Famicom Cart
Action
The nyan of the title refers to the meow noise a cat makes and our feline friend plays up to dog stereotypes by trapping hapless dogs in manholes that they walk right into round the town.
Famicom Cart
Action
Classic title from a golden era of gaming where players take on the role of knight tasked with clearing mazes. Set apart by Namcot’s flair for appealing sprite graphics and some fine gameplay blending quick thinking and fast pacing to create a title as loved today in updates such as this and on virtual consoles.
Famicom Cart
Shooter
Vertical scrolling shooting action bringing that arcade feel home to the Famicom that dominated homes from Honshu to Okinawa.
PC Engine Super CD ROM
RPG
Sprawling RPG the likes of which gets fans of the genre twitching with excitement as players explore from the dank dungeons, across fiery lava caverns, via the more assuring surrounds of the local town to the peaks of an icy mountain. Telenet have their own distinctive style both in terms of graphics and gameplay and it comes across as very refreshing as a result.
Mega CD
Shoot Em Up
Giddy, on the rails shooting action which works well and looks very impressive on the Mega CD. Unrelenting action as your ship skims the surface of far away planets. Not for those who suffer from motion sickness. Starfox for the Sega CD.
Nintendo 64
Platform
Miyamoto san’s masterpiece was well worth the wait creating the dream world where anything seems possible he often refers to in interviews. Genki loves to challenge that penguin to one more bob sled ride down the mountain and to splash around in the gloriously realised sea. Will bring a smile to the face of the most grizzled of gaming veterans. With added rumble feature to enhance the overall experience, if that is possible.
Nintendo 64
Platform
Three Dimension update of the series that seems from another dimension at times, but thats why we love it. Has a great feel of a Japanese town of old as you meander around the streets chewing tako yaki and small talk with the residents. The Japanese version is also the full version with no subtle changes. God bless Goemon. Full Japanese title: ‘Ganbare Goemon Neo Momoyama Bakufu no Odori.’ Known as Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon in the West.
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.
Nintendo 64
Sports
System exclusive that uses expansively wide dirt tracks to be really able to savour a power slide. Good reflections of the clouds and skies on the car windscreen and a good level of roadside detail. Its ultimate selling point is probably the ability to be able to take short cuts: a much underused cheat for racing games.
Nintendo Hardware
Controller
A fine example of ergonomics against perhaps style in this Nintendo 64 controller.
PC Engine HU Card
Sports
Overhead perspective racing game where competitors jostle for position. Get left too far behind and rather than scroll out you get bumped up to the pace automatically. However too many bump ups and you have to retire. Slick presentation and prize money to buy upgrades, but multiplayer is where its really at.
PC Engine HU Card
Sports
Bases loaded in Namco’s original version of it’s big hitting baseball series. A home run for the Engine.
PC Engine HU Card
Sports
This overhead perspective racing game tests your reflexes to the max. Rev heads will relish its fast paced gameplay.

Motorbike racing game with two player spilt screen challenges possible. Some well designed courses to choose from including Irem Osaka, Fuji, and the legendary Suzuka.

In the immortal words of Master Onion: “Kick, punch – its all in the mind.” Some huge pugalists match up in this traditional kung fu fest. One of the earliest Engine games released at the same time as the PC Engine.
Mega CD
A Bit Special
Sega’s humour may not be to all tastes, but this release proved successful enough to warrant a PS2 remake. Known as Panic in the West.
PC Engine HU Card
Sports
Cartoon graphics in this full of frolics arcade style golf game.
Sega Hardware
Console
A delightful machine full of the love that Sega always gave to all its consoles and with plenty of madcap peripherals that may have lead to its downfall as a hardware producer. From an era of innocent gaming comes a delightfully simple console.
