    A fun little time-waster with some interesting level mechanics let down by some seriously dodgy controls and mostly uninteresting combat. It is responsible for adding some of the best (and cutest) characters to the Super Smash Bros. series though (the aptly-named Ice Climbers), so I can't hate it too much.

    Ice Climbers maybe small space and have cliche gameplay but still a classic that can entertain most people. Personally this is a great game in my eyes.

    A game many will be surprised to be on this list, but it happens to be one of the best. [Summer 2004, p.15]

    A true classic. The Souvalou moves at a somewhat glacial pace and the graphics are hopelessly flat, but besides those shortcomings it's still a phenomenal action game.

    Without a doubt, a prized old-school shooter that stacks up against "Gradius" and others with great fortitude. Though simple, the game is some of the most fun $20.00 can net you.
