Bomberman 64: The Second Attack!, Nintendo 64
Bomberman 64: The Second Attack! is actually the second Bomberman sequel on the Nintendo 64, so could have been called “The Third Attack!“, but it is a direct sequel to Bomberman 64, thus the name. It was developed by Hudson Soft and published by Hudson themselves in Japan in 1999, and by Vatical Entertainment in North America in 2000, and it is another fully-3D Bomberman game.

Bomberman Hero, Nintendo 64
Published by Hudson Soft in 1998, Bomberman Hero was the second Bomberman game released for the Nintendo 64. It is considerably different to the previous N64 Bomberman game (Bomberman 64), but is still set in a fully 3D environment.
Evil Dead: Hail to the King, Dreamcast
Evil Dead: Hail to the King was developed by Heavy Iron Studios and published by THQ in 2000. It is a survival horror game based on Sam Raimi‘s classic cabin-in-the-woods horror film, and – to be honest – it’s pretty bad. Which is a pity because I’m a big horror film fan (have been since I was a teenager), and this game should be right down my street.
Dragon’s Lair 3D, GameCube
Known as “Dragon’s Lair 3D: Return to the Lair” in North America, this fully-3D action adventure is a reimagining of Don Bluth‘s classic laserdisc arcade game, Dragon’s Lair. And it works brilliantly well. Dragon’s Lair 3D was published for the GameCube by THQ in Europe, and Encore, Inc. in North America, in 2002. It was also released for PlayStation 2, Windows and XBox.
Bomberman 64, Nintendo 64
Bomberman 64 was the first true 3D game in the Bomberman series (I do not count 3D Bomberman, from 1984, as a true 3D Bomberman game). It was initially released for the Nintendo 64 by Hudson Soft in 1997.
The Typing of the Dead: Overkill, PC
The Typing of the Dead: Overkill was developed by Modern Dream and published by Sega in 2013. It is a first-person shooter that fuses the gruesome and colourful horror of the House of the Dead series, with keyboard typing mechanics. A sort of: “Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing with Zombies and Monsters“, if you will.
Ice Nine, Game Boy Advance
Ice Nine was one of the last first-person shooters released for the Game Boy Advance. It was developed by Torus Games and published by BAM! Entertainment in 2005, and it was originally going to be a tie-in with the 2003 film The Recruit. However, this fell through when the film failed commercially, but the plot of the game remains mostly unchanged.
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, Game Boy Advance
Also known as “Ecks vs. Sever II: Ballistic” in Europe, this is the second video game based on the 2002 film, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, directed by Wych Kaosayananda and starring Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu. The first game – Ecks vs. Sever – came out in 2001 and is one of the better first-person shooters on the Game Boy Advance. This game was developed by Crawfish Interactive and published by BAM! Entertainment in 2002.

Ecks vs. Sever, Game Boy Advance
Ecks vs. Sever is a first-person shooter based on an early draft of the script of the 2002 film, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, starring Antonio Banderas (as Jeremiah Ecks), and Lucy Liu (as Sever), and was released before the film had even begun production (which is very unusual). The game was developed by Crawfish Interactive and published by BAM! Entertainment in 2001. A second Ecks vs. Sever game, called Ballistic, was released in 2002.
