Notes: Adventure title that mixes elements of “The Legend of Zelda” with role-playing games. Interesting plot and lots to explore, though it’s straightforward linear. The game came originally packaged with the instructions plus a special piece of paper that reacted to water so you could read a secret message later in the game.
Notes: I would have to say that this game comes in right behind “Top Gun.” It’s yet another flight simulation game, but it’s well done. You play as a new pilot attempting to gain esteem by taking on the world’s enemies. Somewhat different than “Top Gun,” but not as good. There is really only so much you can do with this type of game while doing something different, and this title does a decent job of it.
Notes: A really interesting shooter that is the sequel to the Famicom game Twin Bee. The graphics are very colorful and remind me of a cartoon, complete with large, weird bosses like a giant faucet of death. Various power-ups for you to collect that you receive by shooting at bells to make them change color. Keep them in the air longer, and you get better weapons.
Notes: Here’s an odd game. This is definitely my favorite game for the Power Pad, mainly because it’s simply so different. It’s not very easy to get used to, but it’s fun, much different than anything else that uses the accessory. Really tests your abilities. Each level has different tasks for you to complete.
Notes: Basic action game that plays similar to anything like “Vice: Project Doom.” There is nothing really spectacular to discover, but it’s fun now and then. For the sake of setting you straight before you misinform yourself, this game does not contain any fighting elements and is nothing like the arcade Street Fighter games.
