| * sharc: On its own merits this is a somewhat standard horizontal shooter for its time. However, the PC88 really struggles with fair, playable shooters in general and fast-moving sprites, smooth scrolling and layers of parallax in particular; it's quite a feat to wrangle the hardware for all that in one game. Despite different team names, this is the work of the same doujin circle that did MELTDOWN and ReFight, though this is probably the most polished and professional of their games. Unsurprisingly, it's also the only one with a retail release. | * sharc: On its own merits this is a somewhat standard horizontal shooter for its time.

| * sharc: A truly unusual adventure game that throws you into an alien world with no information, with success depending as much on observing and understanding the world around you as it does on exploring, fighting or solving puzzles. As a disembodied spirit, you first need to possess bodies for basic physical tasks like opening doors or picking up items. Noting details about your enemies, like which of the first area's soldiers outranks the others, is crucial.\\ Obtuse in every sense, especially some of the puzzles you have to solve, but as an interesting touch all the dialogue is in some form of English. While this was intended to obfuscate even basic communication, for native speakers it makes the game more or less entirely accessible. | * sharc: A truly unusual adventure game that throws you into an alien world with no information, with success depending as much on observing and understanding the world around you as it does on exploring, fighting or solving puzzles.
