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.
PS2
RPG
Sequel to the popular action RPG where the team roams lands with impressive draw distances and towns with goat like dogs outside – surely another potential member to join the band of brave expeditioners.
Playstation
Action
Rockman revels in the 3D world with the action RPG elements working a treat alongside the fine combat that let our hero, also known as Megaman, seems to find a blast.
PS2
Action
Frees Master Belmont up in the third dimension to be able to take on all and sundry from the fourth dimension in spiffing Gothic splendour. The 3D perspective also allows the combat to come to the fore more than leaps of faith from platform to platform, whip lassoing chandeliers as Simon goes.
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.
