Notes: Though it could have had a lot more challenge, this is one of the more interesting racing games for the NES. It’s designed fairly well with excellent controls. The computer is a bit too easy, but it’s fun with a friend.
Notes: An excellent game, obviously the sequel to “Spy Hunter.” The graphics have been updated, but the gameplay remains the same usually. There’s a lot more going on in this one. I would suggest picking it up.
Notes: An interesting release to be used only with the Power Pad. More fun to play with friends than alone. You compete in some odd competitions like the three-legged race and another race where you’re in a bubble.
Notes: Action game similar to “Contra” in many ways. However, it’s not very easy. I find myself constantly getting slaughtered in this game. Perhaps I haven’t given it enough time to sink in, or it’s just too hard. Your power-ups never really seem to fend off the swarms you face, and you always seem to die a little too quickly.
Notes: This game could have been good had the programmers taken the time to make the structure better. The graphics aren’t bad, but aren’t very good, but it’s the controls that really turn this game into a horror. They’re simply terrible. Your punches never seem to connect correctly and most of your super powers are pointless.
Notes: Unlike most pirates, this comes from a company that actually gave itself a name and packaged its products in some pretty nice boxes. All of the games, however, are stolen. It’s unusual to see a company present themselves as legit when they really aren’t. The content can vary, but normally you have at least 52 games to choose from using a menu like “Action 52.” Keep in mind that Supervision made numerous games. Usually there is a sticker on the back of the cartridge listing what you’ll find. However, you can definitely expect plenty of games not released outside of Japan including The Goonies (not “The Goonies II,” but the game that came before it), Circus Charlie, and Pooyan. This company really made some nice pirates that every collector should try to get at least one of. They have yet to generate interest like “Bubble Bath Babes” and the like, but are a hell of a lot more fun and interesting. Good luck getting your hands on one.
