September Update

At last the Animal Crossing Figures are back in stock. Apologies for the delays - Bandai and Tomy's merger has meant they are no longer in production and hard to find. Other new additions to the site include King of Fighters bashing a few skulls together on the DC in the legendary SNK/Playmore style. Master Karateka on the GameBoy is a lesson in old school design mechanics with some fluid animation and rock hard challenge. Virtua Fighter Mini and Ristar look sublime on the Game Gear screen whilst Valis III on the Mega Drive is packed with nostalgia of the golden 16Bit era of gaming. Viewtiful Joe shows what a cracking character he is with some sterlingly heroic performances on the DS, PS2 and GameCube. The ever popular DC/NGPC Link Up Cable is back in while stocks last. The Sumo and Samurai Spirits IV leave no time to heal blistered thumbs with their nimble fingered joypad manoeuvres and good old fashioned button bashing gameplay on the PSX.

Shooting Love Trizeal, Gitaroo Man Wan and Vib Ripple prove the PS2 has a hardcore interior if you get past the mass market exterior with these delightful works of programming prowess. The DC X helps Dreamcast owners enjoy a wealth of import exclusives whilst the Virtua Cop Gun Controller Pack is back on the Saturn complete with jet black gun to match the jet black Reservoir Dogs style suits. Segata Sanshiro gets his fine tracks in the Soundtracks section and proves impossible not to sing along with his crooning. Finally we are proud to add a Customer Requests facility to our menu allowing you to request titles not currently on the site. We look forward to more of your favourite import suggestions and happy gaming.For the full story please point you browser here...

Indian Summer

Getting things moving with the marvellous technical achievement of Wolfenstein 3D on the Super Famicom along with the extreme visual and aural delight of Actraiser. Retina ruining shmup action dominates the PS2 scene with three instalments of the delightful Psyvariar series not giving you time to blink. The PC Engine quietly gets on with its processing prowess proving you can't judge a console by its modest white cover: Gradius II and Super Raiden for the grizzled shooter vet, Adventure Island and Takeda Shingen for the action old hand. More undiscovered gems on the PSX proving it can rival even the Saturn for classic capers if you look in the right places in the wonderous and wacky Cooking Fighter Hao. Coin - op high jinx abound in the slick Sega converion of Crazy Taxi on the Dreamcast. The eternally youthful Sega Saturn continues to delight with a deluge of classic 2D titles both Ram Cart fortified fight fests and old school shmups with solid mechanics. Fist of the North Star's Kenshiro is a peach of a discovery in its post - apocalyptic Mega Drive world with the friendlier faces of Sparkster and Dynamite Heddy giving a more light hearted diversion.

Sneak Preview

Here's a sneak preview of the latest additions to the site: Densha De GO! 2 for the N64 adds another facet to this supreme series with a microphone - just don't let the neighbours see you playing it. Bubble Bobble DS and Super Mario 64 DS demonstrate the power of the little handheld known as the DS. The PSX starts throwing its weight around with King of Fighters and the saucy Advanced VG 2. Not half as tasty as the morsels on offer in the bizarre Manpuku Nabe Kazoku of the gourmet genre. The PS2 gets all nostalgic with a cracking conversion of whip wielding, arcade antics in Akumajo Dracula. A delightful treat for PSP owners in the form of Ooedo Senryobako packed full of Eastern promise. This month also sees a wealth of restocks on the DC, Mega Drive, Saturn.... Plus some fine pieces of hardware too: the eternal Super Famicom with a plethora of import only classics, the Neo Geo AES - a Rolls Royce amongst consoles and the PSone - a great way to discover import gaming with many titles often far cheaper than the Saturn. Finally the Pia Carrot series gets immortalised in these stunning Kotobukiya styled figurines. More to come soon... For the full update please point your browser here...

Feel the Heat

Recent highlights include close encounters of the crustacean kind in Darius R on the GBA, the ultra rare anime antics of Silky Lip on the Mega CD, mighty fine old school fun on the Mega Drive with Mickey Mouse, Strider and Golden Axe II.

Bushido Blade 2 on the PSX delivers the cold edge of steel with plenty of bargains to be had on the Saturn. The SFC shows its strength in depth with Sumo, shmups and the eternal Super Mario Kart.

Gundam Scramble Final Version

Whilst unfortunately not on the site, we came across this game under lock and key in Japan recently. "Gundam Scramble Final Version" on the Famicom was limited to a thousand units and, appropriately for a cartridge produced in silver colour, now retails for around £800 boxed with instructions. One for the hardcore and insurance brokers then...
