Tobal 2 Legendary Hits

Square's first fighting game was a little number called Tobal No. 1 that was released in 1996. We still have a few hundred copies in stock... which bear witness to the folly of NCS' bulk purchasing agreements a decade ago. Square second fighting game was aptly named Tobal 2 which sees its first re-release this week in the form of a "Legendary Hits" reissue. While we wouldn't deem either Tobal game as legendary, they are somewhat enjoyable. Our main niggle with Tobal 2 is the difficulty of the game and what we consider to be sloppy programming. Other than that, it's okay. In addition to the 3D fighting action, Tobal 2 features a Quest Mode where a hero runs around a dungeon, a castle, a cave, a mine, and even a spaceship while battling enemies that are encountered.
