Notes: I remember trading my Iron Maiden album to a friend for this game. I still seek his blood. Very, very terribly done, this has to be one of the worst video games ever. You can select your favorite mutant, none of which seem to actually use their powers. Wolverine, for example, kicks. You can play with the computer, but they just fire or kick like mad at anything that comes along. For an added bonus, there is actually a stage select code printed on the cartridge label.
|
Notes: A little different than most of their historical strategy games. You play a Portuguese noble in this one, and have to restore glory to your empire by trading, taking out rival navies, pirates, and so forth. There’s a good deal of depth here, so again, if you don’t have any patience, it may not sit well with you. Neither will the graphics most of the time.

Notes: The third point and click type adventure from this company. If you enjoyed “Déjà vu” and “Shadowgate,” I suggest looking for this, it’s my favorite of the three. Your quest is to find your sister in this old cult mansion. More horror elements here than in the other two games. Basically plays and looks the same though.
|
Notes: Action game based off of the movie, which was based off of famous figures from the history of American gangland in the 30s. Not too bad, but pretty poorly done and difficult at some points. Most of the game is set-up like “The Punisher,” and involves you shooting at enemies on the screen, completing various tasks like taking out so many in so much time and so forth. This version features the characters from the movie.

Notes: Exactly the same as the other version, except this one features three shadowy, trench coat figures in the dark holding Tommy guns. Both games carry the same rating, though this one is somewhat more difficult to locate.
|
Notes: A very simple game, almost an ancestor to the modern fighting genre, but not really. You and your opponent (computer or a friend) fight bare-knuckle on the street. You simply punch the hell out of each other and if you get your opponent to fall back three screens into a sewer, you win, and then it just keeps on going and going and going.
