The crazy PC Engine's mascot is back in service and PC Genjin 3
is the third and last opus of the PC Genjin series for the system.
Players will find here all of the core gameplay elements which made
the PC Genjin series so popular - same wacky character designs and
(somehow) familiar landscapes. Our caveman's main attack, the head-kick,
still remains a major part of the gameplay and our hero has many tricks in his
"bald head" bag. As always, if he is fed with juicy meat he then
turns crazy and powers up - however, he can also turn cute and
cuddly and blow kiss-attacks at his enemies. Special
candies have been added to the arsenal of tricks PC Genjin can use in battle - blue ones makes our
him grow huge and red ones cause him to shrink into
a tiny head-butting fellow not larger than a mouse. This last
power can be especially handy to get through small holes and
other secret passageways. But the game has a lot more in reserve and our
hero can even turn into a red crab at times! A multi-player option
is available where two players can simultaneously enjoy intense head-butting action...

A rare PC Genjin 3 'Not for Sale' HuCard exists (picture on the left)
and was probably made available for some sort of promotional campain
by Hudson Soft.

PC Genjin 3 is, I think, the second best
game from the PC Genjin series on the PC Engine.
It is just fantastic - graphics are great and the game
is really long and challenging. It is however shorter than
PC Genjin 2 and I sort of agree with people who argue
that the second episode is the best... They are both great and
this last episode has a lot more crazy power-ups and wacky enemies
on display, but it feels a bit off and the world it depicts doesn't
really fit, to my taste, the one set in the first two episodes.
The giant house from the second area with its army of
odd enemies is the worst offender I think.
But PC Genjin 3 is nevertheless a must have,
a technical 'tour de force' and a very enjoyable game overall.
