8.7/10on IGDB

Neo Turf Masters (1996)
8.0/10on IGDB
Released
Choose a golfer, then give the course your full attention. The six golfers have different strengths, so a different pick can change which shots feel comfortable.

Twinkle Star Sprites (1996)
6.7/10on IGDB
Released
A good chain in this shooter is a problem for the person next to you. Blowing up incoming enemies can send attackers across to the other playfield, so the shots you line up affect both sides. It’s the pick for two players who enjoy watching a small advantage grow into a mess.

Bust-A-Move Again (1995)
Released
Use the wall to reach bubbles a straight shot can’t touch, then see what a Star Bubble or Metal Bubble does to the board.
