8 great games featured from the Famicom (NES), Sharp X68000, Mega CD, Arcade, Saturn, Super Famicom (SNES) and PC Engine Super CD. Plus a close up look at the Sega branded Wondermega
Fixed picture size and sound quality over the original Retro Core as well as a much smaller file size. Again 8 great games featured from the Neo Geo (Art Of Fighting), Mega Drive (Bare Knuckle 2), Super Famicom (Umihara Kawase), Dreamcast (Soul Calibur), Arcade (Newzeland Story), Master System (Psycho Fox), Mega CD (Annette Futatabi) and Sharp X68000 (Akumajo Dracula /Castlevania/)
Retro Core Vol:3 promises to be the best so far ! Back by popular demand is the Hardware close up plus a new Vs feature which will show the same game running on two platforms. Here's what you can expect to see. Arcade Special (Film of inside a retro arcade), Best Christmas game ever (you probably know what this will be), Axelay and Run Saber on the SFC, Granada on the Sharp X68000, Bari-arm on Mega CD, Techomotor on Saturn, Panorama Cotton on the Mega Drive. PC Engine Vs Mega Drive special (Devil Crash).
Yet another improvement over the previous Retro Core shows with the high resolution version being almost 100 Meg smaller in size than volume : 3. Featured in Volume : 4 is an interview with a Japanese Retro Game store owner and well as a quick look around his shop. Of course there's loads of gaming goodies too, including a Final Fight special ! Just which home version of Final Fight is truly the best? Plus PC Engine Power Drift, Master System Phantasy Star, SFC Super Aleste, Saturn Sega Touring Cars, Dreamcast Rent-a-Hero, Neo Geo Metal Slug and Game Boy Turtles fall of the Foot Clan !! Enjoy.
Retro Core Volume 5 is jam packed full of goodies as youve come to expect. This months special is on the Super 32X (or just 32X in the west). Why was it such a flop? Retro Core takes a look at the games to show you why. Also featured are Vigilante on the PC Engine, Macros Scramble Valkarie and Wonder Project J on the Super Famicom, Tokyo Bus Guide on the Dreamcast, Goiken Muyou on the Saturn, Ganbare Goemon on the Famicom, Thunder Blade on the X68000 and Robocop on the Arcade.
Retro Core Volume.6 is now available after many weeks of problems filming and encoding it. The line up features some really nice extras such as the Hitachi Saturn close up and a PC88 Special featuring many games. Also featured on Vol.6 is Digital Dance Mix & Taromaru on the Saturn, Yuu Suzuki Game Works on the Dreamcast, Contra Spirits for the SFC, Street Fighter 2 on the X68000 and Dennen Aleste for the Mega CD.
Retro Core Volume 7 features for the first time FULL STEREO SOUND on all games !! Two new features are introduced in this volume which are "The Anime Corner" which shows the introduction from one of the many Japanese love adventure games out there and "Shite of the Month" which you can probably guess what that's about.
Games covered in volume 7 are Mega Drive Virtua Racing, Saturn Elevator Action Returns, PlayStation G-Darius, Super Famicom Chomakai Mura (Super Ghouls & Ghosts), Master System Dynamite Dux, Dreamcast Fushigi Dungeon and Arcade Mercs.
I think for the first time ever Retro Core has no out of sync problems at all thanks to a new method of recording the audio!! Featured in Vol:8 are the following great games - Transformers for the Famicom (Shite of the month), Kage also for the Famicom, Xmultiply on the arcade, Konohana True Report (Anime Corner), Rockman X4 for the Saturn, Sonic CD for the Mega CD, The House of the Dead for Mobile phones (Japan only), Trizeal and Napple Tale for Dreamcast and Batman for the Mega Drive. That's 10 games featured !!
Retro Core Volume 9 is now complete. 11 games featured this month in the shape of Vampire Chronicles (DC) - Assault Suit Leynos 2 (SAT) - Sakura Taisen 4 (Anime Corner) - Soldier Blade (PCE) - Initial D 3D Battle PLUS (Mobile) - Assault Suit Valken (SFC) - Battle Mania 2 (MD) - Sailormoon Super S Various Emotions (Shite of the month) - Crisis Force (FC) - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (AC) and finally Gunstar Heroes (GG). Twinbee was also going to be featured and was actually filmed but I felt that there are far too many shooters in volume 9 already.
Volume 10 features more games than ever before plus a brand new feature called East2West that shows how games are bastardized for the western market. In this first feature we take a look at what happened to NCSâs very colourful Ranma 1/2 when Irem released it in the States. Other goodies include Super Bikuriman on the SFC for Shite of the Month â Arcade Columns â97 â Saturn Sega Rally â Mobile Phone Metal Slug STG â Sharp X68000 Detana Twinbee (originally filmed for RC Vol.9) â Dreamcast Blue Submarine No.6 â Tech Romancer for the Anime Corner â Mega Drive Valis III â PSX Ridge Racer â Super Famicom Kikikaikai â Game Gear fatal Fury Special and Famicom Codename Viper. Thatâs whopping 13 different games or 14 if you count the East2West section as two different games.
Retro Core Volume 11 is full of goodies as you've come to expect including a special on the destruction of a PlayStation. Shite of the Month comes to use from Valis II on the X68000, Anime Corner from card Captor Sakura, and this months East2West features Puyo Puyo Vs Kirby's Avalanche. Also on the show we have Thunder Force IV for Mega Drive, Coryoon for PC Engine, Galaxy Force II Arcade, Asuka 120% for Saturn, Labyrinth for the Famicom, Samba De Amigo 2000 for Dreamcast, Space Harrier for the mobile phone and Tempo Jr. on the Game Gear.
I've done it again ! I've managed to get about 8 minutes of footage inside of Sega World Game Center before being caught (^v^). As well as that Volume 12 features 10 games plus the Anime corner. This months mobile gaming comes in the shape of Valis and let me tell you that it's miles better than your average mobile platformer. Also featured on the show is Berserk for the Dreamcast, Batman Returns for the SFC, Double Dragon on the Master System, Ridge Racer 4 on the PSX, Dead or Alive for Saturn, Arcade Sexy Parodius, Twinkle Star Sprites for the Neo Geo and Virtua Racing Deluxe on the 32X. Oh, and let's not forget this months Shite, Death Throttle.
Retro Core Tokyo Game Show 2005 Special is now available on DVD & Download featuring 57 games. The DVD version contains a bonus booth babes slide show and other pictures !! The cost of the DVD is 10 pounds (postage included. Comes on two DVDs)

Originally this was meant to be the opening game for the show but was later replaced by Densha De Go 2.
