
PC Engine HU Card
Platform
Like many sequels, Genpei further raised the stakes with bigger sprites and clearer sound effects. Yet a high difficulty level left many warming more to the prequel. A fine piece of Namcot programming though for the harder core. Also known as ‘Samurai Ghost 2.’
Famicom Cart
Sports
Never a dull moment with players such as Cupid having a game on a court in space. Players also have very varied shot repertoires adding to the novelty of the colourful and varied courts.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Uber chic packaging in the form of the Famicom release front cover and including various ditties from the timeless run and gun classic.
Super Famicom
One on One Beat Em Up
A one on one fighter that seems to take the fireballs of DragonBall Z, the speed kicks of Chun Li, the humour of Ranma, the dragon attack from World Heroes and still manages to fight its own battles with nice touches such as background damage being sustained by powerful specials. Interesting characters and well executed, balanced bouts.
Super Famicom
Platform
Pac Man is nicely rendered in 3D form as he romps around the levels collecting Pac pills. His versatility comes to the fore as he swings around levels and swims to the depths to get that hidden pill.
Super Famicom
Simulation
Based on the massive anime series, this rare fighter takes on a first person perspective a la Super Spy. Excellent use of the license taking the intriguing characters of Yu Yu’s spooky world and almost bringing them to life.
Famicom Cart
Platform
Cheerful chip tunes and big, bold sprites, plus the character of Kai ensure this is a well treasured Famicom title. Collecting keys and potions, avoiding fire breathing dragons and escape to the door out of the level by the skin of your teeth are the order of the day. Translates as Kai’s adventure. Also known as The Quest of Ki.
PC Engine HU Card
Shoot Em Up
Pilot the winged ship that can launch a fire phoenix attack and is also equipped with a smart bomb attack, but that loses all your power ups. Varied stages including over the surface of a planet, space ship and through a pyramid. Quite challenging too as the game engine seems to up the difficulty ante depending on how many power ups you have remaining at the end of the stage.
Super Famicom
Platform
The Super Famicom has more platformers than commuters on the Yamanote Line first thing but this true classic platformer stands head and shoulders above the rest like an NBA player on the same train. Xandra is on a mission through the mystical land of Valkyrie to get medicine for his sick son. The main character looks like a green jelly baby but some of the gameplay is so ingenious and fresh, even after so many platform releases on the SFC. Tragically overlooked in the West. Xandra carries a tiger fork with which to attack enemies, but remains vulnerable if it gets stuck in the ground causing frantic panic to unwedge it. The star level is particularly remarkable as the platforms appear and disappear from view in a Tanabata inspired journey through the stars. This is the pure essence of gameplay that endeared fans to the format and many still wander the gaming scene in search of a return to such heady days. Bravo Namcot.
Super Famicom
Sports
Taken from the J League in its prime, Namcot blend a zippy, arcade style football game with some crazy cut scenes as players must outwit their opponent and nick the ball past them.
Super Famicom
Shooter
Dog fighting shooter game with pilots having to hunt down opponents as well as having to drop bombs on ground targets. Namcot sets the historic dog fight setting well and implements mode 7 to great effect.
Famicom Cart
Shoot Em Up
The Famicom’s answer to Star Wars as pilots take a cockpit view of this shooter to take down a suspiciously familiar looking man-made star. A simple cursor approach with a radar, but due to a lack of license, you’ll have to hum your own theme tune as you take down the enemy hordes.
PC Engine HU Card
Sports
Horse racing title realised in the loveable Namcot style as seen in World Court Tennis with petit, detailed cartoony sprites. Get your thoroughbred to jump at the right time whilst picking up a handy power up to make that spurt for the finish line.
Super Famicom
Simulation
Combat simulation with more missiles than a rogue state where players set up their defences and then send in the mechas for some nice action sequences. Plenty of appropriate military pomp to the music. Known as Metal Marines in the West.
Super Famicom
Sports
The triple A presentation you might expect from a Namcot sports title with twinkle eyed caddy to lead you by the hand through the club choices. The gaming engine is very smooth too making it a pleasure to stroll the fairways, almost feeling the sun on your back with the birds tweeting away.
PC Engine HU Card
Sports
Tests the drivers concentration as the break neck speed employed by the programmers ensures its essential to keep a beady eye on the hints as to which corner comes next. Very nice celebratory scene in reaching the podium, for those who appreciate their sprites.
Famicom Cart
Action
Quick thinking is a requisite as the floor shifts into different tiles meaning new, jelly baby like enemies warping in or players sliding helplessly across the level. Thankfully sonic booms style attacks can ward of the interest of the on screen adversaries, at least for a temporary respite, in the quest to clear the screen. Known as Mendel Palace in the West.
Famicom Cart
RPG
Shaolin style RPG as players journey through ancient China with plenty to chances to kick and punch, as the title translates. Many bouts ensue, however they all start with a bow. Respectful gaming tranquillity in a quiet corner of the Famicom.
