PS2
Shoot Em Up
Part of the ‘Ore Tachi Gamesen Zoku’ series (We are the game centre gang – sounds tougher in Japanese!)
PS2
Rhythm
Winter theme to this instalment of the chance to shine like the Christmas star of wonder (or finally make the neighbours move out.) Plethora of 90’s J-Pop with Chemistry, Globe, Dreams Come True, Kiroro and X Japan amongst others.
Super Famicom
Platform
Unbelievably fluid animation capturing the fine emotive expression of Mickey. Delightfully revisits the cartoons earliest years with a spiffing black and white intro level and the early characters that featured in Mickey’s early scrapes. A special ghost level awaits, but we will try and keep the suspense. Splendid example of the genre. Hats off.
Super Famicom
One on One Beat Em Up
Destroy cities whilst wrestling Godzilla like monsters in this commendable conversion of the Neo Geo classic. Towering skyscrapers can be tossed at opponents and each monster has its own special energy zapping move. Pesky humans interfere but can easily be dispatched with a swipe of the tail.
PS2
Action
Sony shows its understanding of the 3D action genre with simple lines in its space theme and good character sizing and camera angles to be able to judge jumps, rather than rely on leaps of faith. The Iron Man mecha level is great fun as players don the Tetsujin 28 suit to wrestle the Ninja Robot.
Gamecube
Action
Moves like a YouTube speed play video as Sonic zips across the platform levels with forays into 3D platforms too to take breath. The F-Zero tribute race stage is well worth a ride. Can also link to the GBA games to add extra special options.
Famicom Cart
Simulation
Sprightly puzzle game where tiles must be rotated to clear the screen: much easier in practise than words. Adopts various styles to the game view be it the dynastic classical Chinese mahjong tiles, fantasy role playing medieval style or playing cards on the beach setting.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Coming with J Pop soundtrack with lyrics as sweet as the in game anime characters comes the gorgeously animated Comic Party. Playing your cards with care ensures the game engine doesn’t come back to bite you.
Dreamcast
RPG
Capcom had big plans for the Eldorado series with a monthly release for seven volumes. Unfortunately this old school RPG never saw light of day in the West.
PS2
One on One Beat Em Up
SNK once again reinvents its long running scrapping series and manages to invigorate the genre at the same time with fine backgrounds including a luscious aquarium. Intelligent use of the ‘striker’ character is essential to progress and there are plenty of potential candidates who rush on launching a scathing attack, then disappear after a bit of taunting. With thirty-five slickly animated playable characters to choose from matched by the same number of strikers there’s plenty to get your teeth (and fists) into. Just try and resist the urge to unleash the desperation move until the time is right.
PS2
Rhythm
Feisty festival title that brings not just the sound but the heat and colour of a Japanese festival to life on the PSP. Buttons (or ideally the drum sticks) must be tapped in tune to the on screen action. Control soon become intuitive though and there is a wide spectrum of songs that are bound to raise your spirits and get you shouting Wasshoi in joy. Undeniably bizarre but when it brings the spirit of a Japanese festival into your home it can’t be bad.
Playstation
Platform
Genki may be going soft, but we miss the day when you could find a safe spot on the screen and simply blast away until the boss destructs. With a slight pang towards a greater challenge, these bad boys demand not only full attention to weak spots, but also to keeping an eye on the platforms to avoid tumbling to boss rush purgatory. Rats!
PS2
Action
The stealth requirement distinguishes Metal Gear from more action orientated titles as players slip in and out of the bushes. Kojima deserves notoriety for such dedication to the project, not known since Miyamoto san.
PS2
Shoot Em Up
High production values with fine attention to detail in the landscapes all interlaced with top draw GCI cut scenes adds up to a superlative sapping experience. A strategical element is added to the frantic, frenetic shooter action in that wing weapons must be selected in accordance with the level awaiting. Half way through the level the mother ship will drop in though for a well needed health boost and a opportunity to reconfigure for the intelligent bosses that vary their assaults. As is the way with modern shooters, dicing with death is actively encouraged as the multiplier spirals out of control by shooting the ships when they are really too close for comfort.
Super Famicom
Platform
Well suited to the 16Bit format, Mickey once again comes up a winner in this assuringly familiar platform adventure. Gas is used to fill balloons to travel up to seemingly out of reach platforms or get a gulp of air quickly out the sea with water being used to put out fires. Ice levels, water based worlds and lashings of Disney magic as treasure chests come alive and walk off. Nice bosses and dramatic sound effects in a highly endearing platform escapade.
Super Famicom
Platform
Fitting into the action platform genre comes a licensed game based on the escapades of the well known (at least in Japan) Shin Chan – drawn as if by crayon. Full of imagination and a refreshing visual style, Shinchan must take on adversaries such as cockroach men. Never lacking in colour.

Super Famicom
Action
Something about Bomberman just seemed to click on the Super Famicom and it fits the format like a Tokyo cab drivers white gloves. Perhaps it was the relatives limitations of the format that permitted Hudson to develop the series, rather than to try and invent the Bomberman genre as found on later platforms. Happy days.
Playstation
Simulation
Beautiful fan book with plenty of screen shots to discuss the Playstation drama game. Every decision seems to have an influence over the very enjoyable story.
PC Engine Super CD ROM
Platform
Clever side scrolling platform action where players must use their cunning in order to add to the screens in extra platforms, moving ramps and dissolving blocks to help the builderman get across the screen. Enjoyable and not too taxing, but still gives plenty of satisfaction when a plan comes together.
PC Engine Super CD ROM
Simulation
Create your very our princess or spoilt brat with this sequel and conversion to the incredibly popular PC game.
