Playstation
RPG
A mysterious adventure with an off-kilter feel to the game well suited to a title that translates as Super Riddle.
Playstation
Sports
Ticks all the boxes for those who know their half nelsons from their clotheslines with an electric atmosphere to bouts as crowds lap up the action and a roster of moves that surely cant all be in the Grapple Fans Almanac. Knocks many of its rival titles to the mat for a standing count.
Playstation
Sports
Utilising the guide of Pilotwings, pilots follow the trail of balls in this super fast plane racing game which would no doubt be sponsored by Red Bull if it was released now. The guide helps to avoid a wrong turn on the ravines and caves as shooter stable Xing dabbles in a bit of break neck speed.
Playstation
Sports
Mario Kart tribute with the PlaySation’s hardware getting a good work out spinning the course around on screen. The levels are full of fun with sea and beach based sunshine level looking particularly good in Micro Machines style overhead view. Then there is also the battle mode. The use of fighting like Road Rash as player pass helps it dig its own niche.
Playstation
Simulation
Developed by Marvelous Entertainment, this anime take makes good use of the license and the artistic merit is worthy of its prime time slot it enjoyed since disposing Sakura Wars of the honour. Known in Japan as Muteki Oh Trizenon. The Tri of the title comes from the three mysterious objects that arrived in Japan from deep space in ancient times. Fearing their powers, the locals buried them deep below but now powerful robot Zenon has awakened! Not wishing to sound like the back of a box too much, the game involves plenty of anime streamed straight from the series alongside fun mini games of fishing and dancing to enjoy.
Playstation
Sports
British gamers will get their strawberries and cream in a twist over this Ocean developed tennis title. Solid polygon sprites battle it out for on-court supremacy.
Mega CD
Simulation
Dreaded FMV title that is actually quite a laugh if you can savour the flavour of the hammy, cheesy acting. Gameplay involves setting trap to capture crooks within the apartment building. So often its important to be in the right place at the right time. A classic early example of a console CD game.
Miscellaneous Games
Shoot Em Up
A vertical scrolling shooter from master blasters Sega with clever programming and tasty chip tunes. Can’t go wrong with Sega’s hertitage.
Sony Hardware
Memory Card
A snappy 15 block memory card coming with its own case to keep it in pristine shape. No excuse to not save progress on Final Fantasy VII. Happy days.
Game Gear
Sports
Game Gear slug fest with focus on the pugilists from a side on perspective. A fine roster of boxers to select of different nationalities, if not perhaps a little stereotyped in the retro game way.
Nintendo Hardware
Accessory
A very useful cable, that may not boast stereo sound, but can be used with the New Style Famicom, Super Famicom, N64 and GameCube as Nintendo helpfully points out on the box reverse.
Game Gear
Simulation
Popular Game Gear Mahjong series with an intriguing roster of characters with which to lay down tiles.
GameBoy Original
Simulation
Captures the fun of taking print club pictures which dominated the arcades of Japan. Features can be tweaked in capturing a dream sticker. Also known as Purikura Club Pocket.
GameBoy Color
RPG
Pretty little sprites in the classic Japanese RPG style to accompany the card based combat.
Dreamcast
Shooter
All the frills of the arcade on this home version. Alas a giant snipers rifle may not have proved the most practical so is sadly missing. But other than that, this is a fine light gun game that works a treat on the standard controller as the sight is zoomed around the screen before zooming in for a better look. That is a better look when the power has not just been shot out in the claustrophobic, near darkness levels. The tactical element is grand too with adversaries being taken down through hotel windows within the time limit to preserve the peace. And some fine Bond like tunes.
Dreamcast
Simulation
This Japan exclusive version of the warring kingdoms embarks on a sweeping crusade to build up the biggest army in ancient China through conquering all others. Some epic battles all very nicely realised and true to the period costumes and weaponry, with some nice effects. Known as Romancing of the Three Kingdoms VI in the West. Raise the torch and burn the sky.
Dreamcast
Simulation
A simple series for players to be able to use the Dreamcast servers to battle against each other. The tile game of mah-jong sees players battle it out in the hope of shouting out ‘Reach’.
Sega Saturn
Sports
Genki appreciates the value of a cheesey bit of FMV in gaming history and there are some nice clips in this bowling game. Players must pick a partner from the not quite roster of spring chickens. The bowling action is well represented with some good reactions from your partner, however many pins go down.
PC Engine FX
Simulation
Futuristic battle sim and nurture game as the Little Cats team gets up to plenty of mischief in deep space with all the lavish anime and voice acting you may expect from an FX title.
Famicom Cart
Sports
The Famicom was decades ahead in terms of its escapades into peripherals and this Family Trainer jogging game is a fine example followed up in years to come by the Wii version. It even tells players how long they have run for and how many calories burned up running through the parks of Tokyo against rival competitiors.
Sony Hardware
Accessory
Lists Ridge Racer, Kings Field, Crime Crackers, Jumping Flash, Tekken, Kileak the Blood, Ultimate Parodius, Kyutenkai amongst the titles that can be tweaked with in the interest of fun and to get past that bad boy boss.
