Famicom Cart
Action
RPG elements in the way the mystic, spiritual world is explored inter-spliced with side scrolling boss levels where the demon must be levelled by the sword. Known in Japan as Ankoku Shinwa.
Famicom Cart
RPG
Explore the vast gaming world in what looks like a deep sea divers suit, more likely a space suit with Jarvas having come from the future.
Famicom Cart
Platform
More shurikens than you could shake a stick at as this ninja themed platformer journeys through feudal Japan and into the spiritual realm at times too. Imaginative levels such as the extending and contracting bamboo pole section and bizarre bosses drawing on Japanese ghosts and folk stories.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Collectable sample version that draws on legendary Chinese characters and a couple from its own silk sleeve of fighting titles to add extra characters and soup up the graphical appearance. Fine fight mechanics and a good ol’ 2D game of fisticuffs.
PC Engine HU Card
RPG
Played from the cockpit of a Mech with the view being out into the tunnels in which scores are settled with alien and enemy troops. Its possible to visit the shop to stock up on new kit, get a few repairs with the mechanic or even get oiled at the bar. Success mean the release of a Playstation version too.
PS2
One on One Beat Em Up
Including a character named Tony Tony Chopper, you’d be excused for thinking this a 70’s top flight football game. Yet as anime experts will be well aware, One Piece is based on an invigorating nautical quest to find the legendary treasure. Grand Battle 3 boasts sixteen playable characters and seven stages all full of the series high tension energy. The arenas open up as the fight requires and the look is distinctive and very slick. A title to treasure.
Playstation
RPG
With a mightily impressive full 3D polygon world, Konami produced a sleek RPG to cast a spell over Square. But as all good RPGers worth their hit points know it’s the story where such titles flourish or fall on their sword and the crack Nagoya team has come up trumps again. Full of tactical, strategic battles with a sense of foreboding and menace that all is not well in the Vandal Hearts world.
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
Collectable demo disk of the fine Playstation release in which superlatives fail to touch on the sheer brilliance of this 2D fighting game. A worthy rival to Street Fighter and Capcom, yet not quite as popular possibly down to the special move controls.
Playstation
Sports
Demo version of the popular Genki series of street racing that takes place once the sun goes down and the smell of unburnt hydrocarbons fill the air as the neon starts to flicker. Only released as a promotion, so not given a full release.
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
A nice collectable for Playstation and Toshinden fans as Playstation Magazine promoted the release of Toushinden 2 in Japan.
Super Famicom
Sports
A nice discovery in a tennis game that makes players destroy opponents blocks on their side of the court in a Break-Out style. An array of players from our hero dog with mallet for a racket, to dog with bone for a racket and even a girl with a racket. Some strange locales as well that may not get approved by the LTS such as the haunted arena. Full title: Heisei Inu Monogatari Bow Pop N Smash.
Super Famicom
Simulation
Build and run your very own high school. Thought must first go into the building planning, then into how to make the students improve in the subjects they are struggling in. Sports days allow or some good old button bashing and holidays mean for trips to the seaside.
PS4
Shooter
The survival battle action of the like of FortNite where players can co-operate or go it alone, Rambo-style against the hordes of zombie invaders. The use of materials to build bases or block gunfire is a must, along with unleashing brutal bursts of firepower, but the use of stealth in chucking a grenade or using the sniper rifle is a nod to the Metal Gear license.
Nintendo 64
Shooter
Fantasy first person shooter with appropriately eerie music and dark, dank cavernous levels where switches must be activated to progress. Plenty of weapons to help and they are needed with many a beasty hid behind secret doors.
Mega Drive
Simulation
A Sega strategy title that allows you to choose you characters for your team and then use superior tactics to defeat your rivals.
GameBoy Original
Action
Bomberman style action where players use carefully placed bombs to take down opponents and clear the stage. Care must be taken to not back yourself into a corner with a ticking bomb for company. The levels become more and more devious as progress is made, but never unfair. Known as Atomic Punk in America and Dynablaster in Europe.
GameBoy Color
Rhythm
Anime themed take on the Beatmania series where players must hit the right button in time to the right notes to help clear the screen.
Sega Hardware
Controller
Nice fit and useful turbo and autofire feature besides the slow motion setting to get through a real tight fix.
PS2
One on One Beat Em Up
Stunningly cel shaded bringing the high energy of the Dragon Ball series out to delight fans of the series. Combatants take an over the shoulder perspective on goings on and the 3D world can be used to dodge an assault. Little compares to using one of the over the top projectile attacks and sending your opponent crashing through a building or mountain with the brute force.
PS2
Action
Genki is certainly grateful Alphonse is on our side: a definite first pick in the playground such is the tough exterior of our robotic chum with a human heart. Some great scenarios such as bombing along on the back of a train like in all great Westerns. Hats off to this all action cowboy. Subtitled Tobenai Tenshi in Japan.
Brilliant Nintendo Hardware
Controller
Sticks to the fine layout of the SFC original, but also has a special mode for use with Garou Densetsu 2 to allow simple execution of special moves. Overall a very smooth pad is jet black finish.
