Description: This one's kind of like a maze/interaction game, kind of like a cross between Zelda and Final Fantasy Legend. You're Ranma, and basically you have to move around, trying to find the way out, and occasionally fighting. Sometimes if you're changed by water (yes, there's water ^_^) you won't have to fight.

"Ranma 1/2" This one's the first Ranma fighting game made for the SNES. It features characters such as Mousse, Ryouga, Akane, and both versions of Ranma and appears to have a "tag team" and "VS" Mode as well. Unfortunately as Ranma I was only able to get to the third stage or so, where I was promptly whooped by Kunou. Frankly, the CPU engine is pretty tough and uses a lot of anti-air moves, so you really have to be careful. It's a pretty fair game for its time, though.
"Ranma 1/2 Bakuretsu Rantou-hen (Hard Battle)" Hard Battle is the only Ranma 1/2 game (for now) to be released here in the US. The voices are obviously not Viz actors, and they do sound a little choppy, but at least you can hear some of the moves being called out, like "Hiryu Shoten Ha" and "Shishi Hokoudan". There are ten characters: Ranma-kun, Ranma-chan, Akane, Shampoo, Ukyou, Mousse, Genma-panda, Ryouga, and Gambler King . The boss is Pansuto Tarou, who you have to fight twice (once as human, once as bull/yati/eel). You can play as either form of Tarou once you beat the game with anyone, and if you beat the game with Tarou, Happosai is your boss, and you can play as him, too (with a special code)

"Ranma 1/2 Akaneko-dan teki Hihou (Hidden Treasure of the Crimson Cats)" A cute looking RPG-type game, but the graphics could have been a lot better. Still, if you like RPG's, it's an ok game to play. Apparently, Ranma is tossed into another dimension while in pursuit of Crimson Cats Gang. Characters come and go, but Ranma is always part of your group, of course. ^_^ Akane, Mousse, and Shampoo, are among your companions in the game. I highly suggest you read or save the FAQ to your hard drive - unless you can read Japanese. ^_-

"Ranma 1/2 Chougi Rambuhen (Super Skill Wild Dance Chapter)" (review written by Al Fong) One word. Cool. Graphics nicer than the previous two fighting games. Although slower than Hard Battle and Neighbourhood Combat, the game surpasses them in all other areas. Twelve characters: Ranma-kun, Ranma-chan, Ryouga, Moose, Shampoo, Ukyou, Akane, Mariko, Genma-panda, Kunou, Kodachi, Hinako (actually thirteen. The boss is also usable in this game). Herb is the boss in this one. Each character has two or three special moves and one super move which can be done when he/she is powered up (powering up makes you vulnerable to attack, though). This game was to be released in late '94 or early '95 using Viz dubbed voices, but was canceled due to ToHo's poor sells of the Ultraman game that was released about a half year earlier. ToHo didn't want to lose any more money on importing japanese anime games to North America that would not be a hot seller and there were already too many fighting games (like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat) that had the North American video game market beyond the saturation point.
"Ranma 1/2 Ougijaanken" (?) (review written by Al Fong) Relatively new, pretty neat puzzle game... if they've got puzzle games like Dr. Mario, Columns, and Baku-Baku, why not make one for Ranma 1/2? Four different types of "tiles"- rock (red fist), scissors (blue "peace" symbol), paper (yellow palm), and "bubbles". The general idea behind the game is simple- rock-scissors-paper... putting a rock on top of a scissor would beat the scissors, a paper beats rock, etc. Whenever a "reaction" is made, the adjacent "bubbles" disappear (allowing for chain-reactions). After a certain number of chain-reactions, characters execute special techniques (like Ranma's "kachuu tenshin amaguriken". Six playable characters in the game as far as I know: Ranma, Akane, Ryouga, Shampoo, Moose, and Genma. Each character has different offense, defense, attack, and speed ratings, giving certain advantages or disadvantages in gameplay. The Gambler King is also in this game as a boss, but as of writing time, there aren't any codes available (sorry). Game also has water (which reduces the offensive capability of a "cursed" person and helps in getting rid of blocks in tight spots), versus mode, and a "story" game (Ryouga's on the moon! ).

"Akane's Revenge" I thought this one was very cute when I played it. It's a freelance programmer's idea of a game, and it plays a little like Galaga or Invaders (I hope I don't have to tell ya what those games are about ^_^), only with a twist - you play as an SD Akane (you may recognize the image) throwing mallets at various enemies (Happosai, Azusa, etc.). When you kill all the enemies, you go on. It's kind of easy going until the third stage (Cologne). It's got catchy music (especially first stage) and there's a password feature. Oh, and once you start "New Game", you have to press either "Shift" or "CTRL" or "Space Bar" to start the actual game. A must have for Akane fans. You don't need any Emulators or anything to play this little game - just download and unzip.
NOTE: Some people have been complaining to me that they are missing a certain file, knpg.dll, to play the game. If you get that error message, please download the knpg.dll file I have linked below the main download of "Akane's Revenge". ^_^
Tired of dying and starting over? Here are the passwords to the levels.

Ranma Concentration This one's a Ranma version of Concentration, a memory game in which you turn over cards one at a time trying to find pairs. When you find a pair, you take out those two cards. The goal is to get all the pairs in as little tries as possible.

Shampoo Puzzle game This one's also simple - there's a fragmented pic of Shampoo. Click "Scramble" and the pieces are scrambled up, with your job being to reconstruct the Chinese Amazon's lovely face. ^_^ The only thing you need to know is that the window for the game opens up a little low on Windows 95 systems, obscuring the Scrambling buttons. Just move the window up so you can start. Another simple time killer, nothing more.