Famicom Cart
Action
Players bop opponents utilising their martial skills in this ancient Chinese themed action title to try and clear the screen. Plenty of cliches in the hatchet men who attack and backgrounds, but it has its own style as such. Fun bonus levels too.
Famicom Cart
Action
Builds on the classic tunnel digging coin op cracker by this time using a harpoon to lance adversaries before bizarrely pumping them up. Players must be wary of the terrain collapsing around them though: no doubt due to too much tunnelling below. Got to keep on pumping it up: I like it.
Famicom Cart
Action
The sort of title that works a treat as Nyamcot (as the cat crooks of the game would say) brings its vintage arcade formula to the Famicom. Players star as a wee mouse that must retrieve stolen goods from the platform levels with the help of trampolines from the bad cats. Pairing up hot goods results in a higher score and adds an extra tactical dimension to the gameplay. A real cult classic.
Famicom Cart
Shoot Em Up
Vertically scrolling shooter but requires you to keep an eye on the ground with a bomb option too. Distinctive graphical style works well on the Famicom.
Famicom Cart
Platform
Set in a Japanese flavoured hell like world, Tarosuke must try and find his way past spooky, limbless ghouls and angry devils to meet King Enma with nothing more for sustenance than hell rice bowls and steamed buns.
Super Famicom
Platform
With an unlikely looking hero in the shape of a small crocodile and dinosaur look a like, players fire the katakana sound ‘Gya’ out of their mouths to stop crabs and octopuses attacking. Plenty of Japanese zaniness in the appearance of lucky cats and a quick bonus game of bingo.
Super Famicom
Platform
Fun and colourful platforming escapades. Genki particular holds a flame to the level which zooms out making the platforms look smaller so the speed players can zip through. Plenty of challenges from some unusual ghosts and animals including random game of snap help the series humour shine through.
Super Famicom

Game Gear
Sports
Reminiscent of World Stadium on the C64 if that doesn’t give away Genki as a bit of a veteran with less hair than Sir Clive Sinclair. Covers all bases with aplomb.
Famicom Cart
Sports
Known as RBI Baseball across the pond, this sports slugger certainly covers all bases with some nice touches such as the homerun fireworks. But the secret of Moneyball is not the big slugs, but the percentages.
Famicom Cart
Sports
Known as RBI Baseball 3 in the US of A. And you can almost smell the corn dogs and popcorn. Just ensure any catches are left to the players and not the crowd reaching over the barriers as happened in one crucial match we would hate to remind the culprit of…
Super Famicom
Sports
Known as Super Batter Up in the West, but in Genkis humble opinion looks far better with the Homepride Flour, Fred style Japanese graphics. Bases loaded and this representation of the sport covers all bases.
Super Famicom
Sports
Popular baseball series which evolved with every update making it familiar and yet progressive to fans of Famistar. Manages to recreate the good feel of the crack when batters whack that home run onto some poor chap enjoying his hot dog in the crowd.
Mega Drive
Sports
Nice into the screen quad bike race game from coin op veterans Namcot. Good mud effects and variation in height of terrain to keep players glued to their bikes. And quite a selection of bikes to choose from such as Red Devil, Green Monster and Blue Thunder. Also known as Quad Challenge.
Super Famicom
Sports
Four fine footballing games in the shape of J League Super Soccer, J League Excite Stage 95, J League Prime Goal and J League Prime Goal 2. Excite Stage is a side perspective football game with top tier teams and PK mode seen from both keepers and strikers perspective. Fabulous four player scraps are possible with a multitap and the game is also Barcode Battler II compatible, so get scanning those cans of Baked Beans. A great addition to a value package.
Super Famicom
Sports
The abbreviated name comes from Family Stadium and Namco have embellished their fine baseball series with plenty of gameplay aspects to make it accessible to all. Much loved in its many incarnations on both the Super Famicom and the Famicom previous to that.
Game Gear
Simulation
Travel Japan racking up the mahjong tiles for a game of the ancient Chinese table game. Smoothly presented with some nice graphical sugar to wash down the serious business of the game.
Mega Drive
Sports
Conversion of the popular Japan exclusive, early nineties coin op in which players get to focus on pitching and batting the baseball and the fielding is kindly taken care of by the rest of the CPU controlled team.
PC Engine HU Card
Platform
Set in a Japanese flavoured hell like world, Tarosuke must try and find his way past spooky, limbless ghouls and angry devils to meet King Enma with nothing more for sustenance than hell rice bowls and steamed buns.
Super Famicom
Sports
Overhead Formula One racer that uses the Namcot flair for cartoony graphics to add plenty of colour and the all important emotion to the package. The attention to detail makes this feel far much more fun than the sum of the parts may suggest.
