Simulation
Here we have all the games in the Simulation Section.
PS2
Simulation
A dating game with roster of ladies to cater for all tastes, for want of a better term. With the girl next door to the feisty foreigner personality, players should find fun and frivolity here. A bizarre ‘osu’ or ‘push’ game sees players having to hit targets rhythm action style to clock up a big score.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
A highly collectable Saturn title that is more like a digital magazine with horoscopes, guides to popular spots such as restaurants, a cosplay market with digitised photos, fashions from the streets etc.
Playstation
Simulation
Dating sim mixed with mech battles making for lashings of mayhem and plenty of work for the voice actors.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Plenty of opportunities to practise conversational Japanese by choosing the right riposte in this simulation game which has a dark undertone to the proceedings.
Super Famicom
Simulation
Combat simulation with more missiles than a rogue state where players set up their defences and then send in the mechas for some nice action sequences. Plenty of appropriate military pomp to the music. Known as Metal Marines in the West.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Dating simulation with ladies as bright as the blue, sunny skies that shine through in a well-drawn game, like a fine anime, capturing the mood and atmosphere.
Playstation
Simulation
Side scrolling shooting action as mechs go cockpit to cockpit with nicely rendered fighters and smooth backgrounds that smoke away in the background adding to the at war feel. Players also take to space similar to Cybernator, but the fight action is closer combat. The slick anime cut scenes are a given with Bandai’s backing.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Continuing the otaku’s favourite Gundam series with cut scenes straight out of the anime to literally blow you away.

Wonderswan
Simulation
A must for anyone who can sing the Gundam theme tune. Great shading make this a very atmospheric title that does justice to the WonderSwan. Mr. Gunpei Yokoi would have been very proud.

GameBoy Advance
Simulation
Strangely compelling to train up a sprite-based creature and let them do battle with other monsters down on the farm. Its easy to get attached and hard to watch if taking a pummelling.
Wii
Simulation
Beast battling game with quite a legion of followers in Japan so it is with some pride Nintendo bring it to the Wii. Its easy to see why though with expertly rendered ogres to lay into with precision planned armouries all looking very easy on the eye and making the very most of the hardware. Oozes with the Capcom polish of a triple A release.
PSP

Dreamcast
Simulation
Morita sensei teaches a mean game of shogi in this Dreamcast collectable.
Super Famicom
Simulation
A board game with plenty going off in the meantime as players move round the board to be suddenly part of an indoor long jump challenge or part of a wacky game show. Some superb mini games, if you can cope with whatever cultural baggage you may be carrying into them. The board is also well represented in isometric form with some finely drawn characters full of expression.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
A wealth of avatars and animation from the epic anime opus to bring this series to life on the Sega Saturn and run rings around the opposition.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Space exploration in the epic style mecha games demand with tidy avatars to crank up the tension like an intergalactic soap opera.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Dreamcast adventure starring the Samurai Spirits Heroine Nakoruru in a quest that takes players deep into her world and keeps in fitting with her role in the savvy SNK scrappers. The snowy Hokkaido wilderness is the inspiration for the setting of the Ainu Nakoruru’s adventures whose ancestors were the original inhabitants of Japan.
PS2
Simulation
A turn-based combat game making great use of the fabulous characters on offer from Namco and Capcom. Its hard to choose but Valkyrie from Namco and Strider from Capcom are two fine avatars brought to life with slick animation and superb voice acting. Great to meet them all in greater depth.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Takes a moody approach to the table top game with its heavy metal soundtrack and mystery monk figure drifting around the intro, besides the vocal interludes. But the table themselves are well thought out and further impress on the good work of Last Gladiator in this accomplished sequel.
PC Engine HU Card
Simulation
Very enjoyable and popular war sim in a futuristic style with hex based on screen representation of your army nicely presented. Best savoured in two player where the battle to take down an opponents base can get quite heated.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Excruciating detail in this Evangelion game and the fans wouldn’t have it any other way. Superb visuals, sharp avatars and the finest voice actors and actresses bring the Sci Fi world to life.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
A visual novel with fine voice acting and plenty of anime humour in the emotional reactions of the Evangelion protagonists. Varied locales from vending machines, convenience stores, the school and train home.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Pachinko title based on the infamous and retro Go Nagai manga series with some snazzy looking tables in a retro chic way as GC rendering meets a pen and paper drawn manga.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Pachinko simulator. Pachinko is a game where small steel balls must be caught in order to win prizes. Unfortunately with the demise of the Dreamcast online servers its no longer possible to win prizes online.
Dreamcast
Simulation
A simple series for players to be able to use the Dreamcast servers to battle against each other. The tile game of mah-jong sees players battle it out in the hope of shouting out ‘Reach’.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Gets those French Fries laced with salt and watch the drink sales soar. Nothing too fried too close to the big roller coasters though as no one wants to see what their fellow park attendees have been having for lunch. Genre breaking title to treat gamers with an eye for the unusual.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Plenty of extras from the original Nightruth release including drawings and anime. Subtitled Explanation of the Paranormal.
