Super Famicom
A Bit Special
Known as Super Ninja Boy in the West, this version has more going for it that didn’t make the cut for the English language release. Jammed full of Chinese cultural references, or at least Chinese culture from a Japanese perspective, it can be pretty zany at times.
PC Engine CD ROM
Shoot Em Up
Outer space meets the Atlantic Ocean in this vintage series full of robotic aquatic creatures of the deep that appear to be rejected prototypes for Tomy’s latest toy range.
Super Famicom
Platform
Rare developed the Donkey Kong series with revolutionary, rendered, solid visuals squeezing high level performance out of the SFC and sleek play mechanics. Team work is essential to succeed with each monkey having their own special ability: Dixie can hover in the air thanks to her rotating pony tail, Diddy can roll through enemies to get out of a tight fix. Plenty of ropes, switches and barrels make the player develop primordial levels of inquisitiveness with the backgrounds toying with anything that looks remotely interactive. Its easy to see where the series continued to go from strength to strength without any slip ups.

Rare developed Donkey Kong with revolutionary, rendered, solid visuals squeezing high level performance out of the SFC and sleek play mechanics. Team work is again essential to succeed with each monkey having their own special ability: Dixie can hover in the air thanks to her rotating pony tail, Diddy can roll through enemies to get out of a tight fix. Plenty of ropes, switches and barrels make the player develop primordial levels of inquisitiveness with the backgrounds toying with anything that looks remotely interactive. And there are many bonus levels to complement the forced scrolling mine cart rides and toboggan runs to give good variety. There is also imaginative diversity in the end of level bosses making this a fine Caribbean feeling platformer.
PS2
One on One Beat Em Up
Sublime cell shaded characters from Akira Toyama’s epic manga blended into the slick environs with more speed lines than a bike chase in Akira and comic book style written sound effects to boot. Brings the energetic high tempo pacing of the source material together superbly with ott satisfying specials and killer combos. Despite the vast array of camera angles, this cracking battle fest has all the feel of a 2D masterpiece.
Dreamcast
Sports
From the Rage stable, playing in a similar vein to the Striker series. A good, solid, professional effort – the Gareth Southgate of the Dreamcast football world.
Super Famicom
Sports
This overhead perspective racing game tests your reflexes to the max. Rev heads will relish this SFC updates fast paced gameplay.
Nintendo Hardware
Controller
Little is wrong with the Super Famicom pad which revolutionised controllers. This version simply adds a slow motion, turbo and autofire option and leaves the rest as it should be.
Nintendo Hardware
Accessory
Coming with S-Video cable, this fine selector allows gamers to keep their cables tidy and avoid having to pull out cables by simply switching between them.

Sound controller from the fine up and coming Columbus Circle stable. Snug ergonomics and nice feel to the button press.
Super Famicom
Sports
Four fine footballing games in the shape of J League Super Soccer, J League Excite Stage 95, J League Prime Goal and J League Prime Goal 2. Excite Stage is a side perspective football game with top tier teams and PK mode seen from both keepers and strikers perspective. Fabulous four player scraps are possible with a multitap and the game is also Barcode Battler II compatible, so get scanning those cans of Baked Beans. A great addition to a value package.

Cult developer Halken turns its fair hand to hardware with impressive results in this JB King controller. Very intuative layout and well produced with no skimping on switches.

Many Super Famicom fans will savour the multi player games: be it sports games or Bomberman. This multitap keeps to the traditional SFC colours and does exactly what it says on the box.

Same winning set up as the original SFC pad except with autofire options and of course the winning wireless formula when used with the Multi Shot.
Super Famicom
Sports
Overhead Formula One racer that uses the Namcot flair for cartoony graphics to add plenty of colour and the all important emotion to the package. The attention to detail makes this feel far much more fun than the sum of the parts may suggest.
Super Famicom
Sports
Known as Super Batter Up in the West, but in Genkis humble opinion looks far better with the Homepride Flour, Fred style Japanese graphics. Bases loaded and this representation of the sport covers all bases.
Super Famicom
Sports
Popular baseball series which evolved with every update making it familiar and yet progressive to fans of Famistar. Manages to recreate the good feel of the crack when batters whack that home run onto some poor chap enjoying his hot dog in the crowd.
Super Famicom
Sports
The abbreviated name comes from Family Stadium and Namco have embellished their fine baseball series with plenty of gameplay aspects to make it accessible to all. Much loved in its many incarnations on both the Super Famicom and the Famicom previous to that.
Super Famicom
Sports
Great very playable title from Human. Includes players such as ‘Rentoru’, ‘Bekkaa’, ‘Akashi’ and a very angry looking sprite called ‘Makenro’. Four players possible.
Super Famicom
Sports
The cartoon style approach of the Fire series allows the developers Human to add just that: the human touch. As such the fun and comical animation of taking one where the sun don’t shine is amply represented and captures what more serious wrestle titles skip.
Super Famicom
Sports
Takes on the mantle of the epic Fire Pro Wrestling series. Makes the somewhat tricky manoeuvres of the third instalment a little easier to execute aswell as unlocking all of the hidden wrestlers to be able to sample all the wrestlers.
Super Famicom
Sports
Plenty of hard work is required in getting the shoulder barges and sliding tackles in to get the ball in a decent shooting position. A real battle of attrition in two player mode. The midfield general of football titles.
Super Famicom
Sports
The tackling has to be the most satisfying element of Super Formation Soccer as plenty of effort is needed in order to get to the opponents bye line. Two options are available: the sliding tackle or the shoulder barge which may result in a foul if it has a bit too much barge in it. Great for a two player battle between two self styled midfield generals.
Super Famicom
Sports
The World Cup Edition as Formation does its take on Diana Ross’ missed goal and the all American razzmatazz of the USA 94 World Cup. Updated to include all the correct stats for the ground collecting anoraks.
Mega Drive
RPG
An RPG of fine fettle which takes a realistic approach in that the hero must get sufficient food and rest to stay alive. Items add to the weight lugged around and slow the progress down. And any overnight sortie out of the relative safety of the town requires sufficient planning to survive. The visuals are small so its possible to see a wide area of the gaming world at once. The soundtrack is sublime too to make up for any disappointment with the small-scale sprites. Plenty of heart in this one.
Super Famicom
Sports
A very speedy Indy car title that zips along utilising the revolutionary Mode 7. Concentration is a perquisite to be spraying the champers on the race girls. Warning: shots contain end credit shots (and terrible spelling!)
Super Famicom
Simulation
Hard to resist a ninja themed game as our wee man dressed in black avoids advancing bamboo forests and delves deep to find out how his ninja clan can survive the onslaught of Nobunaga. Some great chip tunes to set the period and some spiffing techniques to be able to use on opponents.
Nintendo 64
Platform
Miyamoto san’s masterpiece was well worth the wait creating the dream world where anything seems possible he often refers to in interviews. Genki loves to challenge that penguin to one more bob sled ride down the mountain and to splash around in the gloriously realised sea. Will bring a smile to the face of the most grizzled of gaming veterans.
