![]() ![]() ![]() Tekken 2 makes people take closer notice of painful looking grapples captured via different camera angles and the European launch of Sony’s PlayStation broadens the audience for video games considerably around these parts. This is a real moment of transition, where 3D polygons start eclipsing 2D graphics in popularity, both in the arcades and in home gaming. The 8th episode of the Video Wizards Podcast is a huge one: we travel to a little bit over the middle of the mid 90s, namely the month of September in the year 1995.

A powerful boss enemy awaits player at the end of each stage. Health levels can be replenished by finding food that lies hidden in breakable crates scattered through the stages. However, some of the player's health is lost in the process. These powerful attacks reduce the power meter but it does replenish itself after a few seconds. The power meter allows for the special attacks to be made, either by pressing both standard attack and jump simultaneously, or by pressing the special attack button. Each player-character has both a life bar and a power meter. Weapons have limited uses and will disappear if the player is disarmed by an enemy too often or when the player moves to a new area. Items such as weapons, health recovery items, and items awarding extra points can be picked up by standing over one and pressing the attack button. A thrown enemy can be tossed at another for additional damage. ![]() When an enemy is grabbed, the player can perform a grab attack by pressing the attack button or perform a throw by tilting the joystick left or right. Enemies can be grabbed simply by walking into one of them. The final blow of the combo can be changed to a throw if the player moves the joystick in the opposite direction just before landing it. Pressing the standard attack button repeatedly when attacking will trigger a combo from the player-character. Controls consist of an eight-way joystick and three buttons standard attack, jump and special attack. Guardians is a horizontally-scrolling beat-em-up for one or two players featuring eight selectable characters. Arcade Video game published 28 years ago: Guardians / Denjinmakai II © 1995 Banpresto.
