Mega File

Addams Family
Acclaim

A worthy conversion, this above average genre title possesses many hours of challenging puzzles and addictive gameplay.

Alex Kidd & The Lost Stars
Sega

Definatley one for the kiddies. Very bland, monotonous, action indeed.

Alex Kidd in Hi-Tech World
Sega

Another one for the youngsters. Way too easy for anyone with an IQ greater than 50.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World
Sega

The built-in game for most MSIIs, this was his first excursion and not a bad effort either. Plenty here to keep most gamers enthralled for a few hours at least.

Alex Kidd in Shinobi World
Sega

The sort of innovative, lateral thinking crossover that we rarely see from sega. Kinda quirky but a lot of fun.

Alien 3
Flying Edge

A decent conversion from the MD, lacks sonics and graphics, but thats to be expected. All in all, not bad for fans of the movie who want something a little different.

Asterix
Sega

Some stunning graphics for the 8-bit and addictive gameplay, this will appeal to fans of the little Gaul and others alike.

Asterix The Secret Mission
Sega

A classic and addictive game that boasts crisp graphics, and awesome play. The depth inherent in this game will guarantee that gamers will keep coming back time and again.

Back to The Future II

Image Works

Movie licence that is, without a doubt, absolute junk.

Back to The Future III
Flying Edge

More junk.

Batman Returns
Sega

Looks good, sounds great, plays like a duck on a cricket pitch.

Bubble Bobble
Sega

An absolutely brilliant conversion and one of the most faithful. Lots of bonuses and lasting challenges in two player mode make this game and absolute classic.

Castle of Illusion
Sega

An absolute classic in video gaming. Don't just sit there, if you havent got it, go out and get it now!

Chuck Rock
Virgin

Very boring game that relies more on sheer luck than playing skill.

Cool Spot
Virgin

The spot himself is back in this triumph to multi-media advertising licences. Sprites are smaller than on the MD version and the action is less frenetic, but still worth a look.

Cyber Shinobi
Sega

Shinobi 2 to all its intents and purposes. Way easy and lacks decent sprite collision detection.

ESWAT
Sega

Control a promotion-hungry, paramilitary type as he searches through level after level of things to shoot at. Poor graphics and presentation overall coupled with a decided lack of challenge will ensure that you don't keep coming back for more.

Fire &Ice
Virgin

A fun little romp through numerous levels of mayhem. Addictive and challenging play will keep you coming back just to see what is in the next level. Hampered by frustrating collision detection, it's a lot of fun just the same.

Flintstones
Grandslam

Cute, colourful sprites and polished presentation make for a movie licence that looks good, unfortunately it playes like crud. Way to easy and should only be attempted by the younger members of the family.

Ghost House
Sega

Level after level of running, climbing, shooting and punching at numerous ghosts and ghouls and vampire. Fairly mindless in all, good for a laugh.

Ghouls 'n' Ghosts
Sega

A stunning conversion, this features all of the original's charm and playability. Perhaps not as polished, it plays like a dream and if you don't have it then you oughta consider buying it now.

Home Alone
Sega

Kevin must run around a series of levels searching for artifacts that he canuse to cobble together traps to thwart the burglars in this licence from the movie. Fun enough in itself, but lacks any longevity.

Impossible Mission
Sega

The archtypal platformer, and the game that everyone since has attempted to equal, but none have succeeded. Simply superb in its execution and the speech by Calirornia Speech Labs is an absolute monster. Rumoured to have been written by an Australian.

Indiana Jones 3: Last Crusade
US Gold

A visually stunning movie licence that is thwarted in large part by the impossibly high difficulty setting and fickle control method.

James Bond
Domark

Pretty much identical with its 16-bit cousin, baddies abound and the thrills are continuous. Once you have completed it you will be unlikely to keep coming back though.

James Pond II
US Gold

Almost identical with the MD version, this game boasts colourful graphics and enthralling gameplay in a cart that is the MS equivalent of Super Mario World.

Jungle Book
Virgin

Some cute animations and intriguing gameplay make this one worth checking out, It is not fast paced nor does it have hordes of aliens, it is a more laid back experience and a lot of fun.

Krusty's Fun House
Acclaim

A hot simpsons licence that see's Krusty as the hero of the piece in what amounts to a Lemmings-esque style of game. Lead rats into traps before they take over Krusty's studio.

Land of Illusion
Sega

An absolutely brilliant scrolly platformer that boasts cutesy characters aplently, stunning backdrops and wicked gameplay. An all-time classic masterpiece in the genre.

Lucky Dime Caper
Sega

Donald's outing is a staggering one and well worthy of the reputation that mickey's carts have engendered the Disney series. Lovely sprite animation and a wealth of things to see and do.

Moonwalker
Sega

The graphics are passable and the sound functional, but this quirky little platformer, while better than the film it is licenced from, is still unlikely to please due to its total lack of challenge.

New Zealand Story
Tecmagik

Colourful graphics, foot-stomping tunes and absorbing gameplay make this a game that must surely be in every platformer addicts collection.

Ninja Gaiden
Sega

Small sprites and fiddly controls are the only blemishes in this martial platformer. Too similar to so many of the other platformers out there to be considered truly inspired, Ninja fans will be pleased however.

Penguin Land
Sega

Guide your penguin through level after level of dangers and pitfalls, keeping your egg safe all the time. Addictive and compulsive gameplay.

Prince of Persia
Domark

One of the best travekked games in electronic gaming software history. Huge play area, fiendish puzzles and beautifully rotoscoped sprites all come together in this beautiful game.
