    NBA All-Star Challenge

    Like supporting all of your bodyweight with one finger, enjoying NBA All Star Challenge is an impossible feat.

    Sports games have come a long way, nowadays the graphics capture likenesses of the players all the way down to the nearest sweat bead and nearly anything that can be done in the real sport can be done in the game. Back i... Read Full Review

    Zoop

    Zoop has solid and unique puzzle gameplay, but it suffers from a lack of modes to keep the game fresh.

    Puzzle games that try to be different are worth checking out. There are so many puzzle games that have the same sort of vertical window where you try to match up balls or blocks of the same colors. If only because Zoop i... Read Full Review

    Tiger-Heli doesn't even attempt anything that would make it stand out from any of the other shooters on the NES.

    Games need to do more than have passable gameplay to be worth your or my time. They need to have some other aspect that compels you to play them as opposed to the countless other similar games out there. An engaging stor... Read Full Review

    The Super Shinobi

    The Revenge of Shinobi puts lots of emphasis on being awesome, but not quite enough emphasis on being fun.

    In many ways, In The Revenge of Shinobi was ahead of its time for 1988. Today, all games work hard to try and make each character and move in the game seem stylish and cool and to really make the player feel that they ar... Read Full Review

    Mortal Kombat Trilogy is filled to the brim with technical problems, but it is still a very fun and robust 2-D fighter.

    In so many ways Mortal Kombat Trilogy for the N64 is a complete failure. Ultimate Mortal Komat 3 became available for the SNES in 1996 (the same year this game was released) and the Super Nintendo game has none of the ... Read Full Review

    Last Action Hero is a complete failure in every way you could imagine.

    Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow is an excellent addition to any SNES collection.

    Maui Mallard was released very late in the SNES's life, so it is not surprising that the game is not particularly well known. However, it is a lot of fun and is well worth finding and buying if you are looking for a game... Read Full Review

    Though the Battleship board game can provide some entertainment, the video game can not.
