10 Things You Never Wanted To Know About Mario...

The NES and it's peripherals

Comments
Super Mario Bros. 3 - 98%


 * Totally stunning! Over the last few years i've played an awful lot of games on a lot of different machines - and this beats them all. What else can I say?

Solar Jetman - 92%


 * Hard to fault this game, really. It's technically stunning, incredibly playable and more polished than your mom's silver. Buy and enjoy!

WWF Wrestlemania Challenge - 37%
 * The graphics are good and the wrestling moves are actually quite impressive. But at the end of the day, it's neither challenging, nor very exciting.

Batman - 81%
 * There's nothing really original about this game but who cares when it plays so well? Each level is long with some ingenious and tricky end-of-level challenges. Basically a great game!

Bart vs the Space Mutants - 81%


 * If it wasn't for the lack of a password system, Bart and family would have been kicking around the 90's. Still, this is a real smart game and no mistake!

Captain Skyhawk - 83%


 * Incredibly snazzy graphics, three different types of gameplay, fast-paced action and beautiful presentation. A spiffingly good blast 'em up.

'''Goal! - 39%'''


 * WAH! Flickery graphics, random player-switching and opponents with glue on their boots. Everything you never wanted from a football game.

Solstice - 90%


 * Apart from the lack of a save game this is brill. The graphics are unbelievable, the challenge is huge and the gameplay totally rivetting!

Time Lord - 43%


 * Darn it! I like the idea behind this, but the gameplay is so frustrating. Silly puzzles and poor programming have made this a real pain to play.

Isolated Warrior - 72%


 * Some of the levels drag on a bit, but the graphics are pretty hot (if a little flickery) and the gameplay is frantic! Yep, this is one mean blast!

Digger T. Rock - 58%


 * Lots of neat ideas, but Digger T. Rock is just too frustrating. I didn't really enjoy playing it that much, and I don't think you'll be thrilled either.

Top Gun: The Second Mission - 66%


 * This is an amazing looking game - a real stomach churner. But it's so flippin' tough your stomach will be churning for the wrong reason.

Battle of Olympus - 92%


 * This is a lot prettier than many adventures and there's plenty of slice 'n' dice action. Variety, good atmosphere and a quest that goes on and on!

Defender of the Crown - 71%


 * This classic strategy game is a bit disappointing. It's very good, but could have been even better.

Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart's Super Off Road - 54%
 * No good as a one-player game - it's too easy and too dull. It's only worth a second glance if you're really into simultaneous multi-player action.

Snake Rattle 'n Roll - 90%
 * Another unbelievable game from Rare and Nintendo. It's challenging, plays like a dream and the two-player option is the biz!

Boulder Dash - 90%


 * He may be an old man, but Rockford's looking better than ever. Smart graphics, masses of levels and a challenge bigger than, er, a very big thing.

Gauntlet II - 88%
 * As-near-as-dammit-arcade-perfect. Technically superb and terrific fun with a group of friends.  Delve into the dungeons, but don't go alone!

Skate or Die - 52%
 * If I had the choice between skating and dying it'd be a close-run thing. There are certainly better ways to spend your NES playing time.

Bubble Bobble - 80%
 * Spoiled by too many continues and passwords, but still more playable than the contents of a large jar marked 'Danger! Playable substances!'.

F-1 Race - 88%
 * Who'd have thought such speed was possible on the Gameboy? And it's not just an exercise in programming.  The gameplay is spot-on, the graphics are brill and the four-player option is the bee's knees!

Robocop - 74%
 * Looks professional but the annoying gameplay will get to you. Robo is just too sluggish (unlike his enemies).  It's very good but brilliant.

Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan - 91%
 * I'm not a massive Turtles fan but this is great. The graphics are excellent, the sound is well-funky and what's more it's playable beyond belief.

R-Type - 86%
 * R-Type fans won't find anything new in this version. But if you've been starved of blasting action it's a big enough meal for anybody.
