Virtual Bart, is a collection of several differently themed arcade minigames that depict the daydream fantasies of Bart Simpson - riding a motorcycle, throwing tomatoes at his classmates, living as a dinosaur, seeking ancient treasure, etc. Definitely one of the better games based on the Simpsons, some of the games are actually quite good.

Notable for its inclusion of a storybook-style, 80-page instruction manual that provides clues about secrets and hidden areas in the game, Skuljagger is a quirky platformer that has your character, who runs quickly and can jump far, wielding a sword against a slew of pirates and other enemies (including rats and flying ants). There are gems to collect for protection (otherwise it's a one-hit death game), and, curiously enough, there are chewable bubblegum power-ups that provide bombs, flotation, and other items and abilities. The sword fights are fairly enjoyable, the game moves at a nice, breezy pace, the password feature is convenient, and the swashbuckling atmosphere of the game is enhanced by a terrific musical score and fun-to-read text. On the negative side, there are blind jumps into bottomless pits, repetitious enemies and gameplay, and the graphics are merely adequate. Overall, this is an enjoyable, if somewhat flawed, action game.

Skull & Crossbones is a swashbuckling adventure in which players portray two pirates competing for food, drink, booty, and revenge. Players use a joystick and button to control the unique sword-fighting action.

The game begins with an encounter with the evil Wizard, who robs our heroes of all of their booty. The pirates swear revenge and set off on a quest to destroy the Wizard and recover their treasure.

The adventure takes them around the world. The pirates battle the fierce captains and crews of opponent ships. They encounter the soldier guards and the merciless Executioner in the Spanish castle. In the ninja camp they fight the Ninja Master and his followers. On the beach the heroes encounter the dreaded Medusa and a horde of wicked skeletons that rise from the dead.

Finally, the pirates reach the Wizard's Island, where they must again do battle against the shadow figures of the Executioner, the Ninja Master, and the Medusa before they can fight face-to-face with the evil Wizard. If they make it to the throne room and overcome the Wizard, players are rewarded with a room full of treasure.

Players use a joystick and sword button in a combination of defensive and offensive maneuvers to battle the various enemies. Players can learn the lunge and back-slash, two. skilled sword-fighting moves that are the most effective.

In order to increase the long-term appeal of the game, players can select various difficulty levels of easy, medium, and hard to vary their paths through the game. By selecting the longer hard path, players are rewarded with more food, drink, and booty along the way.

The player will fight as either Red Beard or One Eye through various pirate themed levels, like ships and forts, and even some non-pirate themed levels, battling ninjas, skeletons, and others in a quest to save a princess from an evil wizard. There's also a split screen mode for two players.

The pirates will use several weapons to fight, such as pistols, swords, knifes and their bare fists. At each level, players will have to kill at least 15 enemies to move on and fight the level's boss. Each one of the six levels can be selected freely right from the start, differing only in difficulty (time limit to beat).

Several skull & crossbones flags are distributed through the levels, hiding booty, new weapons and traps (a skull symbol). There are some hidden flags which will appear as the pirate passes by them. At the end of each level, the players can trade their booty for new weapons, each one at different prices (the stronger costing more).

An overlooked gem of a game, Skyblazer borrows elements of play from such high quality series as Super Mario Bros., Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden and Shinobi. Yes, the action is derivative in many respects, but mimicking some of the best games ever produced is not necessarily such a bad thing. Players control Sky, who must run, jump, punch, kick, swim, fly (on a glider), and climb his way through 18 stages packed with a diverse assortment of enemies and obstacles, including samurais, lava monsters, spikes and magicians. Each time players defeat one of 10 different bosses, they will acquire Lightning Strike, Dragon Slash, Comet Flash or another highly impressive special power. In addition to solid (if sometimes overly familiar) gameplay, Skyblazer has very nice graphics and an elaborate musical score. Regrettably, it does suffer from one overriding flaw: It's too easy for most seasoned gamers.

An early beat 'em up in which you train to become part of the stable of combatants at Mondu the Fatman's Fight Palaces.

If you've ever wonder just how bad a Street Fighter 2 clone can get, then you've come to the right place. All this needs is cheesy 8-bit graphics, although the ones provided aren't that far removed. Looks bad, sounds awful, plays worse - in fact, the only Genesis beat 'em up worse than this is Street Smart. Although some people do say this is one of the classics of the fighter genre.

Originally designed for the roller controller, Slither pits you in the desert against a massive army of snakes bent on your destruction.

Secret Agent is a side-scrolling platform shoot-em-up which the player takes on the role of a James Bond-esque secret agent who must fight his way through a terrorist group called 'CWD' to reach the final Boss confrontation and prevent a stolen nuclear missile being launched.

The player starts the game armed only with a pistol, and this has a limited amount of ammunition. Once the ammo has run out, players can only kick their enemies. Machine guns are occasionally dropped by defeated enemies and can be picked up and used. Also, Golden Gun components are sometimes dropped; there are six of these in total and once all have been collected, the player is rewarded with a very powerful golden rifle. This weapon kills all enemies instantly but will only last for twenty-five seconds, indicated by a meter at the top-right of the screen.

Most of the game's eight stages are platform-based, but there are also two underwater scuba levels and a motorbike chase. All of the game's end-of-level bosses reappear on the final 'underground lair' level.

While not officially licensed as a James Bond game, Secret Agent is unmistakably meant to represent both the Bond character and movie series. The Bond villain Jaws shows up at the end of stage two and another famous Bond villain, Odd Job also appears. Another memorable Bond reference is the use of a Shaun Connery impersonator who tells players that they have done a Great job upon completion of a level.

SmartBall is an unusual platform game starring an amorphous blue blob named Jerry. Jerry's curious condition is the result of an evil wizard's plot to kidnap the kingdom's princess. To save his beloved, Jerry can stretch his shape to latch onto ceilings, stick to walls, squeeze through pipes, and collapse into a pancake. He can also propel his body to leap over gaps, or consume red and iron balls to shoot at enemies. The goal is to safely make it through eight side-scrolling levels, each divided into two distinct stages. Scattered throughout are letters that spell "Jerry" and purple flowers that sprout such helpful items as extra lives, balls, hearts, and seeds. The seeds will generate beanstalks that Jerry can climb to reach higher areas. SmartBall was released as Jerry Boy in Japan.

The game is essentially a clone of Don't Pull by Capcom. In the game, the player must defeat all the enemies in a single-screen level by pushing blocks to squash them.

There are three bonus levels: "The Dam", "The Mushrooms" and "The Butterflies".

Gargamel has already captured three Smurfs. Smurf to their rescue! Smurf down the mountains riding on a sledge, explore the labyrinths of the mine, travel on the back of a stork... but beware of nasty enemies such as the Buzz flies, the Angry Smurfs, the Howlibird, Azrael and... Gargamel!

The squeaky-voiced blue folks leap into platform action. Despite boasting some varied sections, the main level designs are way too predictable to offer much long-term interest.
