Panzer Bandit1997

Nekketsu Oyako is a beat-'em-up by Technosoft released for the PlayStation in 1994 and the Sega Saturn in 1995. Neither version was released outside Japan. The title roughly translates to "Burning-Blood Family." The game is noted for its humorous presentation. For example, one stage takes place inside a whale, and alcoholic beverages (a healing item) can only be consumed by Rando while his two kids get an "adult only" message instead.

Mad Stalker: Full Metal Force is a PS1 remake of Mad Stalker: Full Metal Forth. It adapts the system so it’s closer to Panzer Bandit, also released by Fill-In Cafe in the same year. With the revamped controls, the action is much, much smoother. Like Panzer Bandit, there’s an auto guard when the controls are left in neutral, and you can also deflect enemy attacks by hitting them at the same time. Dashing and boost jumping have been assigned their own separate buttons, too. A few other things have been added as well, like an “overdrive” power gauge that can be discharged for more powerful maneuvers. Enemies also regularly drop health restoratives, whereas the previous versions only provided them at certain points in the stages. The sprites here are all the same, but the backgrounds are now 3D, and look entirely different. Despite the visual makeover, however, the stages and bosses are all still pretty similar. The music has been rearranged, though, with some tracks taken from a Mad Stalker soundtrack album released alongside the X68k game in 1994.

Tenchi wo Kurau II: Sekiheki no Tatakai is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up produced by Capcom first released originally as a coin-operated arcade game in 1992 and then later ported over to the PS1 and Sega Saturn. Tenchi o Kurau II: Sekiheki no Tatakai is a beat'em up with 9 stages, in each of which there are large mobs including spearman, archers, strongmen, bomb-wielding opponents, and at least one Wei boss. There can be up to three players on-screen at the same time. Using two buttons, Attack and Jump, the characters all have standard moves typical of Capcom side-scrollers of the day. Common enemies including Wei soldiers such as bandits, privatees, wrestlers, fatties and thieves will keep poping up from everywhere. In the end of each stage there is a Wei general as stage boss. Li Dian, Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Cao Ren, Xu Huang, the infamous Lu Bu as final boss. After defeating them all, there is also Cao Cao himself who would try to escape. There is also a variety of weapons in the game which can be picked up. As with most side-scrollers, food is used to replenish health and can be found in various breakable containers in the game level. One notable feature of the game is the ability to summon a warhorse which adds more attacks to the characters, generally involving pole-arms (except long bow for Huang Zhong)

"Bushido" is the soul of Japan - an ancient honor code deeply followed by samurai warriors for centuries. Plunge into real world battles across vast 3D environments that you can run, slice and tear through. Sword matches become unbelievably real where one critical blow is the mean difference between death and victory.

Ehrgeiz is a 3D fighting game that features some characters from Final Fantasy VII. Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart are playable in the arcade and the PlayStation versions, and Sephiroth, Yuffie Kisaragi, Vincent Valentine and Zack Fair were added to the PlayStation version's roster. Ehrgeiz differs from most 3D fighting games by drawing heavily from the concepts of wrestling games and Dream Factory's own Tobal series, which allow for full 360-degree movement and do not require fighters to be facing each other at all times.

Rapid Angel is a mix of 2D platformer and beat-'em-up, so the players will explore the levels fighting enemies, collecting power-ups and avoiding traps. While basic moves are the same for all characters (running, double-jumping, using bombs etc.), each girl has her unique fighting style with Natsumi and Ayane relying on physical attacks and Haruna using mostly distance-type magic attacks. Particular fragments of levels and story sequences are different depending on the character chosen by the player. Two more characters are unlocked after beating the game. In 2-player mode the second player controls an angel-thing that follows the first player's character aiding him along the way.

Blaze & Blade: Eternal Quest is an action RPG where you control a party of four. Character creation allows you to define a player's behaviour as well as their abilities. Your goal is to venture into The Forbidden Land, formerly known as Foresia, and deliver the land from evil. Foresia has been inhabited by monsters and demons since the time of the twelve Wisemen. These monsters and demons often transform into useful items once destroyed.

Rising Zan is a 3rd person action game with plenty of oddball humor and interesting situations. Zan, the main character wields the weapons of both of his trades... the Sword of a Samurai master, and the six-shooter pistol of an American cowboy. He'll need a variety of techniques to defeat the Jackal Clan and avenge his own lost battle. Zan proceeds through enemies and challenges in each level to eventually reach the boss who he then battles in some form of specialized combat or pattern. Once the boss is defeated, Zan gets the chance to unleash as much punishment on his foe in 30 seconds as he can; higher damage values will change the finishing move he uses to slay his foe.
