Notes: The first skiing game released for the NES. For it’s time it was an excellent game, and it even stills holds strong. In fact, it is definitely the best game of this type for the system.
Notes: Action game based on the arcade version. You or another player control characters that run through the set of a violent game show. You really get swamped most of the time, as this game has the most enemies ever. You can actually play using two controllers. One for movement and the other for fire. Lots of fun.

Notes: Action game based on the cartoon. The graphics are very well done and overall it plays great, but it gets very hard by the third level. Takes a lot of skill to get through everything.
Notes: One of the most innovative games for the NES. You control a snake and go through 3D levels eating small balls to make yourself larger and heavier so you can exit each stage. The layout is excellent but due to the fact that the game is not completely 3D, controls can sometimes be awkward because you can’t exactly judge where you’re landing. Other than this minor detail, and a boss that takes a few hours to beat, it’s one every collector should own.
Notes: Everyone thinks this is the sequel to “Metal Gear,” but it’s actually the third game in the series. Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake was released for the little known system MSX, and plays like the original, only better. This game plays like them, but contains more action than search and destroy type stuff. It’s really a shame that we got this instead of the real deal, but it’s not that bad.
Notes: Interesting sports game where you compete in odd events around the world including a sack race and a boot toss. Some of the events are a little too short, but it’s pretty fun overall. You control the famous comic strip character.
