Martial Beat<br />
Japan | SLPM-87014 | 1998<br />
SO YOU THINK DANCE DANCE Revolution gives you<br />
a good workout? Konami took DDR one step further and<br />
added martial arts. Martial Beat is a motion sensing game<br />
equipped with a non-touch sensor that recognizes the player’s<br />
movements, sensing both the direction and timing of every<br />
strike. In practice and fitness mode, the player is greeted by<br />
a real life instructor who will perform a task and prompt<br />
the player to perform the same moves, similar to Parappa<br />
the Rapper. However, it is in attack mode where the fun<br />
begins. Fight against an opponent by performing actual<br />
martial arts moves. Martial Beat was released in Japan containing<br />
a receiver which recognizes cordless sensors attached<br />
to the player’s wrists and ankles. This is the closest one can<br />
get to virtual reality on the PlayStation. A sequel was also<br />
released in Japan.<br />
Motor Toon G.P.<br />
Japan | SLPS-10001 | 1994<br />
POLY ENTERTAINMENT ARE THE geniuses behind<br />
the best-selling Gran Turismo. Before the massive success<br />
of GT, this developer was responsible for Motor Toon G.P.,<br />
which was one of the first PlayStation games released in<br />
Japan. Motor Toon was a cartoon racer that pushed the<br />
technical envelope with state of the art graphics never before<br />
seen in a racing game. Race against opponents while<br />
gathering power ups to assist you along the way. Bright<br />
colors and flat-color shading is used in order to provide a<br />
true cartoon look. This game should not be confused with<br />
the US release Motor Toon Grand Prix. Motor Toon Grand<br />
Prix is actually the sequel of this game.<br />
Little Big Adventure<br />
Europe | SLES-00698 | 1997<br />
JOIN TWINSEN, THE HERO PROPHET, on a surreal<br />
adventure through fantastical worlds to discover the Legend.<br />
Solve cryptic clues and defeat bad guys as you guide<br />
Twinsen to his destiny. This little known game is a port of<br />
the best-selling PC game “Twinsen’s Odyssey,” originally released<br />
by Activision in the US. Little Big Adventure was<br />
released in Japan, but because the game is text-heavy the<br />
English-language European version is more desirable to importers.<br />
The game sells for over $30.<br />
