Notes: Adventure game, almost identical in structure to “The Goonies II.” You must find your uncle, Dr. Chaos, who accidentally opened another dimension filled with monsters.
Notes: An interesting attempt at a unique concept, but very poorly done. It has probably the worst controls of any NES game ever made.
Notes: Puzzle game similar to “Tetris,” and one of the most popular. You eliminate germs by creating lines of colors using pills. Great two player feature.
Notes: Action game similar to any game like “Castlevania.” Lots of interesting levels and great graphics, including the ability to turn into different dragons to complete your quest.
Notes: Action/adventure game, a very early release and poorly done. Released in Japan and Europe as “Dragonball,” but due to the fact the cartoon was not yet present in America, the game was altered. The translations are sometimes so bad it’s hilarious.
Notes: Platform shooter similar to any game like “Gradius.” You control a dragon that can be upgraded using various power-ups. Overall a great shooter with a nice twist on the concept.
Notes: First large scale role-playing game for the NES. Definitely not as good as the sequels, but a groundbreaker. Took what the Ultima series started and created something better.
Notes: Second game of the epic series. Much better than the second, including more characters and a more expansive world to explore.
