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
A Bit Special
Very cute and cuddly version of Sega’s Crazy Taxi with players ferrying around the good folk of the metropolis in this more Japanese themed edition. Great variety in the punters wanting a ride from old to young but the common thread of almost all being in a hurry to get where they want to be.
Sega Saturn
A Bit Special
The Tokimeki phenomena is absolutely immense in Japan and as such fan service releases such as this go down a treat there. But Konami have kept an eye out for the growing band of overseas fans with some English language messages and menu translations when accessed via a PC. On the Saturn the disk is crammed with media with music video clips, art gallery presentations even the chance to play paper, scissors, stone with your favourite Tokimeki character.
PS2
A Bit Special
Blend, cut and mix cartoons together to make a coherent whole or a crazy compendium. As producer for the TV studio the choice is yours.
Playstation
A Bit Special
A real cult following behind this game and also ‘Moon’ due to the developer’s blank canvas approach to realising their real work of passion. In UFO players must take photos in order to identify aliens missing from a crash. Basically suspicious events occur which are a good indicator of some alien involvement. These photos can be then used to locate the MIA aliens. Requires careful thought and observation and reveals that all games don’t have to be the same.

PC Engine HU Card
A Bit Special
A lively version of the popular Chinese table game (Wai Wai refers to a bit of a wild do in high spirits) made so thanks to the inclusion of some colourful characters from idol star to nun, a rather camp looking baseball player, a race driver complete with helmet, an artist and a policewoman. Good fun version of the game.
