Wheel of Fortune (USA)
Nintendo Entertainment System ROM
rbx4 says:
There are several Wheel of Fortune games available for the NES. This one does not seem to be the best. It lacks some of the fun that is present in the alternatives, but gameplay is very similar to them.
It follows the older rules of the game show (1980's rules), and has weaker graphics and sound than ...

Strider (USA, Europe)
Sega Genesis - Sega Megadrive ROM
RikohZX says:
Back in the day, when arcade-perfect ports were few and far between and disc-based consoles weren't exactly a thing yet, Strider for the Genesis may not of been absolutely accurate but it was a stand-out for bringing the experience into one's home. With tight platformer action, a high difficulty ceiling ...

Secret of Mana (Germany)
Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) ROM
CIVICMINDED says:
There was a time when SquareSoft could do no wrong, especially when it came to RFGs… the most obvious example being the Final Fantasy franchise.

Cool World (USA)
Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) ROM
luminaire1 says:
Before Orladno Jones told us to "Make 7 Up Yours", 7-Up had the Cool Spot. A red dot with sunglasses and limbs, there isn't much to the 7-Up mascot. This standard SNES platformer is solid enough, and should give a few hours of entertainment to anyone who tries it. But it's utterly forgettable.
