New contest starting September 1, 2010. Get a head start.
Read the Game Club Challenge Rules.

American Football, the intense game where muscle, brains, and passion collide. Whether playing yourself, or just watching others, you can't help but get into the 10-yard fight!

Offense tries to advance as far as they can towards the goal line. However, defense is ready to stop you with as many as 183 starting formations and as many as 133,407 plays they're trying to get yardage and win the game too! Size up each play slyly, yet quickly, and make a charge for the goal line! The game gradually gets harder as you get better. You start playing high school, then college, then pro, then play off, and finally Super Bowl level football.

Come up with game-winning strategies and nice moves for both offense and defense. So get on the gridiron and fight, fight, fight!

You are the Daring Super Ace and are engaged in realistic, thrilling, and challenging high flying battles with the enemy. You must control Super Ace over land, sea, and in the air through 32 different scenes. To win you must reach Tokyo and destroy the remaining enemy aircraft.

If you can destroy a complete attacking RED FORMATION you will gain additional power. A POW will appear on the screen after their defeat and you must fly over the POW to gain additional power. When enemy shots hit Super Ace; you lose one plane. If Super Ace hits one of the secret enemy bombers a pinwheel will appear on the screen and you will get an additional 5,000 points when you fly over it. Don't forget when there are too many enemy aircraft you can "Loop the Loop."

In 1943, our main fleet began an intense battle off the coast of Midway Islands.

Help our fleet defeat the enemy.

The NES version varies from the arcade version somewhat, introducing the gradual improvement of the player's plane by several "augmenting" power-ups that never go away. These include the plane's offensive and defensive powers, the energy level, its special weapons and their durations. This somewhat alters the game balance and a different tactic is required to survive the game. For example, initially very few weapons are made available; more can be attained from power-ups by putting statistic points into "special weapons ability". Likewise, there are statistics for offensive ability, defensive ability, total energy, and special weapon time limit. The statistics modify the rates of change for the energy reserve, damage inflicted, and special weapon time limit.

Hack of 1943 with turbo fire.

After hundreds of years of chaos, mankind has finally emerged from the ruins of nuclear war. This world of the distant future has once again flourished under the guidance of the Great King, who harnessed the power of the 8 Eyes to rebuild the planet.

These strange jewels of power were formed at the eyes, or centers, of the eight nuclear explosions which nearly destroyed the Earth. In the wrong hands, the 8 Eyes could cause untold destruction... and now, they have been seized by the Great King's eight Dukes, in a desperate bid to gain control of the world for themselves. They have banished the King to the nuclear wastelands, and already their squabbling threatens to plunge the world into war once again!

You must succeed to save the Universe and rescue Princess Maria!

Prepare to blast off! Your Mission begins!

The game is set in Krynn, world of the Dragonlance saga, during the War of the Lance. DragonStrike combined elements of computer role-playing games and flight simulators. The player character is a knight who flies on the back of a metallic dragon equipped with a lance and various magic items (among other things a magic orb that acts as a radar in the game). The player's dragon can use its recharging magical breath to attack and can also attack with its claws if the dragon passes closely above enemies. Opponents in the game include evil dragons with and without riders and other flying monsters such as manticores and beholders. Flying too close to the ground is another hazard for the player as enemy archers are present in some areas.

Completing successful missions provides the character with more hit points and the opportunity to obtain a more powerful dragon. Depending on what dragon the player chooses (between a bronze, a silver and a gold dragon) the ending and missions become slightly different. Critically, it was a failure.

The game is based on the first Dragonlance campaign module, Dragons of Despair, and the first Dragonlance novel Dragons of Autumn Twilight. It focuses on the journey of eight heroes through the ruined city of Xak Tsaroth, where they must face the ancient dragon Khisanth and retrieve the relic, Disks of Mishakal.

While Heroes of the Lance is a faithful representation of the books it is based on, it was a departure from the usual RPG style of most Dungeons & Dragons games, and many players lamented its difficult game play interface which consists of using one character at a time in horizontally-scrolling fighting. Each character has different types of attacks and spells making them more suited to fighting different enemies but they merely act as "lives" for the player as in more traditional fighting games, removing one of the main strategies of role-playing games from the game.

To play Advanced Dungeons and Dragons: Hillsfar. one simply needs to create characters and form a party. While this game is an RPG, the gameplay differs for the previous games such as Pool of Radiance & Curse of the Azure Bonds. Hillsfar features some of the RPG features as the previous games listed above, this game also features arcade like mini-games, action/adventure games, et al. Characters can also be transferred from Pool of Radiance & Curse of the Azure Bonds.

