NBA Jam
Bomberman 2
Mortal Kombat 2
Sensible Soccer (until you work out how to score from the half-way line)
Legend of Kage was dope but i remember it being hard as F*ck. Did any of you actually beat it?
Nope
After maybe three or four levels, it started moving too quickly. The villains in that game reminded me a lot of the guys from Big Trouble in Little China and the characters could jump so high -- just a very cool game.
