Notes: Exactly the same game as the NTSC release “River City Ransom.” I’m not sure why they decided to change the title for PAL audiences, perhaps because they found “ransom” as offensive as “ninja.” Basically the same game except for the title.
Notes: It’s great to see that there is at least one title, though it isn’t very good, other than “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters” that attempts to present a true fighting game format. Looks similar to many hacks found on numerous Famicom pirates like Mortal Kombat IV or Street Fighter 12 Peoples.

Notes: Classic action title that received a lot of attention when it was released. Somewhat similar to the Ninja Gaiden games, but with less detail and larger characters.
Notes: This game had a lot of potential, but when I finally got a hold of it I was pretty disappointed. Plays similar to “Excitebike,” but with a difficulty level that is too over the top to want to even consider the skill it takes to beat. The graphics are excellent, as one should expect from this company, but it’s just too hard.
Notes: This is exactly the same game as “Menace Beach,” except that it’s been altered to present a Christian message and plot. Also includes a Christian song and another game called Fish Fall that was intended as another release by Color Dreams, only it too has been altered for Christian audiences.
Notes: Exactly the same game as “Quattro Adventure.” Though it doesn’t really matter in this instance, I’m not sure why the title was altered.
