Bishi Bashi - PlayStation Games - Bishi Bashi Special

The European release of Bishi Bashi Special is a compilation containing two games; Super Bishi Bashi and Hyper Bishi Bashi, published for the PlayStation by Konami. In Japan these games were released separately as Bishi Bashi Special and Bishi Bashi Special 2. It is possible for up to eight players to play simultaneously via two PlayStation Multi Taps. Each game in the compilation contains mini games, some are loosely based around arcade classics such as Breakout ("Car Destroyer) and Pac-Man ("Super Gulper"). Other games, such as "Perm-Mania," in which the player plays as a dancer and has to keep in time with the rhythm to make his dancer's afro hairstyle grow, and "Jump for the Meat", in which the player plays a bodybuilder on a pogo-stick who has to jump high in order to grab a piece of meat, appear to be more original creations.

Each game begins with a brief set of instructions in order to give the player an idea as to what to do in the game ahead. The game has a rather Japanese feel to it with the accents of the narrator and general theme of many of the games being of Japanese origin.
