At first glance, Dungeon Explorer II looks nearly identical to its predecessor, using most of the same graphics and practically identical mechanics. Indeed, on the surface there's not much different, but what is there has been improved quite a bit. There are eight character classes at the beginning, just like the first game: Fighter, Thief, Wizard, Cleric, Bard, Hunter, Dwarf, and Elf. Each has a set name this time, although you can rename them if you want. Partway through the game, you can also upgrade them to an more powerful variation (Fighter becomes a Knight, Thief becomes a Rogue, etc.) It also expands on the hidden characters from the first game, by offering an additional seven characters to find and play as, bringing the total roster to sixteen. These include a Witch, Monk, Princess, Robot (!!), Engineer, and Beast. It's also a subtle improvement, but the character movement animation is also a bit smoother.
The game is a bit less linear than its predecessor, offering several subquests for additional items and experience, and features a much longer game in general. There are a few new items to be found, including one that repels enemies, and another that causes your weapons to bounce off walls. The towns also include a game where you can play Blackjack with the Grim Reaper, allowing you to gain or lose lives depending on your luck. The fully narrated intro (the North American version's acting was produced by Working Designs, meaning it's much better than your average English dubbing) tells the story of the downfall of Natas, but introduces a new enemy to destroy. The cinema graphics aren't that impressive, but the anime portraits when finding a new character are welcome. The cover artwork is also provided by fantasy artist Takuhito Kusanagi. The CD soundtrack is beyond fantastic, an impressive collection of synth rock that fit perfectly aside any of Falcom's Ys games. Which makes sense, considering it's composed by Yoshio Tsuru, who provided arrangements for many Falcom albums.
Dungeon Explorer II is definitely a much better game than the original, even if, outside of the awesome music, it doesn't take huge advantage of the CD format, other than offering a slightly more involved quest. The Japanese version is easy to find, but the North American release is extremely uncommon, and is one of the more expensive releases on the system (along with Bonk III, although not quite as pricey as Dynastic Hero.) It can also be found on the Wii Virtual Console.

It's just another day in modern Tokyo. A cute schoolgirl (or schoolboy, if you're so inclined to choose) is walking down a metallic pathway, when suddenly, robotic ape/lizard hybrids leap from nowhere, only to be slashed in twain with your sword that leaves a shower of sparkles in its wake. Reinforcements come in from all sides as you continue to press your way to the right. A large humanoid robot attacks, its lanky limbs forcing you to keep your distance. You hold your attack button, and after a moment you unleash your full power.
SHUBI BEEEEEEEEEEEAM!
A ball of energy rockets forth, defeating the robot and immobilizing it, but not destroying it. You climb into it, and take the controls. Bounding forward, the enemies that once caused a little trouble are completely decimated by your robot's newfound ability to blast the foes with tongues of lightning.

Sengoku Mahjong is set during the Warring States period of Japan, a tumultuous time when various warlords competed to rule the country. In this game, they do so by conquering their rivals at Mahjong.
As with most other Mahjong simulators, this is an accurate portrayal of the classic Chinese board game, complete with detailed tiles and animated character portraits. It is four player, though two players are obscured by the sides of the screen (the player can move the camera to see their tile walls, but not the tiles themselves). As per usual Mahjong rules, the first player to put together a winning hand - either from the tiles they collect at the start of each turn or the discarded tiles of other players - wins the game.
Though a Mahjong game set during the Warring States period was nothing new at the time, Sengoku Mahjong has the honor of being the first Mahjong game made for the Turbografx-16 system. As might be expected, it was never released outside of Japan. It was, however, rereleased on both the Wii's Virtual Console and PSN, in 2007 and 2009 respectively.

Fans of dungeon crawlers will enjoy the challenging quests, crazy monster hordes and the hundreds of equipment and skill combinations for beefing up soon-to-be hero students. Numerous hours of strategic gameplay, branching storylines and quests make Class of Heroes 2 a rewarding experience with rich replayability.
Class of Heroes 2 is a charming take on the Wizardry-style dungeon crawl games, but with a twist – all the party members are drawn from a pool of newly enrolled students at a Sword and Sorcery School, with over 140 challenging quests, 100+ dungeon maps, crazy monster hordes, branching storylines and endings, as well as hundreds of equipment and skill combinations for beefing up soon-to-be hero students. The refined J-RPG will feature numerous hours of strategic gameplay making Class of Heroes 2 a deep experience with plenty of replay value.
The game features 10 classes to choose from: Novice, Fighter, Swordsman, Ranger, Monk, Ninja, Sorcerer, Puppeteer, Idol, and one Mystery Class. Once a team is created, quests are offered and the party can choose their adventure path, unlocking ever more distant and dangerous areas to conquer as they grow in power and confidence. Monster parties can be more than one level deep in a single combat episode, leading to epic encounters of up to 12 or more monsters at a time, where managing a party’s ranged and melee skills can be the difference between victorious life and an ignominious death.
No dungeon crawler would be complete without an occasional boss, and Class of Heroes 2 doesn’t disappoint here, either, with nail-biting super-encounters littered on the path between your party and ultimate victory.
