Notes: I always enjoyed this game when I was younger. It’s very different than anything else you’ll ever play for the NES. Basically, you have to collect money to save an orphanage. You do so by completing different tasks such as an oyster eating contest and a pie fight. Certain tasks generate more money and are easier than others, so if you want to get the best ending possible it’s a little weighed in one direction, but it’s still a lot of fun. Everything is based on the short films they created.
Notes: This has to be the greatest version of Super Breakout ever. Way better than “Arkanoid,” but not as well known unfortunately. You control a Chinese looking character that holds the bar you’re familiar with, bouncing balls to destroy different blocks above. Tons of interesting enemies and features, as well as special powers. It’s really a game that deserves more attention. Check it out. The music is particularly awesome.
Notes: This television show used to frighten me when I was younger. Anyone who’s seen those travel commercials with the annoying puppets can get an idea of what it looked like if you’ve never seen it. Simply scary puppets flying space ships. This game basically takes the show and makes a shooter out of it. It’s not that bad really, just reminds me of my frightening youth.
Notes: Okay guys, you’re really stretching here with the nearly stolen “Mega Man” shtick. A little too close to being a pirate in some respects.
Notes: This game could have been much better. Now, I know it was released fairly early, but still, one “Ikari Warriors” game is enough unless you do something a bit different with the concept that really catches someone’s eye.
Notes: Ah, the memories I have of this terrible game. My brother and I received this and “Mega Man” for Easter one year. Needless to say, this wasn’t played as much. It’s a basic helicopter shooter, nothing at all. There’s some fun present, but not much.
