Actraiser
Title Screen
Enix 1991
Genre: Action
Rating: 5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
Story: You are the supreme god of the universe. Normally, that's rather a good position to be in, but now the demon Tanzra has stolen your powers and infested the whole world with monsters. One last angel is all you have left...

Batman Returns
Title Screen
Konami 1993
Genre: Action
Rating: 2/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
A common day in Gotham City: Batman puts on his chicle coat, and with his Batmobile he drives to the place of action. Through the slits of his ridiculous mask, he sees the unjustness. Good citizens are being hindered to do their Christmas shopping. A gang of clowns prevents a fluent and free enterprise and causes a setting that reminds of an oriental bazaar.

Biker Mice From Mars
Title Screen
Konami 1994
Genre: Action
Rating: 4/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
Concerning its concept, "Biker Mice From Mars" straightfowardly had the successful classic "Rock'n'Roll Racing" in mind. Unlike the original, you drive motor cycles and other unorthodox vehicles around more or less well-built tracks here. Although the game produced by Konami labels itself as being "powered by Snickers", you permanently suppose that the programmers wanted to make fun of this ridiculous piece of chocolate-peanut-mush.

Clock Tower
Title Screen
Human Entertainment / ASCII 1995
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 5/6
Language: Japanese, English (Unofficial)
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
The Barrows family took to their mansion lost in the forest four young girls as adopted daughters. But quickly it is shown that something is not right, and one of them, Jeniffer, will have to find a way to somehow escape alive.

EVO - The search for Eden
Title Screen
Enix 1993
Genre: Action
Rating: 5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
ENIX-Always a company that was willing to make games that were...well, non-standard. Not that that's a bad thing. Certainly not in this case. EVO is one of those one-of-a-kind games that are fun to play, hard to categorize. And yes, I may be biased because biologists generally like tinkering with animals :)

Goof Troop
Title Screen
Capcom 1993
Genre: Puzzle
Rating: 4/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
It's about time to offer our younger visitors something with educational value. I'll do it with 'Goof Troop' and I also admit that I played it although I?m not 8 any more (didn't you guess that?). How embarassing, but I'll try hard to justify it with this test.

NBA Jam
Title Screen
Acclaim 1993
Genre: Sport, Action
Rating: 4/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
Many sports games are usually followed by at least yearly but unimproved sequels (like FIFA or NHL). NBA Jam is the first part of such a series, so I chose this one for the sake of originality.
NBA Jam simulates (you guessed it, did you?) ghetto sport #1: basketball. To make things clearer the teams are reduced to 2 players, so it's more like streetball than basketball. You can choose from the original NBA-teams, represented by their best (= best known) 2 men. Up to 4 human players can compete simultaneously. In solo games the computer takes control of your partner, but you can still request him passing or throwing. You can also select to always control the player who has the ball or to team up with a friend. Difficulty level and length of a game can be set as well.

Plok!
Title Screen
Tradewest Inc. 1993
Genre: Action, Puzzle
Rating: 4/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
Meet Plok, a rather strange fellow. He has a flag fetish, hates fleas, can shoot off his arms and legs and absolutely hates fleas. Did I mention that he hates fleas? If not, then... well, you get the idea. Plok wakes up one sunny morning to find that his most prized possession, a big square flag, has been stolen. Our brave red-and-yellow hero decides to go flag hunting, and sees his flag hanging on an island just off the coast. When, after much adventure (a level or eight) he has finally recovered his flag, he returns to his island, only to find that it has been overrun with big, ugly fleas! Of course, our intrepid protagonist immediately vows to rid the island of fleas once and for all...

Return of Double Dragon
Title Screen
Technos 1992
Genre: Action
Rating: 3/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
That's a game which doesn't require much talking about. The programmers intentionally left out an intro or a story as the subtitle says it all: 'The Sleeping Dragon has awoke.' Ah yes. In other words: 'The 1st part was quite successful so let's make more money.'

Rock 'n' Roll Racing
Title Screen
Interplay 1993
Genre: Action
Rating: 4/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
I just want to mention this: This game has absolutely nothing to do with Rock 'n' Roll. Why the game is called this way I don't know - it can't be alone due to the fact that 'Born to be wild' is constantly coming out of the boxes.
