while it was to an extent the jumping and the switches added a great dimension to the game...it also had significantly better bosses

Keeping in mind it's been any years since I played most of these games, so I'm going by my original hackneyed impressions rather than thorough critiques.

I'm going to add Baseball Simulator 1.000 to the list.

It had extra tweaks like being able to play in outer space, and you could use a certain number of 'magic points' per game to powerup your pitching and hitting. I liked throwing Sidd Finch fastballs and making the batter literally explode.

Anyone remember a game that involved the Dominos Pizza character/mascot?

I remember playing that at my cousins trailer out in Denham way way back in the day.

They also had the sweetest rope swing over a giant ditch. :csb: lol

That was Avoid the Noid, I think. I remember that game being way too hard.

adventure island was a good one.



Ikari warriors was a bit of an obscure game and was hard as hell.



Gotta love California games.
