Nitro Ball
1992
Holy hell is Nitro Ball a blast to play! Data East took the balls-to-the-walls action of such titles like MERCS and Ikari Warriors and combined it with pinball, of all things. What's so incredible is that it works marvelously, and everything that makes both genres so much fun individually are seamlessly integrated. For instance, shooting foes can knock them into bumpers or special bonus targets, which earn you power ups and a ton of points. Each of the five stages has a cool theme, like zombies and space aliens, and mimics the length of a pinball field, with a big and nasty boss at the end. This is perhaps the only negative thing to be said about Nitro Ball: it's too short. The meager selection of play fields, while impressive and fun, are nowhere near enough, and you're left wanting more.Burglar X

Burglar X is an arcade beat-'em up with puzzle elements. The player can move with 8-way joystick and control 3 buttons - one to hit, another to fart (toxic gas from your butt) and another to launch timed bombs. The objective of the game is to destroy enemies, collect objects & power-ups, solve puzzles and defeat the final bosses. We lose a life when we lose one of the three hearts with which we begin. We can choose a male (Gukjung) character who strikes with his head and a female (Guksoon) who strikes with a mallet.Choky! Choky!

A shooter like many others. Shoot planes, tanks and a train. Very large bosses at the end of each level. Many power-ups like smartbombs, missiles and lasers. There is also some speech in the game.Zunzunkyou No Yabou

ZnY is basically Parodius meets Space Invaders (a premise also done by Taito themselves with Space Invaders '95: Attack of the Lunar Loonies), except you control a statue instead of a spaceship and you fight within an enclosed arena instead of vertical space. It would be more akin to an arena shooter like Robotron: 2084, except your statue can only shoot straight upward. The stages themselves all seem to be themed around different parts of the world: The kabuki boss on the far-left represents Japan, the chef represents China and mainland Asia, the crusader knight stands for Europe, and the superhero on the far-right stands for America. Yet even outside of the Japanese stages, there's a distinctly goofy flair about the game that emphasizes screwy cultural stereotypes from a Japanese game company. The game's actual developer, Minato Giken, also helped work on the Game Gear version of Dynamite Headdy, one of the most fantastically insane Genesis platformers ever, and that same sort of unhinged design can also be seenWater Ski
