The game was released in Japan in 1999 and in other territories the following year. 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.

The Last Blade
''The Last Blade'' is a fighting game developed and released by SNK for the Neo Geo system in 1997. It was also ported to several home systems. A sequel, '' The Last Blade 2'', was released in 1998. The game takes place during the Bakumatsu era in Japan, and incorporates various elements of Japanese mythology (with a heavy emphasis on the symbology of the Four Symbols). As such, the background music generally incorporates synthesized instruments simulating a sound appropriate to the 19th century setting, in a Western classical, pseudo-Romantic style (unusual for a fighting game).

It also took over several elements from cancelled Technōs/Face's '' Dragon's Heaven'' (which tentatively was named ''DarkSeed''). The gameplay is characterised by two selectable fighting styles, and a unique combo system along wit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
