Notes: Simply the only soccer game you really need to own for the NES. This game was put together perfectly. Everyone’s favorite “super deformed” characters are back. Controls are easy to learn and very fluid. Every team has its own super move to use that is almost impossible for a goalie to block.
Notes: An excellent game that really should have seen release for NTSC audiences. You control Noah and must complete several different levels. The stages move constantly, so you have to pay attention. Basically plays like an action game. You have different powers and there are bosses at the end of each round.
Notes: Some consider this to be this company’s best release. Takes place in feudal Japan, where you need to gain control of territories and wage war. As this is another strategy title, if you aren’t used to war games, you may not enjoy it, but give it a chance.
Notes: Sequel to “Nobunaga’s Ambition.” Basically plays similar to the original, but with some different features. Graphics are a bit better, but it seems that the difficulty is a little easier this time around. This makes it more of a good opener for gamers not used to strategy titles, but may be less than what it expected for more experienced players.

Notes: Another strategy game (sort-of), but this time one that attempts to recreate the struggle of the American Civil War. It does not do a very good job, mixing bland action with a computer that is sometimes too accurate. The United States seems amorphous in shape. Overall it’s somewhat playable, but not worth the time or the money. This game gets more attention than it should.
Notes: This is an odd one. It seems to have very little to do with actual feats of mental skill, in fact I can’t really see anything anywhere that even vaguely suggests this. There are a few different levels to complete, some of which are actually kind of interesting, but for the most part it is incredibly lame.
