Playstation
Simulation
Train up your chose Chocobo from cute little fledgling to champion race stallion in this twist on the horse racing game. Great for fans of Squaresoft.
Playstation
Shooter
Light gun game full of fun and a real pleasure to play as a result. The conversion doesn’t betray its arcade roots and the levels are zippy with players being thrown into the fray to stop a car heading straight for them, keep a can up in the air in a shooting version of keepy upy or shooting the fleeces off poor sheep that scamper by. Known in the West as Point Blank 2.
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
2D fighter looking fine on the PSX: souped up in this EX Edition so it can conjure the magic of the arcade without breaking into sweat or slowdown. Seeing the huge Juggernaut in fluid action must bring a smile to the face of Capcom’s head honcho.
Super Famicom
One on One Beat Em Up
Martial arts mayhem requiring no introduction. With such brilliant characterisation, attention to detail on the small screen and finely honed play mechanics its easy to see how Street Fighter swept the world.
Super Famicom
Platform
Also known as Genjin, this wee man has to rate as one of the coolest and talented game characters around. Spin, head slide, bite, climb trees and waterfalls, perform rhythmic gymnastics, turn into a bird, a drill, an angel, even a tank to help deal with some even more zany adversaries. Putting the fun back into gaming.
Super Famicom
Sports
Bring up your wee foal to become a champion stallion. Just don’t hang around with the shady characters at the Tokyo Race Course too much though…
Super Famicom
Platform
Putting the fun back into gaming, Konami expertly combines tight platform sections and clever 3D effect bosses with exploring the hospitable towns to stock up on octopus dumplings and rice balls. Its hard not to smile taking control of the rampant Impact Robo and running riot. The resulting explosive mixture is a firework of intense and long lasting beauty – a real gem in the series and a must have Super Famicom title.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Footage, sound clips, mini games and merchanising that was wowing gamers back in the Tokyo 97 game show. Players collect cards for their files and each card reveals some fine footage from the epoch defining anime series.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
With graphics as fluid as old man Shun’s drunken style kung – fu, jaws dropped over the huge leap from the predecessor to make this the series finest hour?
Sega Saturn
RPG
Fans of the great Shining Wisdom series will not be disappointed with Working Designs great update. The sickly sweet sprite world draws you in for an epic, Zelda like adventure.
Sega Saturn
Action
One of both Treasure’s and the Saturn’s jewels in the crown with the Saturn effortlessly throwing giant sprites around like Big Daddy and Treasure’s programming entering an even higher echelon. A true delight to behold.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Plays like a Jackie Chan film without the excessive fighting as players take the role of a Chinese detective on the trail of a murderer in downtown Hong Kong. Plenty of signs to set the scene and a great stereotyped chief with cigarette never too far from his moustached mouth. Plenty of friction between the player and his lovely assistant but its all in a good days work for Kowloon’s finest.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Could the Saturn have beaten the Playstation had this release been the version ‘Remix’ was? Still sold by the bucketload. AM2 flexing it’s Naomi board porting muscles.
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
Sequel to the original 94 release and mean fighter, but actually the first conversion to the PSX. Plenty of specials and a guest appearance of Neo Geo Land, Japan as one of the stages. The dark and moody Korean stage with rain lashing down and burning tree gets Genki’s vote though. The game zips along even if the loading times aren’t quite as fast missing the Saturns extra cart.
Dreamcast
RPG
Released with the console itself, spooky adventure based in London in a similar mould to “D”. A collectors item as one of the first Dreamcast releases.
PC Engine Super CD ROM
Shoot Em Up
Seven levels in all in this verticle blaster with a well crafted organic feel in contrast to the usual space stations. The sea level is also worthy of a mention for squeezing every drop out of the Engine hardware so well. Some cracking power ups but they are drip fed to you in game to make sure they are fully appreciated. The ship is capable of bulking up to looking more like a mechanical cicada insect. A very tidy, if little known, shooter underlining Telenet’s cult popularity.
Dreamcast
One on One Beat Em Up
Welcomed sequel to the atmospheric samurai slasher set during the Meiji restoration in Japan’s modernisation. Includes new fatality moves subtly executed with the series distinct style. And with it being samurai based there are lethal weapons to utilise. Adds deflect moves to the equation: rather than blocking outright, players can deflect an attack leaving their opponent wide open to a counter. Fine attention to detail in the backgrounds with even the puddles making splashes as the fighters square up to each other. The lavishly illustrated manual looks like it was drawn by Hokusai and similar high art can be found in the games gallery.
Dreamcast
One on One Beat Em Up
Until released it never was truly believed that such an otaku’s dream of Ryu vs Terry Bogart battles would actually become a reality. Two of the giants of the 2D one on one combat world locking horns has never been such fun.
PS2
Simulation
A turn-based combat game making great use of the fabulous characters on offer from Namco and Capcom. Its hard to choose but Valkyrie from Namco and Strider from Capcom are two fine avatars brought to life with slick animation and superb voice acting. Great to meet them all in greater depth.
Playstation
Simulation
Fantastic attention to detail, particularly with the mechs that battle it out before your eyes in this fine continuation of the series that sells itself to non strategy fans due to its gradual learning curve. Visit towns to chat and bulk up your firepower at the local shop with some serious kit on offer.
Playstation
Action
Builds the tension up slowly like the original Jurassic Park film and then cranks up the sweaty palm factor just when your least expecting it. Some great cinematic quality moments Spielberg would be proud of.
