Dreamcast
Simulation
Meet the ladies of Pocket Kano and get to comment on their apartments and the like. But its best to avoid tongue in cheek comments which may fall flat. As tempting as it may be.
Mega CD
Simulation
A thoroughly crazed mahjong sequel full of mad characters with a guest appearance of that well known mahjong master ET! ‘ET reach!’ Subtitled Struggle in the Tokyo Mahjongland and also known as Selfish Gambler.
Mega CD
Simulation
A Wolf Team collectable which sees you governing over the population and kingdom to hopefully bring prosperity. Related to the massive Romance in the Three Kingdoms Koei series.
Sega Saturn

Giant mechs wrestling for supremacy in this finely tuned sequel. Carefully select your team depending on the task ahead to dominate earth and space.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Design a fun park for the monkey to enjoy with race track, rollerball track, swimming pool and the like for entertainment for our simian friend.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Panic Chan and Trouble Chan star in this OVA anime adventure packed full with plenty of doe eyed characters and more high jinx than Maison Ikkoku with a cheeky nod to Star Trek.
Playstation
Rhythm
Far better to practise in the comfort of your own home before unleashing your moves on the arcade groupies. Genki keeps the curtains firmly shut when grooving and gyrating, for now…
Mega CD
Shooter
This on the rails helicopter shooter was an early Mega CD release from an era when FMV was the requisite of a CD format release. Still expertly executed and a pleasurable blast with the copter requiring some limited control too.
PS2
RPG
This instalment goes some way towards explaining the obsession with all things Dragons Quest in Japan: the bird song, the sound of grass being trampled as the cel shaded player explores new environs, the imaginative characters, the build up of tension before a troop of Slimes attack. Fans of the series will feel right at home with this slickly executed production.
Super Famicom
Puzzle
A real retro romp with players basically matching lines of Hudson inspired characters faces such as the Aladdin inspired heads or the ghosts. Strangely compelling with the main gimmick being the base cart remains the same whilst the smaller cart fitting into the slot can be interchanged. The title is a pun on the characters for shark (same) and turtle (game.)
NEO GEO CD
One on One Beat Em Up
Darker third installment from the Garapagos team with many new characters and more damaging specials. Loved by some, others resented the increased damage level decreasing bout time. Still slicing an opponent brings a worrying degree of satisfaction.
PSP
RPG
Keeps up the series impeccable presentation with the cute characters, over the top reactions to success or defeat and some devilishly designed courses looking ever so stunning on the small screen. You can almost feel the sun on your back teeing off on a sunny day with the birds singing. Thankfully includes a putting practise mode to hone your skills on. Best shots can be saved too a la Virtua Striker allowing you to show off your eagle. Perfect way to whittle away long journeys. Known also by its English name of Everybody’s Golf.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
A compilation of the good bits from the Yukyu series with mini games and plenty of footage for fans. The anime is exquisite: possibly due to being hand drawn with rich colours and toe tapping tunes. Media collection based on the Yukyu series with bonus features when used in conjunction with either the Twin Operator or the Movie Card.
Sega Saturn
A Bit Special
Plenty of samples, demos and information to showcase the Saturns merits and releases with Series of Dreams, Telecom Town and the Sega Saturn Masterpiece Collection vying for the dedicated Saturn fans attention.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Sunsoft has fine arcade heritage and a history of fin mahjong games and both are on show here as gamers enjoy a fine table simulation that heavily emphasises the Chinese nature of the game. Three playable versions: Shikinjoh, Rong Rong and Shanghai.
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
Features solid looking contestants realised in full 3D and looking very good for it with full 3D backgrounds and sizeable fighter models doing justice to their real life dimensions. Xing once again show their hand as cunning Playstation programmers. Subtitled K1 Grand Prix.
Super Famicom
Simulation
Battle simulation take on the fun and fairly familiar face of DragonBall. Players select their special moves and battle through the healthy number of willing opponents all realised in a very appropriate isometric style. The cut scenes also capture the essence of the anime series.
Famicom Cart
Shoot Em Up
Players charge along the lunar or desert landscapes with a keen trigger finger a requisite to progress. The impression of motion is very nicely done and the land based sections are spliced with horizontally scrolling shoot em up levels.
Sega Saturn
Sports
Well crafted kick around with four player mode a scream, although as such unlikely to be contributing much to the Respect campaign. Utilises world teams and the game engine has a good balance of arcadey feel with varied goal scoring.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Battle mech against mech through various arenas as Sega’s in house programmers work wizardry using the Saturns 2D and 3D architecture. Not quite arcade perfect, but pushes the Saturn to the limits without going to far and causing slowdown.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Rather off kilter adventure with plenty of FMV sequences as you solve puzzles and gain necessary items such as oil for a rusty door to progress. Its not until the second disk that things start going a bit astray though. Impressive attention to the graphics from Sega. Known in the West as Lunacy. Full title ‘Gekka Mugentan Torico.’
