| SD Gundam: SD Sengokuden: Kunitori Monogatari | Bandai | 1990 | This is one of those games that I seriously wanted to like, but just can't. Let's look at the positive aspects of this game first. The concept of mixing strategic movement of units over the map with action battles is not new, but interesting on paper. SD Gundam Gachapon Senshi for the Famicom came out earlier and is pretty similar, just with overhead battles instead of side-view battles scenes. And in SD Gundam Sengokuden: Kunitori Monogatari you can choose between a classic turn-based movement of the units and real-time movement. Due to the smaller maps and less units on the maps the game plays much faster than the Gachapon Senshi games, which is a good idea for a handheld game. Graphics are not bad. The maps look a bit simplistic, but the units and backgrounds of the battle areas look quite good for an early Gameboy game. And there is quite a large number of different units in the game. So far everything sounds good. However the game just plays so bad, especially the battle sequences. You cannot avoid them and they are a very crappy button-mashing affair. Too fast, too hectic, just plain unfun. It basically ruins the gameplay. The music is very annoying and only acceptable when turned off. And there is no story mode. You can choose every of the ten maps from the very beginning. All in all much wasted potential. | labelimageminimize |

| Battle Unit Zeoth | Jaleco | 1990 | One last hope against the Heavy Metal Horde...Battle Unit Zeoth! - You've got everything you need! - A formidable foe! - A fired-up offense! - A dangerous mission! - A-MAZE-ing action!*** [69]*** [37]*** [29]***A shooter featuring a flying robot as the main character. The side-scrolling stages are notable due to the fact that the level is actually about three screens tall. The scrolling stages are broken up by levels where you must travel vertically. Zeoth does not maintain flight automatically; the player must actually manage the thrust button to make him hover in the air. If the button is released, he will float to the bottom of the screen andl travel along the ground. Double-tapping the fire button releases a 'smart bomb' that destroys all enemies but drains some of Zeoth's power. There are only two weapons, but these have three levels of power (usually adding an extra shot with each level). Despite some neat ideas, the game gets a little repetitive. Dying at any point puts the player back at the beginning of the stage, which is frustrating. However, it might be of interest to mecha fans, especially because the designs feel very anime-ish and mechanical. [Jacquismo] | labelimagesubject |