Advanced Dungeons and Dragons: Pool of Radiance is a role-playing game that was first released in 1988 for the computer, under the name of Pool of Radiance, and ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992. It utilized the Gold Box engine introduced by its 1988 version and later improved upon in Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures. The game (and the engine) features two different modes: first person perspective for NPC interactions and exploring and a more strategy-board based combat display, where characters and enemies are represented by small icons. Combat is turn-based and requires maneuvering close to your foe for close range attacks.

The Addams Family is a platform game based on the characters and settings from the movie (which, in turn, is based on the famous 1960's television series).

The game takes place towards the end of the movie: the Addams Family has been evicted from their home by a court order issued by a backstabbing attorney (there's one for the books), Tully Alford. Even worse, the other Addamses: Morticia, Pugsley, Wednesday, Granny and Lurch have gone missing.

As Gomez, you must tour the Addams mansion in search of your lost family, battling out mysterious monsters and evading traps, and eventually face your nemesis, Tully.

The game is a side scrolling platformer adventure game that is very similar to the original Addams Family SNES title. A major source of criticism for the SNES version was the lack of a password feature. A password feature is present on both the NES and Game Boy versions.

The plot of Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt centered around Pugsley's attempts to win a scavenger hunt challenge proposed by his sister, Wednesday. His hunt takes him to the bedrooms of each member of the Addams family in order to find one item from each.

In the South Pacific, Master Higgins lives peacefully wearing only a grass skirt and a cap. That is until the Evil Witch Doctor decides to capture the Princess Leilani and hold her as his own. It's up to Master Higgins to gather throwing axes, fireballs and skateboards in order to aid his noble quest.

The game is a side scroller, Master Higgins moves across the screen from left to right and finds his power-ups in giant eggs. Bosses await him at the end of levels, all the way to the Evil Witch Doctor himself.

Well, that Evil Witch Doctor refuses to give up! Princess Leilani may be safe, but her sister, Tina, has just been nabbed. And this time you've got real trouble. Because not one, but EIGHT perilous islands stand between you and your honey. Get set to battle dinosaurs, survive avalanches and out fight the Evil Doctor's nastiest ghouls. It'll be tough, that's for sure. So just remember sweet Tina, and how grateful she'll be when you come to her rescue!"

You can go through this adventure with 4 dinosaur friends, or you can ride a skateboard. As in the first Adventure Island you 'll have to collect fruit to survive.

The third game in the Adventure Island series, and again you help Master Higgins save his girlfriend Tina who has been captured by aliens. She's stranded somewhere on one of eight islands and you must find her. But be careful - each island is guarded by an enormous creature that's very hungry!

Fortunately, you have a little help. There are five kinds of friendly dinosaurs waiting to give you a lift. They're stuck in eggs that you'll need to crack open!

Hidden eggs are scattered all over the islands. By finding and breaking them open, you might get a bonus, or even a secret way to the next island! Just don't eat the eggplant...

So hop on one of your dinosaur pals, and ride your way to Tina's rescue!

You're on the island for a fourth adventure. Take Master Higgins around the island and save his dinosaur friends from a mysterious floating face.

This game is not like the first three installments in that there is not a scoring system involved. This game has more items to find to assist you in completing your quest.

The game puts the player in the main character role. Goofy left the golden key for the castle gate inside, and Mickey Mouse asks your help to find six silver keys needed to open the Disney castle gate. This will allow the Disney parade to begin. The player must then go through five different stages, modeled after rides in Disneyland and Magic Kingdom, as well as talk to people in the park to in order to retrieve the keys. When you've completed all six tasks you can just walk to the castle gate, Mickey will congratulate you and the parade will begin.

NOTE: Captain Comic is the most popular name for this game, but on the title screen and in the manual it is called "The Adventures of Captain Comic" and on the manual cover and the cartridge itself is called "Captain Comic The Adventure."

The elders of Osmic had come in full regalia, feathers and banners and the heavy gold chains of office, bet the formal procession of leaders had not carried the hereditary badges of office - the Crown of the Ages, the Mystical Gems of Lascorbanos of the Thousand Coins of Tenure. These had been stolen, most wickedly purloined, in an attempt to jeopardize the forthcoming festivities of the Trimillenial and were now reputedly hidden on the planet Tambi.

So they came to you - Captain Comic, galactic hero, righter of wrongs, and all around nice guy. It was most gratifying-ignore the rumor that they had first gone to Orion O'Brian, that mercenary thug, and he had turned them down, calling the job "insanely dangerous" and saying the entire planet of Tambi, from its endless blue lakes to its impossibly blue moon, had not one cubic centimeter where a person could feel safe - nor a single benign life form. Tambi was a land of surprises - all bad.

