When Konami releases a game you can be sure that (a) it's
going to be good and (b) it just might be another classic. Ten minutes after
starting to play Rocket Knight Adventures and you'll be sure to know where this
one is headed. As a Rocket Knight it's up to you to save the kingdom from some
evil pigs that invades and tries to run the show. Having kidnapped the princess
you are the only hope for her rescue and with your jet backpack and sword no
pigs are going to stand in your way.

Cool Spot (Virgin Games 1993)
When
companies start using their mascots for games it's usually a good idea to steer
clear. This time round though somebody actually put the game first and the
product placement second, resulting in a very good game. What's even stranger
is the fact that the starring mascot is none other than that small red spot on
the 7-up bottle. This isn't really his first game but since the original NES
game was such a hideous product it's best to forget about that and move on.

Blades Of Vengeance (Beam Software 1993)
It seems that a certain dragon called Manaxa has gotten some
delusions of grandeur and took over your peaceful city. Infesting the place
will all kinds of evil creatures and stripping your master of his power, it's
now up to you bring peace to the world by stopping the foul creature. You can
take your pick from a feisty female warrior, muscle bound knight and small but powerful
wizard. Best of all you can hook up with a friend and take on the baddies as a
due.
Aladdin (Virgin Interactive 1993)
Aladdin is the game based upon the classic Disney film of
the same name. In it you play the role of a young thief named Aladdin. An evil
wizard named Jaffar has found a secret cave filled with vast treasures

finding the magic lamp for him, but Aladdin discovers the nature of the lamp
and tries to stop the evil Jaffar. Along the way he also finds time to fall in
