Another colorful puzzle game by Taito. This time its a mix between Puzzle Bobble and Space Invaders. Rows of coloured balloons advance down the screen, and the player must shoot their own balloons at them. When three balloons of the same colour match up, they disappear. Theres also special balloons, which can stop time, or burst several balloons at once. Great puzzle game....
Football Champ is your typical football game. You can choose from 8 nations and have a match against the cpu or a human player. Its an okay game, even though the graphics are a bit cheesy and all the players seem to look the same. Also notice the quirky voice of the announcer. Always makes me laugh when I hear him shout out: Aah foul! etc....
In the game, the player guides the little witch Ptolemy through a series of single screen levels, the goal being to eliminate all enemies and proceed to the next level.

While in a caked form, the enemies can be either be destroyed by further magic attacks or by being dropped off a platform, possibly squashing other enemies below. Squashing more than one enemy results in an award of more points and, sometimes, in extra bonuses. 2000...

The enemies can fire from all directions at you, take one hit and youre history. Sure I j...
Short gameplay video of Taitos horizontally-scrolling shoot em up Darius Gaiden. Its a decent game with some cool bosses and different routes to choose once youve reached the end of a level. The soundtrack of this game is quite exceptional, with a womens voice singing. I cant remember having heard anything like that in any shmup before. Darius Gaiden is a solid game, so go check it out if you see it somewhere....
