SuperLite 3in1: Arcade Game Shuu (2002)

Superlite 3 in 1 - Arcade Classic Syuu is a compilation of 3 arcade games released for the Playstation One console: - Superlite 1500 Series - Qix 2000 - Space Chaser 2000 [Superlite 1500 Series] - Crazy Balloon 2000 [Superlite 1500 Series] QIX 2000: Qix 2000 offers both a perfectly-translated version of the original and the insanely fun arrangement version, which updates the graphics (giving the Qix itself a Tempest X3-style psychedelic flair) and adds a few power-ups to the mix. The speed-up power-up makes even slow draw fast, and fast draw faster, but the speed-down power-up negates that effect - and heaven help you if you hit the latter while already operating at normal speed. As with just about every Qix variation since the bizarre Super Qix, claiming space on the playing field also gradually reveals an animè-style picture of a girl; I'll never truly understand why the original Qix underwent this transformation from a game of pure geometrics to a game of revealing pictures, but hey, it really doesn't affect the game. Letting Qix 2000 sit on its startup screen for a bit will eventually show you the original arcade attract mode in both graphics sets (with a few Kanji subtitles here and there - Qix is a rarity in that it originated from Taito's U.S. operation, and therefore it's always only had on-screen instructions in English). The most important new features of the PlayStation version are the vibration function and the new arrangement mode. SPACE CHASER: Space Chaser was an arcade machine made by Taito in the year 1979 which is comprised of 3 boards. Space Chaser was a 2-Dimensional maze racing game. You control your rocket through the maze to pick up the dots while at the same time avoiding the rocket, or rockets, that are constantly trying to ram you. Successfully get through one maze and many more await you. This is good practice for freeway driving in the big city. Space Chaser 2000 is a remake of the classic Taito arcade machine that features the Original mode with the arcade graphics and a new Arrangement mode with enhanced graphics, new backgrounds and vibration function. CRAZY BALLOON 2000: Crazy Balloon was first released in 1980 as an arcade machine by Taito. This is a game of strategy and skill! The object of Crazy Balloon is to guide a delicate swaying balloon through a maze of pin wheel obstacles. The PlayStation version features the dual shock vibration function and 2 different game modes: The original game and an arrangement mode that features remastered graphics. The player will try to get a balloon from one point to the end of a spike-walled maze, without popping it. The balloon constantly sways back and forth so you must be cautious. You cannot take all day because you are timed, as well. To make matters worse, in the later levels, you face moving spikes, Hurricane Man, who will try to blow you into a wall, and magnets that try to drag you into the wall.
