Cleopatra Fortune
, released in North America as ''Cleopatra's Fortune'', is a 1995 arcade puzzle game created by Taito in association with Natsume. Gameplay The gameplay is similar to Tetris in which the player has to direct blocks of stone, mummy and/or treasure to create closures which eliminates the treasure and adds to the player's score.

The Evil Swine Return
''Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return'' is a platform-adventure game developed by Whoopee Camp and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation.

The game is a sequel to ''Tomba!'' and centers on the exploits of the eponymous feral child as he attempts to rescue his girlfriend Tabby from an evil race of anthropomorphic pigs. While ''Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return'' retains the basic game mechanics and "event" system of its predecessor, it features the additions of fully 3D environments and an assortment of collectible suits that augment Tomba's abilities. The game was received positively by critics, with particular praise going to the gameplay variety, controls, and visuals. Reception to the audio was mixed, and criticism was directed at the large number of tedious events and simplistic, repetitive boss battles.

Tomba!
''Tomba!'' is a 1997 platform-adventure game developed by Whoopee Camp and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation. It was released in Japan in 1997 and in other territories the following year. The game centers on the eponymous feral child as he attempts to recover his grandfather's bracelet from an evil race of anthropomorphic pigs. Creator Tokuro Fujiwara developed ''Tomba!'' after leaving Capcom in 1995, founding Whoopee Camp as director, producer and lead designer. He chose the game's 2D side-scrolling perspective for the format's straightforward nature, and created a non-linear "event" system to differentiate the game from other platforming titles. ''Tomba!'' was received positively by critics, with praise for its controls, visuals, and varied gameplay objectives. However, the game's audio received a more mixed reception. Despite the game's lackluster commercial performance, it was followed by a sequel in 1999, '' Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return''. '' ...
