PC Engine Hardware

A beautiful replica piece of work to turn the humble PC Engine into the LT style. Can be connected to a power source, but will also run with a mobile battery (not supplied) to make the console portable. The screen can also be connected by HDMI cable to a TV negating the need for any conversion jobs on the original PC Engine.
PC Engine Hardware
Cable
Allows the composite systems to be able to output RF video. A collectable for the PC Engine completist.
PC Engine HU Card
Platform
PC Kid is to the Engine what Sonic and Mario are to Sega and Nintendo. But Genki reckons he could have them both in a fight using his forehead to attack enemies as he does. Fun filled platform romp with original twists in an often cliched genre. Also known as ‘Genjin’ and ‘Bonk’.
PC Engine HU Card
Platform
PC Kid’s giant head comes in handy to deliver cranium crushing Glasgow kisses to enemies that come at you surfing, fishing, even catching insects. Full of fresh ideas. Also known as ‘Genjin’ or ‘Bonk 2’ or perhaps even ‘Bonk’s Revenge’.’
Sega Saturn
Puzzle
Super deformed Ultraman and pals themed puzzler in which you must align capsules to make a chain. Some very satisfying combos possible in a game that slowly gets its hooks into you as you get used to the unusual, yet refreshing, style.
Famicom Cart
Action
Battle against various other animals such as rats, bats and cows to knock each other out by rolling balls along the tabletop. Each character has their own unique characteristics making them difficult to beat.
GameBoy Original
Action
Hardware appropriate graphical achievements and gameplay to match as the players penguin pecks platforms to negotiate a safe passage for the egg through the screens laden with traps and adversaries. A real gem in Sega’s crown that shows why it enjoyed the fine times ahead.
PS2
Sports
Gekitou Pennant Race is a fine baseball game taking a realistic approach to the sport with superb looking graphics and scintillating sounds. All that’s missing is the smell of hot dogs. Or perhaps tako yaki being distinctly set in Japan. Enix has its own distinctive approach to the sport which feels fresh next to the usual big hitters. Prefixed in Japanese by ‘Ore ga Kantoku da.’ Or ‘I am the coach.’
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Released along side the PSP update of the Playstation original twelve years on, yet still as charmingly refreshing as when first released. Includes remixed and rearranged tracks as well as originals with Gatten Sushi and Velvet Room amongst the ten top tracks.
PS2
RPG
Such a monstrous, epic series with a real motley crew of devotees worthy of such attention with triumphant orchestral score and a very distinct look. Combat is superbly executed by the fight engine with imaginative special attacks.
PS4
Action
The Persona world is rich with characters and it sits smoothly (toe tapping away) in this rhythm action game with those able to keep the buttons in the right order able to unleash some devastating dancefloor combos.
PS4
One on One Beat Em Up
A fight fest that stands tall on its own two feet regardless of the fine use of the colourful Persona world is the best compliment Genki can pay it. Come have a go at its brash neon scenes and slick specials if you think you are hard enough.
Wii
Action
Think of an air based Micro Machines and you’ll hopefully be on the way to imagining Petit Copters world. Yet instead of racing players must manoeuvre objects around the oversized gaming interior of a house using suction cups and from time to time unleash the odd missile to complete the challenging tasks. Very fresh and well thought out.
Mega Drive
RPG
More mysterious inter galactic goings on with epic battles supplemented by some useful items to collect. A superb series with plenty of devotees.
Dreamcast
RPG
Only four worlds, yet with bonds to be forged with other players to talk, trade and eventually team up the world seemed a cosy place. Like any good RPG PSO cleverly allowed you to mould you character in your own way aswell as their personal android and threw in a sprinkling of rare items for good measure. Touched on online gaming nirvana for a while, but now that Pandora’s Box has been opened the Holy Grail quest for the ultimate online experience continues.
Dreamcast
RPG
The second and final release of PSO on the Dreamcast improved and toughened up the AI of its various inhabitants as well as giving the textures a lick of paint, some mighty weaponry, improved NPC robots and new modes of play. Touched on online gaming nirvana for a while, but now that Pandora’s Box has been opened the Holy Grail quest for the ultimate online experience continues.

PSP
RPG
Charge through sprawling forests and what looks like the Death Star in this action RPG with the accent firmly on the combat which is now controlled by the player. Use of lasers and souped up swords give players much more involvement in the action. The draw distance is mightily impressive and the whole package oozes with big budget, triple A class.
PSP
RPG
Released on the tenth anniversary of the original PSO, the graphical standard and the speed at which lay revolves must be applauded. Yet the bare bones of the game are very much the Dreamcast version which caused such a stir in the gaming community when the servers were online. Co-operative play is possible along with other, less friendly multi-player opportunities.
PS2
RPG
Pushing the PS2 to the limits of graphical splendour with painstaking attention to small detail wherever you may wander in the Phantasy Star Universe. Combat is not as drawn out as previous incarnations and the controls are very intuitive aiding enjoyment no end. As you’d expect from such a weighty series the presentation is lavish with immaculate cut scenes preparing players for the quest ahead. Enjoy the ride.
Merchandise
Guide Book
Guide to the DS Photon Master version of the game and a series well suited to giving players a few hints and tips with so much depth to its gameplay.
PS2
