Killer Instinct

Type : Fighting

+ : Great graphics (3D Rendered Graphics Seen In DKC), music sounds great, Cool endings. Fun on two player mode.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

Type : Fighting

+

: VERY Good graphics. Great play control. Many characters. Classic Sub Zero, Ermac, Rain, and Noob Saibot (The Arcade Hidden Characters), are automatically in here to play as, no codes needed for them, cool new fatalities like the brutalities (Kind of like the Ultra Hit combos in KI ).
- : If you have goten bored of the original MK3, you're not going to have much fun with this one either. BORING ! ! ! ! !

RATING :

Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts

Darius Twin (C) 1991

Type : Shooter

+ : Graphics are pretty good, many diferent weapons, that's about it.

RATING : [IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE]

Sim City © 1991 :

Type : Simulation/Strategy ? ? ?

+ : This is an excellent conversion of the PC original, and better, too. The graphics are better, the music is much better, the disasters are better (King Koopa smashes the city instead of a dinosaur!), and there is and easy million dollar code (You can do it without fearing that a major earthquake will destroy your city). Very good.
- : What's the point of this game? Do you ever finish it? It's like it go's on forever. Graphics could be better.

Super Castlevania 4 © 1991 :

Type : Side Scroller

+ : The graphics are incredible, when you think it was one of the 1st games released for this system. The music is also really good. The game play couldn't be any better. It's fun, and you can do many things with your wip, more than just shoot it out strait.
- : It would be nice if you could throw your weapons up an down too.

Wanderers From The Y's © 1991 :

Type : Side Scroller Mixed With RPG elements . . .

+ : Good graphics and music. Challenging. Fun. Many different accesories and cool items to get. Big and challenging bosses.
- : Your character on the screen is too small, so is his sword.
RATING : [IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE]

Pilotwings © 1991 :

Type : Simulation/Action

+ : Great Graphics. Many different planes and other stuff. Fly the Biplane, Skydive off a helicopter, Man the control of a helicopter and blow little people into oblivion, glide with the hang glider, or fly around with the rocket belt. Fun.
- : The music really gets anoying. It sounds like people are yelling out BLAH! BLAH! Through the entire game.
RATING : [IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE]

Final Fantasy 2

Type : Role Playing

+ : This is an incredible game. I mean, compare it with Final Fantasy on the NES. The graphics are mush more improved, there are bigger enemies, better music, better spells, and just a better overall game. This one is worth getting. There's also about 12 hours of game play.
- : The graphics could still have been better.
RATING : [IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE]

Bio Metal

Type : Shooter

+ : Very good graphics, especially since it was made in '93. Well done music too. Not many weapons, but still, they can get really powerful. Challenging. Big Bosses.
- : The game gets kind of repetitive. The same enemies keep attacking you, no much variety. Not nearly as good as Super R-Type or Gradius 3.

Judge Dredd

Type : Side Scroller

+ : Great graphics. Good music. MANY different weapons. Very challenging. You get to ride on the air motorcycles!
- : A little too challenging. A lot of the weapons don't really do you any good.
RATING : [IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE]

Gunforce

Type : Side Scroller

+ : Okay graphics, for when it was made. A good amount of weapons. 2 players at the same time!
- : Too much slow motion. Only 5 levels. The weapons' firepower is way too small (They are really powerful though)
RATING : [IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE]

Super Mario World

Type : Side Scroller

+ : Fun. Music is okay, two players. A lot like Super Mario 3, except MANY more secrets.
- : Graphics are not really good when you compare it to other games that came out right when it did.
