Skate or Die: Bad 'n Rad Konami;Palcom (Konami)1990Think you're down 'n dirty enough to rule the streets? Nothing in your wildest dreams or most hideous nightmares can compare to this seven level skin-blistering thrash-o-rama sponsored by that Crown Prince of Rock 'N Destruction - ElRad the Evil One. From the second you hyper-skate into ElRad's wide world of wipe-outs you'll be pushed to the outer limits by his ruthless band of skateboard freaks. Punishing pals like the Sonic Boomer, the Cool Cat-Eating Rats and the Berserk Not-So-Happy Clown will crash your board and bust your every move. You'll be the bait of a fiendish feeding frenzy. And to escape the jaws of death you must outjump Fang Master Flash the Leaping Lizard, zip and duck past oozing mounds of nuclear mud, and wail and assail in Attack Copter Alley. Until you ultimately cruise where no dude has cruised before - the hyper-intense Rampage Stage. Needless to say, the flesh will be flying***

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening  Nintendo (Nintendo EAD)1993A Game Boy fantasy adventure like no other!

Nintendo's fantasy adventure hero, Link of Hyrule, returns in this new epic quest...Link's Awakening. Link's newest challenge is set on the mysterious Koholint Island, a place where dreams and reality collide. As a castaway, Link must find a way to escape from the island and return to his beloved homeland of Hyrule.

But it won't be as easy as chartering a boat. The island's inhabitants have no knowledge of the outside world. One creature, a talking Owl, may know the solution to Link's dilemma, but first Link must tackle eight dungeons full of treacherous monsters and tricky traps. His goal: find the eight Instruments of the Sirens and awaken the omnipotent Wind Fish which rules the island.

Link will battle new enemies and make new friends in one of the most in-depth fantasy adventure for Game Boy yet!

A battery-packed memory will save up to three games so you never have to start your journey empty-handed.***[b]Version variations[/b]: in the Japanese and most other versions the anthropomorphic hippo model in Animal Village appears to have breasts which she covers up with a towel. In the North American version the sprite was redrawn without breasts or towel. In the North American version the item that the mermaid has lost was also changed from bikini top to necklace.
There are other minor differences, too, see source for details.***[b]Easter eggs[/b]: when entering [i]ZELDA[/i] as the protagonist's name (ぜるだ in the Japanese Version), a version of Zelda's theme starts playing. Another tune is also available in some versions of the game. It is accessed by entering the name とたけけ in the Japanese version, [i]LOLO[/i] in the French version and [i]MOYSE[/i] (the last name of the translator) in the German version. It is not possible to hear this song in the US version.***Link's Awakening was the first game in the Legend of Zelda series that had
* a trade sequence,
* a fishing mini-game,
* individual music for each dungeon.

It was also the first game that took place outside of Hyrule.***

[27]***This is the first Zelda game to feature humans. Though their presence in the Zelda universe was implied in the Manual for Link to the Past.
[Zerothis]***"The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening" resembles the feel and control of Zelda III for the SNES. Playing as Link, you must collect all 8 instruments to wake the Wind Fish. There are a variety of items and weapons, and yes, the dungeons are still as challenging as ever!
