A late 1997 “complete version” of a 1996 PS1 release, Banpresto’s Time Bokan is a colorful vertical cute-em-up featuring all the vehicles from all the Bokan series up until that point.

Excellent anime FMVs, catchy music, sweet cartoony visuals, and tons of explosions and even a two-player mode… this game is a winner. Collect skull icons to turn into a giant, grab power-ups, and take down your enemies in a hail of “dorondo” (gunfire).

It’s very arcade-y in the best way. Play it — you won’t regret it.
