Clu-Clu Land is one of the strangest early NES game. It is among the primitive 1985 Nintendo releases, featuring 2-player simultaneous play. The game is much more fun with 2 players, but it may be difficult finding someone else who wants to play it. This is too bad, because it can be very fun once you ...

8 Eyes is mostly a Castlevania clone. It was of course released later, but features comparatively awkward gameplay and much worse music. The best feature of this game is Cutrus, the falcon, who is fun to use. The game also ends when you die once. As the manual says, "This is reality!" This game is worth ...

3-D Worldrunner is a rather obvious Space Harrier clone. It features some innovative graphics for its time, and is a forward-scrolling obstacle course with a boss fight after every 4 levels. The main problem is that it really not necessarily fun. You cannot always see how wide a pit is before you try ...

Mach Rider is an early NES game and not one of Nintendo's better releases. It's no Rad Racer, and it's no Pole Position either. It does feature a forward shooter, but the ammo is limited. The racetrack features obstructions such as barrels and other vehicles, as well as some water slicks that can cause ...

I have been playing this game on my GameBoy since as long as I can remember. I got it for a present from my Dad when I was younger. I love how there are three different pinball lands, each with three different levels to play. I could literally play this for hours, even if I could or could not beat it. ...

Released nearly a year after the Playstation's debut in the US, Project Overkill looks to be one of the earliest titles developed for the system. (Note the low SLUS #). It's a gore filled isometric shooting spree with a robotron X control scheme similar to Apocalypse. Sadly the game predates the Dual ...

One of the first Mystery Dungeon games to come outside Japan, I picked this one up because I like the Dragaon Quest series but I didnt expect this kind of game. The game itself its similar to hack and slash rpgs but in a turned based fashion, you go into randomly generated dungeons to defeat them and ...

Jumping Jack was one of the first games on the ZX Spectrum - and perhaps the very first computer game I ever played. That I still enjoy it today says much about the game, (and perhaps even more about the player). The game itself is quite simple: guide the main character (Jack) up a series of levels ...

Super C! A bad ass romp through hoards and hoards of killing maniacs and machines that are built for nothing more than to kill you. the action is intense, and hand cramps are inevitable. This is the sequel to Contra, and is bigger, badder, and more explosive than ever! my personal favorite in the whole ...

You have no direct control over him but can speed up his progress or scare him away by dropping blocks next to ...

Race around a course, and make it to check points before the timer runs out. If a player hits a road sign or tree at any speed the car crashes. Hitting another car severely slows the car down, but does not cause a crash. Crashes take time and make it more difficult for the player to reach the check ...

Based off the Nes version, only Crappier. If you want to see what the blasphemous NES Metal Gear that was against Hideo Kojima's intention would be like on a 1980's computer, check this one out.

Great follow up to the Alien Breed classic. One of my favourite Amiga games. Fast paced action and strategy. Depth through weapons choices and interfacing the onboard computer consoles of the doomed spacecrafts for upgrades. Not an easy game but rewarding gameplay. That spacecraft countdown to destruction ...
