Caravan Shooting Collection is a compilation of the three first
games played during Hudson Soft's national Caravan tournaments held in
Japan from 1985 to 1997 (see Super Star Soldier's review for the PC Engine system for more
information about those contests). This game cartridge contains the
8-bit Famicom versions of Star Force, Star Soldier and Hector'87,
games respectively featured at the contests in 1985, 1986 and 1987. This compilation was released
in 1995, ten years after the first tournament, and Hudson Soft most certainly released
this collection for the tournament's 10th anniversary. It is interesting to notice that those same tournaments
were held in Japan until 1997 so they were still going on when this collection was released.

Here are, for your only pleasure, all three original Famicom games reunited.
What a nice family picture this is.

Caravan Shooting Collection is certainly a nice piece of Hudson Soft's history.
Those versions are perfect Famicom ports and it is somehow a shame. It would have been
nice if they had been upgraded for the Super Famicom, with better graphics and
musics. Only the selection menu offers
graphics which use higher resolution and color palettes. Nevertheless, I personnally
love those games, especially Hector and its
interesting mix of vertical and horizontal stages. But do not
expect anything amazing here. I you already own the Famicom versions of those titles,
this collection doesn't really bring anything new. Except maybe if you want to experience
them with the Super Famicom system and its game paddle.
