Sonic Wings Special is a 1996 vertical-scrolling shoot 'em up that combines the features in Sonic Wings, Sonic Wings 2, and Sonic Wings 3.
It was ported to arcade as Sonic Wings Limited.
The home console version adds new characters and endings, new bosses, updated graphics and unlockable planes. There are also Time Attack and 2-player modes. The game uses a branching stage system, so it is impossible to see all levels in one sitting. There is a total of 14 playable characters and many different endings (some of which are reused from previous games in the series). Overall the game has a comic feel.
As of Summer 2012, the Android version of Sonic Wings Special has only 4 playable characters with 4 endings and 9 stages. However, the publisher is planning to add further elements of the original version.
The story follows the teenagers Elliot Edwards and Claris Sinclair, who enter Nightopia, a dream world where all dreams take place. With the help of Nights, an exiled "Nightmaren", they begin a journey to stop the evil ruler Wizeman from destroying Nightopia and consequently the real world. Players control Nights flying through Elliot and Claris's dreams to gather enough energy to defeat Wizeman and save Nightopia. The game is presented in 3D and imposes time limits on every level, in which the player must accumulate points to proceed.

Bal Cube is a ball and paddle type arcade game that gives two players control over their own bouncing ball shaped like a cube or "bal cube." Unlike Arkanoid, instead of controlling horizontal movement of a paddle at the bottom of the board, players horizontally control their bal cube destroying blocks in the level and making use of stationary paddles on the floor that temporarily disappear when used. Players can interfere with their opponent by making combos and sending ghost blocks.
Tecmo World Golf distinguishes itself from all previous console golf games by offering 101 (yes, that's 1-0-1) authentic Japanese courses to play on. Choose from four male or four female players, each differing in power and shot tendency, or customize your own character.
You'll be able to edit the golfer's name, appearance, handicap (from one to forty) and shot tendency, which determines the ball's trajectory after contact is made. You can also adjust each club's maximum shot distance and the golfer's starting tee position to improve your performance out on the links.
