Sega Saturn

Famed for its footage of Ms. Chisa Yokoyama performing the Sakura Wars anthem complete with full Sakura Wars, Shinto inspired outfit with some good backing from the loyal crowd of devotees. The media disk takes the form of an imperial era newspaper which is scanned for info with certain sections revealing mini dating games and plenty for the Sakura Wars fan. The presentation is excellent too: a small example being the greeting when the Saturn is booted up which varies from a morning Ohayou! To an evening Konbanwa, along with a few special dates along the way.

Simulation
Plenty of flushes and wry smirks from the poker face avatars of the Sakura Taisen participants in this card game. Nice off shoot from the world where imperial Japan lives on.

Forget the card game take on the Sakura Taisen world; this deluxe Dreamcast version comes with a full sized wall clock with picture of the girls enjoying a game of cards and a cup of tea and some suspected peeking at players hands. No wonder the Dreamcast was doomed, but what unparalleled love towards owners from Sega.

With similarities in gameplay to the Final Fantasy tactics series, Sangokushi embarks on a sweeping crusade to build up the biggest army in ancient China through conquering all others. Some epic battles all very nicely realised and true to the period costumes and weaponry, even if the specials touch more on fantasy. Playing like a game of military chess but alot more exciting than that may sound. Known as Dynasty Tactics in the West.

Set in a spooky, abandoned school; your task is to save the children who have wandered in there from the kancho monster (if Genki’s Japanese is up to scratch!) Goes full circle with the FMV being so badly acted it becomes funny.

An upbeat style to this dating sim featuring good old joystick waggling to power up the angry meter in chit-chat. Has its won humour too as players interact with the ladies across suburban Japan.

Simulation
The Sufami Turbo plugs into the cart slot of the Super Famicom allowing you to play Bandai’s anime themed releases that came on smaller, cheaper carts through it. Two games can share each others resources when utilised together opening up secrets. Good use of the anime license with Gundam mecha animation sequences to back up the battle sim gameplay.
Game Gear

Gundam in Japan is huge in both popularity stakes and sprawling stories. Humans enter the cockpits of giant mecha robots to fight with other suitably proportioned mecha robots.
PS2
Simulation
A bit like looking after a fish with a human face and that evolves quickly to learn new tricks. An intriguing game that thinks well outside the pond.
