Notes: Children’s educational game where you help Big Bird complete various tasks including spelling and locating various characters. And yes, Big Bird does talk. I only wish there was some way to exploit the programming to make this game a part of a foreplay session.
Notes: Yet another educational game based on the television show. In this one you control the Count and run around located the numbers you are asked to find. Out of all of them, I like this one the best. It can actually be somewhat fun to run through now and then.
Notes: Another game that tries to take on the classic concept behind “Ninja Gaiden.” Doesn’t really do a bad job either. Seems a bit harder in some respects, but good.
Notes: Exactly the same game as the NTSC release “Ninja Gaiden,” but with alterations for PAL audiences. What’s this whole ninja problem over there? I’m getting sick of it. It even has “ninja” on the box and label, so why not simply go with the original title?

Notes: Sequel to “Shadow Warriors,” and, as you probably already have assumed, it is nearly the same game as the NTSC release “Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos.” Again, the word “ninja” is clearly present. What the hell? No more ninja comments to be made right now, maybe later.
Notes: Probably the most well known of the “point and click” games for the NES. This one really received some publicity when it came out. Basically you move through areas in a castle and collect items to solve various puzzles. Not really much fun to play again unless you forget everything.
