12. Virtual Pro Baseball
Since the ball appears to be three-dimensional, it is difficult to control while being in front of it. It seems that they bought the rights to use real names, but I think that it’s necessary to have a considerable imagination in order, somehow or other, to picture those red-colored, cheap dot drawings as Ichiro and Motoki.

Akihabara’s Price: 50 Yen
13. V-Tetris
These were being sold cheaply by those who had plenty of surplus in their stores. 50 yen, 10 yen, and there was even a shop where it eventually became free. Still, so that it didn’t look like it had gotten lost, I figured I’d give them money for it as I was taking it out.

Akihabara’s Price: 0 Yen
14. Mario Clash
Although it has some elements that make it look like it could have been very interesting, due to some deep underlying reasons, it became a tragedy among games, getting released as a practically unfinished game. I think that they should have at least left a battery backup.

Akihabara’s Price: Sold Out
15. Wario Land
A late masterpiece that was released so as to show Nintendo’s energetic determination. It reasonably adds a three-dimensional presentation to the action and is also conscientiously made, but the effort was just a drop in the bucket. The villain Wario plays the lead role and is rather pitiful.

12. バーチャルプロ野球
●ボールが立体的に見えるので逆に操作しづらい。
実名表記がウリのらしいが、あの赤ー色のチープ
なドット絵かうイチローや元木をイメージするには
相当の想像力が必要と思うが、どうか。

●店頭にいつまでも大量に余っている安売りの友。
50円、10円ときて、しまいにタダになった店も
あった。それでもなくなる様子がないので、その

14. マリオクラッシュ
●非常に面白くなりそうな要素があるのだが
何か深い事情でもあったのかほとんど未完成の
ままに発売されてしまった悲劇のゲーム、せめて
バッテリーバックアップは残すべきだったと思う。

15. ワリオランド
●荏天堂の意地を見せるようにして発売された
晩期の傑作。アクションに無理なく立体的演出を
加え、作りも丁寧なのだが、まさに焼け石に水。
汚れ役のワリオが主役というあたりも哀れを誘う。
