PS2
One on One Beat Em Up
Making a very smooth transition from arcade to home format. Jaw dropping intro sets the scene and motives for another iron fisted brawl. A piece of gaming history as an early release on the PS2.
Switch
Shoot Em Up
Granada, Psychic Storm, Gaiares and Avenger make for a roster well-worth revisiting and not just for vintage gamers. Gaiares will delight many yet to sample its charms, yet all stand tall in this fine back roster from cult cracker Telenet.

Shoot Em Up
Kiaidan 00 was a rare PC Engine title even back in the day, so its happy days many can discover its power laser rays. Final Zone II is a gritty run and gun overhead scroller – you can almost taste the metal of the grenade pin in your mouth as you pile in all guns blazing. Browning is also of the PC Engine stable along side Legion, which shows Telenet’s fair hand at shoot em ups.
🏆Brilliant!

PC Engine Hardware
Accessory
Plug in the original PC Engine to allow data to be saved to its back-up facility or the Core Grafx or Core Grafx II. Very retro chic and revolutionary at the time.

Has 8k of memory on this card allowing you to save your games even when the internal console memory of the CD system is full. Indeed a calling from heaven as the name translates…
Mega CD
Simulation
A Wolf Team collectable which sees you governing over the population and kingdom to hopefully bring prosperity. Related to the massive Romance in the Three Kingdoms Koei series.
PC Engine Super CD ROM
Simulation
Essentially Tenchi gets into a bit of mischief as players control his actions at varying locales as the story unfolds dependant on the players actions. Winning over the ladies hearts is what its all about, getting them to confess, like the players, into being big Tenchi fans.
PSP
RPG
Captures an ancient spirit of waterfalls, sunsets and plenty of swordsmanship. A beautiful world to explore, but the katana never stays sheathed for too long. Known as the Kingdom of Paradise in the West.
PC Engine Super CD ROM
Action
Stunning conversion of the Capcom arcade version and unfortunately as rare as rocking horse dung. Loses a few of the parallax layers and the two player option, but thats about all. Genki wishes all the Dynasty Warrior series were this much fun as you steam into to Mongolian hordes sword aloft on horseback in a plot losely based on Chinese mythology.
Sega Saturn
RPG
An alternate evil world existing alongside our own is the setting for this evil adventure from Hudson Soft. Crammed on to two disks.
Famicom Cart
Action
Famicom take on the long running Japanese TV soap opera set in the past where our hero roams the town in a similar vein to Goemon getting into scrapes and scraps, then dishing out some rough justice. Plenty of samurai haircuts on offer in this period romp.
Famicom Cart
Sports
Genki doesn’t do tattoos, but if we did our first would no doubt be in the shape of the Famicom style of Mario, here seen in unusually relaxed position of umpires chair. Simple is the best: the full court is visible in screen and good use of shadowing and ball sizing creates a clever perspective with very playable gameplay.
PC Engine Super CD ROM
RPG
Sprawling RPG the likes of which gets fans of the genre twitching with excitement as players explore from the dank dungeons, across fiery lava caverns, via the more assuring surrounds of the local town to the peaks of an icy mountain. Telenet have their own distinctive style both in terms of graphics and gameplay and it comes across as very refreshing as a result.
Famicom Cart
Shoot Em Up
A vintage vertical scroller that pulls up its bar stool and satisfactorily sups its tipple, safe in the knowledge that what it does, it does very well. Don’t expect any favours, but it does make a great adventure.
Sega Saturn
RPG
Refreshing European style take on the stragtegic RPG, especially as done from a Japanese developer’s perspective. Great attention to detail as troops shout before attacking.
Dreamcast
Puzzle
One of the earlier releases for the DC bringing the classic Russian puzzler to the table for up to four players. Multiplayer madcap mayhem assured.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Charting some supreme chip tunes from Mario Bros journey from munching mushrooms on the Famicom via the Game Boy to pipe dropping in the Super Famicom with the N64 and GameCube not forgotten en route to the destination of the Wii U. Happy, cheery game music to lift the mood.
Famicom Cart
Platform
A fitting tribute to a fine story due to the amount of unregulated fun and adventure in the game. The rafting sections are superb: firing at flying frogs, avoiding whirlpools and grabbing power ups. The platform sections can look a little rudimentary at times, but gameplay innovations such as being able to take to the skies with feet wrapped in fluffy cloud; turning the action into a side on shooter. Genki just fears the appearance of Injun Joe.
PS2
Sports
Japan exclusive title with realistic graphics produced using motion capture technology. Includes the twelve top Japanese Professional teams with their full squads: even down to the mascots so players can savour Giants vs Tigers match ups. Some hyped up commentary helps to crank up the pressure with bases loaded and Konami’s experience in the genre with the Powerful Pro Yakyuu series shines through.
Sega Saturn
A Bit Special
A collector curio multimedia disk based on the mad Japanese cooking show in which the Iron Chef takes on all comers in a challenge to produce the finest dish based on bizarre ingredients. Puts our Ainsley to shame… Also know by its Japanese name: Ryouri no Tetsujin Kitchen Stadium Tour.
PS2
RPG
The Bishojo of the title translates as beautiful girl and the lead characters are all female in this solid action RPG. The player has plenty of story freedom to explore in the popular D3 series.
PS2
Action
Thankfully not a doorman simulator, but there are a few cauliflower ears dished out as you grapple various assailants all gorgeously rendered in a Square stylie. Also in another Square trait you can teach comrades various fighting moves in a trade off for hard earned experience points gained through giving out fat lips.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Running a convenience store is certainly hard work. Especially if your Japanese reading skills aren’t up to it like most of the Genki team! Don’t forget to change the bento boxes when the best before time has run out. Curiosity value.

Sports
Davis Cup takes a simulation approach to the game, with interesting split screen approach allowing for good two player rallies as there is no far side disadvantage. One for the strawberries and cream munching Henmaniacs.

PS4
Simulation
The isometric world looks fantastic with the attention to detailed paid to it seemingly excruciating. The combat interface is seamless and the action moves along sweeping you up in its many charms. The characters look and sound amazing, none more so that the lovely Lorraine Luckshaw.
PS2
Sports
Not your average dodgeball or kingy title as players travel not only the world, but also through time to sample the dodgeballing skills of Socrates, Bach and Nobunaga. Plenty of over the top specials to dazzle opponents with and frustrate them by not revealing how they are unleashed. Subtitled World Champion Dodge Baller.
