All 6 classic games released in 1991 — with reviews, cheats, and trivia.
Widely considered the greatest action-adventure game ever made. A Link to the Past perfected the top-down Zelda formula with its Light World/Dark World duality, 12 intricate dungeons, and a richly realized Hyrule.
Sega's answer to Mario introduced a blue hedgehog who could run faster than the screen could keep up. Sonic the Hedgehog launched a franchise and gave Sega the mascot they needed to compete with Nintendo.
The definitive 16-bit Castlevania experience. Super Castlevania IV gave Simon Belmont free whip directional control, used the SNES hardware for stunning visual and audio effects, and delivered the series' most atmospheric adventure.
The greatest football game of the 8-bit era and arguably the greatest sports game on NES. Tecmo Super Bowl's real NFL teams, players, and play-calling depth set a standard that dominated for years.
Rare's beat-em-up masterpiece is one of the most technically impressive NES games ever made — and one of the most brutally difficult. The Turbo Tunnel alone has broken thousands of controllers.
The Blue Bomber's first portable outing takes bosses from Mega Man 1 and 2 and combines them into a challenging handheld adventure. A faithful if punishing translation of the NES series that holds its own as a standalone Mega Man experience.
