Playstation
Simulation
Drawing deeply on Middle Eastern mythology comes a smooth war simulator which is no Tower of Babylon. Set in ancient Persia with historically sensitive setting and rekindled recently for a Playstation download.
Game Gear
Simulation
Feudal Japan based war sim from the illustrious and infamous Wolf Team showing plenty of promise. Trying to unite the warring fractions of a sliced up country requires the strongest of armies and a legion of loyal samurai.
Game Gear
Sports
Reminiscent of World Stadium on the C64 if that doesn’t give away Genki as a bit of a veteran with less hair than Sir Clive Sinclair. Covers all bases with aplomb.
Game Gear
RPG
Middle Eastern themed RPG quest with great realisation of the gaming world in its Eastern splendour. As chats with guards soon reveal, all is not well in the State of Denmark, well Arabia at least. Plenty of sailing the high seas and sword swash buckling in this very tidy adventure. Known in Japan as Sadam Crusaders.
Game Gear
Sports
Whilst not always obeying the laws of physics, Super Monaco 2 has some fine circuits to hone the drivers handling skills, even if its firmly arcade in its approach. Includes the World GP with its mighty challenge to make sure its you spraying the champagne, not down in the pits.
Game Gear
Sports
Realistic representative of rounders from Sega Sports, packed full of updated Major League players and stats. Very solid slugger for fans with enough to recommend it to those not so into the World Series.
Game Gear
Shooter
Sound conversion of the 360 degree rotating arcade machine that came with appropriately placed panic button for those not quite up to making it in Top Gun. Each level demands a quota of enemy fighter planes or tanks be taken out to progress within the time limit. Deft pilots will find themselves able to stash away a few hard earned greenbacks to bolster weaponry and boost armoury.
GameBoy Original
Simulation
A refreshing and imaginative action RPG set on the islands and foliage of a far away land making for unusual situations and adversaries. Being tossed overboard whilst your darling is zipping away kidnapped on a boat is not the best foot to get off on.
Famicom Cart
Sports
Known as RBI Baseball 3 in the US of A. And you can almost smell the corn dogs and popcorn. Just ensure any catches are left to the players and not the crowd reaching over the barriers as happened in one crucial match we would hate to remind the culprit of…
Famicom Cart
Sports
Known as RBI Baseball across the pond, this sports slugger certainly covers all bases with some nice touches such as the homerun fireworks. But the secret of Moneyball is not the big slugs, but the percentages.
Famicom Cart
Action
Famicom arcade conversion in fine fettle as participants have to run a gauntlet of futuristic obstacles to get to the other end of the course. Hurdles must be lept, ramps and booster squares propel the runner to the goal and its possible to leap from power square to power square in order to reach the finish line in record time.
Famicom Cart
Sports
Happy memories of plugging the cart into the back of the C64 come flooding back. (You couldn’t beat a game that was guaranteed to work on the Commodore 64.) Plenty of spit and polish being a Nintendo title with nice attention to detail such as the cheerleaders. Misty eyed Famicom nostalgia.
Sega Saturn
Shooter
Update of the Mega CD release sees great visual strides taken as you fly your helicopter on a variety of 3D missions unleashing some almighty firepower from the skies.
GameBoy Advance
Action
Best described as an underwater Pac Man in which players avoid the hazards to collect as much of the stolen treasure as possible by spinning around. Oh and the player is a fish. Well suited to the small screen.
Mega Drive
Simulation
Deep and involving World War II turn based war game that was never released outside Japan due to its controversial opening shots of Hitler along with a digitised sample of one of his speeches.
Famicom Cart
Platform
An old school coin op style to the gameplay as our Ninja hops upwards to try and gain vertical ground up the screen. Cheeky oni enemies and nasty ninjas try and hinder progress, but a well-dispatched shuriken assists to put paid to them. And the gratitude of the little obachan at having hoped from wall to wall up the well makes it all worthwhile.
Playstation
RPG
From the anime series comes this spin off adventure with original story and plenty of stunningly realised scenes.
Famicom Cart
Platform
Imaginative packaging and the unforgiving, old school gameplay of the Nintendo. Old school barrel jumping action reminiscent of the playground smash Game & Watch title.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
The course of true love certainly never runs smoothly in this dating adventure. Just be sure to choose your cake early as the developers won’t let you eat all the cakes.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
A fine preorder gift with Killer Bee stinging us with their first single: ‘Rap Tap Out.’ Befits the series with good tempo.
Merchandise
Magazine
Players may well head straight for the DVD included along with double sided poster posing the tricky conundrum of Dead or Alive’s Kazumi or Makoto Aihara or Ms. Spencer from Rumble Roses. The DVD has footage of Ridge Racer 6, Onimush and Sega Rally along with briefer glimpses of Renegade, Capcom Classics Collection, Rumble Roses, Gunstar Heroes and Street Fighter Zero 3. The magazine is multi format and Dreamcast shooters Under Defeat and Radirgy get a brief look in. Also known as Dorimaga from the abbreviated Japanese.
