Notes: Typical baseball game with notoriously terrible fielding and a nearly godlike computer to play against. Includes some interesting screens when different actions occur like stealing a base, but this does not make up for the gameplay.
Notes: Action game created for use specifically with the Power Glove, but this is not required. A nice attempt, but very poorly done, displaying yet again why this accessory was useless.
Notes: Action game where you pop the balloons of your enemies. Two-player game is simultaneous, and lots of fun. You have to take out all of the enemies and then go on and on and on.
Notes: An interesting game that saw limited release in Europe. Plays similar to a mix between “Kid Niki Radical Ninja” and the Adventure Island games. Lots of interesting secrets, items, and surprises. A great game if you can locate it.
Notes: One of several strategy games by this company. Gameplay revolves around feudal warfare in China. As with most of their releases, it takes a lot of patience, and is something that normally only war gamers will enjoy. Graphics are decent, but everything centers mostly on the structure of the game.
Notes: It’s very difficult to have the mind to withstand any golfing title for any system, even if you’re a golfer. For the NES really only one game stands out, and it’s definitely not this one. Very poor graphics completely mar this title. Don’t even bother unless someone gives it to you for free.

Notes: Action game intended for young girls, but quite strange. Gameplay involves entering Barbie’s dreams to overcome various obstacles. Something about this title makes you feel violated after you play it, regardless if you make it anywhere or not.
Notes: Role-playing game quite similar to “Advanced Dungeons and Dragons: Pool of Radiance.” Fairly basic, nothing extraordinary. I played it for two minutes, died, threw it across the room, and have yet to make any attempt at it again.
