After buying and playing the game Incredible Crisis (for PS1, released in the UK in 2000) in a local games shop, I have found this game to be a little known ‘gem’.
As you can see some of the screenshots I have taken from the game in this post, Incredible Crisis includes many different weird and wonderful mini-games, such as cycling away from an oncoming steamroller or stopping a falling lift you just happen to be in. Although while comprising of around 24 different mini-games the game flows well and has a central story of a Japanese family who forget there grandmothers birthday, and the chaos caused by trying to keep there birthday promises to her.
I would imagine this quite a rare game now, due both to the number of games released in the Uk and the fact that few shops stock classic games such as this any more.
