Turbo OutRun
1989
Arcade Commodore C64/128/MAX ZX Spectrum Sega Mega Drive/Genesis Atari ST/STE DOS FM Towns Amiga Amstrad CPCstar 5.8The sequel to OutRun features similar basic gameplay to the original, with the action viewed from behind the car, and the challenge being to complete each stage within the time limit. Contact can cause the car to spin, slow down or even flip; in each case you will lose time. There are 16 stages set across the US, gradually moving from east to west, all depicted differently visually. After every 4 levels, you go into a shop screen, with a choice of upgrades. As the title implies, you now have a turbo booster installed, which speeds up the car, although over-use can cause the engine to overheat, and it is not recharged until each shop section. You have 5 continues, and failure to complete the course within the time limit costs you one.Tantei Jinguji Saburo: Kiken na Futari

Sekiryuu-ou
1989
An adventure game for the NES published by Sunsoft. It is based on a Japanese manga set during a historical Chinese civil war. Sekiryuou (often translated as "Red Dragon King") is a traditional Famicom adventure game from Sunsoft, in which the player controls a protagonist via a series of menus in order to solve a series of puzzles. Though Sunsoft is credited as publisher, it is unclear if the game was made in-house or contracted to another developer. The game, and the manga it is based on, depict a period of ancient Chinese history between the Qin and Han dynasties, a few decades before the Three Kingdoms era began. As expected of a transitional period, there was plenty of intrigue and conflict leading up to the change of power that future novels and mangas could draw from.Tantei Jinguji Saburo: Kiken na Futari - Kouhen

Tom Sawyer no Bouken
1989
The original Japanese version of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The level order is changed in the English version (perhaps so as not to confuse players by starting with the rafting stage).
