Ghost Chaser Densei
In the running for most misleading title of all time, but a sturdy beat-em-up power-trip that gives players a massive arsenal of moves that make tossing robots and monsters around a real treat.
Mechanics are the focus here, 100%, with the story and characters reading as cardboard flat across the board and the level designs and music echoing other competitors in the genre with little of their own identity.

Oha Suta Dance Dance Revolution GB
Songs are great but that's it. It's basic DDR but without the peripheral that makes it famous. Has two mini-games, one of which serves no purpose and another that you have to play upwards of 100 total levels to unlock the hidden songs and difficulty. It's subpar DDR hidden behind the simplest version of Lunar Lander ever released. Damn shame, because the visual presentation is ADORABLE.

Klaymen Gun-Hockey
Slam the X button to shoot the puck back, slam the square button to turn on power-ups that turn the game entirely in your favor in all but the final round. It's plenty stylish, but it has zero substance to make it last. Further evidence that TenNapel has zero juice and that no amount of quirky PSX design can salvage colorful garbage.

Ane-san
Biker girl gang pummels their way to dominance, recruiting defeated bosses, buying decorations for their room, and making scary faces at one another in intimidation mini-games. It's heaven on paper, but is marred by a simple one-button control scheme that makes combat either boring or intensely punishing depending on what items you purchase to bolster your stats. But hey, one of the boss fights takes place to a cover of "Holding Out for a Hero" so...
It's also got some incredibly damaging fatphobia in there which has aged like rotten milk, so be aware of that before starting.

Dead of the Brain
Incredibly strong vibes bogged down by obtuse command expectations. You wanna go into the bloody hallway? Better have clicked on every single item in the precinct five times from ashtray to piece of paper. Like a lot of PC-98 adventure games, it gives you control but forces you through these interaction funnels, meaning you'll spend more time fumbling through clicking anything and everything than playing.
The lightning fast gun and escape sequences are an amazing touch, and graphically the game is DISGUSTING to the perfect degree. I still recommend it, but do so with a warning: Click on EVERYTHING even if you don't think it's important, because if you don't you'll HAVE to later.

Puppet Zoo Pilomy
An eight year old and the weird creature that may or may not be threatening him commit crimes against existence by building abominations of modern science. You can try to build normal animals, but eventually you WILL either slip, become curious, or reach a point in progression, and you will make a beast that cries for you to kill it.
It's coated with an extremely cute and strange veneer, the music is charming, the map makes sense, and the built in dual-language text is a huge blessing. It's more a toy than a game, with the gameplay becoming incredibly repetitive well before the credits roll. But it is INTERESTING. Which is always the bigger sell to me.
"Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created?"