Well, you're on the job now. Using your keen wits and well-honed reflexes, you must traverse the ever-changing and treacherous environs of Tambi and return the treasures of Osmic in time for the Trimillenial celebrations. Succeed, and you will be honored as a hero once more; fail, and three thousand years of galactic peace and prosperity crumble to comic - uh - cosmic trust.

Life is hard for Dino-Riki, a kid growing up with the dinosaurs. Dino-Riki can jump or shoot weapons (fireballs, axes, boomerangs, and a superfire spread-shot) to kill the various enemies around him. He progresses through three types of worlds (land, ruined city, and mountains) and plays through four worlds total. Worlds one, two, and three are one stage each and have checkpoints, but world four is four stages with no checkpoints. At the end of each stage, Dino Riki must face a boss.

Adventures of Lolo takes place in the country of Eden, where the Great Devils Evil Empire is wreaking havoc once again. Princess Lala leaves to seek help from Lolo, and on the way back to Eden, King Egger himself appears to kidnap Lala right in front of Lolo. In order to save Lala and the country of Eden, Lolo arrives at the Castle of Egger and makes his way through the ten floors to rescue the lovely princess.

Our heroic pair are at it again! On their return from the Haunted Castle (successfully defeated in the original Adventures of Lolo) our Hero and Heroine were confronted by the real power of the land - the King of Eggerland himself. Swooping down on our victorious couple, the King thundered, "The Labyrinth was only a preliminary test - the real battle starts now! If you can make it through my Tower and my Castle, I will set your people free. But just make sure there are no tricks - this little one comes with me!" And with that he grabbed little Lala and spirited her away to his Castle in the clouds. But, fortunately, Lala was able to analyze each of the mazes as she was aken through the Tower, and left clues in Jewel Boxes in each room. Each Jewel that Lolo collects contains a bt of information tat will help him in the next room. With your help, they will work together to free their people from the clutches of the King.

Lolo, Lala, and their friends have lived peacefully for manyyears, ever since the defeat of the Great Devil (in The Adventures of Lolo 2). But suddenly his son and heir, the new King of Eggerland, launched a hollow capsule filled with a strange potion that turns the inhabitants of Lolo and Lala's tiny kingdom to stone. Only Lolo and Lala, basking in the sun at the edge of the lake between the tw kingdoms, were spared this horrible fate. Brave in the face of adversity, our hero and heroine set out together to defeat the evil King and cast off his spell. Only you can help our brave pair now.....

But the weirdest world of all awaits where gravity has gone wild-- on the upside down sphere of Turvia! And this is but a fraction of the fate to be found in-- The Adventures of Rad Gravity!

The game consists of seven levels that take you through various locales: A Swiss Alps-style mountain, a cavern, a mine, a submarine, a haunted ship, a port town, and a castle. Mini-games were available at certain points that allowed you to collect extra lives. These mini-games were Peabody and Sherman, where you controlled Sherman and blew bubble gum bubbles to clog a dragon's mouth, and Dudley Do-Right, where you rode a horse and avoided an ever-approaching train which was driven by Snidely Whiplash.

From the outside, Airwolf looks like a sophisticated executive helicopter. Slick. Self-contained. Harmless. Which means it can slip in and out of airports without causing much suspicion.

But from the inside, its true military strength is revealed; walls of computerized controls, a satellite tracking system for locating enemies and allies, and a weapons guidance system for launching missiles and firing machine guns.

The player takes the role of a chicken named Alfred who must find his way through bizarre levels full of balloons, telephones, cheese and other strange elements. While he is on the ground, Alfred can walk, jump, and peck balloons and ground switches. While he is in the air he can dive bomb enemies or springs. Dive bombing enemies will destroy them. Dive bombing springs will bounce Alfred much higher so he can reach platforms well above his normal jumping ability. If he does not hit an enemy or a spring, Alfred will get stuck in the ground for a short time.

To complete a level, Alfred must find and peck all the balloons. The last balloon will take him to a boss fight. If Alfred dies, he starts as an egg located at the last balloon pecked.

Alfred can receive a few power ups during the game. For one power up, he must answer a telephone in secret areas to make a giant flower give him a pot of jam. The jam gives Alfred the ability to shoot a bomb (about the size of Alfred himself) which bounces around the screen collecting things and hurting enemies. Another power up is a worm that spins around Alfred destroying enemies that it touches. You must find a can of worms to get this power up.

