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.
Dreamcast
Sports
Very appealing graphics with more curves than a championship F1 girl and all the official sponsors in there. Good handling and an impressive early DC race title that deserves a good spray of champagne.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
The prequel to the yellow label ‘Bakuretsu Hunter R’ is alot tamer, but still plenty to recommend here to anime fans.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Bright eyed, bushy tailed participants make for a fun summer of frolics and deep friendship in the Japanese countryside. Just dont forget to bring your lunch box kindly made by your aunt.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
A monolithic hit on the PC appealing to non gaming gamers with its simple interface and lack of gaming knowledge required to enter its mists. Has an eerie atmosphere that builds as the puzzles increase in difficulty.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Anime style graphics and sweet voice acting bring this off beat title to life. Welcome to the tweaked, saucy, crazy, cosmic, Sci Fi world of Yuna – Galaxy Fraulein.
Dreamcast
RPG
Never receiving a Western release, the title allows you to play as a ninja amongst other professions – always a good thing. Popular in Japan.
PS2
Action
Beautiful combination of the skills of the anime artists to draw cel shaded sprites with dynamic effects and intriguing locales to really bring the animated series to life. The tag option works well and adds much depth and fun to the frolics.
PS2
Action
Tecmo proves there’s more strings to its bow than those of its bikini clad beach volleyball playing babes with this update of the arcade cracker Rygar. Set in an ancient European world the environs and adversaries are inspired by Greek and Roman mythology creating an unusual setting for an action extravaganza. Plus the scenery can often be altered with a whack from Rygar’s retractable chain and ball to open up new potential routes. Reminiscent of the seminal Jason and the Argonauts in parts, Rygar delivers superb action gameplay topped up with a couple of light cerebral challenges.
PS2
Rhythm
Takes on Konamis mighty DDR series but with a pop music approach incorporating Britney, Back Street Boys and of course Steps, along with tracks such as GhostBusters, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Galaxy Express 999. Cheesy background videos add to the thrashy feel but it all works well as players use either pad or mat to get in the groove.
Playstation
A Bit Special
As apartment manager you must maintain the harmony by juggling the various positive and negative effects of tenants ranging from cat owning old ladies to cowboys and ninja’s. Get it right and you receive a hefty thank you payment after the tenant has stayed for two years. But watch for squatters trying to cause a riot!
PS2
Action
Played as a doctor who works part time as a very effective assassin set in Edo. In the true honourable style of the chanbara (period samurai drama) the good doctor works hard during the day learning of the injustices in town before using the sword to slice up some rough justice at night. Crafted by those master swordsmen who created both Bushido Blade and Kengo so the samurai credentials are unquestionable.
PS2
Action
All is far from well in Racoon City. The finest Resident Evil title on the Dreamcast complete with added story scenes. Well worthy of a PS2 version with the DC original being a Japan only release.
PS2
A Bit Special
Innovative, if a little off- kilter, ‘Ka’ is played through the eyes of a mosquito trying to get a good feed. The much-maligned insect can fly freely within the room to close in on a human occupant and try and hit one of the sweet spots suitable for feeding. Unfortunately the family, on holiday in Hawaii, are aware of your humming presence and will lash out if flying too close or the blood isn’t efficiently pinched with a tight joypad rotation. Interesting scenarios with the mother preparing dinner and the slightly voyeuristic section with the hot weather. Sony again delivers another genre bending title. Just keep away from the smoking mosquito coils, no matter how tempting they look.
Nintendo 64
Sports
Fully licensed J League football game utilising all the madcap mascots from Japan’s top flight in a realistic approach to the beautiful game with visuals that shows EA means business. Makes good use of crossing – an integral part of any match but often overlooked in games of this genre. The cup option often comes as a welcome distraction when struggling on the brink of relegation to J1.
