Shoot Em Up
Reaching back into what feels to Genki like the near past in compiling three precious (and fairly exclusive) Saturn shooters in Cotton 2, Cotton Boomberang and Guardian Force. Cotton 2 exemplifies all the hit points that made the Saturn a mean 2D machine. Cute sprite graphics and good pacing. Boomerang is not a full sequel to Cotton 2, more feeling like a very slick update as there wasn’t anything really in need of correcting in the prequel. The controls have been revamped along with gameplay additions of a special charge projectile and the facility to switch between three different players. As such the energy bar has gone: each player now represents a life. The in game graphics have been given a lick of paint with some impressive effects hurtling the player into more on screen insanity. The presentation has also been spruced up with hi resolution cut sequences and an intro to give twitchy fingers a break. A true success saving the best until last. Guardian Force is a unique take on the shooter formula with players taking the role of tank driver to blast through enemy lines. No mere gimmick though: in a refreshing twist the tanks turret can rotate through 360 degrees making it possible to pound enemy installations whilst making a hasty retreat. The simultaneous two player option is the icing on the pretty looking cake. A dream team compilation and a real blast.

Utilising the VB’s technology to the maximum as balls get pitched towards the batters face, sometimes coming a little too close for comfort inducing the odd, embarrassing finch. Pitching allows a variety of techniques to be used to catch the batter off guard including a fast pitch, a curved pitch or a forkball. Players are nicely represented in super deformed form. An enjoyable ballpark blitz.
PS2
One on One Beat Em Up
Based on the anime series with loose connections to Greek mythology, this plays a very solid battle with some sparkling visual effects worthy of the over the top specials. Destructable backgrounds add to the manga mayhem too. The Japanese version contains the original soundtrack and a few excellent, high tempo tracks which were sadly remixed for the European version due to copyright reasons. It also has more in game speech and katakana sound effects just like a manga book.
Playstation
Puzzle
A highly-collectable puzzle game in which players must get their brains thinking on the lines of triangles to slot them together and deliver punishing chains to your opponent. A cheery array of characters and enjoyable in-game animations for those with enough time to glance at them. Developer Santos is better known for Airgrave and Stahlfeder on the format.

Konami makes waves with its fluid flowing football engine taking it a good twelve points clear of its nearest rivals at the top of the table.

The oldest course in world golf gets a fitting tribute in this relaxing golf game with good putting set up to avoid nutter with the putter syndrome. Good use of the rich heritage of the course with the buildings and famous bridges well created using the 64s polygon power.

Daley Thompson has a lot to answer for as the official Olympic license gives this modern day incarnation a bit more of a refined approach to the varying disciples next to its more down to earth, retro podium runner. Known in the West as International Track and Field Summer Games.

The Game Gear thirtieth anniversary is celebrated with this two pin badge set beautifully presented in the decorative box. One of the badges is the Game Gear logo and the other the handheld system.
PS4
Shoot Em Up
True to its roots with organic bosses and power ups to bring back the nostalgia. The cut-scenes are a delight and the thrill of illuminating a dank, claustrophobic corner of the level with laser pyrotechnics is a delight.
Famicom Cart
Platform
Another fine discovery from Columbus with fast paced platform shooting action presented to Capcom’s lofty standards. The gameplay seems to have taken on board recent mobile gaming releases with sometimes unforgiving pixel perfect play required. But the boss rushes are like a shoulder massage to gamers of a certain vintage.
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
Darker third installment from the Garapagos team with many new characters and more damaging specials. Loved by some, others resented the increased damage level decreasing bout time. Still slicing an opponent brings a worrying degree of satisfaction.
Super Famicom
Simulation
A nice Mario collectable with picture related puzzles and animated pictures all created with the ease of a Nintendo user friendly interface. The naughty Wario pops up adding a bit of mischief to the arty mix.
Super Famicom
Simulation
Beautifully drawn tactical RPG with metal hulks taking on mecha robots. Attains a real high graphical standard on the SFC. Switches to a boxing style perspective aswell as the isometric strategic part with player avatar.
Super Famicom
One on One Beat Em Up
Roughly translating as ‘Super Big Brother’, this is the closest you get to the Village People on a console! Highly imaginative, very wacky digitised graphics to the point where you’ll wonder if shiitake are the only mushrooms the creators have been having in their miso soup. Drifts away from the shooting action of its predecessors for a one on one fist fest taking place in mid air – reassuringly with female characters too. Although the fart attacks are no way to treat a lady.
Super Famicom
Sports
A very speedy Indy car title that zips along utilising the revolutionary Mode 7. Concentration is a perquisite to be spraying the champers on the race girls. Warning: shots contain end credit shots (and terrible spelling!)
Super Famicom
Sports
Plenty of thrills and oil spills in this overhead F1 treat backed by legendary racer Nakajima. Rev heads will rejoice at the fast paced action. Popular on the Mega Drive too.
Super Famicom
Shoot Em Up
Solid conversion of the coin – op with all the wonders of the seven seas contained in its mechanical marina. Darius shows why it has remained a classic shmup from the Taito stable of thoroughbreds.
Super Famicom
Platform
Hard as nails run and gun delight from Konami which saw the series hit a real pinnacle. Expert use of mode 7 keeps the frentic action varied and boiling to the point of nuclear fission. Also uses side on and over head levels to keep the action varied. The two player mode is a massive help towards cracking this tough nut.
Super Famicom
RPG
Stunningly beautiful in a sprite based Super Famicom way, Capcom proved it had more to it than mere fight fests in this masterpiece. The artwork for the box is well worthy of mention too. Still the title is a little more linear than the work of its rival: the mighty Final Fantasy series, but Breath of Fire at least manages to singe its Chocobo feathers. (It’s no shame to say it doesnft quite hold a torch light to Link. But Genki has always had a glint in its eye for the Super Famicom Zelda.) Plenty of hours gameplay on offer and a well woven story line.

Takes on the mantle of the epic Fire Pro Wrestling series. Makes the somewhat tricky manoeuvres of the third instalment a little easier to execute aswell as unlocking all of the hidden wrestlers to be able to sample all the wrestlers.
