Super Famicom
RPG
There are collectors who strive to collect every game Squaresoft has released and with such packaging it is easy to understand why that is. More than worthy of an English language translation with some emotion stirring moments in, some Chocobo must have had his head in the sand in Squares Overseas Department. There are some who feel the FF series lost its innocence in the shift from sprite based to the 32 Bit era.

Guide Book
Packed full of the wonderful sketches that make me think Miyazaki san of Ghibli fame was a Square fan. Mind you, in Eighties Japan, who wasn’t?
Super Famicom
RPG
Visually a real feast for the eyes and aurally exquisite, full of raw emotion and soothing scores. Uematsu san deserves a Knighthood for getting the SFC sound chip to jump through hoops. The storyline is a real roller coaster: the highest tribute is the degree of attachment to the characters you feel. Known as Final Fantasy III in the West.

Guide Book
A detailed and through guide to the weaponry and stats of opponents in this SFC opus with plenty of screen shots.

Guide Book
Final Fantasy collectors will lap up this guide to the sixth instalment on the Super Famicom. Lavish illustrations and colourful screen shots are really befitting of such a fine art series held in the highest of esteem amongst the gaming cognoscenti.
Playstation
RPG
Voted one of the most emotional games ever and even a hardened veteran like Genki had a tear in the eye through the scene itself. A sign of its compelling nature that it can strike such emotion in players once they are fully enveloped in the story.
Playstation
RPG
Continues to move, shake and stir after the emotionally draining experience of the prequel which will have drawn a tear from even the most grizzled gaming veterans eye. Squaresoft maintains its own standards when it comes to quality and its consistent demands of improved visuals and slicker stories is never more evident in the leap made here.
PS2
RPG
The Titanic of gaming as Squaresoft really find their rhythm on the hardware to produce a stunning piece of software. Its full mastery of the hardware is as clear as the water transparencies, yet the thread of strong gameplay and story telling remain undiminished since the Famicom days. A real gamers fantasy and well worthy of a PS3 update.
PS2
RPG
The core gameplay remains just as exquisite as its Playstation incarnations, yet the visual level would make a J Pop star blush with intense attention to detail and amazing models to endear the player to the characters (or otherwise.) Uncle Squaresoft still can tell a great post-dinner yarn, so pull up a pew and savour the experience which envelops gamers like a familiar blanket.

A data disk to boost the vast size of the online Final Fantasy XI world. Online has taken the series to unimaginable heights when its original, humble roots are considered.

PS2
RPG
Epic escapades with superb cinematics spliced with clever 3D combat that gets the player involved in the action rather than observing. Incredible production values: the man hours are visible which ever way you spin to avoid the cold steel sword zipping past your ears. Yet again Square Enix raises the bar.

Blind packed Final Fantasy XII Pin Badges each coming with a guarantee card. 12 types plus the secret one. Vaan, Ashe, Penelo, Basch, Balflear, Fran, Vayne, Larsa, Gabranth, Bomb, Seeq and Mandragora.
Nintendo DS
RPG
Just like with Mystic Quest for the Super Famicom, Square have gone back to their roots and produced an entry level RPG for those with little experience of the genre. Yet there is little here that will offend the grizzled RPG veteran – few will complain at the intuitive stylus controls and absence of excessive HP battles. The look is stunning – breath takingly refreshing and a clear triple-A release. Not a sequel to the PS2 version, but more of an off-shoot allowing interested parties to find out what happened to Vaan et al after the PS2 FFXII.

The ancients from Final Fantasy XIV are reproduced with incredible attention to detail in the facial expression – a slightly concerning expression under the mask. Incredible production values to this high end collectable.

Fine art from Final Fantasy XIV in the slim shape of Venat. As you’d expect from Square Enix, the production values are incredibly high and this is high end video gaming art.
PS4
RPG
An expansion pack for FF XIV introducing more roles in terms of jobs and the rumoured ability to fly. Its a shame they cant be included in the original release with so many updates and expansion packs around, but perhaps Genki is getting a bit too entrenched in the old school?
Super Famicom
Side Scrolling Beat Em Up
Take to the streets, subway and boxing arena to wrestle back control and get Jessica back. Just watch out for those flying flick knives and high kicking ladies of the night. Or are they?
Super Famicom
Side Scrolling Beat Em Up
Thankfully Capcom’s arcade power house reinstates the simultaneous two player option. Only Mayor and former wrestler Haggar of the playable characters from the original survives the chop: swordsman Carlos and Maki are drafted in to add a bit of ying to the series’ yang. The urban bronx feel of the original has also been shifted to a more global perspective, but thankfully gameplay remains just as sweet as ever on the trail of those Mad Gear punks.
Super Famicom
Side Scrolling Beat Em Up
Dish out some rough justice on the streets of Metro City seemingly inspired by pastiche of American city streets. This version allows players to play as Guy, but at the expense of Cody who is stuck in Japan having gone training there. As ever the weapons are fun to use and the whole hammy, eighties feel of the game brings the nostalgia flooding back.
Super Famicom
RPG
Sadly not the 776 release which attracts pension funds, such is its year on year value inflation. But true gamers will cherish this standard version of the Nintendo RPG just as much. As ever, Nintendo’s standards set the bar which others must attain and this fine piece of programming could only be called a flop in terms of the Fosbury Flop, such as it raises the bar. A beautiful gaming world and a moving gaming experience.

Very smart tribute to one of the famous son’s of Fire Emblem and Eliwood. Playable in the game, Roy is likely to be a popular choice to begin your epic quest traversing the lands.
Playstation
Action
Solid Sony developed 3D title as players take the roll of all action Rosco who piles into towering infernos without a second thought for his safety. An axe is sometimes used to take down hazards, but on the whole its a hose a good supply of water that is needed. Plenty of fun and a good tribute to AM2 being a flattering imitation if in a more cartoony style. Known as Rosco McQueen Firefighter Extreme in the West.

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!
