|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Argos no Juujiken (Rygar) |
Platformer | Japan-only port of the arcade hit Rygar (which is quite different from the NES version). You attack foes with the yo-yo like Discarmor shield-on-a-chain, but you can defeat some enemies by jumping on them Mario-style. This is a lot more fun when you've obtained the power-ups to lengthen your chain and use an overhead arch-strike. One hit = death though, so without them, it's kind of cheaply difficult (thanks to tunnelers or that lizard foe-type that hits you with its stretchy dick (or so it looks)). Solid game (as long as you obtain power-ups). | Link |

| Galactic Protector | Defense | Opa Opa and his friend have to save the planet from being destroyed in this Japan-only oddity. This uses that crazy Paddle Controller, which is kinda hard to find. It also doesn't work on the standard Master System Control Pad. This also makes emulating the game tricky. The emulator MEKA uses a mouse-based emulation for the paddle, due to being an analog device, so that's about as close as you'll get. If you've played Pyoro R on WarioWare Twisted, this is a bit like that. |

| Hoshi wo Sagashite... (Searching the Stars) |
Point and Click Adventure | A.k.a. "The Story of Mio." An adventure game loosely based off the efforts of Macventure and ICOM games, even using a similar interface. You come into the possession of a rare space critter, Mio. Depending on your actions, you may get different endings, or even have poor Mio die on you. | Link |

| Jang Pung 3 | Fighting | A Neo-Nazi cult has created an evil lizard-cyborg to take over the world, and of course that means a fighting tournament to see who's gonna take on it. Disregard the nonsense plot and just look at it! A large roster, big sprites, detailed backgrounds - this unlicensed title by a tiny Korean team is a technical marvel. |

| Solomon's Key | Puzzle/Platformer | VERY HARD puzzle platformer with plenty of arcade qualities. Always cited for being extremely fun but brutally tough, especially if you manage to get past stage three. Most people can't. | Link |

| Sukeban Deka II (Delinquent Girl Detective II) |
Beat 'em up/Point-and-Click | Be a schoolgirl-turned-delinquent-turned-detective, beat up thugs and bosses. Based on the then hugely popular TV series Sukeban Deka. Like Spellcaster above, it mixes action scenes and adventure scenes, but brawling instead of platforming. Saki uses a yo-yo and jump kick. Sadly, nothing else, nor do her pals help. That said, the fighting is a bit challenging, requiring careful aim and evasion. It's a pretty nifty way to kill an afternoon, and better than the Famicom game based on the same series. Note: this game is not a sequel, the "II" refers to being based on the show's 2nd season. |
