Crystal Mines
1989
Crystal Mines is part action and part strategy. There is a time limit to locate the crystals in each mine, plus avoiding falling rocks and monsters will keep you on your toes, but before long you will need to figure out how to locate crystals by properly removing obstructions and navigating tricky mazes. Crystal Mines was released as an unlicensed game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Because Nintendo received no fees from the sells of Color Dreams titles, one of the largest unlicensed publishers, Nintendo threatened retailers by ceasing selling titles to participating retailers. As these retailers could not afford to lose Nintendo support, Color Dreams had a much more difficult time moving copies of their titles as a result.Dash Galaxy in the Alien Asylum

But be careful, for many Deathbots are guarding the maze-like passageways leading to the bomb!

Fun House

The general gameplay concept is that each level is like a child's version of The Running Man with a basic top-down view. Players must throw tomatoes skillfully at a series of easy-to-hit targets. Some elements of the game are indirectly taken from the classic arcade game Pole Position (except that the player does not have the option to play as a Formula One vehicle). In order to make it to the next level, the player must make it from the starting line to the finish within the time limit with a young child on inline skates. Otherwise, the player loses a chance and the player must start the stage over again. The host of the televised game show, J. D. Roth, congratulates players for winning a stage while taunting the player with late 1980s/early 1990s sarcasm when he loses a "chance." Icy floors and slime colored ramps offer an additional challenge to the player. There are 72 rooms in the entire Fun House; with targets that are either numbered or given a generic target graphic.
