Kunio kun no Nekketsu Soccer League	Technos	1993	Like almost everything Technos has ever made, Kunio Kun Soccer is a tribute to violence. It's a sequel to World Cup Soccer, which is the American bastardization of another Kunio game. Along with all the normal violence you'd come to expect from a Kunio sports game (namely, the ability to beat up other players to gain possession of the ball), this game offers some other interesting features. You have some weather effects, which make things more difficult by adding stuff like wind gusts and lightning strikes (which fry anyone who happens to be standing in a puddle). ALl the weather effects seem to tax the NES, however — thanks to good old slowdown. You also get to strategize, and tell the other players what to do, though most of them will ignore you and run in circles and pass the ball to absolutely no one. It's an alright game, but there's probably much more soccer fun to be had elsewhere. [cjlee001]	NES

To win you need MULEs (Multiple Use Labor Elements), kind of mechanical donkeys which do your dirty work: growing food, mining, and producing energy. MULEs are critical, so you want to get as many as possible as cheaply as possible. And by the way, treachery is acceptable. So use it when needed. Then sit back and enjoy your wealth and power, OH MIGHTY RULER!***4 players take turns managing during their turn. But they simultaneously compete during auctions. [Zerothis]	NES

Selecting 3 or 4 players verses mode can be a bit problematic. In fact, there is no [b]direct[/b] way to specify "[b]X[/b] players". You must select 1 or 2 as the number of trucks first (or just leave it at the default 1). Only then do you have the option of choosing 0 computer players (in a different menu). And only after choosing 0 computer players are you presented with the the ability to choose 3 or 4 trucks back in that menu) AND have all of them player controlled. This is why, despite owning this game for many years, I misidentified it as having a maximum of 2 simultaneous players. [Zerothis]	NES
Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu	Technos	1992	Game description from [[link:http://www.romhacking.net Romhacking.net]]: I've actually been fortunate enough to play this game on cart, with three other people with rahga's amazing four-player adapter. It's a Technos game, which means two things: one, all the characters look like they do in all the other Technos games, and two, it involves these characters beating the hell out of each other. This is why people love Technos games. You can play two-on-two, or a four-player free-for-all, or a variety of other stuff. You play in a smallish arena, and beat each other up, and whoever's left standing wins. Totally fun! When you die you turn into food, which is really weird. So one of the other characters can actually eat your dead hamburger corpse, and gain back some life. The controls are pretty hard to get used to, but once you do you can really kick some ass.

No NES game has gone this far before!* [29]* [27]***NES-WP-USA 1 player, 2 player, or 4 player simultaneous cooperative battles. There is no 3 player option. One of the players is chosen to lead and controls the party outside of battles but any player can interrupt to administrate his own character or cast spells. Apparently a new leader cannot be selected later. The game occurs entirely within one 16 floor dungeon that the party cannot leave. But their are teleporters, "zoom tube" shortcuts, and temples where the party can rest. There are also armories and places to buy things with the gold you find and collect from enemies. The main enemy is the Serpent King that the players must eventually find and kill. Battles are in pauseable real time with players able to fight, flee, or cast spells. There is also the Seven Ruby Treasures to collect. Game progress is saved via a 14 digit password and each character is saved via their own 9 digit passwords. So a complete save requires 5 passwords (50 digits). Players can be a warrior, magician, or thief that is randomly created or everyone can use a pre-generated party. Controls: During battle you press A to attack the middle of the enemy. ↑+A to attack the head of the enemy (the most damaging, if you don't miss). ←+A to attack the right side the enemy (their right, not yours). →+A to attack the left side the enemy (their right, not yours). ↓+A to attack the the enemies legs (each type of enemy has different weakness) Unofficial mapping guide: Locations should be referred to by coordinates starting from the upper left most room of the 1st floor. The horizontal referred to by English alphabet lettering starting with A. The vertical by European numerals starting with 1 (not 0). The floor by Roman numerals starting with I. For clarification, a dash (minus sign) is optionally used to separate the three values instead of a comma, so that commas can be uses to separate multiple sets of coordinates. Thus the upper left (Northwest) corner of the first floor is a1I or a-1-I [spoiler=and;close]the lower right most room of the bottom floor is p16XVI or p-16-XVI[/spoiler]. All text in this game entry should use this system. All coordinates are considered spoilers because the game was designed so that mapping the dungeon is an intended goal. Trivia: The production of this game was apparently plagued with disputes. Brian Fargo, president of Interplay, refused to allow lead designer Paul O'Conner's name to be listed in the credits. The game was revised by Bruce Schlickbernd who refused to be listed as the sole designer since he had merely revised O'Conner's exiting work. Both designers were uncredited (officially). Also, Boris Vallejo was not paid for his cover art. [spoiler=Game Passwords;Close Game Passwords][code]Level 01 QJALS???4UNMR? Level 02 9JATS???4XNMW? Level 03 UJACS???4VNRZ? Level 04 UJ9FS???4SNFX?

J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings Volume One	Interplay	1994	Nope this isn't a misprint. It is not a new game for an old console. This game was for the old LOTR cartoon movie (anyone actually WATCH that??) which was fated to have no sequel. This is NO Neverwinter Nights. It has a very simple interface (TOO simple sometimes) and NO you CAN'T walk around invincible wearing the ring like in some other games. [Garrett]	SNES
