Notes: I really, really wish that Sunsoft completed their version of this game, because what you’ll find here is pretty damn bad. The graphics are large, blocky, and awkward. The controls don’t fair any better. It’s simply a very sad game. Gets pretty tough later on, I have yet to gain the patience to try to get through it. Follows the plot pretty well.
Notes: Sequel to “The Terminator.” Plays a lot better, but definitely a little too difficult. You start out punching and the enemies always seem to get in a few blows that eventually take you out. The designers should have adjusted this. You can get used to it, but it’s really annoying at first. Follows the plot nicely and has a good amount of variety.
Notes: A very basic space shooter. Too similar to games like “Star Force” and “Star Soldier” to notice anything.
Notes: Here it is, one of the most legendary games ever made. This has been duplicated, copied, and used in so many different ways that it isn’t even funny. Very basic and addicting. You control different falling shapes that you need to arrange to create lines. Gets very fast later on, I’ve only known one person that can make it past level twenty.

Notes: Here’s the game that led to one of the most important lawsuits in history. It’s unfortunate that not many people know about it. I suggest you read up on it. Anyway, this is the arcade version of the game for your NES. Has some features that the Nintendo version didn’t, but lacks some as well. I find it somewhat better than the other because you can play with a friend simultaneously, but it’s also a lot easier alone. For difficulty, go for the other one.
Notes: Sequel to the Nintendo version of “Tetris.” This one plays more like “Dr. Mario” and includes different pieces as well as a new feature. In this one, you have to match at least three colors vertically or horizontally to eliminate everything. There are also these blinking blocks that you can use to eliminate every block of a single color. It’s a lot easier than the first game.
