A highly collectable Saturn title that is more like a digital magazine with horoscopes, guides to popular spots such as restaurants, a cosplay market with digitised photos, fashions from the streets etc.
Madcap mayhem with up to eight players competing for dominance in the various off the wall mini games. Makes great use of the light gun and mouse which not many titles can claim. Fun variation between the games too making this well worthy of a place in a collection needing something other than smooth 2D fighters and blister inducing shooters.
Side scrolling shooting action as mechs go cockpit to cockpit with nicely rendered fighters and smooth backgrounds that smoke away in the background adding to the at war feel. Players also take to space similar to Cybernator, but the fight action is closer combat. The slick anime cut scenes are a given with Bandais backing.
Draws strongly on Japanese culture with traditional, cheery tunes filling the air as Momotarou makes his way round the gaming board. Features a fine opening sequence as our hero takes on the giant Kabuki mask wearing Momotarou monster.
Takes a moody approach to the table top game with its heavy metal soundtrack and mystery monk figure drifting around the intro, besides the vocal interludes. But the table themselves are well thought out and further impress on the good work of Last Gladiator in this accomplished sequel.
A visual novel with fine voice acting and plenty of anime humour in the emotional reactions of the Evangelion protagonists. Varied locales from vending machines, convenience stores, the school and train home.
Gets those French Fries laced with salt and watch the drink sales soar. Nothing too fried too close to the big roller coasters though as no one wants to see what their fellow park attendees have been having for lunch. Genre breaking title to treat gamers with an eye for the unusual.
A real treat from Sonic Team which blew away the boundaries defining what a game should be. Whereas some derided the scoring system, it provides a truly free flying gaming experience.
Nobunaga was an iron fisted shogun known by the famous haiku ‘If the bird doesn’t sing, kill it!’ This is a strategy war based game involving seizing control of ancient Japan.
Newspaper back pages are often dedicated to the man Nomo (despite him plying his trade in America), so it’s only natural that we have a Saturn game for him. A realistic Sega Sports title, packed full of Major League players and stats.
Red label warning in this hentai adventure known as ‘The People of Nonomura Hostpital’. One for the nurse fans then. These kind of games don’t get translated for Western markets, so if you wish to play invest in a kanji dictionary!
Quite a cheesey title adding to its retro charm with the trio of heroines possessing the power to change into the Omakase (leave it to us) Savers. The FMV acting is all very tongue in cheek, but beneath the FMV gloss lies a very sound RPG which sees the schoolgirls soon deep in adventure.
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.
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.

Jaw dropping visuals and a story whose threads gently wrap around you before you realise you are cocooned in it. Whilst gameplay is on the rails the 360 degree firing range makes it feel unrestricted as you fly against hordes of critters to drop them from the sky. A Saturn must have title that announced the new generations arrival.
Held with very high esteem amongst the Genki Team, Sega once again delivers more palm perspiring action. The strength of the Panzer brand can be seen in it’s enduring love ensuring it got an X Box release.
Super deformed Ultraman and pals themed puzzler in which you must align capsules to make a chain. Some very satisfying combos possible in a game that slowly gets its hooks into you as you get used to the unusual, yet refreshing, style.
Sound pinball game which avoids being over ambitious in keeping the full table view at all times rather than zooming in on a specific section making multi balls work a treat. Good table designs and cheery, pool room style tunes.
Risque girl on girl fighting game originally on the Super Famicom, all aspects of the title have been improved as you’d expect. The developers have also tweaked the saucy-ness factor in the move away from Nintendo with it now warranting a yellow over 18’s badge from Sega.
An off shoot of the series with this disk focusing on the Japanese ‘kogyaru'(from ‘dark’ and ‘girl’ fashion phenomena of dark skin with light eye make up. Packed full of photos, FMV footage and kogyaru themed mini games making this a must for the ‘Fruits’ savvy fashion fan.
