So I gave these the college try. HANAKO SAN GA KITA is not so good. It starts will cute cartoon movies and then you presented with a clunky navigation system. I'm guessing you have to find stuff to defeat the Dragon Balls rip-off bad guy. Strangely I have sinced ceased to care... 2DO Arukotowa Sandoahru- much better. I was stumped by the fish and the ice cream but I was charmed by this games presentation. The color, the music and the "hey give us back our treasure!" story. I laughed at most of the stuff. Burning Towel was the first mini game I got to. I think after this game I may bring Panic! out for the ol' Sega CD. A smile on a game CD for sure. |

On fish you just need to find the frontmost one. For ice cream... I don't remember. I know there was a snow cone one where you basically have to rotate the d pad as fast as you can... Burning Towel is a great way to start the game. Quite possibly the funniest minigame ever conceived. |

Played some Black Dawn then I returned to 2DO Arukotowa Sandoahru. I am the Sno-Cone making Master now ;) Plus I finished stage ONE and got to the lake. Notable mini games (I made up my own titles)- High Rise Hammer Rescue Green Light Driving to Your Gal Flopping Fish Cube The Stage Boss Squash The Tale of Two Lions and One Steak ( ***ROCKS***) Get Granny's Money Motor Mayhem Shoot a Coin I was stopped cold on the 16 tonne punch game. My bad timing. I'm gonna practice up so I can whipass on more smarty pants frogmen. Did this used to be an arcade game overseas? It seems very arcade, in the best ways. |

The puzzle & action games were all originally arcade games. The series started with Tant-R (available on Saturn as part a compilation pack with a trivia game - the comp is called something like syukudaigatantoahru) then went on to Ichidant-R (also available on Saturn as part of a different compilation pack with a different trivia game - comp called something like Roukaniichidantoahru - I have both and can double check if you want). Sand-R, or Treasure Hunt as it was called when it was released in US arcades, was an arcade game on the STV board, but the Saturn port adds a whole lot more to it. There is a fourth game, but sadly it did not receive a home port. Perhaps we shall see one someday, as we have now seen a home port of Sonic the Fighters. Sand-R is defnitely my favorite in the series - the large sprites and mild use of 3D really adds a lot to the game. Also, if you have a PS2, you can play a Tant-R remix (with minigames from Ichidant-R thrown in for added measure) on Sega Classics Collection (or Sega Ages 2500 series vol. 6 - Tant-R / Bonanza Bros. if you only like Japanese games) |

I'm pretty fond of the "shoot a coin" game's ending. that huge thumbs up with the distorted voice saying "OKAY!!!" makes me laugh every time. |

To think you sold this game away for the crime of not having a spine card... Works for me :) It so rules. Thanks! |

that's just the thing - it's cheap enough that I can replace it anyway. |
