Sega Saturn
A Bit Special
Demos of Sengoku Blade, Stakes Winner, Street Racer Extra and Magic Carpet with a feature on AM2 and a look at Shining The Holy Ark.
Famicom Cart
Platform
Bright and breezy platformer which was also further developed into a 16Bit platformer with bold, colourful characters full of well animated expression. Recommended to fans of the platform genre.
Merchandise
Magazine
First issue as the Dreamcast takes up the Saturn’s baton. The adverts are very well drawn and Saturn games still feature. Sonic Adventure, Sega Rally 2, Kita e, D2, Frame Gride, Blue Stinger, Climax Landers, Evolution, Incoming, Aero Dancing, Buggy Heat, Power Stone, Seventh Cross and Tetris 4D all feature along with a briefer look at upcoming releases at the time. Virtua Fighter 3tb, Pen Pen Triathlon, July and Godzilla get play guides along wit a couple of Saturn titles.
Figures
Figure
Plastic model for self assembly based on the popular Youkai Watch series from Japan which draws on Japan’s rich heritage of ghosts. The sticker sheet adds plenty of character to the finished model.
Famicom Cart
Sports
Walking like a crab, pushing a beach ball along in a race and hopping from log to log in this sports themed game for the Family Trainer mat. A fine peripheral and well supported by Nintendo.
Super Famicom
Platform
Although the SFC was always blessed with an abundance of fine platformers, this tidy Capcom title has plenty to commend it to anyone’s collection with fluid control and great variety in levels including a remarkable balloon flight besides the obligatory underwater sections.
Nintendo Hardware
Console
A great way to get into import gaming: the Japanese N64 has more import sizzlers than a Yakuza has had cigarettes extinguished on them. Please also note: this console does not support RGB output.
Sega Hardware
Console
The original Dreamcast machine is a splendid way to enjoy the vast array of Japan exclusive Dreamcast titles without the hassle of convertors in full NTSC glory. The Dreamcast remains a well respected machine amongst the gaming cognoscenti for its excellent array of fighting games, shooters and a few off-beat treats.
Sega Hardware
Console
Treat of a machine is tasty, slimline, zero calorie form. Great to get up and running into importing Japanese exclusives with very snug pads.
GameBoy Advance
RPG
A splendid, sprawling epic cocooned in a wonderful threads of Shining Force story. Lovingly crafted sprites reminiscent of the halcyon era of the Super Famicom.
PS Vita
Platform
Great to see the series get back to its roots in this tribute to the highly collectable Super Famicom version. The visuals are spot on – the Vita hardware has added much to the visual impact. But Genki are grateful the gameplay has been left as it always was. Unlike most platformers super hero style jumps aren’t possible here – instead a trusty fishing rod is used to latch onto platforms and guide our schoolgirl heroine around. It is also used to catch fish adversaries in an imaginative twist that can then be stashed in her backpack if so desired. Fresh gameplay even today that you soon get into the swing of.
Dreamcast
Simulation
The disks contain a TV drama with the detective charged with piecing together the evidence to solve the mysterious murders occurring. A great language learning tool.
Dreamcast
Rhythm
Intriguing twist on the rhythm action style of game with J Pop music that adjusts to your skill level. Protaganists Amp and Spica must dance their way through the colourful Cool Cool Town using their dancing skills to appease yellow werewolves and diffuse bombs. Gameplay is similar to Space Channel 5 and Neo Geo Pocket link up is possible in this last import only SNK release for the Dreamcast. This link up lets you unlock instruments in the Pocket version which can then be used in the Dreamcast version
Wonderswan
RPG
The Inuyasha world brought to life on the small colour screen and looking lavish. Enjoyable adventure romp with impressive combat sequences.

Fatal Fury starts in these tribute artworks that sit perfectly on desktops. The pull back design shows the artwork in motion adding to the effect. Neo Geo devotees will lap this up.
PS2
Action
Few can be as deserving of the nick name Solid Snake as Kojima’s hero. This one man war machine again dons John Rambo style headband and uses the art of stealth to progress without too much attention drawing strafe. Snake: beret off, we salute you.
PS2
RPG
Capcom utilises its cel shaded sprites for the gaming world and combat giving this a retro chic feel to the fabulous looking battles complete with obligatory, over-the-top, outlandish special moves. Looks like a retro Ghibli anime.
PS2
One on One Beat Em Up
Update of the fine fight fest from the Dreamcast school of kung-fu comes a simultaneous four player update with PS2 exclusive characters and a survival mode. The mighty multiplayer match-ups also allow for three on one battles where the combos and throws really come into their own with a dedicated turn button for when the opponent gets too close for comfort. Guity Gear Isuka also utilises additional planes of fighting like Fatal Fury did previously to ensure the screen doesn’t get too cramped. But the real icing on the cake is the side scrolling beat ’em up complete with mean bosses and the ability to unleash special moves.

Six different Sega designs to these shopper bags to make you the envy of your local supermarket, if not gaming convention. Two styles to represent each of the Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast.
Nintendo Hardware
Accessory
Vibrates in sync with the on screen action. Adds enjoyment to a long list of titles such as Star Fox, Mario 64, Wave Race, Golden Eye… Very panic inducing when used on Golden Eye and you don’t know where the shots are coming from.
Nintendo DS
Action
A Japan exclusive and special release in that Club Nintendo members were the only ones able to obtain a copy. A tribute to the classic title and very tasty Game & Watch making good use of the DS’s merits and with clever single and multi player modes to extend the games longevity.
