Here we have all the games in the Shop Section.
Famicom Cart
Platform
Cracking platform action in the old skool style of the Spectrum titles such as Jet Set Willy or Manic Miner (or early Western platformers, if those references are too UK-centric.) Full of innovation and plenty of on screen room to manoeuvre.
Famicom Cart
Platform
Lovely, old school platformer which has some very vibrant colours and scaling making for plenty of on screen action. The gaming is varied too with much thought and planning appearing to have gone into level design. Well recommended.
PS4
Action
Much-loved Famicom game gets a multiplayer remake and it looks quite fabulous on the PS4. Yet fans who recall the original will also savour the Famicom version being included. Coveys the dank, dark cavernous nature of the levels beautifully with the lighting processing power. Safety hats off to Tozai for this labour of love.
PC Engine HU Card
Puzzle
Columns style match the falling blocks gameplay, but with a twist required to fit the shapes together adding an extra dimension to gameplay. Blocks become plants and animals on later levels to spice up the action. Comes with an extra GT mode to allow the handheld owners to link up for two player action.

Nintendo gets back to its core business with these superb cards for fans of the Splatoon series. Colourful and capturing the cheeky, fun essence of the game to a T.
PC Engine Super CD ROM
Shoot Em Up
Superb shooter where players get to customise a mean mecha robot instead of relying on power ups to blast bits out of the opposition. Like Assault Suits Valken on the SFC, fellow fighters will come to the players aid as the plot unfolds through the slickly produced cut sequences. Backgrounds are full of inspiration and very well executed with parallax scrolling to put many programmers to shame. A master blaster.
Famicom Cart
Action
Players outwit their opponent spy using traps and various fun items in the game that introduced 80’s Britain to the fun of improper gameplay along with Skool Daze. A fine concept, beautifully executed.
Famicom Cart
Shoot Em Up
Fast and frantic shooting action as the submarine drops bombs and launches torpedoes to try and keep on top of things. The speed the Famicom shifts the non screen action around impresses and the sprite based simplicity keeps the gameplay uncluttered and adds a visual charm. Plus the distinctive underwater locales keep this feeling as fresh as the school of angler fish awaiting.

Playstation
RPG
Very interesting results of Square focusing purely on the action RPG and platform gameplay of this title, without the CG graphics we have come to expect. The results are an incredibly playable title – a real joy to savour with plenty of humour. The bosses are skillfully crafted and the use of the clock to alter playing environments a clever touch.
Playstation
RPG
Imaginative quest with seven different players selectable, each with their own story intertwined with the others in the cast making for an excellent replay value. Combat is particularly strong with development of a player’s skills possible through practise of the same techniques. A high degree of in game freedom to truly explore the fantasy world.
Playstation
RPG
A more compact quest than the open gaming world featured in the initial instalment with players savouring the action through different time lines that cross each other adding to the replay potential. Painstakingly beautiful gaming world that is full of vibrancy thanks to the 2D graphics. Executed with that distinctive Square class that the developer exudes.

Famicom Cart
RPG
Join Tom, Jim, Amy and best buddy Huck for an all American adventure, at least as seen from the eyes of the game’s developers Square. Illustrated by Katsutoshi Fujioka with some fine box art and solid cartoony sprites in game.
Sega Saturn
Sports
More arcade feel than other games of this stable. It’s hard to explain the feeling of nurturing a young foal into the derby winner. But it’s good!
Famicom Cart
Shoot Em Up
Classic old school shooter from the kings of the Famicom era Hudson that ruled the roost with fast paced, arcade shooting action, to paraphrase from the era. Superb box art and good, wholesome gameplay.

Playstation
Shooter
Related to Starblade and Galaxian 3, Star Ixiom has slicker visuals with impressive explosions and more engrossing gameplay with an immersable story. Missions are set cruising in space and between them players can explore the space station from which you jettison out from. Import friendly with a simple interface in English.
Famicom Cart
Shoot Em Up
The Famicom’s answer to Star Wars as pilots take a cockpit view of this shooter to take down a suspiciously familiar looking man-made star. A simple cursor approach with a radar, but due to a lack of license, you’ll have to hum your own theme tune as you take down the enemy hordes.
PS2
RPG
Breath-taking graphics and around sixty hours gameplay make this one for the true RPG fan. Enix return to form with real time battles and a bravery meter which builds up through successful attacks and defences, rewarding players with bonuses if they can resist the temptation to use it on an opponent.

Famicom Cart
Shoot Em Up
Highly collectable original Famicom version. The graphical limitations made programmers work hard on gameplay where Star Soldier excels. The robotic brain pays a visit at the end of level mutating into a bigger, badder boss as you progress. The whole epic series started here.
Figures
Figure
The SH Figuarts really are figure art and Genki couldn’t resist this piece, despite not being game related. The anime styling of the figure adds a Japanese twist to the Star Wars empire and the set comes with changeable face plates, hands and costume.
Super Famicom
Shoot Em Up
Star Fox utilised the new FX chip to the maximum producing a tight 3D shooter worthy of the Nintendo branding. As with all Nintendo classics, the gameplay is introduced to you gradually as you slowly begin to master control of the nippy airwing. Great control sees you weaving between buildings, skirting under bridges and taking on fruit machines in no time… With lavish presentation including banter with your fellow animal wing men, Starfox is a Super Famicom must have.

Gamecube
Action
Before Rares defection came a journey into the Star Fox world where players get to explore the universe and enjoy a could bit of paw to hand combat with our old buddy Fox McCloud. Develops the story and series well complete with all of Fox’s friends.
Gamecube
Shooter
Fox is unleashed to utilise his firepower on foot in this 3D blast. Or should that be on paw? Nintendo pace it well and the dramatic scenes have lashings of their triple A fairy dust. Plenty of interjections from General Pepper and Fox’s pals.

Guide Book
Guide to the GameCube version of looking closely at the emblems of each level. Plenty of maps, items and combos covered.
