Miscellaneous Hardware
Console
The 3DO dream was a very brave one – allowing many manufacturers to produce hardware taking as much advantage of the multimedia aspect that was seen as the future of gaming and taking on the dominance of Sega and the Big N at the same time. And whilst the headlines screamed DOA and 3DOH! There were still some fine games for the system here seen in the slender lines of the Panasonic model.
Miscellaneous Games
A Bit Special
Having witnessed the success of the Astro City Mini, Taito comes to the party with this scaled down replica of its 1996 Egret II boasting SD Card slot for extra games and five inch screen, besides HDMI output. The save facility certainly helps and the real arcade cognoscenti can tweak the game settings as well as rotate the push out screen to TATE mode. An immense roster including Kikikaikai, Metal Black, The Legend of Kage, Gun Frontier, Ninja Kids, Tatsujin: the roster of forty inclusive titles is rich and varied. This is the violet version and looks very snazzy in it.
Switch
Simulation
The tactical battle simulation based on the PSP incarnations of the games and looking amazing on the souped up hardware. The source material has clearly inspired the developers to attain new heights in its sumptuous appearance with a devilishly cunning gameplay engine underneath the bonnet.

Shooter
Few will forget their first blast on Kikikaikai. The initial barrier was to be able to pronounce it to the local importer in the pre-internet days. And despite being just the early nineties, few gamers were sufficiently cross-pollinated with games of its ilk to understand the ensuing cultural chaos. Not that it requires understanding with fast paced shooting fury the order of the day. Yet a randy raccoon tanuki friend that can deflect shots with his tail did raise a few eyebrows. The Shinto inspired Japanese blaster draws on mythology as necks extend inexplicably and one-eyed umbrella ghosts hop past. Cultural references aplenty all in a luscious sprite-based world driving gamers on to see more. Unrelenting pace as you the priestess battle against all the evil of underworld armed with nothing more than a purification branch. A Super Famicom classic well-worthy of this fine update and hopefully new and old audience with new playable characters. Known in the West as Pocky and Rocky Reshrined.
Sega Saturn
Puzzle
All your favourite high school characters in a Puyo Puyo style saccharine sweet puzzle game. Boutique babe Ms. Kagami is a favourite in the Genki office.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Sound pinball game which avoids being over ambitious in keeping the full table view at all times rather than zooming in on a specific section making multi balls work a treat. Good table designs and cheery, pool room style tunes.
Sega Saturn
RPG
3D RPG with clever isometric perspective which clearly says not a 16Bit RPGer. Yet under the gloss with the anime intro and avatars and the battle pyrotechnics, the plot is as well weaved as a plot of scalp on Mr Shane Warnes hair, harking of a bygone golden era.
Mega Drive
Sports
Tidy little retro racer covering the formula one world circuit tour with split screen two player mode and some tight corners. Human were the 16Bit masters of the F1 season – an ever present on the winners podium.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Super natural goings on to this seemingly innocent adventure add that air of Japanese horror and spine tingling chills.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Kazumi and co lock horns in the original Dead or Alive. A true classic on the Saturn. Revisited by Team Ninja for a make over proving well balanced gameplay withstands the test of time.
Sega Saturn
Action
Punching through the land and dropping bombs to create gaps to squeeze through the gaps to collect the treasure on offer before the timer runs out. A vast screen on offer and all viewable without scrolling so players can plan their assault against the clock. Superb old school entertainment.
Sega Saturn
A Bit Special
Genki has a question, is your Japanese good enough or are you feeling lucky enough to find out why this game merits the red badge warning? Includes quiz and CG Gallery.
Sega Saturn
RPG
Smart rendered graphics in this self-proclaimed romantic RPG.
Sega Saturn
Stimulation
Working at the Pia Carrot cafe over the summer holidays may not be as dull as it sounds with this dating sim warranting the Yellow Label warning. Trying to focus on washing the dishes may prove more difficult than first thought.
Sega Saturn
Sports
F Zero gets funky for the Playstation generation with acid tinged techno to get the toes tapping. There were comparisons between the two versions to asses the various merits of the rival hardwares, yet the Saturn version scores well and it flexes its 3D muscles brazenly, even if the muscle structure is a little different. A true epoch defining title in the hardware war.
Sega Saturn
RPG
“Based on the artwork of H.R. Giger.” A dark and moody RPG in the Dungeons & Dragons mould. A must for fans of Alien.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Features six of the most popular voice actresses in Japan to bolster the blocky early Virtua Fighter polygon graphics. Follow up to the saucy Pretty Fighter X.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
From developers of Megami Tensei series, this off shoot has sumptuous graphics oozing atmosphere and plays in a similar mould to the Tensei series; as such recommended to fans.
Mega Drive
Shoot Em Up
Gritty World War styled horizontally scrolling shooter that positively zips along besides the parallax skies, cliffs or well drawn clouds. As well as the gunning ability of the plane, budding pilots will have their bombing skills tested too as enemy boats zip along the ocean to try and get a pot shot in. Wears its old school credentials proudly and few would be able to roll up to reveal a more impressive tattoo at the retro bar of gaming.
Sega Saturn
Puzzle
Final Puzzle Bobble release on the Saturn packed full of modes as you’d expect from Taito – even utilising some of their back catalogue of crazy characters. The most intriguing mode is a level edit allowing you to design your own fiendish fantasy puzzles.
