39 FORTRESS OF NARZOD
The game were your own shots can kill you. Good graphics.

This driving game has controls that are way too sensitive. It's almost impossible
not to hit the sides of the road (which is an instant death) and good luck avoiding
the other cars at 150km per hour.
For
1 or 2players.

RIP OFF
59 ROCKAROIDS
A near perfect arcade translation of Atari's Asteroids.
36 SCRAMBLE (Konami, 1982)
Konami's early shoot em up that kinda plays like a crappy version of Gradius.

47 SPIKE'S WATER BALLOONS
