Command either an American or Russian nuclear attack submarine in various Cold War missions around the world.

A better-than-average submarine simulation that was much ballyhooed in its day, but shows its age now.

Sumo wrestling, like most sports, is an acquired taste. Western audiences for the most part fail to grasp the rich tradition behind this Japanese sport and instead focus on appearances - two really fat guys standing on a square wooden platform and trying like crazy to shove each other out of a ring inscribed within the edges of the platform. Once you understand sumo and its rituals, though, it can be just as entertaining as its American so-called "professional" counterpart.

Seems to be quite faithful to the sport except for some obvious Street Fighter 2 inspired touches. Great graphics, great sound, and good gameplay, makes a refreshing change from the usual beat 'em up.

Top down adventure game inspired by the popular live-action movies starring Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, and Cristopher Lloyd - derived from the long-running comic strip created by Charles Addams for the New Yorker magazine.

I'll keep it short and sweet - the bad movie got the good adventure game, Uncle Fester takes over the search for the missing baby Pubert, the newest member of the family.

Introducing our three chief protagonists: Aero the Acrobat, a daredevil bat who is the star of the circus; Edgar Ektor, clown prince and mean guy extraordinaire; and Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel, Ektor's chief henchman whose sense of duty and loyalty seem strangely misplaced.

Probably the most concerted effort by a software house in cloning the success of the Sonic series. Gets old fast, ridiculous in places, but you never lack for action. It sold by the bucketful when it was first released.

Aero the Acrobat has a really annoying circus music soundtrack & never quite lives up to it's promise as a Sonic beater.

Fly the U.S. Navy's top fighter, the F-14 Tomcat, in wave after wave of dangerous missions against all sorts of airborne foes. Ported from the hit arcade game.

Quite faithful - an almost perfect port, if it weren't for the choppy scaling. The game itself gets a little boring and repetitive after a while, but the action never slows down.

You have been selected to fly on a top-secret mission to attack the stronghold of a fanatical Mideast terrorist organization. They are well-armed and have the backing of several "unfriendly governments," so your only two advantages are the stealth fighter that you will fly and your own combat skills. Good luck, because you're gonna need it....

A dogfighting simulation that reminds one of the original Wing Commander. The cockpit takes up so much of the screen that you can't see whats going on! Boring and unimpressive.

Alex Kidd is the brother of King Igul, ruler of Planet Aries. Acting on a rumored sighting of their missing father, Alex travels to the planet Paperock to find him. Why the name? Because the child's sport of Paper-Rock-Scissors is a planet wide institution, and those who visit must display some talent in the game. The only MegaDrive entry in the long-running and popular series of arcade and console games by Sega.

Not very challenging, but not bad for a game made back in 1987.

It is the year 2015. A space faring terrorist group known as Scarlet has become strong enough to seal the space lanes around Earth. A sudden, desperate attack planned in secret wounds Scarlet's leader Epsilon, causing a power struggle among the terrorists and giving humanity time to regroup and fight back. Two old foes among the genetically-engineered terrorists now vie for control of the organization, the outcome of which could determine the fate of mankind.

From the makers of the legendary Gunstar Heroes, this platform shoot 'em up is reminiscent of Contra but with more options. Loud graphics and louder audio, looks cool and plays pretty decently.

A Fantasy-themed arcade game in which you play a beautiful babe who's quite proficient in the art of magic. Her job is to embark upon a quest to find a lost meteorite. News has it that the falling star is the source of the evil that is spawning all of the evil creatures that have begun to plague the lands. Only one person is strong enough to fight their evil spells and save the day. That person is you - Alisia Dragoon.

One of many excellent Japanese-produced action games. The ladies will like this one, since you play a heroine with a cute morphing animal sidekick.

That lovable loony trio of Wakko, Yakko, and Dot have decided to go into business for themselves. They plan on selling real Hollywood show props, but they don't have any inventory right now. Where do we get inventory? Why, the Warner Brothers back lot, of course! Platform style game based on Steven Spielberg's hit syndicated animated TV series.

A decidedly different animal from the over-the-top SNES game. Has a heavy puzzle-solving slant, but also has nice graphics and preserves the looniness of the series.

Yet another one of those Japanese games in which you choose a hero who will go on a quest to recover a fabled weapon and defeat the monstrous evil plaguing the land - in this case, a jilted sorceress.

A nicely done isometric game with plenty of action for all, and the obvious anime influence adds to the flavor. It's a welcome change for bleary-eyed RPGers and dungeon crawlers.

Perky-looking female fighter jock takes on the space aliens from hell all by her lonesome.

A pathetically bad space shoot 'em up. The only thing good about it is the 15-second cinema during the game demo. Smacks strongly of a Konami or Irem shooter, but not as fully developed.

During the Roman occupation of France, a lone Gaul warrior arose from among his fellows to do battle with his largely incompetent foes.  Meet Asterix, the undersized hero of the first French Resistance.  Based on the hit European comic series.

Excellent concept, excellent games.  I must admit to a certain bias, as I am a fan of the original comic, but even non-fans have found the games to be entertaining. Highly recommended.
