Famicom Cart
Sports
Cheery chip-tunes accompany the slick, on-ice action with sound puck physics as it glides across the screen. The players are a good dimension to be able to enjoy a good game and try and avoid a dust up.

Brilliant Mega Drive
Action
The original cart is a rather rare side scrolling beat ’em up from Kemco with solid 2D visuals and gameplay that they don’t make quite like they used to. Each character has their own special move – the hand grenade can certainly have its use at times. Simultaneous two player mode adds to the enjoyment of this very playable romp.

One on One Beat Em Up
Requiring no introduction. The game that ignited the 16 Bit world and made a killing for importers at the time. As such worthy of a place in any collection. Thankfully the price has dropped somewhat too. With such brilliant characterisation, attention to detail and finely honed play mechanics its easy to see how Street Fighter swept the world. Subtitled the World Warrior.

The SF and Darkstalkers worlds collide in these gorgeously colourful 2″ figures complete with fireball projectile attack weapon. This set contains Demitri Maximov and the darling Morrigan – looking slightly scarier and sexier than her kawaii, SD Pocket Fighter form.

This is the rare variant combi of Demitri and Lilith who is looking very chirpy considering she represents the darkside of the divine. Fully poseable and guaranteed to brighten up any computer workspace.

One on One Beat Em Up
Finely tweaked version of the original in the first of many milkings of Capcom’s cash cow. New costumes and slightly better balance to the fighting mechanics as the SFII phenomena started to kick in. Subtitled Hyper Fighting.
PS3
One on One Beat Em Up
Keeps the 3D strictly to a pseudo effect and the gameplay is all the better for its slick, rolling combos as a result. The backdrops look stunning too – upgraded on the old school approach but still looking lavish.

One on One Beat Em Up
Martial arts mayhem as Capcom’s colossus receives a bit of fine tuning to make this a well balanced, bruising encounter. Joypad dexterity and zen – like patience a must.
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
Set before the original Street Fighter, this features a host of faces to liven up the action: none fresher than Sakura, prouder than Rolento or wiser than old boy Gen.

One on One Beat Em Up
Cheaper alternative to the Sega Direct Matching Service release only missing the online versus battle option. Update of the Saturn title with masses of fighters with some funky costumes including the cos play inspired Mika.
Playstation
Sports
Mario Kart tribute with the PlaySation’s hardware getting a good work out spinning the course around on screen. The levels are full of fun with sea and beach based sunshine level looking particularly good in Micro Machines style overhead view. Then there is also the battle mode. The use of fighting like Road Rash as player pass helps it dig its own niche.

Brilliant Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Three vinyl record disks in a fitting tribute to the side scrolling beat ’em up’s fabulous score. Thirty five tracks to savour – the ultimate getting ready for a night out album, hopefully without recreating the fight scenes!
Mega Drive
Platform
Excellent conversion by Sega of the fast action coin op legend without any cutbacks as with the Western versions, nor the scary box art. Flip from surface to air dicing opponents as you go. Captures the essence of the arcade perfectly.
Playstation
Shoot Em Up
Vertically scrolling tribute to the Capcom 194x series but still a refreshing change from the reoccurring outer space theme. Improved aurally and visually over the prequel, with little sign of any slowdown regardless of the relentlessness of the on going aerial assault. A competent conversion of the coin grabbing arcade.

Psyvariar, Cotton, and Metal Saga are amongst the stirring scores pressed on this live tribute to celebrate Success’s forty-fifth anniversary. A beautiful aural ride to tingle the spine and soar in the skies like a carpet ride (or should that be broomstick?)

Heroes, heroines and hamsters show off their singing prowess in this tribute to the fine developer Success’ back catalogue of soundtracks, full of toe-tapping, paw-pounding loops.

DVD
Colourful anime and manga series which stars plenty of references to witches named after dessert flavours and the action and characterisation is no less lacking in saccharine sweet events. Released to celebrate the DS release of the game.
