A very weird action game that has nothing to do with the first game. Odd.

A game part of a very ambitious attempt of a series that ended up failing hard. It tries to do multiple gameplay styles. Whether or not you think it works well is up to you. It's a part of history that most seemed to be unaware of. Would recommend F_T_B's video on Youtube about the project.

Another Heracles game, not much to say, if you like the first well here's another.

A fun platformer that's best played with a friend if possible.

A port of a computer game that is one of the weaker versions but worth playing as it has content unique to this version.

A game similar to Zelda 2 but lacks some of the quality from that game and is a more level by level thing.

A good improvement over the previous Twinbee games and there is still fun co-op to be had, though the three player mode is sadly gone. The presentation is also amazing for a shmup of the time.

An action side scroller that tries to have a lot of the levels be huge and easy to get lost in. It can be pretty fun despite Sunsoft still not reaching their high points yet. You might need a guide for it if you lack patience and make sure to remember the continue cheat otherwise it's back to the beginning.

The 2nd game in the Goemon series. It has some tough secrets and the platforming over water can be frustrating but it was a nice start to a series that would only get better from here.

Play this with 4 players for the most enjoyment.

One of Micronics worst games on the system. It's so bad I couldn't even finish it and I actually enjoyed the manga.

Similar to Itadaki Street, best played with friends.

I just want you all to suffer like I did with this game lol. The ad for it is pretty cool though. (ok it probably isn't but I LIKED IT!!)

A cute little game where you control two penguins moving opposite directions as you try to lead them to the goal while avoiding stuff like spiders. Give it a go if you got 20 minutes to spare.

A decent platformer by Arc System Works.

It's a Wagyan Land clone

A top down game where you dig holes to trap bad guys. It's a pretty simple game with the only real design flaw is dying means losing possibly minutes of progress.

An action RPG with really good visuals. Gameplay will vary for some people.

If you liked the first one, you should enjoy this too.

A Konami game that's top down with mazelike level design. It won't be simple to reach the end of this one but there's fun to be had here.

A very odd game that really has nothing to do with what it's based on. Not good but funny.

An interesting sequel adding new improvements though it might be too easy for some.

Enix's first game and was a port of a computer game. A very simple game but a fun concept. It's only really hampered by it's very slow speed. Still worth a look at.

Supposedly a Dragon Quest clone by Data East. It would start a series of games that we mostly never got, an interesting series.

A fun text adventure by Sunsoft.

If you like Xevious, you might like this with a level based structure and many cryptic ways to complete levels along with some tough difficulty. Only hardcore Xevious fans will probably enjoy it but it's still very interesting regardless.

A Data East platformer using the McDonalds brand. It's got some interesting ideas involving the bombs and is a decent time.

An obscure sequel with some decent ideas. Worth a look.

A fun platformer based off an anime.

Infamous kusoge by Sunsoft that's worth at least trying just to see how bad a lot of the game design is.

The best fighting game on the system with fun designs and simple gameplay that will keep you coming back.

While not the only first 3rd party game for the system (often said in the US side of gaming discussion) this is still a fun little game especially for 1984. A bunch of levels and a nice simple premise.

This game took over like a decade for someone to actually beat it.

One of the worst games on the system that should be played just for that reason.

A game centered around a guy who doesn't even like video games. The design of it is insane and unorthodox. It's very easy to lose too and will not play fair.

A very cruel game by Sunsoft where you'll be playing over and over again to even stand a chance to see the end. You'll probably need a guide if you want to not go insane. Despite that, it's got a legacy and is still ported to this day.

It's now a platformer and it's really good. With some really fun level design. It can be a bit easy.

An interesting text adventure game but sadly no fan translation.

A cartridge version of a disk system game. A fun platformer with some creative ideas.

This is like the only Badminton game on the system. It's made by Pax Softnica who would later do Mother 1 and a couple of the Hamtaro games.

An RPG mixed with a shmup. The concept alone is interesting but be warned it has grinding.

A really fun car battler game that's pretty simple and short.

An interesting sidescroller but can be punishing.

A 4 player fighting game that can be pretty fun and addicting though the framerate is poor.

Not a good game but an interesting part of the series no one ever seems to talk about. It's based off an Anime adaption (you might have seen its wtf take on Bomberman)

A fun puzzle game by Konami, it can be a bit too easy for some though.

While not my thing, this game is well liked in Japan. You first have to stop the express which was originally from a computer game. The next level becomes more open and top down and it's unfortunately got issues. It's a neat little game for 1985 once you learn how to beat it and be patient. Just don't play on the easiest difficulty.

A game made by Compile that is infamous for not following the source material at all. You control three characters at the same time and it's not fun at all. One of the more notable kusoge games.

Jaleco copying Westone's homework.

A good improvement on the first game with better level design and the whole game is co-op.

