SKYBLAZER for the SNES (Sony Imagesoft/1994) is an action-platformer with excellent 16-bit graphics. Praised as a hidden gem, the game features fast-paced combat, wall-climbing and magic abilities. It's heavily based on Hindu mythology, though these elements were slightly altered for the Western release.

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.

Castlevania, known in Japan as Akumajō Dracula, turns 40 this year. It was released in 1986 for the Famicom Disk System (or NES outside of Japan). I found this game to be both highly addictive, super tough and - at times - frustrating. What can't be denied is its cult status and longevity, with the latest title of the series (Haunted Castle Revisited) being published in 2024. A brilliant platformer, if you had the skills (which I didn't). Note: Video edit is the 1987 NES version, which came after the original 1986 Famicon debut.

I love what's possible these days, where this indie developer is making an action platformer based on a 90s anime. It looks amazing and the fact that it's a video game is amazing! This is Samurai Pizza Cats: Blast from the Past!, definitely one to watch

MAGICAL POP'N for #SNES/SFC (Polestar/Pack-in-Video/1995) Nice action platformer released only in Japan, a hidden gem. Producers also published the famous Harvest Moon. Got mixed reviews back then because it's a big game lacking a save feature. #マジカルポップン #SNESFriday #2D

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. ⚡

Batman: The Video Game for the NES (Sunsoft/1989) is considered a masterpiece and one of the best action platformers on the console. Loosely based on the 1989 film, it has 5 stages featuring solid level design, fluid controls, challenging gameplay and a legendary 8-bit soundtrack. The Game Boy release has the same title but it's a different game.

ATMOSFEAR for the SNES (Beam Software/Activision, 1993/94) Unreleased game based on the board game of the same name. Probably around 80-85% completed, it has nice visuals, sound and atmosphere, but the gameplay is questionable (weak main attack). #SNESFriday #gamedev #lostmedia

We've been very busy working on the turn based combat engine for Former Dawn, an upcoming #RPG for the PC and NES! Watch the whole video; there's a lot going on! Yes, all of this is legal on the NES. No, this is not a mockup. This is our actual game engine! #nesdev #pixelart

RUN SABER for the SNES (Horisoft/Atlus/1993) has this cool scene where you hang on an 'infected' F-16, very over the top. The game is an homage to Capcom’s Strider, featuring fluid controls, neat visuals, and two-player co-op. It's an SNES exclusive title and often featured in 'hidden gem' lists.
