@>     1. Crazy Hospital-  wow, the price on this was pretty high at about 
@> $90.  what's it about? i've never even heard of it before. 
Your typical "Interactive Comic" with service shots.  Probably not
worth $90, unless you are *really* into that sort of thing... gameplay
is minimal.

@>     2. Renny Blaster- yikes, this game is going for about $180.  is it 
@> any good?  what should i know about it.   
Renny Blaster tried to be the "next" Dracula X.  It succeeded in some
ways, and failed in others.  Basically think dark platformer.  Very
detailed graphics and decent response, but minimal replay value once
you have made your way through the game.  I felt slightly ripped off
when I bought it new for $65 back in the day...

@>     3. ???- this game is by hudson soft. it's got kabuki on the cover 
@> and the screenshots make it look like bomberman meets tengai makyou.  
@> surely, this must ring a bell with someone. 
Sounds like "Deden No Den" (HCD4064) -- it is what you think it is.
And other than being a promotional item, I know nothing else about it
(why it was released, etc).  It is not altogether rare, or at least 
was not...10 years ago.

@>     4. sylphia- any opinions on this game?
Excellent shooter, and highly underrated.  Has pretty much the same
gameplay as Spriggan (collect capsules for different weapons).  Certainly
has a darker atmosphere to it than Spriggan though.  And is a lot harder.
If you can get it for a decent price, it is, in my opinion, well worth it.
