Battletoads
- Battletoads (1991 NES)
- A new team of fighting mutant reptiles are here and they're taking on the Dark Queen for the fate of the universe in this incredibly hard NES title.
- Battletoads (1991 Game Boy)
- The Toads return for a pretty solid, if easier, second entry in the franchise, this time for portable fans.
- Battletoads in Battlemaniacs
- A third entry joins the Toads franchise, but this time it really does feel like the seams are starting to show in this inferior SNES entry.
- Battletoads & Double Dragon: The Ulitmate Team
- The Toads join the Dragon boys for a team-up that meets all expectations (at least if you're a Toads fan).
- Battletoads (1994 Arcade)
- The Toads get bloody in this quarter munching arcade title, but the game itself isn't anything special to speak of.
Donkey Kong Country
- Donkey Kong Country
- Rare comes out swinging with this fabulous platformer that's remains a classic to play even after the luster of its graphics has faded.
- Donkey Kong Land
- Somehow managing to repurpose the SNES title onto the Game Boy, this first Land entry actually feels like a pretty solid entry in its own right.
- Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
- Diddy is back, with new pal Dixie, on a quest to find Donkey Kong and once again fight the evil Kremlings.
- Donkey Kong Land 2
- Diddy and Dixie return for a Game Boy game that feels all too familar to its SNES source material.
R.C. Pro-Am
- R.C. Pro-Am
- Rare's first big success, this game translated racing into a different dimension, creating an enjoyable, arcade-style experience.
- Super R.C. Pro-Am
- This Game Boy sequel took everything the NES original did, and then made it better, creating one of the best portable racing titles of its generation.
- R.C. Pro-Am II
- This NES sequel adds in a few new twists, but it's overall a weaker experience that can't match what its Game Boy predecessor had on offer.
Other Games
- The Amazing Spider-Man (1990 Game Boy Game)
- 1990 saw two unrelated Amazing Spider-man, and this one comes from Rare on the Game Boy... but that doesn't make for a better game.
