Baku Baku

Baku Baku is another of the STV (Sega Titan Video) Arcade units that was granted a home port. The game itself is a simple concept you have pairs of falling blocks like in Puyo Puyo though instead of having to match colours you have to match the foodstuffs pictured on the blocks, occasionally a block with an animal will appear and you use these to trigger the destruction of the food blocks the larger the blocks/chains the more bonus you'll score. The combos are Dog/Bone, Rabbit/Carrot, Panda/Bamboo, Monkey/Banana & Mouse/Cheese. The PAL version of the game at first appears to be missing the 'League' mode that the Japanese version contains, however this mode is still accessable via a cheat code. The reason it is missing is that none of the menus in this mode were translated from Japanese. Also as an extra if you play the game CD you'll find that the PAL version of the game contains a bonus audio track not found on the Japanese or US versions.
