Game Gear
Side Scrolling Beat Em Up
Brilliant mini version of its Genesis big brother. Multiplayer link up, special moves for the characters, the addition of extra levels (and keeping the bike, knife and pipe weapons) plus lavishly detailed sprites add up to make an excellent pocket game that packs quite a punch. Known in the West as Streets of Rage 2.
Game Gear
Side Scrolling Beat Em Up
Known as Streets of Rage in the West, this cheesy side scrolling scrapper obeys the first rule of Double Dragon in including a multitude of weaponry to dispatch enemies with and also includes the second rule in that its fun to be able to set about roughing up your partner. As such it avoids the trap Final Fight fell into in ignoring the two player mode – thankfully you can stand shoulder to shoulder against the street scum in Bare Knuckle. The start of a sublime series on the mini Game Gear.
GameBoy Original
Shooter
A similar title to Kikikaikai with its scrolling shooting action, Shinto priestess and many references to Japan of old in lanterns, Oni bosses and hopping, one eyed umbrellas. In the GB game however the action is force scrolled along, but this is a fine little blast for fans of a Japanese flavoured broth with many varied ingredients thrown into the stock.
Mega Drive
Shoot Em Up
With only 5,000 copies of the original print rumoured to be in circulation, this is one of the rarer titles for the Mega Drive and the price in Japan of the original often reflects this. Not merely collectable for its low print run though – its the finest shooter on the Mega Drive. The heroine of the title is a witch named Cotton, on a mission to find out why all the sweets have been poisoned. But it times it may seem like Cotton has had a strong dose of dental gas, such are the colourful, almost psychedelic nature of the graphics with genre defining effects. Smashing bosses, clean, creative anime cut scenes, original ‘chase view’ perspective, yet true to its title with free movement – this title is the best example of what the Mega Drive architecture can produce. Michelangelo would surely approve. Thankfully collectors can now own it and not just watch the original with tea cup on Antiques Roadshow.
