Super Famicom
Sports
Sammy uses its arcade know-how to produce a fine version of all-American football. Players can feel a bit floaty, but the tackles are crunching bringing them back to earth. The gameplay is fast with some impressive speech. Known as Football Fury in the West.
PC Engine CD ROM
Simulation
War simulator delving into Japan’s historic feudal past with plenty of samurai haircuts and caste to raid in order to control the strategic Kanto area.
PS4
Shooter
Great to be back feeling the raw power of the mech just as in the original classic. The lighting effects are stunning to add to the sense of awe and there is plenty of thunder in the weaponry on offer to the hulking titanium mecha suit. Like welcoming in an old friend: appearances may have changed a little, but the understanding is there.

Playstation
Simulation
Side scrolling shooting action as mechs go cockpit to cockpit with nicely rendered fighters and smooth backgrounds that smoke away in the background adding to the at war feel. Players also take to space similar to Cybernator, but the fight action is closer combat. The slick anime cut scenes are a given with Bandai’s backing.
Super Famicom
Puzzle
Many Super Famicom games strike a good chord of nostalgia with Genki and Cosmo Gang is no exception with its uplifting soundtrack and fine, cutesy sprite graphics. Similar to Baku Baku Animal, various hungry creatures fall to the players side of the screen along with the blocks they can munch. Its possible to clear a line of blocks by correct alignment like inTetris. But players who wish to see their opponent suffer will also have to use the block munching animals to great combo effect. Old school and proud: well worthy of its VC medal of conversion to the Wii.

Striking artwork up there with the finest Sega Fantasy. Tactical combat in positioning troops and some lavish cut scenes to the combat to help crank up the tension alongside the triumphant soundtrack. A fine example of the genre.

PS Vita
Shoot Em Up
Classic shooter Darius gets a Vita update to get those trigger fingers twitching more than a freshly dispatched robotic cat fish boss. The darkness of deep space contrasts beautifully against the ships pyrotechnics as blast after blast illuminates the screen well suited to horizontal shooters. And of course the multi route selection remains adding plenty of replay value to those who can stick at it like a limpet.
Sega Saturn

Not so much a game, more a demonstration of the CD format and its capacity to display aquarium style tanks on your TV in line with company receptions of the era. It also permits ventures into more uncharted waters to see dolphins and sting rays.
