Actraiser
Title Screen
Enix 1991
Genre: Action
Rating: 5/6
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
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.

Return of Double Dragon
Title Screen
Technos 1992
Genre: Action
Rating: 3/6
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.'

Sunset Riders
Title Screen
Konami 1993
Genre: Action
Rating: 4/6
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
Yeehaw, cowboy!

You are one of four bounty hunters in the old Wild West, hoping to earn a decent living by shootin' some bad guys. Well, you're going to get your chance...

This game is a conversion from an old arcade game re-done for the SNES. That more or less says everything about the good and bad sides:

Super Metroid
Title Screen
Nintendo 1994
Genre: Action
Rating: 5/6
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
At first: this game is no remake of the NES classic "Metroid". It is true that it takes place at the same locations especially at the beginning, but it is several years later than part 1 and 2.

Super Street Fighter 2
Title Screen
Capcom 1994
Genre: Action
Rating: 4/6
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
Definitely a true classic - it's the one and only fighting game. I decided to review this part of the series because somehow it brought the 2D-fighting game to perfection. Some years after the quite amateurish slot-machine game 'Streetfighter' the second part appeared for every existing computer system, even for the then already aged C64. After a short time the 'Turbo'-version came out and also the 'SuperStreetfighter II'-version, which I?m going to review here.

WWF Raw
Title Screen
Ljn 1994
Genre: Action
Rating: 5/6
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
WWF RAW - the reference to digital showfights. The ridiculous wrestling-scene is presented absolutely serious. And that's good for all who are amused by clearly missing but apparently very painful hooks and for those who still can't understand why two wrestlers are trying to kill each other in the ring, but having a nice barbecue together after the fight (are there any?).

X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse
Title Screen
Capcom 1994
Genre: Action
Rating: 4/6
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
The X-Men are Marvel's most successful team of superheros. And that is actually surprising if you know a bit about the history of this series. It was started back in the mid-60s, like so many others. But the X-Men never really made it, the sales couldn't compare to the Fantastic Four and all the others. So their story ended in 1970: the series was discontinued. No more stories of Professor Xavier, Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Angel, Beast and Iceman. Gone the threat of Magneto, the Juggernaut and the Sentinels.
