Picture Puzzle is a puzzle game which is very similar to Picross. The goal of the game is to reveal the hidden picture, using the numbers along the sides of the grid to determine how many squares each line and column is to have.
Picture Puzzle has over 200 puzzles which are split into 5×5, 10×10, and 15×15 grids.
There are sixty-four identical game pieces called disks (often spelled “discs”), which are light on one side and dark on the other.
Players take turns placing disks on the board with their assigned color facing up. During a play, any disks of the opponent's color that are in a straight line and bounded by the disk just placed and another disk of the current player's color are turned over to the current player's color.
The objective of the game is to have the majority of disks turned to display one's color when the last playable empty square is filled.
In single-player mode you make your way through Tournament Mode, competing against eight increasingly more difficult opponents. You can take an'Ability Level Test' which is designed to grade you based on your standard of play. If you are just starting out you can try the ‘Reversi Lesson' which provides ten short sessions to teach you the basics of the game.
There's a ‘Free Play' mode where you can see all the moves that are available. And then there is a two-player mode which is accessible via the link cable.
This game features multiple different gameplay elements. The battle system within the game not only has “experience points” but it gives “skill points” to characters so they can learn new abilities.
In the latter half of the game, there's a lottery system that allows rare items, not found anywhere else in the game, to be obtained.
The appraisal system was one of the first alchemy-like interfaces in a game in the 20th century version of Evolution.
Dark Arms features a girl, Meghan Loughlin, whose job is to defeat and contain an outbreak of demons and act as a mediator between this world and the next.
The player can collect the spirits of the various demons and zombies they fight in the game with a gun known as “The Catcher”.
The player-character can then use captured spirits to ‘feed' their weapons and evolve them into more powerful forms. For example, the Handgun evolves into the Sub Shotgun, which can evolve further into the Shotgun.

The player controls a paintbrush and must paint the entire maze in order to advance to the next stage. Two fish–one yellow, the other light-blue–emerge from separate aquariums to pursue the paintbrush around the board, and if either of the fish succeeds in making contact with the paintbrush, the player loses one of three lives.
The player may use two “rollers” to attack the fish. They are located on two overpasses, one vertical in its orientation, the other horizontal. To use them, the player positions the paintbrush on its forward end, waits for either or both of the fish to approach, then pushes the paintbrush along the roller, attacking the fish.
The fish is removed from the maze for a few seconds, then returns to one of the aquariums and resumes its pursuit of the paintbrush. Killing fish in this manner scores bonus points.
The fish initially are dumb, but as time goes on they get “smarter” learning to avoid the roller when the paintbrush nears it, and develop strategies to trap the player between them.
A third character, appearing to be an animal, rolling tire, or invisible man depending on the level, may enter the maze and leave tracks that must be painted over in order for the board to be completed.
The player can limit the damage by running over the figure, which not only stops further tracks from being left but also awards the player a score, which progressively increases as more boards are cleared.
Cool Cool Jam is a
In Cool Cool Jam, your object is to form a band. You can choose between a boy and a girl, and from there on you walk through town, jamming with villagers and ‘Men With Hats.'
If you do well, you get pieces of instruments. To jam, you first have to please people by clapping to a certain tune.
Each instrument requires you to hold your NGP in a different position, and the controls are different for each instrument. To play the guitar, for example, you have to hold your NGP upside-down. The strings are controlled with the two buttons, and you pull them with the joystick. You have to pluck the strings when the matching color reaches the respective string's end.
Biomotor Unitron is a “dungeon crawler” RPG with pseudorandom dungeons. The player controls a robot called a Unitron, and walks through the dungeons fighting battles to earn money and experience. The experience boosts stats for the player character, and their “control” of the Unitron, but not the Unitron itself. There is rather a system of parts upgrades. The upgraded parts can be purchased, or “developed” using existing items, “tools”, and “materials”.
The game has a fairly standard HP system. Instead of MP, there is EP, and EP is consumed with every action in battle. EP regenerates with every battle. In the game, there are initially four dungeons and a town. Each of the four dungeons that are initially available, has elemental affinity, and seven floors.
Each dungeon's layout, rather than being truly random, is selected from multiple preprogrammed layouts. The town is menu-driven, with access to “Works”, where you equip parts, develop parts, and save data.
There is also a shop, and there are multiple areas you can visit to talk to the townspeople. Some of the townspeople provide stat boosts, or will sell items to you. Finally, there is an arena in town, where you can fight other Unitrons for money, prizes, and many levels of advancing rank. The game has two main goals.
The first goal is to build your Unitron up as much as possible. The second, is to clear the first four elemental affinity dungeons, and then clear the final dungeon, finishing the game.
Several characters in the game are based on WWE pro wrestlers but no official WWE characters featured in this game.
Attacks are limited to the A and B buttons on the Neo Geo Pocket.
The A button is used for physical attacks and grappling.
The B button is for various actions such as getting out of the ring, mounting the turnbuckle, taunts, climbing, and pinning an opponent.
When a character's name is flashing, pressing both buttons at once will perform their special attack. Each character has their own unique move to distinguish them from each other.
A pretty standard baseball game
Baseball stars is a solid game of portable baseball with no frills. There are no licensed franchises or real players. The teams can be easily broken down into various categories, there are speedy teams, good pitching teams, good hitting teams, and the normal balanced and unbalanced teams.
If you like sports games, you will probably like this although it can be tricky to get used to.
