Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
This Ultimate version keeps true to its 16 Bit predecessors and utilises the extra processing power to make the game engine move swifter and looking more spiffing with some fine sound effects thrown in for the real enjoyment of the anime devotee. A tasty into whets the appetite with some smoothly animated introduction from the DBZ world. The balanced level of ambition to the graphical approach leaves a very playable title, not only for the series fan, but also those who enjoy a flurry of furious fists every now and then in their gaming.
Super Famicom
RPG
Small towns in idyllic situations, similar to those in How to Train Your Dragon, are under attack in a game that feels like an ancient buildings version of Sim City with a strategic battle element in dispatching forces including the fabled dragons.
Super Famicom
Platform
Platform action based on the Dragons Lair characters and capturing all the colourful, cartoony cheer and humour of it adding in the important ingredient of gameplay as players leap from platform to moving platform tossing axes into the mull.
Switch
Shoot Em Up
Claustrophobic caverns and tunnels under gigantic bosses as they skim overhead make for an intense experience. A feel of Darius’ organic amphibious bosses and superb attention to pixel perfect detail.

Playstation
Simulation
A high end Playstation project with incredibly detailed animation and dramatic voice acting to crank up the tension, not that it particularly needs it at time.
Mega Drive
Platform
Popular platform shooting that oozes atmosphere with heavy, leaden skies making up the parallax scrolling. The sprite world is full of rich imagination and the artists were in inspired form with the fantasy bosses and baddies. Known as Risky Woods in the West.

The Dream Club is a hostess bar where you can buy the girls drinks, chat, watch them get a bit woozy after too many drinks, enjoy a song and perhaps even treat them to a present or two on a date outside the club? Attentive gamers will flourish as the girls reveal secrets after too many cocktails and that knowledge will help answer tricky queries and win over their heart.

Accessory
Sadly the Dreamcast ran out of time before the merits of this fine three megapixel camera and webcam could be fully exploited. Still it remains a nice collectors item, even if it brings out a sigh as to what could have been. The headphones aren’t quite out of Space Channel, but still look fine (if not as good as Ulala’s.)
Dreamcast
A Bit Special
For the completist only as the Dreamcast online servers are now down making this email and web server of curio value only. Though there is a nice looking Shenmue picture postcard amongst others available recommending itself to thr true Sega aficionado.
Merchandise
Magazine
Players may well head straight for the DVD included along with double sided poster posing the tricky conundrum of Dead or Alive’s Kazumi or Makoto Aihara or Ms. Spencer from Rumble Roses. The DVD has footage of Ridge Racer 6, Onimush and Sega Rally along with briefer glimpses of Renegade, Capcom Classics Collection, Rumble Roses, Gunstar Heroes and Street Fighter Zero 3. The magazine is multi format and Dreamcast shooters Under Defeat and Radirgy get a brief look in. Also known as Dorimaga from the abbreviated Japanese.
Dreamcast
A Bit Special
One for the collectors with the networks sadly defunct. Yet it delivered to a gaming public the happy days of chat with fellow Dc users, email, the additional contents of Dricas, the Dreamcast Home Page and of course those epic PSO battles and friendships.

Sports
Utilising its smooth flowing NBA engine, EA created a truly dream title with the incredible talents of Jordan, Johnson, Bird, Berkley et al that made up the 92 USA Olympic team. Its possible to select the best of the rest of the world team, but even with the cream of every other nation its tough to match their talents.
Dreamcast

A feisty demo disk with playable samples of Cool Boarders Burrrn, Shutoko Battle, Sonic Adventure International, Soul Calibur and Chu Chu Rocket. Also featured are movie demos of Shenmue, Space Channel 5, Dream Flyer, Virtua Striker 2 and Seaman.

Cable
For the Dreamcast collector who wants it all: the individually sold modem cable in its original Dreamcast branded box. Alas memories are all that is left of the days when Phantasy Star Online and a fresh faced innocent bunch of online gamers hit it off.

Controller
The only way to play Pop N Music as the makers intended. Fiddly and frustrating at times on the joypad, this dedicated controller soon become intuitive and most importantly fun. A massive series in Japan but to really appreciate its many merits, it takes this controller.

A well designed steering wheel from Sega to make racing games far more enjoyable. The wheel tightens up as you steer to extremes and sits nicely back to the centre. Buttons and throttles are well positioned making it hard to fault this AM2 inspired wheel. Theres even a VMU slot for fastest times and this controller should help you clock up a few.

The best way to get the party started with these official maracas for use with the Samba De Amigo series. Its no slur on Sega though to say sometimes its more fun to watch the participant rather than the on screen action. Quite hard to track down these days.
