Last week I received this game from America, but I diden't really want to play it because Ninja platforms aren't really the kind of games that I like to play. But I was curious about the music and graphics in the game, so I put in the machine and saw a great intro and a great storry. We all know, that the sound chip in the NES isen't one of the best, so the sound wasen't that great, but the graphics was amazing. Nice colors and well-drawn pics. As I wrote earlier, I don't like Ninja games (like Blue Shadow), but this one is differen't. The action in this game is great, loads of enemies and weapons. The main weapon is a sword (ofcourse) and then you can collect five other weapons (Throwing star, Windmill Throwing star, The art of the fire wheel, fire dragon balls and invincible fire wheel). You can also split you body into three, so that you control three persons and you can use all three persons when you're fighting against bosses e.t.c. Ryu, the caracter you control, is really easy to move around, which gives the game another +. There's a story between the stages which tells you bit by bit what is going on. BUT you cannot get a password or save teh game when you don't wanna play anymore, you have to start all over. This makes the lastbility low because it's boring to complete the first stages every time you're playing. So my conclusion is, that it's a great game with smooth graphics, ok sound and fun to play, but it gets a bit boring to start all over every time you want to play.

A long time ago an alien civilization placed a giantic dormant space craft on it's surface. This craft was programmed to harvest valuable elements from our solar system. But this will result in total destruction of the Earth. To defeat the alien forces, a hero is called for............. and that hero is MOON RANGER! MOON RANGER is a strange combination of shoot 'em up an platform games,, and the music is awful, loads of howl and strange noice. There are 8 levels in the game and in most of the level the colours are Brown, gray, blue and green.... Yuck. On level 1 little green men are trying to hit your space craft, it is so boring that you want to turn off the NES, and the sound makes it even worse. Ok the levels nice drawn, but MOON RANGER is a big blue "thing", which jumps around and really hard to control. Don't waste you money on this game, and thank you Nintendo, for not giving license to this game.

His coach is Doc Louis, a who were famous for his hard knocks about 1954. It all began, when Doc started as coach for Little Mac. Doc told Mac everything thing he knows about boxing... and a new chapion was born. Punch-Out has 13 tough matches in the minor, major and world circuits that lead to the final challenge - the World Video Association title fight. You have to fight against some tuff boxers like KING HIPPO (Wow, he's tuff) and MR. DREAM (very fast). It starts easy with GLASS JOE and VON KAISER which is very slow, but it gets harder and harder. Punch-Out is the best boxing game i have ever played, nice graphics and colours and the control is great, but the sound could be better. This is a must for every NES player..... Tip: KING HIPPO, hit him in the stomach and then the plaster and you can defeat KING HIPPO, but look out he's strong so don't let him hit you.

But Mega Man (you) has also grown in power and ability. Each of the 8 empires is ruled by a different super robot. Mega Man has to defeat each enemy on his own, building up weapons as you go. After destroying the robots, you have to meet the evil Dr. Willy. Mega Man is a great serie of platform games. There are 6 Mega Man games for the NES. The graphics in Mega Man 2 are great and the difficulty is ok. The sounds are also some of the better ones. The only thing you have to do is jump, shoot and run. This might sound a bit boring, but the stages , so you don't see the same enemies in two of the levels. Are you into Platforms? then buy Mega Man 2 RATINGS. ________________ ________________ __________________ | | | | | | | GRAPHICS : 91% | | SOUND : 82% | | PLAYABILITY: 88% | |________________| |________________| |__________________| ___________________ __________________________________ | | | | | LASTABILITY : 90% | | OVERALL : 89% | |___________________| |__________________________________| _________________________________________________________________________ STUFF ON _______ _ _ ____ _ _ ____ _______ _ |__ __|| |_| || ___| | \ | || ___||__ __| |_| | | | _ || ___| | || ___| | | _ |_| |_| |_||____| |_| \ _||____| |_| |_| Here on the net ther is a lot of URL's FTP sites which has Faqs, ScreenShots e.t.c.
