Video Games Of The Week
Game of the Week Switch
Action
Always one of the most unlikeliest names for a video game hero, Earnest Evans Collection contains his a fore named game Earnest Evans from the Mega CD era, besides the seminal MD El Viento and the cult classic from the Mega CD Anett Futatabi. Telenet always had such devoted followers and these three titles demonstrate why.

Game of the Week Switch
Action
A huge license in Japan based on the classic manga. You play the role of Mr. Saeba – a bit of a Japanese bond, fond of both ladies and firearms. Good advise would be to keep em peeled for the helpful nurse on each level. Reminiscent of Rolling Thunder in parts. Brought back for the modern era thanks to a fabulous live-action film on Netflix.

Game of the Week Switch
Shoot Em Up
Much-cherished Milestone shoot ’em up gets a Switch reboot and there are Hitchcock overtones for this crow related shooter. Utilises power ups for the shot, sword and shield giving it a strategic element. Known as also ‘Crows’ and ‘Karous’.

Game of the Week Switch
platform
Includes the rare DS version Gallery of Labyrinth – Gothic chic has never looked so good as Count Dracula tries with all his vim and vigour to rid himself and his mansion of the trespassing Belmont clan – even if protagonists Jonathan and Charlotte’s links to the Belmont ancestry are slim. Both players have a different skills set. Keeps true to the manuscript of the Castlevania tradition and those familiar with its whip cracking action will feel right at home in the spooky splendour of the Counts castle. Concessions are made to the modern gamer in being able to plough right through quickly, yet the seasoned vampire slayer will take their time to explore the plethora of in game secrets. Plus players can leap into paintings to take on off shoots from the castle with plenty of visual variety in this platformer set in WWII. The bosses mark a stunning return to form and show the Konami team to not be shy on eating cheese before bed.
Another fine DS conversion in Castlevania Order of Ecclesia included too: Konami style alright – packed full with a bounty of varied levels and surprises all drawn in the most chic gothic fashion as the developers seem to have been hanging around the streets of Shinjuku with Gackt look a likes as much as Transylvanian castles. Plenty of innovative touches and a commendable blend of keeping true to the series traditions and bringing in new blood.
Finally includes the arcade version of Castlevania: Akumajo Dracula Revisited, also known as Haunted Castle.

Side Scrolling Beat Em Up
Sharp reflexes and a knowledge of when to fire in a fist of fury or a flat kung fu slipper sole are requisites to meet the bad boss Mr X. Ducking kicks and throwing stars in the classic arcade mould. Known as Kung Fu Master in the West.
Famicom Cart
Action
A lack of shadowing does make avoiding some of the hazards across the castle a bit haphazard for our young samurai. But the levels are well set out and Irem have designed an impressive set of depth to this action based title. Known in the West as Deadly Towers.

Shooter
The sort of game you would keep a cutting off from the magazine, so good it looked back in the day. And its sprite world still stands up today with lots lavish detail, not that you get much opportunity to admire it, with grenade pin in mouth, gun blazing. The motorbike shooting sections are great fun and the isometric Ikari action is well paced and can’t be faulted. The pinnacle of arcade cross over coin-ops.

Neo Geo AES Preorder
Sports
Zip speed race title from ADK that graced the SNK system with its isometric action. Full of nice touches such as the tyre skid marks on the road and the headlights effect when in tunnels. Nice, solid feel to the sprites due to the isometric perspective and its arcade roots ensure drivers get good warning arrows as for where the next break neck bend leads. Relentless soundtrack does little to encourage breaking through the varied terrains.

Neo Geo AES Preorder
Platform
A challenging platformer released early in the Neo Geos life that takes on a sort of medieval fantasy look matching its magician hero. Yet our hero can transform into other guises including a ninja justifying the Eastern infused backgrounds of golden Buddhas. The swirling backgrounds are very impressive and there is certainly plenty of challenging meat on the bones of a well structured platform romp.

Shoot Em Up
A very popular title and obviously true to the Neo Geo original for the purists in this version. Gameplay involves shooting the falling projectiles as they come down the screen in a manner so to cause as much debris as possible on your opponents screen. A real treat in two player mode with the unique gameplay really excelling itself all wrapped up in the delightful sunshine presentation. A fine addition to any collection.

Shoot Em Up
Hardcore shoot ’em up for the Neo Geo CD with a tough but fair relationship between the player’s vessel and the enemy hoards. Relies on memorising the attack waves to aid progress and a lot of joypad dexterity rather than just pummelling fire. Irem’s influence is there to see with the detachable probe, but the overall design is very much a unique SNK master plan with some sumptuous backgrounds and slinky animation. Power charge weapons certainly help escape a claustrophobic corner of the screen.

One on One Beat Em Up
A host of crazy characters, almost as many as there are in game modes and health bars to keep track of your layers well being, temperament, weapon etc. Samurai Spirits Zero is not shy on a drop or two of claret either – all in the proper red colour unlike the Western versions of some SNK titles. But unfortunately SS Rei never made it out of Japan. Extra pugilists have been entered over the arcade versions and there’s a practise mode too to help hone that samurai like timing. A superbly solid scrap and slicer.
