Notes: Platform space shooting/action game. You ride on a small hovercraft, enter enemy bases, and infiltrate them to find the core. Pretty basic and boring. You get into it at first and then fall asleep.
Notes: Based loosely on the television show. Very similar to “Top Gun,” but nothing extraordinary. Pretty bland, in fact, except for the musical score.
Notes: Basic racing game with several different features including time trials and the ability to race against drivers from the era, which doesn’t really seem to matter as the computer always appears to race the same. Decent overall but as far as racing games go it offers nothing spectacular.
Notes: Actually not a bad racing game at all with plenty of features that set it apart from other titles from the genre. Pretty slick gear shifting and opponent selection from a group of odd-looking drivers. Reminds me of “Eliminator Boat Duel.”
Notes: A very interesting action game that deserves way more attention than it gets. Very unique with tons of secrets, items, and tasks to complete. You control a chicken that pecks his enemies and flies all about using different skills.

Notes: Action game based on the movie. Follows the storyline fairly well. You rescue prisoners within the time limit using different items to avoid the aliens. The only real problem with it is that you basically need to memorize the stages to get through them without running out of time.
Notes: Action game based on the arcade version. Gameplay is much weaker than the Sega Master System release, though with much crisper graphics and sounds. Basic run-around and kill the aliens game, but with big, interesting bosses. By the end it’s near impossible because you move quite slow compared to the aliens.
