Super Famicom
Platform
Rockman represents a pre-Beckham era when gamers were gamers and men were men. And Rockman is a real man: despite his diminutive appearance the level of obstacles in his way put him up there with Arthur in Ghouls and Ghosts in terms of tough nuts. Sprinting along collapsing platforms and getting stuck into the latest despot to block his path without so much as a sigh. Rockman, we salute you.
Super Famicom
Side Scrolling Beat Em Up
If you can get over the eighties glam look, Rushing Beat has some fine, frantic fighting action plus two player mode that Final Fight initially lacked. Includes the full intro that was inexplicably removed from the Western incarnations.
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
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.
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.
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.
Famicom Disk System
Action
A superb Nihon centric title as our hero (looking like a Shaolin priest) launches a series of slight of foot attacks: leaping ninja like between tile like platforms and dispatching fireballs in the direction of silent assassin adversaries. Plenty of hidden power ups to give a welcome boost to the quest that has a mystic, Buddhist feel to proceedings. Certainly the giant statue head has a oriental look: but dont admire for too long as its tongue comes out and it jumps around the screen. Known by its full title of Meiwaku Jiin Dababa.
Famicom Cart
Action
Classic Nintendo gameplay as the player floats higher and higher on screen to float past the obstacles, but the perpetual motion makes control a distinct art: knowing when to drop anchor and when to float like a bee.
Sega Saturn
Action
Sega farmed out the work for Sonic R, but you’d do well to tell as it seems to have been programmed with an inside out knowledge of the Saturn hardware such are the stunning effects in this 3D racing title that positively flies along. Collect the rings as you go but enjoy the ride and fine scenery too.
Spine sun faded.
Sega Saturn
Action
Utilising the Titan technology making for a smooth home transition of ‘Die Hard Arcade’. Gradually battle your way up the skyscraper to rescue the president’s daughter with the help of some smart weaponry along the way including bazookas. A refreshingly good tie in with unrelenting pace.
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
The Sim series reached a crescendo here with Bullfrogs baby blending an accessible interface with incredible attention to detail. Genki struggles to consider the complexity of the algorithms that must be going on as every little tweak such as to the transport system seems to have a knock on effect. The appearance of Sonic ensures it doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Famicom Cart
Platform
Happy days as the young dragon hunter delves deep into underground caverns to seek out dragons. Sadly this game is from an era when dragons couldn’t be tamed and as such some sharp steel must be used to prod them into line. Namco really hits its straps in such titles and delivers a fine gaming experience with aplomb.
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.
Gamecube
Puzzle
Compilation of three of the finest puzzlers to come out of Kyoto: Dr. Mario, Yoshi’s Cookie and the lesser known Panel De Pon. Remixed soundtracks, crisp, easily distinguished graphics with nice, retro sound effects. Whilst most veteran gamers will be familiar with the other two, Panel De Pon is possibly the unsung hero of the collection with tiles being switched around to clear lines in time honoured tradition. Simple, yet deadly addictive.
Gamecube
Action
Superb update of the N64 version in which you battle robots but can also customise the main body, legs, gun, bomb and special weapon to last longer. Easy to see why this game was so popular in Japan with some light RPG elements to distract from the heavy metal fights. Quite collectable too on the format.
Gamecube
Shooter
Fox is unleashed to utilise his firepower on foot in this 3D blast. Or should that be on paw? Nintendo pace it well and the dramatic scenes have lashings of their triple A fairy dust. Plenty of interjections from General Pepper and Fox’s pals.
Gamecube
A Bit Special
Something rather special from the Big N: an evolutionary title leading the way as ever. The goal is to become the animal leader by evolving into a beast with the ability to take on and defeat the current leader. To do this you have to attack other animals of the right sort required – a successful assault will allow you to evolve up the evolutionary scale. Yet progress comes at the price of being a bigger fish, so to speak, and catching the eye of the other predators out there. Appropriate music and even purple blood add to the emotional involvement of protecting your animal. Beautifully designed gaming world made entirely of cubes adding to the surreal feel of this off beat Nintendo cracker.
Famicom Cart
Platform
The game has nice, solid sprites and slick anime cut scenes to reward the gamer for the tricky platform sections.
GameBoy Advance
Puzzle
Bumper pack for puzzle devotees with the Famicom classic Dr. Mario making a welcomed comeback. Viruses must be wiped out by aligning them with the correctly colour coded vitamin pill. Simple premise but it soon generates sweaty palm syndrome and prickly heat that even the good Doctor Mario would have trouble curing. Panel de Pon is from the crafters of Advance Wars and is also known as Puzzle League. In a similar vein, lines must be matched up but blocks can only be shifted horizontally. There are additional modes of play making this a deviously delightful package for the puzzle minded player. Just take Dr Mario’s advice and stop playing when you start seeing viruses and vitamins that aren’t there.
GameBoy Advance
RPG
Such a poignant part of the series it was released as a disk for the PS2 in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix Plus. The dream combi of Square Enix and Disney make for a fabulous RPG and the results look equally stunning on the small screen or on the GBA Player.