Alien 3 is video game based on the movie sequel of the same name. The plot of the movie picks up directly after the end of Aliens. Ellen Ripley, the main character of the Alien series, is in cryo-sleep aboard the space ship Sulaco. Unfortunately, an alien or two has stowed away on the Sulaco, and wreaked havoc within the ship. Thus, it crash lands on the prison colony planet Fiorina 161. Ripley and the unarmed prisoners have to figure out a way to survive the alien who terrorizing the colony until help arrives.

The year is 2089 of the Galactic Calendar. In this far-flung future, humans have colonized the outer planets.

Each of these vessels houses countless numbers of slimy monsters led by a vicious alien "boss". Having miraculously escaped capture, you must go from ship to ship in a valiant effort to save your fellow humans.

Video round ball seems to come in a variety of court sizes and player numbers. All-Pro Basketball combines five-on-five full-court action with a half-court screen view.

All-Pro style B-ball features several different play options. Go head-to-head with a friend in a one-game contest. Or, watch two computer teams battle it out on court. If you choose league competition your task is to lead your team to the league championship. In Two Player league play you and a buddy team up to battle the computer teams. Choose your squad from eight professional rosters - ranging from the New York Slicks to the San Francisco Bayriders. Each team has their own strengths and weaknesses.

When the scene is set, the game begins with a jump ball and then it's non-stop no-holds-barred B-ball. On offense you're the team - running, jumping, jump passing, shooting, and even going for three pointers or slam dunks. On defense make a steal or grab a rebound. And remember this is real video basketball. You get called for fouls and your teammates get tired. When their health and stamina get low it's up to you to put them on the bench for a rest.

You must pilot the fighter ship SYD against the deadly fleet of the Seven Stars Alliance. The fate of Earth rests in your hands!

Converted from the popular Sega arcade game.

Destroy all enemies to rescue the fair maiden. Your powers increase when you destroy certain enemies and take their energy; once you achieve a certain energy level, you can alter your shape into that of a beast, with additional abilities. At the end of each level is a "boss" monster that you must defeat to travel to the next area.

In the game, players take the role of Amagon, a Marine who is trapped on an island after his plane crashed. Inconveniently, his rescue ship is on the other side of the island, hence Amagon is forced to attempt to cross it. Along the way, he encounters a variety of enemies which he can dispose of with his machine gun. Amagon also has the ability to transform in to a larger, stronger version of himself (called "Megagon") similar to the Incredible Hulk. When transformed, Megagon can take multiple hits of damage but doesn't have access to his machine gun. He can fire waves of energy from his chest, but it lessens his hit points.

As in the real show, the player use their strength and stamina in order to confront their opponents and the American Gladiators. Players must navigate through the Assault, Powerball, The Wall, and Joust over a course of four increasingly difficult skill levels. If you succeed against all difficulty levels (and odds), you will face the Eliminator. When you defeat the Eliminator, you have achieved the ultimate victory.

As a penguin, you must travel around Antarctica, making your way between bases before time runs out. This sounds easy, right? Wrong. Hindering your progress will be ice crevices and leopard seals. You can jump over the crevices, but jumping over the leopard seals may be difficult. You can speed up or slow down the penguin to avoid both of these hazards. The bases include Australia, France, New Zealand, USA, Argentina, UK, and Japan. You can collect flags and eat fish for points. Collecting a flashing flag will allow you to wear a propeller that enable you to fly over those hazards.

The game play is similar to that of a board game, like Pictionary. Either playing as a pair of women's shoes, a horn, an ice cream cone, or a Teddy bear, the game slowly draws a picture and the first person to buzz in and guess the correct answer moves forward on the game board. The number of spaces the player moves depends upon the number on the die, which counts down from 6 as the picture is drawn. Once a player correctly identifies a drawing for each of the four categories on a level, that player literally rises to the next-higher level. On the Easy and Medium difficulty levels, the first player to complete the third level wins the game. On the Hard and Very Hard difficulty levels, the first player to complete all four levels wins. The fourth level is identical to the third, except that some of the spaces are removed, and if a player lands on one of the removed spaces, the player falls back down to the third level.

A full game consists of four quarters, with four minutes each. Each team has two players, and the objective of the game is to outscore the opponent until the final buzzer sounds.

If the game results in a tie after four quarters, a sudden death overtime period is added, in which case the next basket to go in will win the game for the team who scored it. The overtime period is one minute long. A player can call for his teammate to pass him the ball or to shoot it.

