As you'd expect with this many games, not all of them are of the same standard, but each has its own unique charm. The Not Too Great Escape requires you to make it past a guard in a dustbin, Roach Spray sees you killing as many cockroaches as possible in 30 seconds, and Jump for the Meat speaks for itself. Many are games that have been stripped down to the bare bones, but in the same way that you can still spend hours playing Galaxians, you can play these. It's their bizarre nature that makes them not only enjoyable but so typically Japanese.

Although the game is classified as a puzzler, it's a bit like calling a tomato a fruit. It may well be one, but that doesn't mean to say you'd think it was. Some games test your reaction times, others your rhythm, and some simply your ability to button bash quicker than the next guy. Bishi's only major drawback is that it's very much a multiplayer game, although all the games can be enjoyed by the lone gamer. A great deal of pleasure can be derived from beating a mate, whereas a CPU opponent is, as yet, unable to appreciate smugness.

Bishi Bashi isn't a game that concerns itself with hi-tech graphics, or anything else hi-tech for that matter. Its low budget cartoonesque-style leads us to believe that its developers have decided to go back to basics and this psychedelic but simple approach has certainly won this office over.
