“Based on the artwork of H.R. Giger.” A dark and moody RPG in the Dungeons & Dragons mould. A must for fans of Alien.

Whilst the AM2 Team made a valiant effort, Daytona USA wasn’t quite up to its Model 2 arcade big brother in terms of graphics. Yet more importantly the gameplay remained perfectly intact. If only Genki could get that cursed fruit machine to pay up…
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Kazumi and co lock horns in the original Dead or Alive. A true classic on the Saturn. Revisited by Team Ninja for a make over proving well balanced gameplay withstands the test of time.
Sega Saturn
Shooter
Claustrophobic answer to Kileak the Blood on the Playstation as the dytopic future is invested with plenty of firepower from the mechas armoury. The first person, cockpit view from the mech works a treat and adds to the tension with nice attention to detail as interference affects the monitor view.
Sega Saturn
Sports
ST-V arcade athletics fest made a real impression on the Saturn with smooth polygon graphics and all the button bashing thrills and spills of the arcade. Where as running events are simple button bashers, timing on the hurdles for example requires precision jumping and a break from frantic button pummelling. Comes into its own in multiplayer.
Sega Saturn
Shooter
Cavernous underground tunnels and sprawling over land arenas to explore in this fine 3D shooter with exploratory elements. Picked up quite a following in the day.

Stimulation
Expertly realised animation shows the power of hardware in the right hands in this yellow label adventure. All is not what it seems on the island of Desire.

Sega Saturn
Simulation
Pinball game with good variation in the four tables including the Roman gladiator theme, feudal Japan theme and fantasy based themed tables keeping the accurate ball mechanics in a fresh environment. Very solid game of flipper. Just try not to nudge the TV too much in the heat of a game.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Very pleasant platform romp reminiscent of the Super Famicom in its pomp, apart from the look is souped up to suit the Saturn format and the bosses are cut loose from the second dimension!
Sega Saturn

Fantasy RPG with heavy influence on battles between warring fractions. Sega style anime graphics and multiple storylines.

Like a Miyazaki anime, ecological disaster stalks this dating sim with a look of Sakura Wars and a feel of Tokimeki Memorial. The games characters are skilled in magical arts, as if the science of romance wasn’t tricky enough.
Sega Saturn

Town management simulation set during the Edo period with period setting characters sporting the tradition haircuts and a well realised isometric town in which to chat to the townsfolk and chase geisha.
Sega Saturn

Huge intro as you’d expect from anime experts Pioneer. Makoto must use his mysterious machine to save El Hazard again.
Sega Saturn

Kenji Endo’s sequel to D certainly has its share of spooky moments onboard the space station with the eerie silence and smooth FMV clips cranking up the tension. A title that heralded the new 32 Bit era.

Beautifully illustrated anime cut scenes in this epic adventure.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
The first release from the Fatal Fury series to make it across to the Saturn and this heavyweight weighs in without a ram cart meaning a few frames of animation get lost in the conversion process from the whopping Neo Geo big brother. Still an admirable effort though as SNK come out from their corner fists flailing.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
A dream title for Sega fight fans which sees the creme of Virtua Fighter pitched head on against the elite of Fighting Vipers. Choc-a-bloc with hidden eggs which gives the game longevity comparable to VF’s Shun. Mention must go to Kumachan, a Genki legend.

Genki still enjoys the confined feel of Viper’s arenas and the delight found in smashing your opponents armour off. Japanese version contains Pepsi Man as one of the many hidden characters.

Wrestling from the kings of grapple Human. Genki wouldn’t fancy getting pinned off the Canadian judo killer Joe nor coming up against the mysterious moves of the Hong Kong Dragon God much either!

This disk has four demos from Bomberman SS, Sakura Wars, Virtua On and Tengai Makyo. A nice curio for the dedicated Saturn conehead.

Well loved series that spanned the console generations successfully with its fine, fantasy RPG gameplay and plenty of emotive moments that pull on the heart strings as much as the orchestra has pulled on the cello strings.

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.