There are eight characters that the player can play as, each with a unique characteristic. They are:

*Blade: A crowd pleaser
*Hammer: Rebound king
*Lewis: Top shooter
*Mohawk: Tough & mean
*Moose: A real champ
*Reggie: All-American
*Tyrone: Defensive giant
*Vinnie: A great player

This is basically like the Sims, minus the annoying people. Here's the deal, you have a blank area where you will build your masterpiece. There are three styles of buildings:European - a barn like building, mostly wooden. Asian - the classic multi-roofed temple building. Modern - Similar to European but with stone.To begin building, select a part of a building from the bottom of the screen and copy it onto your what once was blank area. Take bits and pieces from the bottom until your satisfied with your building. After that, begin adding roadways and foliage until your hearts content.

While the pieces on the board have similar relative abilities to the different pieces in chess, when one piece attempts to take another, the removal of the targeted piece is not automatic. Instead, the two pieces are placed into a full-screen 'combat arena' and must battle to determine who takes the square.

Generally (but not always) in combat, a stronger piece will succeed over a weaker piece in either defending or capturing a square. It is also possible for the fight to result in a double-kill, in which both pieces are eliminated. This uncertainty adds a level of complexity into the game, since it is not always possible to predict if taking a square will be successful.

Each character's strength is also affected by the colour of the square on which the combat occurs and by a light-and-dark cycle on the 'neutral' squares, indicated by the changing colour of the board. The 'light' side is stronger on the white squares and during the light cycle, and the 'dark' side is stronger on the dark squares and during the dark cycle.

Different pieces have different abilities in the combat phase. These include movement, life, and weapon effectiveness. The weapons vary by reach and the amount of damage inflicted on an opponent. For example, the pawn (represented by knights on the 'light' side and goblins on the 'dark' side) moves quickly, but has very little strength; its weapon, a sword or club, has limited reach and power. A dragon is considerably faster and can fire a powerful projectile blast, while a golem moves slowly and fires a slow but powerful boulder.

Arctic is an ARPG-"Action Rail Playing Game". You must control the traffic of colored balls through a system of railways by operating switches. These switches are what will guide the balls to there final stop - which is marked with the same color as the corresponding ball. It gets tricky sometimes so coordination is key. Let the Rail Playing Games Begin!

Argus is a standard vertical shooting game like Raptor or Tyrian; this game bears a strong resemblance to Terra Cresta, an arcade game. There is no story, this game is a straight arcade-action shooter.

The game scrolls upward as waves of enemies attempt to impede your progress, shooting slow and fast moving bullets at your ship. Armed with air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, blast your way forward while looking for bonuses. Crudely drawn buildings must be shot or avoided since it is possible to crash into them. While moving forward the game allows your ship to move as far left or right as necessary. Finally, at the end of each level you will have to destroy a large enemy.

The player controls a small pad, known as the "vaus" space vessel, which prevents a ball from falling from the playing field, attempting to bounce it against a number of bricks. The ball striking a brick causes the brick to disappear. When all the bricks are gone, the player goes to the next level, where another pattern of bricks appear. There are a number of variations (bricks that have to be hit multiple times, flying enemy ships, etc.) and power-up capsules to enhance the vaus (expand your vaus, multiply the number of balls, equip a laser cannon, break directly to the next level), but the main game play remains the same.

At round 33, the final stage, the player will take on the game's boss, "Doh". Once a player reaches round 33, he must defeat Doh with his remaining number of vauses in reserve; if not: game over. In other words, there are no continues on the final round.

A long period of time has passed....and the dimension-controlling force "Doh" has again come back to life.

Occupying the huge space ship "Xorg", it has entered our universe from a different dimension.

"Mixtec" arkanoid type space ship has launched the craft "Vaus 2" to make a preemptive attack on "Xorg"....

Similar to the original but with more power-ups and harder puzzle to break through.

An evil character named Shogun has stolen the Elven ring of Arkista, and in so doing has plunged the whole Elf kingdom into darkness. All the elves hope lies in one elf warrior named Christine. Equipped in the beginning with only a bow, she proceeds to find the ring and restore her home back to normal.

This is a game that may be compared to The Legend of Zelda, though more linear in it's game play. The game is broken down into many stages, the goal of each being to simply find a way into the next stage. Playing out in puzzle fashion, you will shoot all the enemies on screen, earn the hidden key, and find the correct exit. Defeated enemies will randomly drop bonuses that can be collected; these items include health restore, increased armor, and weapon improvements.

Beating the entire game requires successful progression through 125 stages.

Astro Robo Sasa is an arcade video game made for the Nintendo NES in 1985. The game involved obtaining capsules with an 'E' on them, sometimes suspended by balloons. The main character could only use bullets to propel himself, and when the bullet count reaches 0, the game ends. A player can also lose bullets by colliding with an enemy, the other player, or the other player's bullets.
