GC Zoids: Full Metal Crash JPN

GC Zoids: Full Metal Crash + Toy Bonus - New Import

   Zoids battle again on 3D landscapes where systems in effect include armor breaks, close range wrangling, and projectile attacks. Over 30 Zoid frames are available in the game which mimic their real world toy counterparts in faithful virtual representations.

   Battles are rudimentary with basic moves for the various Zoids mechs. As a Zoid gains experience, it may be upgraded with an assortment of over 50 types of weaponry which range from shoulder cannons to guns which are mounted on the side. New paint may also be applied for snazzy tints and designs. The action runs fast with galloping Zoids performing brisk moves and attacks in fluid motion. Much of the fighting takes place in close-up quarters instead of distance attacks. If an opponent attempts to hit and run, it's fairly easy to close the distance by rushing the foe. Zoids featured in the game include the Murasame Liger, Liger Zero, Genobreaker, Red Horn, Deathsaurer, Deadly Zone, and many more.

   All orders for Zoids: Full Metal Crash will include a Blade Hawk Level 2 Kit which is packaged in a large, airy cardboard box.

PS2 Atelier Marie + Elie JPN

PS2 Atelier Marie + Elie: Atelier of Salburg 1+2 - New Import

Alchemists in training named Marie and Elie relive their original adventures in remakes for the PS2. New to the PS2 versions are redrawn graphics for more visual impact and enhanced mini-games. In the game that started the whole series, Atelier Marie, players control an alchemist in training named Marlone who hasn't been doing too well in her studies. In an effort to give the young girl some incentive, Marlone's teacher Ingrid demands that she produce a notable and noteworthy creation in five years or lose her apprenticeship at the school. With fear propelling her newfound ambition, Marlone explores, gathers ingredients, and creates various items until reaching her redeeming masterwork.
In Atelier Elie, a new girl named Elie receives inspiration from Marlone's adventures and escapades and sets out to become an renowned alchemist herself. Ingrid returns as the school teacher and gives Elie the keys to a storefront atelier. A mysterious disease is spreading through Salburg and Elie must find a cure before it's too late. To make the ducats to keep the shop running and fund the search for a cure, Elie hunts for ingredients to create items that command a goodly coin. Most items have a buyer and some rare items command a healthy amount of money.

PS2 Burger Time JPN

PS2 Oretachi Geasen Zoku Sono: Burger Time - New Import

Ah, the American culinary creation known as the hamburger. Two pieces of bread, a thick slab of greasy beef, and various condiments such as pickles, onions, tomatoes, and cheese. Once assembled, grab the hamburger with both hands, lift up to mouth, and gobble as the beef juices run down your engorged cheek.

In the 1982 gaming classic Burger Time, players adopt the role of a chef named Peter Pepper who works his magic by creating big and beautiful burgers. Not just any burgers. Big Burgers. Run over the pieces of bun, meat, and condiments to plop them on top of each other to finally cascade to the bottom of the screen where a bottom bun awaits its fellow burger components. There is trouble in paradise however. Outraged hotdogs and eggs chase the chef, possibly because hamburger is a nutritional rival to themselves, and attempt to stop his hamburger creation. A small supply of pepper is available to chef to stop enemy food for a short while before they resume the chase. NCS recalls a Burger Time sequel that was released on the Intellivision but sadly, that is not included in this re-issue. In addition to the Burger Time game CD, a number of bonuses are included in <more>

PS2 Terra Cresta JPN

PS2 Oretachi Geasen Zoku Sono: Terra Cresta - New Import

Guide a ship called a Winger through vertically scrolling levels and shoot at anything that moves as well as ground-based foes that fire blips. The enemy ships are an exotic lot with streaming spheres, two conical pieces that hold an electrical charge between them, segmented rockets, and lumbering monsters that spit fireballs. Listen to them roar as they enter the screen. To combat the legions, five stages of power-ups are available for pickup. Gather together all five power-ups and the Winger becomes a powerful firebird capable of wreaking havoc on all comers. Despite its age, Terra Cresta remains a challenging and engaging shmup worthy of inclusion in any fanatic's library.

In addition to the Terra Cresta game CD, the following items are included inside the DVD packaging:

A 2D viewed volleyball game where the game perspective scopes the players and the court from the side. Jump, spike, and bop volleyballs against a skilled opposing team.

