Straps to attach to face masks to make them more comfortable. Also comes with an accessory charm. Great for the gaming or anime convention.
PSP
Rhythm
Rhythm action with catchy, bubbly tunes and the star of the show Miku who seems to have a huge wardrobe of outfits, including bridal gowns for the fanboys. Presentation is superb and the graphical and aural standard shows just how huge Miku is in Japan. And with a bit of hand eye coordination, players too can be big in Japan.

PS Vita
Rhythm
The Hatsune Miku series continues to whirl round the gaming community like a cyclone effecting fashion amongst its many followers. This Vita update version allows players to super impose the games delightful characters into real photos for some fun effects. But is the rhythm action that has never looked so finely honed.
Super Famicom
Sports
Pick up and play arcade mechanics with over the top celebrations and atmospherics make for a fun football fest from an era where shoot, pass and tackle were enough buttons to get stuck in and whip it in the mixer.
Super Famicom
Sports
Featuring a temperamental ace striker on each world team each with their own attributes and awareness of their own importance. Plays a slick passing game with nice arcade mechanics. Known in the West as Football Champ.
Mega CD
Action
A pack in title for the launch of the Mega CD which was only released in CD format in Japan. The action involves wrestling fellow mech for supremacy in a myopic future.
Playstation
Puzzle
Take on the Puyo Puyo master plan where players align four of the same coloured bug eyed balls with saccharine sweet characters and plenty of cutesy sound effects. Does actually add to the genre though and is a well respected series.
Mega CD
RPG
Originally on the Commodore Amiga, this occidental isometric RPG is based on Norse mythology. Ragnarok, the ultimate battle, is raging on earth and three of the gods have had their weapons stolen. To retrieve them they give special powers to the chosen one, a mere mortal and that’s where your mission begins.
Super Famicom
Sports
A nice discovery in a tennis game that makes players destroy opponents blocks on their side of the court in a Break-Out style. An array of players from our hero dog with mallet for a racket, to dog with bone for a racket and even a girl with a racket. Some strange locales as well that may not get approved by the LTS such as the haunted arena. Full title: Heisei Inu Monogatari Bow Pop N Smash.
Mega Drive
Shoot Em Up
Side scrolling shooter from old hands Masaya taking you on a journey through dense jungle and Egyptian inspired artefacts with only a very hand multi directional gun for company. The multi directional shooting capabilities are very useful on latter stages as Masaya ensures you fully appreciate its versatility and it adds much to the shmup formula. Worthy of a place in the Mega Drive shooter hall of fame.
Playstation
Action
Charlie must tweak switches and jump through doughnut hoops to complete the rendered puzzle level and bear the bad egg boss. Known as Eggs of Steel in the West.
Dreamcast
Puzzle
Uber kawaii Kitty played a big part in the Dreamcast marketing. Maybe Sega should have gone for Godzilla instead? Simple puzzle game with guest appearances of Kitty’s friends.
Dreamcast
A Bit Special
Email sender looking very pretty in pink for fans of Sanrio’s Kitty chan. Unfortunately the Dreamcast servers have long since ground to a halt, but this remains a nice curio for the DC completist.
Super Famicom
Action
Players observe Pacman going about his daily routine and must help him by firing a catapult to prevent, for example, a cat pinching his hot-dog or the toilet door whacking him in the face. Good, clean fun.
Playstation
Shooter
Light gun compatible gun game that comes with a two player mode to recreate the trigger pumping action of the arcade coin-op. This will keep those with a twitchy finger occupied with four areas to each of the atmospheric six stages based on ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology. Known in the West as Crypt Killers.
PS2
Action
Eidos goes out on a limb to show the Tomb Raider developers diversity in creating an almost Nintendo-esque shepherding game. Animals need guiding back to their pen, but certain creatures will sink in water or be unable to jump adding to the lateral thinking of the shepherd. Very enjoyable and underrated.
Playstation
Platform
A very likeable 2D platformer in which our hero is joined by a batch of eggs. These eggs will in turn hatch into animals that assist our Hermie on his way to platform hopping nirvana by attacking adversaries. Some require a little assistance such as the turtle that can only be gently hoofed towards an advancing adversary. But be kind to them and you will be rewarded by getting a helping hand (paw) out of a tricky situation.
Nintendo 64
Shooter
Fantasy first person shooter with appropriately eerie music and dark, dank cavernous levels where switches must be activated to progress. Plenty of weapons to help and they are needed with many a beasty hid behind secret doors.
Nintendo 64
A Bit Special
Long before Pokemon Go, N64 fans were using the Voice Recognition System to chat with Pikachu and enjoy a days fishing for Magikarp or planting in the garden. A great idea cleverly executed. Known as Pikachu Genki Dechuu in Japan.
Famicom Cart
Platform
Light hearted platform action as the Asterix style lead character collects squashed opponents to use them as platform blocks when it a tight fix in order to progress. Plenty of variety in levels from pre historic to space age as the mosaic like picture is gradually pieced back together.
Famicom Cart
Action
Could be (badly) translated as Evil World Island and there are plenty of sea related escapades as our hero tosses barrels at all and sundry to clear the level. That includes the ginormous proportions of the bosses based loosely on Popeye’s rival Brutus at times. A good title from a solid stable.
PC Engine CD ROM
Simulation
Set in a grim future where nations battle for control of the earth’s depleted resources, this is a turn based war game.
Playstation
Simulation
Plenty more goings on than meets the eye in terms of supernatural demons as the Japanese board game gets an exciting adventure as only a top developer could do.
Famicom Cart
Side Scrolling Beat Em Up
A long standing series unlike Genki when surrounded by the thugs in the game who soon gang up on those initially lacking the necessary martial skills. Yet the games appeal is strong as players meet plenty of characters on their way through the platform levels on to a showdown with the big boss. Playing like Double Dragon on platform levels makes for an interesting twist on the side scrolling beat em up.

One on One Beat Em Up
Whilst Genki may be more like the bowtie wearing and rather rotund referee, we certainly appreciate the sharp skills needed to be able to land the moves as this mixed martial arts fest takes to the ring. A small target appears on the opponents body as to where the hit will land in order to give the pugilists a chance to block and counter making for good, tactical bouts.
PC Engine HU Card
Simulation
Plays similar to Nectaris in that it’s a militaristic strategy title that’s quite easy to get into thanks to the almost Nintendo-esque way Masaya lead the player by the hand through the early stages. Yet once the simple control face is mastered the adventure really opens up. The Gaiserds of the title are the mecha robots of varying strengths and abilities that are placed throughout the space stages. When a ruck kicks off the animated sequences are very impressive for a HU based title.
Famicom Cart
Action
Cherished action RPG that takes a martial arts theme skilfully blending tough looking avatars, hit points and actual fight sequences in the martial arts mecca Temple of Shaolin itself.
