	X-Men review (NES) Reviewed on Date Unknown Then there are the enemy formations, always designed so that you're cornered and bounced around from foe to foe, or into the lethal toilets or lava pits. And sometimes, when all you need is an invulnerability icon to proceed, the game will give you nothing for minutes at a time. Then it will shower you with them once you die and resume your mission as a new mutant. I can almost hear the bitter developers laughing at me from beyond the television screen whenever I play this game.	1/5
	Little Nemo: The Dream Master review (NES) Reviewed on Date Unknown See, Nemo carries with him an apparently endless supply of bubblegum. Naturally, any good beast appreciates something on which to chew, so you can chuck some of it at a creature, watch for it to start blowing bubbles, then ride it. The creatures that most instantly come to mind are a mole/badger sort of thing, a bumblebee, a crab, and an ape.	4/5
	Felix the Cat review (NES) Reviewed on Date Unknown Not every stage is restricted to platform hopping. In one, for example, you fly over a desert in a hot air balloon, tossing frisbees at grounded foes. There are also places where you swim, or where you skim along the surface of the water on a dolphin's back. No one type of level is really overdone, so there's a good sense of variety.	3.5/5
	Bible Adventures review (NES) Reviewed on Date Unknown This is especially true of Noah. He can lift pigs, snakes, turtles, horses, and even cows (see, you thought I forgot my promise to get back to that). Amusingly, he can even rotate the order of animals in the stack, for when he needs to discard an unwanted one. This sometimes leads to Noah running toward the ark while a horse, cow, and pig are balanced atop a single acorn.	3.5/5
	Frequency review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown Bearing a surprising number of similarities to Parappa the Rapper yet supporting style and substance all its own, Frequency manages to be a breath of fresh air the belongs on your shelf if you're a fan of the narrow genre in which it falls.	3.5/5
	Advance Wars review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown What makes the game good is that there are such a wide variety of ways the enemy can screw you over while you are hunting him down. Some maps have snow, which the enemy always finds a more welcome element than you do.	4/5
	Sonic Adventure review (DC) Reviewed on Date Unknown See, the game isn't just about action stages. Taking a note from Mario, Sega decided to include a central hub that collects levels. This area is populated by people and wide open spaces where nothing is happening. To get from one area to the next, Sonic must traverse the extremely dull hub, and perhaps even solve a few puzzles along the way. Even if he happens to be retrieving some power-up, though, this portion of the game is downright dull.	3/5
	Super Mario Bros. Deluxe review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown I remember when men were men and mushrooms were the villainous scum standing between us and a kiss from the princess. Nintendo’s efforts to reinvigorate the classic with new modes is definitely appreciated, but that shouldn’t make you buy the cartridge. Instead, pick it up if you like the idea of stomping mushrooms on the road. In the end, that’s what it comes down to.	4/5
	Smashing Drive review (GCN) Reviewed on Date Unknown The minute you have control of your cab, things start happening. Cars are speeding toward you, jets are landing and taking off, ferries are moving across the water, a giant gorilla is scaling a skyscraper, and so forth. The environments always sport a good level of activity.	2/5
	The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown Though the world is massive and intricately-designed (and the dungeons too), there are likely to come several points where you find yourself groaning as you realize you have to make a trip back over most of the map. At such times, the map can seem a shade too sparesely populated by worthy opponents, or the number of rocks and holes you encounter may prove irritating.	4.5/5
	Pac-Man World 2 review (GCN) Reviewed on Date Unknown The variety from level to level isn't so huge, but there are 6 different worlds, each of which is quite distinct. You have your usual intro levels, the forest world, the ice world, the fire world, the water world, and the boss world. Each world has 3 or 4 stages and a boss encounter.	4/5
	Banjo-Kazooie review (N64) Reviewed on Date Unknown There's the usual range of areas, from the beach and snow areas I already mentioned to a swampland, a desert, a forest and even a haunted house (as well as an underwater stage). That may sound like a bad thing if you're one of those who craves originality on all levels, yet each locale's presentation is so flawless that you won't mind wandering through the same 'old hat' one final time.	4/5
	Clayfighter 63 1/3 review (N64) Reviewed on Date Unknown So, just how funny are those lines? Well, they're worth a few laughs. For as much as an hour or two, you're likely to find them quite amusing. Then you'll realize you're playing a crappy game and that you can have almost as much fun watching a rerun of Seinfeld. It's hard to listen to Santa's idle threats for very long without tiring of them, and this is true of any character.	2/5
	Diddy Kong Racing review (N64) Reviewed on Date Unknown There are levels built with each of the three vehicles in mind, and they work marvelously. The hovercraft is my personal favorite. It's fun to whip across a pool of water as a shortcut while your opponents must drive around it. Also, the levels designed specifically with that ride in mind often allow you to go rushing down rivers, avoiding logs and in general having a good, wet time. Many of the levels feel quite different from one another in part because of such deviations from the norm.	4/5
	Breath of Fire II review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown You walk through a dungeon and when you get to the end, you never find yourself thinking what a boring drag of a place it was. Instead, you're almost (dare I say it?) anxious for the next dungeon. How Capcom manages to keep things so fresh is beyond me, but each dungeon is unique and a pleasure to explore, even though enemies do attack more often than you might appreciate.	4/5
	Goldeneye 007 review (N64) Reviewed on Date Unknown All I can say is that I'm glad Natalya didn't have a larger role in this production, or it might well have been ruined. Another thing I'm thankful for is the multi-player mode. It's both a reason to play the one-player campaign (you can unlock extra arena features) and a game of its own. I've played several first-person shooters since, and I always check out the battle arenas because I love the ones in GoldenEye. But so far, none beat what you'll find here.	4.5/5
	Mario Kart 64 review (N64) Reviewed on Date Unknown Even straight stretches are an opportunity to pull ahead of the competition, not to mention the winding areas where the game leads you. For example, one level lets you race along a frozen lake and through an ice cavern while penguins come down from the hills. It’s possible to slide into the curve, around columns of ice and birds, all the way through to the other side on a single power slide. Alternatively, you can milk the winding path for two or three turbo boosts.	4.5/5
	Mario Party review (N64) Reviewed on Date Unknown Between the mini games, you must traverse a variety of locations that feel as if they were filched from Monopoly. Ovate spaces (primarily red and blue) litter environments that range from lush jungles to sultry islands and even a birthday cake and castle in the sky. Prior to any round of Mario Party, you get to choose your favorite and run with it. The boards aren’t just decorative, either.	3.5/5
	Rampage 2: Universal Tour review (N64) Reviewed on Date Unknown Any area starts with a timer that ticks down toward monster Armageddon, and you have to destroy every building before that happens or else planes will come through dropping bombs that cut short your adventure. You can pick up clocks to delay the blessed event, but really the most effective technique is to just work fast at the wanton destruction. Otherwise, it doesn’t take long to plow through your reserves on a particularly large city.	3/5
	Space Station: Silicon Valley review (N64) Reviewed on Date Unknown Rather than trying to find all the cheese nuggets on a mountain, or all the geepeepaboos, you are instead trying to reassemble your ship. Though this may sound like just another fetch quest, it feels like so much more thanks to intuitive execution. You don't just bounce merrily up the side of a hill, or ride an ostrich, or put on the magical cape and feather hat. In fact, such tasks would be nearly impossible for you, since your form is roughly equivalent to a waffle maker with legs.	3.5/5
