Samurai Pizza Cats

That's right, pizza fans. Everyone's favorite anime show is now a video game! I, for one, was disappointed that this game was never released in North America. Supposedly, only the best games were released here. What about Elevator Action? They released Elevator Action here, but not SPC? What is the world coming to? Superb graphics and play control add nicely to the sheer enjoyment that this game brings. This game, to me, is inexplicably fun to play. And of course, the replay value is insanely high. I, for one, enjoy going back and beating up on all of those crows time after time. This game reminds me of Capcom's Darkwing Duck for some reason. This is the best game that came out of Temco, by far.

The idea of Samurai Pizza cats is to run around and beat up upon the Big Cheese's diabolical machines.You can run, walk, jump, claw, stab, and even whack with an umbrella! Throw in all of the show's regulars, including Jerry Atric, Bad Bird, and Lola (that psychotic rocket lady). As an added bonus, you can call on the Rescue Team to help you swim through, fly over, blow up big rocks to walk by, and dig past your obstacles, as long as you have enough "help" points. Plus, you can preform super moves, as long as you have enough Ninpo... whatever that is. Some super moves include Speedy Servichez's (the leader of the bunch) "Slice", Polly Ester's "Heart toss", and Guido Anchovie's "Sunspot Umbrella". After defeating level 1, you can play any level you like. The levels range from an underwater adventure to a battle on top of a building to a march through a mountain. A big bonus is that the game isn't frustratingly hard. I still go back to this game as one of my favorites.
