Missed opportunity for a cliffhanger ending, of course. It’s a simple brawler based on a simple movie. There’s less cliffhanging and more bad-guy punching. Oddly, the Japanese Super Famicom Casper is different, with the roles reversed in an isometric perspective. This plays kind of like A Boy and his Blob, with Casper tethered to Kat Harvey. The graphics are a little gaudy, but you came to fight Dracula, and fight Dracula you shall. This is a semi-sufficient replacement for gamers that crave more Castlevania. Beethoven: The Ultimate Canine CaperĪ simple platformer where you can play as a dog that barks at enemies for damage. Walking is slow, attacking is slow, and enemies have seemingly infinite health. This is the slowest beat-em-up of all time. You play as Beast and try to save Belle, but there’s little to separate it from other games in the genre. This side-scrolling game is rather generic. Unlike Batman Forever, this is a creative side-scrolling action game that uses the Animated Series’ aesthetic effectively. Notably, there is a “training mode” that attempts to be a fully-fledged tournament fighter, but it fails miserably. This is a truly terrible game that’s great fun to watch during speed run conventions. The colors are sharp, and the levels aren’t too long are hard this title is very kid friendly. An American Tail: Fievel Goes Westįievel gets to take down some 16-bit bosses with decent gameplay variety. This port is leagues ahead of the NES version, which was only released a few months earlier. Ripley makes her way through a passable run-and-gun adventure. The SNES version and the Genesis version have obvious differences, but they’re both masterpieces.

AladdinĪladdin is often considered one of the best licensed platformers of all time. Bonus points to the developers for making an action RPG with the license instead of a platformer. The password system is infuriating, but the game itself is solid. This is A Link to the Past, but with Uncle Fester and friends. You only get to play as Gomez, and the only levels are in the family’s mansion, but it’s worth a play if you’re a fan. Mediocre SNES platformers can often be saved with great mascots, and this is no exception. The graphics and controls are a little lackluster. This is an action-platformer with co-op gameplay and great sound design.
