Here we have all the games in the Shop Section.
PS2
RPG
Capcom revisitings its old school Final Fight mechanics as you fight through the various dungeons to reach the boss in reassuringly familiar style. But the environs are as stylish as the three in game characters each with their own particular expertise in martial arts. An all action, ‘fighting RPG’ full of thrills.
Switch
RPG
Very modern looking RPG in terms of its unusual, yet effective and striking, visual look. The combat allows the players to get involved and show-off a move or two. Characters futures are affected by the in game decisions.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Beautifully animated sprites give this board game a wonderful isometric appearance. Fantasy Japanese creativity at its best.
Playstation

Bonus disk to the well-loved series with beautifully animated sprites that give this board game a wonderful isometric appearance. Fantasy Japanese creativity at its best.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Fantasy themed card trading sequel to the Saturn version improving on the gameplay, as well as the graphics as you’d expect, with some very tidy effects.
Mega Drive
Shoot Em Up
Strangely compelling horizontal shooter in the R – Type mode. Vivid use of colour and jammed with all manner of foe, the cover warns appropriately of the disturbing contents inside. Incidentally this fine cover is from the team who designed the inlay for the Mega CD title Third World War.
Nintendo 64
RPG
Import only exclusive title in which you battle robots but can also customise the main body, legs, gun, bomb and special weapon to last longer. Easy to see why this game was so popular in Japan sparking a sequel with some light RPG elements to distract from the heavy metal fights.

Nintendo DS
Action
Action RPG which allows players to customise their robots parts and battle them against fellow challengers. With around fifty robots and one hundred and fifty parts there’s a lot here to keep the master mechanics medalling. But the crux of the action is in the battles with well-designed arenas allowing for the mother of all robot wars. A tactical element emerges with the right weapon required to counter your opponents strategy: be it snipering from afar or charging in on you double quick. And its worrying easy to get attached to the robot relishing the after battle reward of a stylus rub down. Known in Japan as Gekitou Custom Robo.
Gamecube
Action
Superb update of the N64 version in which you battle robots but can also customise the main body, legs, gun, bomb and special weapon to last longer. Easy to see why this game was so popular in Japan with some light RPG elements to distract from the heavy metal fights. Quite collectable too on the format.
PC Engine HU Card
Sports
Futuristic dodgeball susbstituting robots for human players in a similar vein to Soccer Brawl on the Neo-Geo.

Miscellaneous Hardware
Console
Goodness gracious. A console that can play Famicom, Super Famicom, SNES (both PAL and NTSC), GameBoy, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, Genesis, Mega Drive (Pal and NTSC, though Mark III would require a Mega Adaptor), PC Engine, Turbo Grafx and PC Engine Super Grafx games. That’s over nine thousand compatible games. The controller adapter allows keen gamers to use the original pads on the machine for that authentic feel. Games can be downloaded onto the machine with a Micro SD Card and then they can be taken around a friends house. Upscaling makes many never looking so fine. Also allows patches to be applied to games.
PC Engine HU Card
RPG
Science fiction futuristic take on the RPG, think of Ys in space with not a fair maiden in sight. Lasers should be set to kill with all the battles which help to gain the vital experience points, but with expansive levels as grand as space itself, interesting sub plots and great combat mechanics this is a fine PC Engine RPG.
Super Famicom
RPG
Mecha based RPG makes a refreshing graphical revamp from the more traditional staple. Turn based combat against some mean machines with fine effects for the attacks on opponents.
GameBoy Color
Shooter
Colourful gun and run as the player must jump platform style obstacles whilst keeping the crosshair with enemies firmly in the sights. Subtitled White Woods.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Jaw dropper in the pre-Saturn release media presentations. Kenji Endo’s opus is full of turns and twists and strange events. Don’t play before bed!
Playstation
RPG
Kenji Eno’s opus caused a real stir in the gaming world at the time of its release. This game involves choosing various options such as to open a drawer or door to try and get to the bottom of why Laura’s father has murdered a patient in the hospital he works. Unnerving action at times as the gaming world warps like a psychotic episode.
Dreamcast
RPG
The original D represented a key period in gaming history before the 3DO went critical, without which would we have had Silent Hill or Biohazard? Kenji Eno san delves into the dreaded “Interactive Movie” genre but the results are no early CD rom dirge. Disturbed and depraved survival horror from the Canadian outlands.

Kenji Eno san delves into the dreaded “Interactive Movie” genre but the results are incomparable to early Mega CD releases. Disturbed and depraved survival horror from the Canadian outlands.
Famicom Disk System
Action
A superb Nihon centric title as our hero (looking like a Shaolin priest) launches a series of slight of foot attacks: leaping ninja like between tile like platforms and dispatching fireballs in the direction of silent assassin adversaries. Plenty of hidden power ups to give a welcome boost to the quest that has a mystic, Buddhist feel to proceedings. Certainly the giant statue head has a oriental look: but dont admire for too long as its tongue comes out and it jumps around the screen. Known by its full title of Meiwaku Jiin Dababa.
Merchandise
Guide Book
Lists over ten thousand hints with a breakdown of the games release date and genre alongside a brief synopsis across some fine genres such as the N64, Super Famicom, Virtual Boy, PC Engine, Saturn, Mega Drive, Playstation and Neo Geo with thousands of titles listed. A real gamers bible in Japan.
Super Famicom
RPG
Capturing the essence of the golden 16Bit era of Super Famicom platformers with the shrunk down character sprites and expansive gaming world realised in intensive detail in the dark caves and vibrant towns. The effort put into production adds to the feel of a real gem twinking like one of the treasures in the cavernous underground labyrinths.
GameBoy Color
Simulation
Sequel to the popular Super Famicom version, this handheld update takes a card-based combat approach. Great characters in the Hudson mould. Subtitled The Miracle of The Zone.
PC Engine HU Card
Shoot Em Up
WWII themed shooter with solid play mechanics and plenty of tanks to blow up and battleships to sink. You can also call in the squadron to help out when in a fix. Originally a Hu Card release also given a CD Rom update. Conversion of this title known as Twin Hawk in the arcades was licensed from shoot ’em up fanatics Toaplan.
Sega Saturn
Puzzle
The Japanese title translates as ‘Big Tile Fort’, a puzzle game using the mahjong tiles.
Famicom Cart
Action
Side scrolling platform shooting levels that may have been the inspiration for Cybernator (or Assault Suits Valken) and look lush on the vintage architecture. Gameplay also includes strategic elements as players steer their ship to the next planet and arrange their fleet for the turn based combat.
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
Plethora of zany characters from the anime hero Dam Dam to a fish head on legs which have to jump on each others shadows to win the bout. A glimpse of the creativity Sony harnesses when its developers are given a free reign.
