Nintendo 64
RPG
Chasing after chickens, playing musical instruments, leaping across chasms, horse riding, target shooting… Such an eagerly awaited link in the chain and amazingly able to live up to expectations and even exceed them. A lesson in game design from start to finish. Cinematic in its execution, always emotive.
Nintendo DS
RPG
Link continues with his revamped, Eastern European look, but thankfully gameplay remains true to the series deep roots and its a real joy to savour its sweet embrace.

A fitting way for the Zelda fan to store their pass card with this Hyrule themed shield motif holder.
Switch
RPG
The game is a work of art and equalled by the fabulous items that come with one of the most impressive limited editions since the Dreamcast, and that console knew a thing or two about lavish limited editions.
PC Engine CD ROM
Shoot Em Up
Two player option and spooky speech adds to the atmosphere of this side scrolling shmup from the crack unit of Telenet Japan.
Super Famicom
RPG
Charming RPG that allows players to traverse its many terrains in groups and has off-beat character designs. The graphical effects are impressive to convey the magic spells or even the flight of a dragon across its gaming world. The musical score is top notch too and overall the game very much has its own feel. Also known as Paladins Quest in the West.
Super Famicom
Platform
A rare cart in Japan with the unlikely hero looming large on the screen as he traverses through various platform locales: beach, graveyard and finally jungle to complete his quest with a hint of double entendre. Known as Odekake Lester or Lester the Unlikely in the West.
PS2
Rhythm
Refreshingly original title playing most like a rhythm action titles except this time players take the role of an orchestral conductor to try and save the concert hall from closing down. As in a rhythm action title such as Samba De Amigo, the backgrounds shift according to player performance so the conductor soon knows if they are hitting the right notes. Rather than simple button presses though, the degree of pressure applied is the important factor in keeping the orchestra together. Bravo indeed. Known as Mad Maestro in the West.

Nintendo Hardware

Useful gadget to boost the light for the original GameBoy as it had no back light for the screen. So sneaking a go under the covers became a distinct possibility.
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
A tongue in cheek take on the fighting world from Konami, not particularly renowned for its fighters, but this is an accomplished piece of well presented programming. The action is 3D all interspersed with smooth 2D cut scenes adding much to the entertainment. Mega combos and massive super moves which are charged by holding the button down when given the opportunity.
