Nintendo 64
One on One Beat Em Up
Plenty of all-star combatants from the Nintendo range, taking each other on in innovative arenas with plenty of little touches, such as dust clouds on impact, that relay that Nintendo magic. Yet beneath the pretty candy coloured characters lies a pretty brutal fight engine.
XBOX
Simulation
Koei really made its name with such battle simulations as this: taking charge of fearless Nobunaga’s men to wage war against those who fail to fall under the control of the mighty warrior.
PS2
Action
A beautiful and colourful action adventure with so much polish from Sony as our hero has his own creature friend to help him on his quest involving simple tasks that prove thoroughly rewarding. The effort Sony has placed into this triple-A title is clear as the bright, blue skies and it clearly placed a lot on it during the early PS2 console wars.
PS2
RPG
Not the most famed PS2 title, but it is well-worth a trip back in time to play as the game itself involves slipping through time to an old school Germany and trying to solve the mysterious quest. Konami always bring plenty of polish and this cult cracker is very unpredictable.
PS2
Platform
The hardware is capable of keeping up with Sonic’s speed and the game works as well in the third dimension as it does in 2D back on the Mega Drive. Fine blend of speed and action, masterfully mixed by the Sonic Team.
PS2
Action
Superb old school British accents as the player is tasked with escaping the prisoner of war camp in WWII in this well made game of stealth and cunning with plenty of tension to avoid detection.
PS2
Sports
A real trailer trash feel to the back garden fight action that sees wrestlers utilise any of the detritus lying around to smash against an opponent, all whilst the guy happily barbecues away obliviously. Varied fight arenas including a dimly lit bar with nervous looking fish int he aquarium. Quite a cult following to this rough and ready fight fest.
PS2
RPG
Incredible art in the avatar and game characters that give this an unearthly, sci-fi feel. The combat system is honed and a delight with some hybrid critter like creatures for your brave band to take down, leg by leg.
Playstation
Simulation
Title for those who know their helmet from their plow beetles. Insect keeping is a popular pastime for school children in Japan and this title covers the joys of the hobby.
Playstation
Simulation
Konami captures the essence of the Gyaru fashion in Japan of blonde hair, plenty of kira kira sparkling jewellery and an abundance of make up in this board game with a wealth of fun mini games.
Sega Saturn
Sports
Subtitled The Craig Stadler Challenge and hosted by the good man himself, looking good in digitised form and dubbed in Japanese. The golfers look fine too also in digitised form with fine presentation to introduce each hole.
GameBoy Color
RPG
Build your own RPG with plot twists to put Square to shame. Plenty of options to hone your idea into a model of perfection. All thats required is imagination and patience. Two players can link up to share ideas in this version small in stature but full of endless gameplay.
Playstation
Simulation
Fans of the almighty Gundam series will lap this huge sprawling game in a beautiful limited edition complete with model and goodies.
PS2
RPG
Stunningly beautiful be it the in game, slick combat with plenty of visual pizazz or the lovingly animated cut-scenes. Smooth fight engine and an epic story, Square always put in the hard yards and it doesn’t half show.
Playstation
Simulation
Based on designs inspired by the Legend of King Arthur, these tables have a colourful, fantasy look and play differently to each other. A fine representation of a table top game with polished ball mechanics.
Playstation
Simulation
Sail the seven seas with the vibrant crew of One Piece that is always full of fun and high jinx on the high seas. The ship sails an isometric seascape and the crew soon get into plenty of scrapes themselves.
PS2
Sports
Enjoyable boxing blast with tongue firmly in cheek. Each pugilist enjoys their own entrance to the ring with some style kept going in bout throw the facial expressions of winks and blowing kisses right through to the final pose and toothless grin. The training mode is also enjoyable with a certain group of combos required to build up the boxers stats before the big one, with other training methods such as aerobics available in mini games to extend the longevity
Sega Saturn
Sports
Very eighties feel about this driving game complete with night tracks and lovely ladies. Includes a bonus disk jammed with foxy felines hot enough to warrant a yellow label warning. Unfortunately, the quality of the FMV footage on the bonus disk is poor without the Saturn MPEG card being installed, but it still runs without one. Developed by Genki, there was another version of this same game done by Pack In, but that uses anime characters instead.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Falling into the survival horror genre as unnerving events unfold on the small island containing the seven mansions. Unlike one of its more infamous franchises rooms can be viewed fully thanks to the various options including third person perspective. It also features a two player simultaneous mode to set it apart from the competition. Good bosses to tackle as players explore the mansions solving puzzles. Also known as Seven Mansions.
Mega Drive
Sports
Plenty of thrills and oil spills in this overhead F1 treat backed by legendary racer Nakajima. Rev heads will rejoice at the fast paced action.
Sega Saturn
Sports
3D take on driving with polygon based vehicles and tracks. Perhaps Time Warner spent much of Race Drivin’s development time perfecting Taromaru..? Still it was a very ambitious project with the original being entirely polygon based on a platform requiring programmer imagination to squeeze good 3D out of the hardware. Perhaps thats why there is also a sprite based mode..? Plenty of nostalgia for fans of the series and Atari. Fondly loved in the arcades.
