Playstation
Action
Nicely themed action title taking the player through various eras including prehistoric (armed with clubs), feudal Japan (complete with obligatory throwing stars and samurai swords), the wild West, The American Civil War, the Roman Empire and also into the future. Each era is well represented and adds to the shifting diversity. Time is the essence and a meter gradually decreases throughout the game – only collecting power ups can replenish it.
PS2
Shoot Em Up
Combines two releases together of Psyvariar Medium Unit and Psyvariar Revision on this bumper disk. The original conversion of Medium Unit was most welcomed by shooter starved PS2 gamers. Introduced the much vaunted ‘buzz’ system where bullets can be deflected away by the ships wings to boost scoring and powering up the ship. As such it is only the core element of the ship which can be destroyed encouraging you to dice a little more. Revision mproves on the prequels visuals crisping them up as well as adding the multiple buzz system where bullets can be deflected more than once to power up more quickly. With the danger area on your ship that needs protecting smaller than in previous incarnations you can take greater chances and really get involved in some serious projectile patterns. Such ferocious volleys of bullets cause some psychedelic patterns looking great with the lights down low and the stereo rigged up to the trancey soundtrack.
PS2
Action
Looking like a tribute to the mighty Jet Set Radio is a compliment indeed with super fly, fresh, cel shaded graphics full of garish colours and free form surrounds to skate or die for. Comes with a finger board attachment for the Dual Shock to make the skate moves players pull off all the more sweetly rewarding. A quirky skate title that stand out from the crowd and Koei should be applauded for that. Also known as Yanya Caballista City Skater.
Gamecube
A Bit Special
Subtitled ‘A Wonderful Life’, Genki would rather not be running around after the horses, chicken and sheep everyday in this farm management game. Still the prospect of golden eggs helped Genki out of bed at the break of dawn. Freedom to visit others in town including the archaeologist, barmaid and little tree people (only after eating a special mushroom.) Miyamoto san would be proud. Highly original.
PC Engine CD ROM
A Bit Special
PC Engine CD ROM magazine loaded with features making it an intriguing collectable. Features a love simulator, original RPG, some smooth anime along with an art gallery.
Dreamcast
RPG
One of the Saturn’s finest RPGs (which is more than sufficient recommendation given the plethora of on the system) gets a Dreamcast update. Painstakingly detailed towns to explore in this ‘Skies of Arcadia’ style RPG.
Game Gear
Sports
Whilst not always obeying the laws of physics, Super Monaco 2 has some fine circuits to hone the drivers handling skills, even if its firmly arcade in its approach. Includes the World GP with its mighty challenge to make sure its you spraying the champagne, not down in the pits.
GameBoy Advance
RPG
Take contol of the funky Jiisan (or middle age man) in this off beat action RPG quest to find the missing manga in which our main man can transform into fourteen different and comical Jiisan variations. Captures the madness of the manga excellently. Four player link up play possible. Subtitled ‘Ikari no Oshioki Blues.’
GameBoy Advance
RPG
Playable as Gash, some familiar faces from the anime series pop up along the way including Megumi and Folgore. Lavishly illustrated as you’d expect from an anime license and suiting the GBA perfectly, Gash can collect bookmark power ups to be used later to battle the big bosses awaiting.
Playstation
Platform
A compilation of mini games all tied together by the pretext of Rocky and Hopper being private detectives trying to rescue Pinkyfs cat from the mad scientist poodle. The mini games include frantically dialling phone numbers as quickly as possible, games of snap with animal sounds requiring pairing up, bursting balloons, taking aim at a shooting gallery, a game of escalating simple simon and even gobbling up as much popcorn as possible from an out of control popcorn maker. As with most mini game compilations multiplayer is where it comes into its own. But the premise of unlocking some bizarre penguin adverts should hopefully be ample motivation for most gamers.
XBOX 360
One on One Beat Em Up
Despite the fine backdrops such as the intriguing, if not slightly stereotyped, Chinese market in a nod to a Chinese fighting lady in a title that slips my mind; the core gameplay remains true to the combo hungry spirit of the SNK original. The fighters look mightily impressive and move with a fluidity befitting such well honed martial artists, but the true artistry in is the eye of the creator here.
Super Famicom
RPG
Certainly bizarre as players pick a card and go through a sim style battle with a rich wealth of characters that wouldnt look out of place in the mystic field on day three of Glastonbury. Colourful and true to the unusual source material.
Nintendo 64
Sports
Suitably whiny engines and plenty of sparks both visually and literally as the N64 gets a challenging work out and handles it without breaking sweat. The starting line up being displayed is a nice touch (with plenty more attention to detail in the anchor lights) and the essential speed makes the cut to appease fans of the series with little time to admire the sponsors signs, bridges or grandstand.
GameBoy Advance
Simulation
Based more on the Rockman Exe Anime series than any other previous Mega Man game, progress rewards the player with new armour and chips are collected from defeated foe. Plenty of exciting material for fans of the little Mega Man.
Sega Saturn
RPG
Solve the riddle of the mystery virus running rife through the hospital in this (dare we type it) FMV based adventure.
Dreamcast
Simulation
A plethora of zany mini games based on the various Bikkuriman characters. Not the most cerebral title, but plenty of frolics on offer if party game complations float your gaming boat.
PS2
One on One Beat Em Up
Based on the anime exploits of a school student who visits a wonderful land in his sleep whilst spending his days playing RPG games when not at school. (Marchen is German for ‘fairy tale.’) Yet in this enchanted land our young protege finds his strength massively increased – a good job considering this is a fight fest. Graphics are beautifully cel shaded and the gameplay reaches the mighty plateau you’d expect from high riding Konami.
PS2
Rhythm
The Para Para dance craze swept Japan like the cherry blossom front with deeply tanned girls and bleached blond boys tossing about there limbs in the clubs from Shibuya to Sekijo. The game involves flicking out arms and legs in time to the beat and onscreen prompt proving a fine work out and building up a fine ability to para para!
Playstation
Shoot Em Up
Arcade classics 1942, 1943 and 1943 Kai on the one CD which is great to see as, aside from the 1941 Super Grafx conversion, until this release the home versions had been a tad disappointing. Thankfully Capcom’s back catalogue is well worth cashing in on. This particular version comes with a splendid art book detailing enemy planes from the games.
Super Famicom
Platform
Colourful, innocent platforming romp from the rink dink panther. Nice pacing and theme to the levels with plenty of power ups and comic twists to keep interest.
PS3
Action
Immortalised by the line ‘You are already dead’ and Kenshiro’s lightning fast attacks, the post-apocalyptic world of North Star was one of the first animes released in the West. Think of a cartoon Mad Max where you meet adversaries and more often than not, their heads explode. Koei gets nasty and heads roll with their multi character mechanics working a treat in a top, top license.
