Incredible attention to detail in this scale Playstation console model with every chip in the right place and authentic stickers to finish off that perfect look. Unfortunately doesn’t play games.
Sony Hardware
Accessory
Plugs into the memory card slot to add old school cheats to the likes of Musashinden, Metal Gear Solid, Twinbee RPG, ThunderForce V, and more.
Sony Hardware
Controller
The height of kitsch which every self respecting otaku shouldn’t be without. Even comes with a stop watch rest. Infinitely adds to the realism when playing Densha De Go on the Playstation.
Dreamcast
Puzzle
Classic Japanese puzzle action with frantic pace, anime characters and plenty of cussing in despair and whooping in delight. Coloured spheres must be matched with other colours. The twist being your platform can only hold so much weight before it gradually gives way under the strain of too many spheres and gets pushed to the bottom of the screen. Fast flowing and full of fun.
GameBoy Original
Action
Makes ace use of the monochrome screen as players bound the platforms clearing away the Bero men baddies with a tactical comb or two in order to clear the level and progress. Much sort after due to being released in a collectable tin, as opposed to a card box.
GameBoy Color
Puzzle
The playable dragon can manoeuvre around the screen to give an extra dimension to this block out style game with indestructible blocks causing much disdain. Beautifully presented and a fine example of the genre.
GameBoy Original
Simulation
A wonderful premise of a game: try and keep the family of the household happy. Cheap rent is always a good place to start. Very compelling.
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
Super deformed (shrunk down) versions of the SFII phenomena that swept the world including high school student Sakura with her Spring Image attack and Zangief with his Russian Beat attack. Finely balanced play mechanics and exotic backgrounds. Complete with full speech in the anime scenes which didn’t make the cut in the Western release.
GameBoy Original
Sports
Simply animated on screen action and appealing avatars convey the emotion of the simple yet at times frustrating game. A fine all round representation of the sport and a pleasure to whittle away long journeys.
Game Gear
Simulation
Travel Japan racking up the mahjong tiles for a game of the ancient Chinese table game. Smoothly presented with some nice graphical sugar to wash down the serious business of the game.
Playstation
Simulation
A growing up simulator with Kano the star as layers celebrate events like their birthday together. The real selling point is the use of the Pocket Station to ensure players never have to leave home without her. Unfortunately for Kano, cooking and studying are on the agenda as well as playing.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Meet the ladies of Pocket Kano and get to comment on their apartments and the like. But its best to avoid tongue in cheek comments which may fall flat. As tempting as it may be.
GameBoy Original
Puzzle
Like all the best puzzlers – easy to pick up, but refuses to let go. Puyo Puyo is at the pinnacle of its genre: sublime, fluid gameplay backed up with zany characters including a samurai mole and a grape aubergine…?
Famicom Cart
Platform
A time travelling money should come as no surprise as plenty of moneys have been dispatched into space ships over the years. This one is handy with a boomerang to clock a few choice dinosaurs or sharks. Its possible to transform into a mech style monkey (being a Bandai title) and also to traverse levels in a shoot em up style in the ship that delivers the player to the different time zones.
Playstation
Action
Madcap, multiplayer mayhem as up to four players battle it out in varied arenas from deserts to neon cityscapes. Players chuck rocks at each other avoid the non-player adversary, be it a UFO or the rock that is actually a curled-up T Rex. Real, pure gaming fun. Known as Poy Poy in the West.

Ceruledge and Armarouge adorn these protective plastic sleeves that keep your Pokemon cards in pristine condition.

Pokemon cards and cards, coins and maps all included in this trading card starter kit. Collecting Pokemon cards can be a slippery slope.
GameBoy Color
A Bit Special
Tour the Pokemon card clubs to challenge the members and hopefully get a shot at beating the leader. Quick thinking is required to try and gain all eight master cards and become the mythical Pokemon card master. Its possible for players to create their own custom deck with the real fun being trying to complete the full album. Nice overhead persepective to the exploration with cute sprites suiting the GameBoy Color’s screen drawing players in once again to that Pokemon world. Also known as Pokemon Card Trading Game.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
A tribute to the GameBoy Pokemon game that started a phenomena and this audio CD captures its aural adventure and the excitement that swept the world and still reverberates to this day.

Figure
Sculped by Enoki Tomohide and produced by Kaiyodo, this Kyogre figure was only available to those that preordered the Pokemon Alpha Sapphire 3DS game.

Looking like a Tamogotchi, Mahomil is a gentle representation of its on screen Pokemon presence made in pastel colours with fluffy finish.
Merchandise
Figure
A very kawaii version of Pikachu on safari that clips on to clothing or backpacks to take on that expedition or holiday.
Nintendo DS
Simulation
Capturing Pokemon is a strangely compelling hobby and the stylus works a treat with quick squiggles used to net the many and varied Pokemon.
Nintendo 64
Action
Take on a wealth of weird and wonderful Pokemon Monsters from what looks like a GB Pocket Camera, a heap of sludge or a koi carp out of water. Players battle it out choosing their hand carefully to avoid ineffectual attacks within varied and imaginative arenas.

The Pokemon phenomena knows no abating with the range of monsters ensuring it continues to innovate. The anime is strongly linked to the video games, no doubt helping to fuel its success. This tいn is a well crafted bonus gift, no doubt to gain admiring glances where ever it may be seen.
Famicom Cart
Action
The Konami cracker gets a Famicom work out as Hudson bring home the bacon big time. Players take on the role of a pig on a winch lift and move up and down to fire arrows at the wolves descending on balloons. Popping their balloons makes them fall to the ground, but if they float down they start to gather near the poor piggies lift. A simple premise, badly explained and playing extremely well.
PS2
Rhythm
The classic rhythm action series hits a real epoch setting height on the PS2 with street savvy graphics and some cracking tunes to send tingles along the spine. Plenty will ascertain these are the definitive versions and much desired on the system. Genkis secret pleasure is to work on the anime versions of DragonBall Z and Crayon Shinchan for the karaoke. But perhaps that would be better kept in house.
Playstation
Rhythm
Such a funky look to match the groovy beats as those with the music in them tap the button in tune to the toe tapping tracks. A real tour de force of the rhythm action games.
Dreamcast
Rhythm
Off-beat spin off of the Beatmania series with a unique cartoony style masking the challenge lying beneath the surface of this add on disk. Toe tapping, reflex sharpening fun which is very hard to put down.
