Super Famicom
RPG
Based on the Dungeons and Dragons series, the plot sees you on a quest to investigate a rogue beholder (basically a castle with an all seeing eye, hence the title) when the roof collapses near to the entrance trapping you inside. The on screen action is cursor driven as you select various spells, weapons and armour. Masses of foes to defeat on the quest all with a distinct fantasy look to them, be it spiders, skeletons or dogs of hell.
PS2
A Bit Special
Besides the baseball, table tennis, boxing and football goalkeeper games, the Eye Toy camera works its magic to get even non-gamers involved in air guitars, kung fu, cooking, yielding a chainsaw, drumming, popping bubbles… Full of innovation and bringing back the fun to gaming.

Nintendo 64
Sports
Takes the Super Famicom prequel to new heights which was no mean feat considering the strength of the original. Expect to be leaning into each turn as the frame rate zips along with pizzazz even with vast numbers of on screen racers in this sci fi racer. The comic style presentation also makes a refreshing change all backed by an appropriate rock soundtrack. Well worthy of the Nintendo brand.
PC Engine HU Card
Sports
This overhead perspective racing game tests your reflexes to the max. Rev heads will relish its fast paced gameplay.
PC Engine HU Card
Sports
Overhead perspective racing game that captures the essence of Formula 1 to the point where the petrol fumes and burning rubber seem to be emitted from the whining PC Engine. Best to check the step down in such instances too though.
Mega Drive
Sports
This overhead perspective racing game tests your reflexes to the max. Rev heads will relish this MD updates fast paced gameplay.
PC Engine Super CD ROM
Sports
The hum of engines accompanies this overhead speed freak which thankfully has helpfully cursors appearing to guide the driver round the right bend. As in the real sport, tactical pit stops are a must and the right tyres boosts chances of a podium finish rather than just watching the fun from below.
PC Engine HU Card
Sports
There is a nice retro feel to the grid in F1 Pilot making for a very accomplished Engine racer. Features world circuits including Brazil, Monaco, Mexico, France, Belgium, Italy, Great Britain and of course Japan.
Famicom Cart
Sports
Nintendo’s Famicom success was backed up by many superb Nintendo produced titles, besides the likes of Mario and Zelda. This formula one racer ticks all the boxes and has incredible attention to detail and presentation, as you would expect from a triple A title.
PC Engine Super CD ROM
Simulation
Lots of tweaking to the cars to be able to allow the team to savour top spot on the podium in this race simulation from the cult classic team of Laser Soft, an off-shoot of Telenet.
Dreamcast
Sports
Stunning 60 frames per second graphics on par with the coin op release, tight controls and, as the name would suggest, a real challenge to get to grips with demanding more and more from the driver to really push you to the limits. Sega has worked hard on the physics, handling, collisions and this realistic title pushes Gran Turismo right up against the guard rail with Yu Suzukifs expertise shining through like lens flare. Realistic too in the sense that braking is a must to progress, making for some slight initial teething but that is soon soothed away as you power slide to perfection.
Playstation
Simulation
Drawing deeply on Middle Eastern mythology comes a smooth war simulator which is no Tower of Babylon. Set in ancient Persia with historically sensitive setting and rekindled recently for a Playstation download.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Club mixes of some sublime Eighties chip tunes classics from the Family Computer system. Twenty toe-tapping tracks including Gradius, Ganbare Goemon, Son Son, Salamander, Twinbee, Contra, Dracula II and Ghouls and Ghosts. Geek chic at its finest.
Nintendo Hardware
Accessory
One for the real Famicom Tinkerman or for the curio collector.
Miscellaneous Hardware
Accessory
A very smart stand to show off the jewels of your cartridge collection. Works a treat with appropriate lighting, but Genki won’t be held responsible for irate partners.
Miscellaneous Hardware
Console
A clever, value hybrid console at a great entry price for starting an import collection. Utilises USB ports for the controller with an AV output, the console has three different cartridge slots for Famicom, Super Famicom and Mega Drive modes. Think of it as neutral Switzerland during the 16Bit console wars. Nice, retro Famicom colour scheme.
Brilliant Merchandise
Merchandise
Classic Famicom coloured designed bag, officially licensed coming with the piece de resistance of the controller side pocket.
Gamecube
Action
A wonderful version of the cherished series seeing players take a hands on approach as a foot soldier behind enemy lines. There are some fun vehicles littered around that make for great fun when commandeered such as the motorbike or plane.
Nintendo Hardware
Console
The original design allows you to play Japanese Famicom titles as well as having seven titles built in to the console itself bringing back some heady memories. However it is not compatible with every game released for the Famicom system, there are some that won’t run on it.
Miscellaneous Hardware
Console
Smashing little Famicom clone coming with two pads, AV cable, power pack and the console itself. It can play most (though it does warn not all) Famicom games too, besides the Famicom Yarou clone carts. Further good news is that there are seven built in games.
Miscellaneous Games
A Bit Special
Seven in one cart which features original titles including Boat Race, Mario Bros clone Roge Brer, Chack n Pop tribute Bomb, Warp Man look a like Aether, Penguin (which is like Nuts & Milk), Twinbee wanabee Van-1 and Conte Energy which is reminiscent of Lode Runner. So whilst we say original the games are not pirated, but are certainly based on existing ideas. Good value little pack.
Miscellaneous Games
A Bit Special
Jam packed with seven titles: Frog Prince, Bounce Ball (Pinball), Spar (Urban Champion), Cobra of Sky, Rescue of Kuck (Donkey Kong Jr.), Bounce (Mappy) and Surface Fire (Centipede). Frog Prince is a competent Mario Bros clone complete with pipes, venus fly traps and warp zones. Players even grab a flag in a run and jump at the end. Very impressive, but not too sure what Miyamoto san would make of it.
Miscellaneous Games
A Bit Special
Ladangel, Scoring, Tennis, Maze, Bandits, Mars Man and Space War. A great compilation of original games which test Nintendo’s definition of original.
