0 to Z of Playstation 1 Games - 3D Shooting Tsukuru

                               

3D Shooting Tsukuru also know as Shooter Maker to import fans is a 3D third person Sci-Fi shooter developed by RPGMaker creator ASCII Entertainment and was released in Japan only in 1996.

3D Shooting Tsukuru allows the player to make their own on rails shooter games, allowing players to modify many setting and graphics to create their own Star Fox, you can modify your vehicles look, movements, weapons and special attacks plus more.

This also applies to the enemies in the game as well as the music sounds and stages, where you can change a multitude of things to suit your needs once you are happy with your creation you can save the game to your memory card and then play your game.

Your own imagination

Reviews for 3D Shooting Tsukuru are hard next to impossible to find due to the game only releasing in Japan the only kind of rating, I have been able to find is the user reviews for GameFAQs, eight users have given the game an average rating of 3.69/5 with two users giving the game a 5/5, with most uses scoring the game 3.5 or higher.

This is the part of 0 to Z where is visit five online retailers and see what the availability of the title is, and what price you would be looking at if you wanted to pick this title up, the sites that I will be using for this are Amazon.com,  eStarland.com, retrogames.co.uk and Gamedude.com I know the last one is very location specific but from a podcast I listen to and  I have heard they have a huge stock of older games, I will also be including Ebay.com as well

So lets get down to business. with Gamedude sadly they do not stock the title which is not a surprise, likewise Retrogames.co.uk and eStarland.com don’t stock the game either, So if you are wanting a copy of this game then the biggest sites are your best bet.

On to Amazon.com who do have plenty of copies of the game on sale for a used copy the minimum you are looking at Is $10.10 this is for good quality copy of the game that ships direct from Japan, a used copies price goes up to a height of $17.48, which is £13.43 in the UK and €14.83 in the EU region.

As hard as it is to believe this 21 year old game has more new copies available on Amazon than used copies, with most being available with free shipping which is always a plus the minimum you will be looking at for a brand new copy is $26.33 with prices going as high as $39.

Ebay on the other hand is very light on copies of the game with three of the four copies on sale priced between $8.00 and $13.00 adding in the shipping fees however mean these prices go up to $14 and $26, the fourth copy on sale is shipped out of the UK and has free shipping that copy will set you back $23.27.
