Kyuukyoku Harikiri Koushien is a baseball game for the Famicom, not unlike any of the others. The main drawing point with this one is that there are close to 100 teams you can choose from. Plus, the traditional baseball stats are not used; rather each player has a set rating for strength and speed, and that is all you get to go by. A neat addition is the power meter, which can help your team get ahead if used properly.
Mario Teaches Typing is one of the few licensed Mario computer titles. As the title suggests, Mario Teaches Typing was designed for improving a computer user's typing skills. Kids with no typing experience will get the most from the program, while enjoying cute antics of Nintendo's popular Mario brothers. All of the game's music was sampled from Super Mario World.
One summer evening, a young man and a woman were driving down a winding mountain road. You take the role of the young man. The young woman is named Nami. The two of you attend the same college. While driving back home from an out-of-town date, you got into an accident. The car's brakes suddenly stopped working, leaving the car totaled and the two of you clueless about where to go, until you spotted the mailbox of a nearby home. Together, you trudged through the woods, struck by the rain and trembling from the lightning. Nami was looking more and more displeased. Emerging from the woods, you found an old western-style mansion gated off with high walls.
While ostensibly a traditional platform game in which the player controls Kawauso-kun, the game has gained renown for being one of the earliest titles to attempt to break away from the video game conventions of the time. Among other convention-flouting novelties that the game offers are a series of fake title screens that the player must pass through at the start, and the allowance of the main character to traverse the background at times to bypass pits of spikes that otherwise appear impossible to cross.
In addition, the character's attack requires the player to hold down the attack button as the game cycles through the possible special moves with the more powerful attacks only highlighted for a short period of time.
Similar to the original Don Doko Don, the player controls a bearded dwarf wielding a hammer to flatten enemies and throw them. But unlike the original, this version is a side-scroller. The game consists of five stages, plus the final boss battles. The player's goal is to reach the end of each stage, defeat a boss, and collect a bag,(antidote ingredient,) to advance to the next.
Galactic Storm is a chase-view shooter in the same vain as Galaxy Force or Taito's own Night Striker. The player controls a spaceship equipped with a shield to withstand multiple hits, in addition to the standard shot there is a also a more effective special weapon in limited supply available. After taking off, the player flies on a predetermined course with some limited maneuvering room through the stages, facing of against waves of enemies (giant robots for example). At the end of a level, a stronger boss enemy awaits. Once this obstacle has been defeated, the ship's shields get recovered to some extent and the player can continue the flight through various environments, including for example the wide-openness of space, planetscapes covered with trees, and narrow tunnels.
Super Bros. 8 is a hack of Don Doko Don 2, released sometime in the early 1990's (likely in March 1992, as implied by its manufacture code). It was likely developed by J.Y. Company, as its PCB has two PROMs suggesting this: one reads JY-A1 and another JY211.
The game takes place in modern times where a great depression has swept over the world. Amidst the depression and its riots of jobless workers, a mad scientist starts his plan of world domination. Taking command in the titular fortress orbiting Earth, the evil Doctor Gegeben Funkerun uses his own robots, flying fortresses and mercenaries to wreak havoc across the globe until all his demands are met. Assisting the attacked and weakened governments, workers across the nations help develop a series of jet fighters called the Aizerun Geist to use against the forces of Dr. Funkerun and save the world.
Before each stage begins, players are given a choice of weapons to purchase at a hangar for the Aizerun Geist. There are four weapons within three tiers to choose from including Main Attack, Sub Weapon and Bomb. Of the Main Attack the player can choose Twin Shot, Laser, Heavy Laser and the Charge Shot. Of the Sub Weapons, players can choose additional firepower, Homing Missiles, Shielded Options or an energy barrier. Play
From Wikipedia: "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is a video game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992. It is the sequel the original Star Wars for the NES. This is the second of three video games released under the Empire Strikes Back title for home video game systems. It was preceded by a version for the Atari 2600 and succeeded by Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back for the SNES.
The NES version was released the same year as JVC's Super Star Wars for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. As Empire was released towards the end of the NES's lifecycle, a corresponding sequel to the film Return of the Jedi was never developed, nor released.
A version of the game was released for the Game Boy. That product was reprinted and distributed by several publishers over the course of three years."
