Rygar

96 %

1986 PlayStation

  • Fantasy setting
  • Challenging difficulty
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic arcade platformer where the resurrected warrior Rygar fights through hordes of monsters with his Diskarmor to reach the demon Ligar. Fast, linear action with old-school 1980s difficulty.

Athena

Action-packed real-time combat

A classic SNK arcade platformer where Princess Athena fights through mythology-inspired worlds, picking up weapons and armor along the way.

8 Eyes

Challenging difficulty

A classic 8-bit platformer where you fight through castles as falconer Orin, directing your falcon Cutrus to attack enemies. In two-player mode, a second player controls the falcon.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Action-packed real-time combat

A side-scrolling spin-off of Mortal Kombat that blends brawling with platforming. You play Sub-Zero in a prequel to the first tournament, though clunky controls make it quite frustrating.

Haunted Castle

Challenging difficulty

An arcade-style Castlevania spin-off where Simon Belmont whips his way through Dracula's castle to rescue his kidnapped bride. It is short, linear and notorious for its punishing difficulty.

Knightmare

Fantasy setting

An early Konami MSX classic: as the knight Popolon you fight upward through vertically scrolling levels full of enemies to rescue Princess Aphrodite. It blends shoot-'em-up action with a medieval fantasy setting and power-ups.

Sengoku

Action-packed real-time combat

A classic side-scrolling arcade beat-'em-up in which a powerful warrior fights ghosts and demons from Japan's past who threaten to overrun the present day.

Mighty Bomb Jack

Focus on a single character

A classic arcade platformer where Jack leaps through a pyramid collecting bombs and dodging enemies. The palace rooms reuse the original Bomb Jack formula, while the action zones add power-ups and more variety.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

Fantasy setting

A classic 8-bit Sega platformer where Alex Kidd punches his way across Aries, rides vehicles and settles boss fights with rock-paper-scissors duels. Charming yet fairly tough, and an important piece of Sega history.
