Welcome to -- RETRO GAME DAISUKI ! -- a blog about the wonderful world of Japanese retro video games (ARCADE / PC-88 / X68K / MEGA DRIVE / SATURN / PlayStation / PC-ENGINE). Re-live the strangest games from the 80's and 90's. Retro games were our youth!

■VA EXTREMELY REAL ACTION ! SHINRA BANSHO is a 「SPACE HARRIER」type 3D shooting・action game developed by TELENET JAPAN. It was the first and only title that the company developed exclusively for the PC-88VA.

I just had to make a pause from retrogaming to talk about the new PS3 game 「PUPPEETER」 which in my opinion is nothing less than a true modern day masterpiece.

I haven't had much free time to play games lately, yet I've managed to spend some time with the new JOJO fighting game 「JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE : ALL STAR BATTLE」 for the PS3.

After clearing more than half of the story scenarios, my impressions are a bit mixed.

■I LIKE IT... THAT'S WHY.. IT WOULD BE NICE Your long time platonic love MISA has just married your older brother. Now you're left with no other choice but to foget the feelings you've always had for the woman that's just become your new sister.

■SF・HARD ACTION・ADVENTURE CARMINE LT. KERNIGHAN is part of an elite AFW special forces unit sent by the army to crush a replicant uprising. His orders are clear: Eliminate them... with extreme prejudice....

Today we will go back to 1990 and pay a visit to the the game center 「Z00N21」. Seems like a lively place.
