Famicom Cart
Side Scrolling Beat Em Up
Captures a combination of East meets West besides its eighties glam to live long in the memory. Players can select the rotund Mr Chin or perhaps to tackle the boss as the ninja and give our Billy a well earned rest. In pursuit of the Rosetta Stone with more headlocks than a WWF meet.
Famicom Cart
Platform
One of those Japanese titles which never has even heard of the term mass market and goes out to please its native audience. As such its levels look superb with Mount Fuji and Hiroshige style clouds in the background as Oniisan (older brother) jumps over toori gates and avoids mini samurai in the platform sections.
Famicom Cart
Shoot Em Up
Highly impressive dog fight game which convinces of depth very well as you lead your squadron into the screen. The cloud formation and perspective combine very cleverly and give a real sense of motion. A beady eye must also be kept on the sea in order to drop a skimming bomb into enemy vessels to give them a few problems to deal with rather than taking pop shots at your fighter plane.
PS2
One on One Beat Em Up
Yusuke was always a tough lad at school having had a rough upbringing before he was killed saving a child at fourteen. He then enters the spirit world where he can thankfully carry on dishing out beatings as in this fight fest brought from the skilled art house of Banpresto. Reminiscent of Bleach in terms of artistic style, the series’ characters come to life on the PS2.
Famicom Cart
Shoot Em Up
Lushly pastel shaded vertically scrolling shoot ’em up from the reliable Konami stable. Off – shoot of the Gradius and Parodius series. Shooter heads may find its frivolous gameplay a little easy, but everyone will enjoy the ride.
Famicom Cart
Sports
Zippy race game from Konami’s arcade roster with very impressive speeds. Sharp reflexes are required to avoid traffic, oil clicks, bikes that seem to target your car, whilst still trying to collect bonuses. Delays will prevent the players car getting to the check point in time.
Famicom Cart
Action
Astro Robo has its own USP in that Sasa utilises its gun to manoeuvre round the screen collecting the items required to clear the level. The momentum physics are excellent and it deserves its success due to its innovation.
Famicom Cart
Action
A simple concept, immaculately executed as our egg-like hero must lead on screen aliens and the like to the nearest door. Provided they have been opened, the on-screen adversaries will politely take their cue to leave and hopefully mean the level is cleared. Quick thinking is needed to suss out the escape route.
Famicom Cart
RPG
A quest it is and not for the faint hearted with plenty to pull on the heart-strings. But well worthy of preserving for the gaming vault of its top triumphs.
Gamecube
Rhythm
Takes the Bongo controller on a new level by using it to control the platform action. Tap left and right to move the direction, both togther to jump and clap to perform actions. Levels are set against the clock but a minimum number of bananas need to be collected to progress to the next stage. Add to that lush jungle graphics, a score bonus for good use of chimp gymnastics throughout the level plus some frantic tub thumping when delivering blows to the bosses and you have a real storming title.
PS2
Shoot Em Up
In a gesture to Treasure’s fine line of high art shmups, Konami handed them free reign for their ageing but massive Gradius franchise; yet the purists need not have worried: Treasure stayed true to the spirit of the series with its adjustable power ups whilst subtly imprinting its own hand on proceedings with its trademark mega bossses, and eye popping, retina ruining illumimnations. A shmup masterclass.
PS2
Platform
Spikey, vibrant hero unleashed in a 3D world to explore and utilise its resources such as the electricity charge. Packed with innovations and the packing keeps ticking along nicely bringing Sony a mascot it so desires.
Sega Saturn
RPG
From the PC Engine producer of the misty eyed Seiya Monogatari comes another fine RPG to pull the heart strings in an uplifting score. The mechanics are purely 16Bit with beautifully detailed sprites, yet speech and well drawn avatars add much to the action with some superb voice acting. Nostalgic RPG gaming, but there is nothing wrong with that.
Playstation
Shoot Em Up
Packages up two of the most iconic shooters with the embryonic end boss in R Type and R Type II. Needless to say both look a treat on the Playstation and their old school mechanics are still present, yet soon command the respect of their students.
Playstation
A Bit Special
Contains three arcade classics on the one disk: Moon Cresta, Crazy Climber and Frisky Tom. So we have a pre-Galga shooter with the steady hand eye co-ordination required for the docking levels, a climbing game where opening windows, flying plant pots and bird droppings conspire to hinder your progress to the top of the building and finally a puzzler where the water pipe must be repaired to help the fair lady get her shower. Quite a mixed bunch then. The extra capacity of the CD is used to have alternate, updated versions of the games in SF-X, Crazy Climber 95 and Toms Strike Back.
Playstation
Shoot Em Up
Lushly pastel shaded vertically scrolling shoot ’em up from the reliable Konami stable celebrating ten years of Twinbee. Off – shoot of the Gradius and Parodius series. Shooter heads may find its frivolous gameplay a little easy, but everyone will enjoy the ride.
Super Famicom
One on One Beat Em Up
As interesting as a game as a cultural study having been given a makeover to Street Combat for the Western audience. The subtle martial artists were transformed into robots and rejects from an Arnie movie. But the original has plenty going for fans of fight titles with a Japanese slice of lime of the side with an unusual control system with the buttons being used for jumping and blocking and all the wacky manga characters.
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.
Playstation
Action
Many fine gaming moments have been provided through improper gameplay: playing he game not quite as intended. Crash Bandicoot Carnival has the feel of such a game as players crash crates on top of opponents heads and scrap it out for power-ups in the arena based mash-up melee.
PC Engine Super CD ROM
RPG
Beautiful RPG where participants get to choose their character and their accomplices, but perhaps the local Inn is not the best place to round up focused fighters.
PC Engine HU Card
Shoot Em Up
Genki doesn’t remember any shortage of 100 Yen coins, nor 10 Pence pieces for that matter; just a strange, cigarette burnt machine in the middle of the local toy shop. A must for any self respecting retro heads collection as a true piece of gaming history. Subtitled ‘The Revival Day’, additions include powerups and vector graphics.
