THIS IS THE JAPANESE VERSION OF EXHUMED, AND IS INCREDIBLY RARE!Exhumed was released in the UK around the same time as Tomb Raider. It had no hype, and although due to very good reviews, it sold well, it was swamped by the hype of Lara and her Egyptian escapades. Also with an Egyption setting, Exhumed is a far better game, and also showed anyone listening that the Saturn really could do an awesome FPS! Sound, atmosphere, fright factor, graphics, lighting & level design are all astounding. The game is also very tough, but you respect if for that. One of the best games on any system!
Near-mint condition but no spine.
MINT CONDITION WITH REGISTRATION CARD, EXTRA BOOKLET & CARDBOARD OUTER SLIPCASE.

Right then, hands up who remembers Flashback (Amiga). O.K., keep them up if you remember Impossible Mission 2 (C 64). For you lot, just take the guy and some of the action from Flashback, set in stages from Impossible Mission 2 with the puzzles and infuriating pixel perfect jumping removed, add lots and lots of shooting and give it all a 32 bit update. For everyone else that doesn’t go misty eyed at the words “Another visitor…stay a while…stay forever!” picture a 2D platform action arcade shooter, with the emphasis very much on the shooting, set in cut aways of buildings and (as the title suggests) elevators to move you from level to level. As usual, Taito supply impeccable attention to detail with some great animation, cool sprite scaling and rotation, amazing playability and a complete disregard for animal rights activists everywhere. Yes, the people that brought you New Zealand Story are now encouraging you to gun down dogs like…well like stinking dogs. Just turn the violence mode to hard and watch with a disturbingly satisfying feeling as you daub the walls with the claret of your next victim or have them flail around in agony as you ignite them like a Swan Vesta. You take your choice from three characters with the usual power vs. speed trade offs and differing sub-weapons, with the ability to collect various weapon/point/food power ups along the way. And, if you’re so inclined, a friend can join in with you for some cool two player co-op. The order of the day here is sheer un-adulterated arcade pleasure, but don’t go loading it up with the expectation of finishing it within the hour. Refreshingly, your continues are limited to three, even on easy mode, so a good lasting challenge awaits.
New & sealed.
Unofficial prequel to D2, and was a huge hit in Japan. Pretty scary...
