Notes: Another lame attempt at a basketball game for the NES. This one is more of a shoot-out competition than anything else, but why in the world would you want to play that if you’re not doing it outside?

Notes: Action game with a high level of difficulty that used to drive me nuts when I was younger. Once you get used to the enemy movements, it’s not that bad. Basically your normal take out the entire army and their secret weapon with a knife type game. You get occasional power-ups, but they don’t last very long. The title is intended to sound like what you’re thinking. Oh, how we miss the Cold War.
Notes: Action/adventure game based loosely on the arcade version. Actually, it’s way better than the real thing. Really advanced for its time. You go through a variety of different worlds to collect items to complete your quest to destroy Lygar in his castle in the sky. Gameplay is similar in a way to “The Goonies II.” I remember my mother reading the ending to me when I first beat this game. The memories.
