Snow Bros |  |
|||
| Snow Bros is a Bubble Bobble alike game which has you covering the enemies with snow and then rolling them down the levels, its a joy to play in multiplayer, but is now a bit expensive to buy unfortunately. | |||||

Darkwing Duck |  |
|||
| Another great Capcom game from a Disney license, this time similar to their Mega Man series' but with game play entailing more climbing and hanging. As usual Capcom's talent for game play design shines through and creates yet another platforming classic for them to boast about. | |||||

Super Dodge Ball |  |
|||
| An excellent sports game from the people that made River City Ransom and Nintendo World Cup (the latter of which unfortunately just missed the top 100). Technos' sports titles really should be commended for their uniqueness, they don't take themselves too seriously and all actually reward the player for acting as un-sportsman-like as possible, this really adds a level of chaotic fun to the proceedings. | |||||

SCAT |  |
|||
| Natsume's great shooter in the vein of Forgotten Worlds, which, in my opinion may actually be better than it's source material (at least where home console versions are concerned). The game play is a lot of fun, especially in 2-player co-op and the graphics are also well done. | |||||

Zombie Nation |  |
|||
| A strange and quirky shmup, that contains so much wanton destruction of buildings that it sort of feels like the old arcade game Rampage. The main point of the game is to pretty much survive (a given) whilst destroying as many buildings as possible and rescuing the falling Zombie hostages. | |||||

Puzznic |  |
|||
| Taito's tile matching puzzle game is both clever and addictive and really shows the fact that as a company Taito could succeed at making great games in pretty much any genre they put their mind to. | |||||

Gremlins 2 |  |
|||
| Why Sunsoft are not held in as high regard as other classic 8-bit developers is beyond me, Gremlins 2, like all their other NES games is a really great and unique game. Its a fantastic top down shooter which also contains many platforming and adventuring elements, and has some excellent music and presentation (even with Ninja Gaiden-esque cut scenes between levels). It only loses some places as I feel the difficulty level may be a little high for those not experienced with the genre. | |||||

Snake Rattle N' Roll |  |
|||
| A unique Isometric platformer from Rareware. Game play consists of eating the creatures you find until reaching a set tail length then getting to the end of the stage. though it takes a little time to get used to its more fun than it sounds and has a very good 2-player mode too. | |||||

Ghosts N' Goblins |  |
|||
| One of the all-time arcade platforming classics, from a time when developers thought the more difficult the game play was the better the game. Its certainly fun but the graphics are a big step down from the arcade original, and the whole thing can be very unforgiving and frustrating. Sadly these days most people probably wouldn't have the required patience to enjoy it. | |||||

Legacy of the Wizard |  |
|||
| Legacy of the Wizard is an absolutely massive sprawling platform adventure game, I'd liken it to the original Legend of Zelda but with a side view perspective. Its actually a member of the Dragon Slayer series (along with Faxanadu) a series which contained many games and whilst never achieving notable popularity in the west gained good success in Japan. | |||||
