LMA Manager (PS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PSone
from: Codemasters


This was the first ever managing game that I got, and in my opinion, it is never tiring, never boring and in all honesty a lot easier to understand than LMA 2002. No wage budgets, no player power, it's simple, and it benifits from it. Unfortunately, it's slightly old and unrealistic, but it is a lot more user friendly than Premier Manager 2000 (not an adequate replacement for this game!) or other Playstation platform Managing games. It's also jam packed with challenges, top class players and fat managers (beware, even if you are not fat in real life the game percieves you as a balder Ron Aktinson). Don't be put off by the disturbing music, it is the supreme Playstation Managing game.

Lion King II: Simba's Mighty Adventure

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PSone
from: Activision


Being a great fan of the Lion King and the original Virign Interactive platformer, I eagerly awaited the release of this game, only to be disappointed from the word go.
The first thing that hits you is the poor quality of the graphics. It seems as if each character has been constructed from a minimum of polygons, whilst the environments are poorly detailed and simplistic.
Bu bad graphics could be forgiven if good gameplay was in evidence. Unfortunately, it isn't. Even as a full grown lion, Simba can only roar, rool and pounce, and all of these moves can be quite awkward to pull off, especially against against a moving enemy, where I, for one, found any kind of accuracy almost impossible to achieve. The game would have been so much ... Read More:

Spider-Man

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PSone
from: Activision

September 15, 2000
This is still the greatest spidey game ever created, even with the free-roaming graphically better games based on the three movies. This game is more closely based on the comics than the movies than any other adaptation and makes the perfect game for any fan of the comics.
The controls are really easy to get to grips with, you'll be swinging from roof-toop to roof-top, beating up bad guys and doing some of that good'ol trademark wallcrawling you hear so much about in no time at all. The storyline is a real mystery/thriller involving spidey being framed, some of his worst enemies teaming up in a vast conspiracy, venom kidnapping mary-jane and a symbiote invasion of new york. If that wasn't good enough you've also got some fantastic level ... Read More:

Theme Hospital

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PSone
from: Electronic Arts


This game is not the best graphically desgined game in the world, but heck what a game. You get to set up and run your very own hospital, from the staff to where the raditors go. It is fun and free with lots of unique and extremely funny illnesses.

Once you have completed this game, you can easily just play it again and has quite a long shelf life.

I would defo recommend to anyone who likes this sort of game, along with the likes of theme park, rollercoaster tycoon or sim city.

It's a classic that everyone should own!

Koudelka

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PSone
from: Atari

September 29, 2000
...to other RPG's. I've never played anything like this before. I completed 'Final Fantasy', and 'Shadow Hearts' and was actually looking for 'SH Covenant'. I still havent bought Covenant yet, as I'm still playing through Koudelka!
It was a little difficult to get used to the controls, and the gameplay is a little off at times, but other than there being a few too many random battles I saw no other problems that I can tell of.
I love the storyline, and the events that unfold from doing each action. The realistic cut-scenes just add to the whole effect of the game, and I'd highly recommend this game to anyone who was looking for a difficult and yet easy game to play.

Driver (PS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PSone
from: Infogrames

July 07, 2000
I first played Driver a couple of years ago. I picked it up in Woolworths after realising they didn't have London Racer, so, thinking it looked good having seen it on the shelves in there before, I decided to give it a go. It was amazing. I love the motel room part of the game, where you can choose one of up to three different missions every time via the answering machine. I love the overall atmosphere of the game, too-it's got massive cities and is a nice, simple game that is the perfect introduction to the Driver world.
The missions aren't too hard, but deliver the right amount of punch. They're exciting, and really involve you in the game. It actually took me about six weeks or so to get past the initial interview stage of the game, but once I did, ... Read More:

Legend of Dragoon

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PSone
from: Sony

January 19, 2001
it was said at the time that legend of ddragoon could beat final fantasy and in a way it wasn t far from it the gameplay is really original and addictif and the storyline quite moving but to compare to a final fantasy it comes a bit short but still it s a brilliant rpg to put next to the ff series and xenogear and vagrant story ...

Premier Manager 98

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PSone
from: Gremlin Interactive


I have a simple rule forever in my head now; never buy another LMA game. About 3 minutes to do a game & about 2 months to do a season (if you're lucky.) On the other hand you have this stroke of genius, invented by a few of the greatest game designers of all time. Instant results & half an hour seasons (on 2 player mode) are absoulutely brilliant. Me & my mate George see each other usually about 2 or 3 times a month, yet we are starting the season 2035-2036. I have guided Halifax Town to Premiership glory about 4 times & George isn't fairing badly at all. This is plain example that simple is simply better. (& by the way i'm Matt not Mandy)

I have to admit I wasn't to sure what this game entailed.After a few minutes of trying it out,I was totally addicted.It takes a superhuman effort to drag me away from it!I enjoy the cut scenes from the game,and love the weaponry on offer.I personally always fight for the good guys,and just love building my fortress up from scratch,and taking the bad guys out!Hugely enjoyable!Can't wait to build up the collection.

World class is used reguarly these days as is 10/10. Other adjectives just simply cudnt describe this game. Fun beyond imagination with plenty of quirks tht will leave u and ur mates rolling round the floor. True class. Well done Namco.
