PS2 Tecmo Hit Parade - New Import

Tecmo (well, they're actually mostly Tehkan games) revisits the past with seven arcade perfect classics from their historical library such as Bomb Jack, Pinball Action, Pleiades, Senjyo, Solomon's Key, Star Force, and Tecmo Cup. Most of the classics may be familiar to retro gamers but here's a summary: Bomb Jack - Gather bombs by flitting from platform to platform while avoiding wee beasties intent on your destruction. Pinball Action - Rudimentary pinball with a fiery-maned lady as center artwork. Spinners, bumpers, and the usual tricks provide foil to the ball. Pleiads - Shooter which shamelessly borrows from Galaxian and Phoenix. Blends together static vertical shooter action with moving shooting. Senjyo - Commandeer a cannon and shoot at tanks and UFOs in the distance. Fairly difficult at first but easier as one gets the hang of the shooting, timing. Solomon's Key - Use magic to create/dissolve blocks in order to escape levels. A numbers of creatures try to stop your progress with deadly touch. Star Force - Fast moving vertical shooter with grating music and sound effects. Reminds us of something created with Shoot 'em Up Construction Kit. Tecmo World Cup - Overhead view soccer simulation. We remember playing something like this from the UK on the old Amiga computer. Very addictive.