A pretty standard and easy RPG but with the fun Goemon flare to it.

An odd take for a sidescroller sequel making it top down. Worth a look if you're curious.

A game with ideas used from a cancelled Mega Drive game. It has multiple endings, top down gameplay and even a level order you can choose.

It's interesting for the unique content but that's about it.

A very interesting shmup that tries to have time travel. It's not even a full on shmup as it also has moments where you walk around in areas blasting enemies. It's flawed but quite intriguing of a game.

A text adventure with some of the most impressive visuals on the console. It sadly however almost killed HAL as a company due to poor sales.

A port of an Arcade game where you throw balls at your opponents side to make sure you have less by the end of the timer. It's very challenging but you can also hold a tournament at a party even if there are better versions of this game nowadays. It's still a neat novelty of a game.

An interesting platformer worth playing but sadly held back by performance issues and some lackluster level design and bosses.

A very odd take on the Star Wars license. In some ways the game reminds me of Alex Kidd. The game is also pretty damn hard.

A decent Castlevania clone.

A port of one of the most innovative games for the time. It's a text adventure mystery and while there is much better out there nowadays, it's still worth playing as a history piece of the genre.

A short and easy action game by Natsume. Think of it like a lighter version of Shatterhand.

A really fun text adventure with some funny artwork and dialogue. The game also has a lot of memorable music.

An interesting text adventure game.

An interesting RPG by Westone with combat that reminds me of the Wonder Boy games.

While it's been ported nowadays, this is still a neat block puzzle game to try if you like those on this console. you have to lift them and use them for going higher. It's pretty tricky and if you like it enough, it got remade on the PS1.

Another kusoge game filled with poor gameplay decisions based off a license and it's brutally hard. Even later Transformers media has referenced its infamy. Play it if you want a impossible feeling challenge.

More Kunio-Kun. This one seems to be too easy for some so be wary of that.

The actual first game using a save feature on a cartridge.

A very ambitious Zelda like game that tries many ideas and sort of fails at it at times but it's hard to deny the admiration of it all. It's worth at least playing a bit to see what it's like but if it's not for you, stick with the fun Arcade sequel. This was also remade on PS1.

An obscure action game that also has shmup sections. The difficulty is very inconsistent in this one.

The only good Sumo game for the console.

A port by Sunsoft that's better than the one Tengen made. This is usually regarded as one of the better games Sunsoft did before Metafight.

A fun puzzle game that you might have played on the GB

An interesting board game that reminds me of Dokapon Kingdom.

If you know Japanese, play this just to be amazed at how it's one of the hardest games on the system.

A good port of a Konami Arcade game. Really fun if you have a friend to play as Winbee. Only real gripe is the last level is not too well balanced. If you like early shmups, this is one of the best.

A very fun platformer and you can even create your own character.

While it's more known for the infamous cover that disappointed many players, this is still a decent little game that feels like it could have been done on a computer of the time. It's not anything amazing but an interesting little title.

Another Soccer game by Kunio-kun

A maze action game with many weapons to use. There's not much to say about it but it's fun :>

A sequel to 3D World Runner. It's pretty much the same game but a bit better.

An interesting spinoff that feels more like a Rockman game.

Similar to Cosmic Epsilon but better than it graphically, gameplay and even has a story.

A fun little puzzle game using the most popular Sanrio character at the time.

Similar to our Adventures of Lolo 3 but different and more difficult.

One of the rare instances of a decent TOSE and Bandai game. Just don't look up the game on Google.

Despite not being a Japanese property, this was Japan only. It's pretty horrible sadly, with an awful attack, uninteresting level design, and just not fun at all.

A mediocre fighting game but notable for being one of the more interesting ones of the time.

Another Konami game that's a platformer with some unique mechanics. This is still that era where things can be cryptically hidden but this is still a nice little overlooked game.

A fun top down game with Bomberman like weapons.

Really cool gameplay and cutscenes. The detailed movement can be a detriment but the game is still pretty fun once you get good.

It's Arkanoid again so if you enjoyed the first, you'll enjoy this too.

A 2D action game by Konami with very creepy sprite designs and an interesting overworld. Mostly forgotten in the west due to only getting the more modern rougelike game on modern consoles. Worth a go.

There's too many Kunio-Kun games I'm tired. IT'S BASKETBALL BUT COOL

While this did come out here as Bases Loaded, this original Famicom version is infamous for how buggy it is. Despite that, it still sold well and disappointed many Japanese players.

A very interesting RPG that tried to not be like Dragon Quest. This has a remake on the Super Famicom.

The most hated Jajamaru game but is an interesting platformer.

One of the worst RPGs ever made. It needs to be seen to believe. It even got a Switch release due to how hated it has become.

A prequel to Tower of Druaga that's now a puzzle platformer. Worth a look as the series is unfortunately underlooked here in the West.
