Actraiser

According to the instruction booklet, the world is maintained by a deity known as "The Master." Tanzra, referred to as "The Evil One", is the eternal enemy of The Master and wishes to conquer the world. His six Guardians attacked The Master in a battle that lasted several days. After the battle, The Master retreated to his Sky Palace, which floats in the sky atop a cloud, to tend to his grave injuries. He erected a barricade and fell into a long and deep sleep. With The Master incapacitated, Tanzra divided the world into six lands, each ruled by one of his guardians. The Master awoke several hundred years later with his injuries completely healed, but his power had been removed as the people turned towards evil. He removed his barrier from the Sky Palace, determined to free the world from The Evil One

Bonks revenge

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonk%27s_Revenge

Bonk's Revenge is a 2D platformer originally for the TurboGrafx 16 console, created in 1991 by the Red Company for Hudson and Turbo Technologies, and licensed by NEC. The game features Bonk -- a large-headed caveman -- on a quest to recover half of the moon, which was stolen by the evil King Drool. Its multiple stages each contain several specific areas, which range from outdoors to trains to space to underwater. As in most platformers, Bonk has several crucial abilities: the A button causes him to jump; the B button causes him to "bonk," an action in which Bonk slams his head forward, inflicting a killing blow on most enemies; A jump-B combo causes Bonk to head-butt the Earth, killing enemies he lands on and creating a damaging shockwave; A frequent tapping of B in midair causes Bonk to rotate and hover, allowing for long, controlled jumps. Bonk can also use his large mouth to grip onto surfaces for climbing.

A mildly entertaining platromer

[Napalmbrain]

Not the greatest line up ever, but it could have been worse.

 

[Cactus]

Oh, Bonks Revenge is a good one. I haven't played that in a very long time. Pac-man is a must play, but it isn't a must buy.

 

[Napalmbrain]

Anyone know if Act Raiser is any good? I've just read a bit about it and I'm interested.

 

[Byuakuya]

I am not actually interested in this week's lineup.

 

[ericlewis91]

[Backwards Man]

Those are preety good actually..Bonks Revenge is a must...and Pacman! Classic.

 

[Dreamweaver]

Why would I pay £3.50 for Pac Man. I'm sitting at a PC.
Being a new Nintendo fan can't comment on the other two, I might look into Bonk's Revenge though.

 

[Wii_Smurf]

I might Get Pacman but I want Sonic/Mario first!

At least they didn't completely rip people off and release a new version with Wiimote control. Although that could change... :lol:

Pac-Man is one of the most overrated games ever!

Haven't played Actraiser yet, but it has been rated by Gamespot as 1 of the best games of all time due to being a Simulation\Platformer hybrid.

Pacman is smooth, instant, simple and addictive. Bet you can't manage a more than a few levels. The world record holder plays for days on end literally. There is even rivalry I hear between fellow record attempters.