PS2 Yie Ar Kung-Fu JPN

PS2 Oretachi Geasen Zoku Sono: Yie Ar Kung-Fu- New Import

Before Street Fighter ruled the fighting landscape, a warrior in a white shirt named Oolong gripped gamers in a kung-fu frenzy. With a simple punch move and a kick, Oolong battles a flying opponent named Buchu, a gal aptly named Star who throws ninja stars, and a nunchaku wielding maniac named Nuncha. Beat those three and face off against a pole smasher named Feedle and a gang of fighters known as Feedle.

PS2 SDI & Quartet JPN

PS2 SDI & Quartet: Sega System 16 Collection - New Import

   The first portion of SDI or Strategic Defense Initiative takes place in space where a space shuttle unloads a lone satellite which them shoots at hundreds of enemy missiles and satellites. Move the satellite and cursor around to blast as many as possible while watching out for projectiles that are headed directly for the satellite. The game is reminiscent of the classic "Missile Command" except the supply of missiles in SDI is unlimited. In the next stage, the satellite has to protect a base from bombs that are dropping from space. Destroy them all as even one of them will blow up the whole shebang and end the game.
   Quartet is a side scrolling shmup where players take control of a mustached space jockey named Lee which grabs a booster pack and flies into battle against oddly apportioned space creatures. If more than one player is in action, the other three spacenauts are: Joe, Edgar, and Mary. The title Quartet refers to the four team members who can play at once if four compadres are available.
   In addition to the arcade originals of SDI and Quartet, Sega also includes the Mark III/Sega Master System versions of both games along with a historical gallery of nifty game art and promotional material.

PS2 Space Harrier Collection JPN

PS2 Space Harrier Complete Collection - New Import

Two decades ago, Space Harrier enthralled audiences with its pseudo 3D action where a Harrier ran into the screen while exotic enemies whirled, spun, and rallied against him. Stone faces, rampaging dragons, and silvery robots made up only a small portion of the dazzling sights to be seen as the Harrier shot them down from the sky or exploded them on the ground. To commemorate the 20th Anniversary of Space Harrier, Sega releases a compilation which gathers together the following classics:

1) The original Space Harrier arcade game
2) Space Harrier - Mark III/Sega Master System version
3) Space Harrier 3D - Mark III/Sega Master System
4) Space Harrier 2 - Mega Drive version

In the first level of the original Space Harrier, the Harrier flies into a planet named "Moot" which is populated with trees, floating rocks, and strange black globes which open up to release laser fire. Blast them all away to meet a green dragon which undulates as it flies and spits fire. Take too long to kill it and its rate of fire will increase to a rapid staccato. Run into a <more>

Eventually they reach a lake and the rain starts falling. As the horse drinks and shakes off water and they continue again, passing through green fields until they reach a mighty structure amidst the greenery. Rider makes his way to the top and eventually crosses a bridge to reach a castle.

* Upon starting the game, the intro cinema continues and the rider reaches the castle. The gate rises and the horse neighs its disapproval but the rider urges on into the darkness while the gate closes behind them. <more>

PS2 Space Harrier Collection JPN

PS2 Yoshitsune Eiyuuden Shura - New Import

Minamoto Yoshitsune only lived for 30 years (1159-1189) but left behind a legacy of awe-inspiring military victories, breathtaking vengeance, and tragic betrayal. Despite serving his brother Yoritomo (who would eventually become Shogun of Japan) in eradicating the Taira clan in a mighty sea battle, Yoshitsune was forced to commit suicide by a growing enmity between siblings. The rift was fostered by the slanderous tongue of Yoshitsune’s rival, Kajiwara Kagetoki.

Mythology gives Yoshitsune the honor of being trained in the way of the sword and all martial arts by Sojobo, the King of the Ten-gu demons. The update to Fromsoft's Yoshitsune game from earlier this year features new military campaigns and gives the player control of the legendary warrior as well as a contingent of generals who follow commands with fastidious dedication. A good portion of the game revolves around brutal hack 'n slash action where entire battlefields are thrashed through while the other portion requires a sharp tactical mind to marshal forces into defensive or offensive positions to defeat opposing armies. A split-screen 2-player is also available for two conquerors to compete against each other.

When attacking an enemy, the charge is be triggered; later in the game, the Charge system pulls off combo attacks. As one completes missions, Historical Events open up on the map for further adventure and discovery.
