Pulseman for the Mega Drive (by Game Freak/1994) was released exclusively in Japan, but in 1995 it was made available in North America via the Sega Channel service. It's regarded as a high-quality "hidden gem" and many of its devs became key staff on the Pokémon series later. ⚡

Moon Crystal for the Famicom (by Hect/1992) is a 2D action-platformer with remarkably fluid animations, rarely seen on 8-bit hardware. Never officially released in North America or Europe (on NES), but even so, it's highly regarded by retro gaming fans due to its high quality. Has not yet re-released or included in any modern game collection for a modern system.

Virtua Racing for the arcade (Sega/1992). Another praised technical marvel by the AM2 team, it helped to introduce 3D polygon graphics to a wider audience - a technology that was, up to that point, still restricted to the home computer niche and flight simulation industry. It's a bit short since it only contains 3 tracks, but its smoothness and responsive controls make up for that.

Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse for the Mega Drive (Sega/1990). Another excellent Disney game on this system, featuring great graphics, responsive controls and creative level design. Though designed to be accessible, it offers a satisfying challenge and remains a benchmark for platformers in that generation.

Metal Slug 6 was released during the series’ 10th anniversary year. It was also the first Metal Slug game to move beyond the Neo Geo platform and launch on the Atomiswave system. Since it came out during a period when the arcade market was already in decline, not many people seem to remember this title today. While the graphics did improve with the platform change, it doesn’t quite capture the finely crafted pixel art style that made Metal Slug 2 and 3 so memorable. In particular, the high-resolution backgrounds can feel a bit awkward because they don’t always blend naturally with the lower-resolution character sprites. The game also introduced Clark and Ralf as playable characters, along with unique special abilities for each character. A new weapon switching system was added as well, allowing players to carry and swap between two weapons. Another feature I thought was a good idea was Easy Mode, where you start with a Heavy Machine Gun by default, although you can’t access the Final Mission. It felt like a nice addition for more casual players.

QuackShot Starring Donald Duck for Mega Drive (Sega/1991). Disney games on this system are great and this is no exception. It's one of the best 16-bit games of the type and a standout platformer. It features an Indiana Jones-inspired adventure where Donald travels the globe, uses plungers as weapons, and engages in puzzle-style exploration.

History of The Goonies (Konami / 1986) The Goonies (グーニーズ) is a side-scrolling platformer developed and published by Konami for the Nintendo Famicom (NES) It’s based on the 1985 adventure film The Goonies, released shortly after the movie in Japan on February 21, 1986 It was never officially released on the standard NES cartridge in North America or Europe (unlike its sequel), though it appeared in arcades there as “Vs. The Goonies” with added two-player competitive elements. A Famicom Disk System version followed in 1988 It’s short but replayable, with a chiptune version of Cyndi Lauper’s “The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough” as the main theme
