PC Engine HU Card
Shoot Em Up
Not your standard shooter as Robo Kid uses a unique firing system and the levels vary from horizontally scrolling to maze type. Fresh in a crowded PC Engine market place.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Pre rendered FMV graphics to this adventure of the gothic ilk with plenty of mystery and an assistant in an impossibly short China dress. Slick scenes and good voice acting as the mystery eventually unravels.
PS2
RPG
A compendium of footage and info for fans of the series which also includes a playable demo of the fine Xenosaga II, allowing players to sample its sleek, sci-fi turn based simulation mechanics. There is also a game of Japanese scrabble in there to help build up the true otaku’s vocabulary for the next Xenosaga convention.
PS2
Shoot Em Up
The legend continues with worthy conversions of two of the most solid thoroughbred stars of the Gradius stable with no slowdown. Gradius III adds a welcomed save facility for completed stages and Gradius IV has crisp, clean high res visuals as the hardware can provide with ease.
PS2
A Bit Special
A promotional disk only available from McDonalds Japan. Demo versions of Parappa The Rapper 2 and Pipo Monkey are the suspiciously hamburger orientated titles.
PC Engine CD ROM
Simulation
Absolute gem for fans of Takahashi’s gender bending Ranma. Digital comic style gameplay captures the essence of the very humourous series with some very bizarre goings on.
PC Engine HU Card
Platform
Three basic style: park, city or factory levels to be negotiated at day or night with a sword that powers up to release fireballs to help to defeat the robot or dragon boss. Reassuringly familiar gameplay for those who feel like there’s a disturbance in the force with today’s mass market fodder.
PC Engine HU Card
Shooter
Bold attempt by NEC to bring the de rigueur coin op of the era back to the home comfort of the PC Engine. And whilst the Virtual Cushion may not match the hydraulics of the arcade original, the 3D top down and in screen graphics have been suitably transferred across. The action is thick and fast and ThunderBlade adds another feather in the Engines arcade collection.
PC Engine HU Card
Shoot Em Up
WWII themed shooter with solid play mechanics and plenty of tanks to blow up and battleships to sink. You can also call in the squadron to help out when in a fix. Originally a Hu Card release also given a CD Rom update. Conversion of this title known as Twin Hawk in the arcades was licensed from shoot ’em up fanatics Toaplan.
Famicom Cart
Action
Plenty of tributes to its mighty back catalogue in game for the discerning gamer. Taking out tanks that appear in the maze means keeping a keen eye out for where they will appear, if in control of the skirmish. Otherwise it means grabbing those freeze power ups or blasting a whole in the maze to sit in, perhaps even behind camouflage.
Famicom Cart
Action
A beautiful taster of what was to come in Parodius et al. The Penguin hero of the title piles on the pounds with each hit and therefore gets less likely to make the time limit controlled end of level. Full of colourful, Konami fun and humour and a real gem of a Famicom game.
Famicom Cart
Sports
That pixel perfect presentation with Nintendo as Mario takes to the world courses with Flower of Scotland belting out, in chip-tune format, whilst playing in the UK.
PC Engine HU Card
Sports
Real test of stamina as getting the ball in the onion bag involves a fair amount of sweat and toil. Arcade style action comes into its own in two player mode.
Dreamcast
Sports
The Giant Gram series actually follows on from where Virtua fighter based All Japan Pro Wrestling left off on the Saturn. This makes the 2000 version the third instalment and an enjoyable hoedown even for those who leave the leopard spot leotards to the professionals. A bucket load of techniques to master including some super charged specials and counter moves, a commentator as keen as mustard, a crowd that’s easily whipped into a frenzy – what more could a grappler ask for apart from perhaps Giant haystacks on the roster of many All Japan Pro Wrestling legends? Four players can really have some button bashing fun.
PC Engine CD ROM
Simulation
Ataru seems destined for many ominous days as the priest Cherry often predicts. Caught between Lum and Shinobu and half the members of his school class (the female ones) only chaos can reign. Great digital comic game for fans of the very popular anime series.
Sega Saturn
RPG
A splendid, sprawling epic cocooned in a wonderful threads of story. Similar to Grandia except with the camera zooming in on the battles scenes in a cinematic style. The finest Saturn RPG?
PC Engine Super CD ROM
Simulation
GS Mikami has plenty of Shinto inspired high jinx as Mikami links the modern world with a spiritual universe. Plenty of cultural confusion reminiscent of a Rumiko Takahashi manga escapade. Great humour and with plenty of options.
PC Engine HU Card
Platform
The cute kiwi bird armed with a bow and arrow is the only New Zealand connection in this classic Taito style release, believed to be a precursor to Liquid Kids. As Tiki your quest involves rescuing your chick who was taken away by a kiwi vending leopard seal. Plenty of extras such as screen freeze, speed ups, balloon and underwater levels and warps to help you along.
Playstation
Platform
Second outing on the PSX and Tomba is in fine fettle on his quest to recue his friend from the marauding pigs. Tomba is armed to the teeth with a plethora of fun weaponry. Selectable views add much to the playability of this very enjoyable platformer. Known as Tombi in Europe for some reason.
Super Famicom
Shoot Em Up
Play as an octopus, bunny girl or tropical fish amongst the bizarre characters in Konami’s charming Parodius series. Areas include on a Japanese motorway, inside a cake and a UFO catcher game. Very refreshing in an era of too many games that take themselves far too seriously. Hats off to Konami for its self depreciating humour. Known in Japan as Gokujou Parodius.
Super Famicom
Simulation
Worthy of purchase for the box artwork alone if it weren’t for the well designed mecha waiting their turn to attack each other inside. A lesson in strategy combat titles thats truly absorbing and well worthy of the Squaresoft label. Praise due to the Cybernator creator Toshio Tsuchida’s work on the mecha design.
