Stranded in nature's pantry with the world's dumbest person.
Being shipwrecked is no picnic... unless you're shipwrecked on an island with the richest sea life and most bountiful forests on earth, in which case you'll be dining outdoors on fresh abalone, oysters, crabs, coconuts, vegetables, wild herbs and maybe even the occasional bit of sashimi.

Authentic right down to the printed circuitboard.
Japan Import: Three words: Track & Field.

Part Tetris, part Crunchie bar, all Hannibal Lecter.
US Import: Tetris mastermind Alexey Pajitnov must be turning in his grave! (Er, if he was dead. Which he isn't). It's now 23 years since he originally dealt the world a slice of block-based genius1 and developers are still churning out takes on it, with ever more elaborate twists.

But the real first mission was on SNES twelve years ago.
For anyone getting disheartened with the slew of impenetrable Japanese language RPGs and action adventures, whose insurmountable and squiggly language barriers have you weeping katakana tears of frustration, fear not. While you'll be scrolling through some screens of kanji dialogue between the stern-faced early-'90s action-style heroes of Front Mission 1st, every single drop-down menu command is written in English. Finally - an import game that's actually importer-friendly.

A game about pinball. And lacy pantaloons.
Life lesson #274: this reviewer reckons that anyone who says virtual pinball is fun is either a) lying, or b) the developer of a virtual pinball game. Virtual pinball is not fun. It's bland, it laughs at you, and it takes your hard-earned cash and making a break for the exit.
