Pieces (SNES)

The player can face either a computer or up to five human players. The computer players come at three difficulty levels (easy, normal, or hard) and feature a wide array of opponents, such as a crab made out of a rice bowl and a beautiful laughing mermaid. A few puzzles must be solved before the opponent's puzzle is solved. If the player is quick enough, items will appear. These can do anything from guiding the puzzle pieces to freezing the opponent.

Ant, who can move certain dominoes by carrying them one at a time.

Ardy Lightfoot (SNES)

Ardy Lightfoot is an anthropomorphic fox. He is accompanied by his best friend, a blue creature named Pec, who can be used as a weapon, or can take the role of various other helpful devices like a hot air balloon or rock wall destroyer. If Ardy is hit by an enemy, Pec will disappear, and can only be retrieved by finding a chest. If Ardy is without his best friend, he can still attack by bouncing on his tail. He can also protect himself temporarily by hiding behind a clear mirror.

In the story of the game, the sacred rainbow has shattered into seven crystal pieces, and it is up to Ardy to obtain them all. Whoever collects all seven crystal pieces will receive a wish. The evil King Visconti has already gotten one crystal piece, and he is searching for the other pieces. To this end he sends out his followers including Beecroft, Catry and many others. Ardy is assisted by friends along the way, like the unnamed elder, Nina, and a mysterious adventurer named Don Jacoby.

Go Go Ackman 2 (SNES)

Go Go Ackman 2 is mostly the same as its predecessor , with a few small tweaks. The angel Tenshi is still determined to end Ackman's nefarious ways, and this time he has enlisted the help of the angelic rock band Metal Angel. Ackman still murders at whim and has his companion Godon collect the souls of his slain, but this time Ackman can keep the weapons he finds, either sword, boomerang, or gun. Each weapon can be upgraded twice, but upgrades will be lost if Ackman is hit or finds a new weapon. Ackman can also now throw smaller enemies, although he can't move while holding them.

Go Go Ackman (SNES)

Ackman wakes from a 50-year nap to gather souls for his Master. With him is Godon, a small red demon who carries a jar for collecting souls. Standing in the way of Ackman is Tenshi, an angel who loathes Ackman, and Michaela, the ‘Great Angel’ and Superior of Tenshi. Of the two (Tenshi and Michaela), Tenshi is the primary antagonist, and he frequently hires or enlists goons (Bosses) to take out Ackman. Interestingly, the ‘angels’ are anything but ‘good’ or ‘pure,’ and are depicted as dastardly and scheming! So fear not if you happen to be thinking, “A game where I have to fight angels? I don’t know…” These guys are ‘angels’ in name only ! And the ‘souls’ Ackman collects are only from the goons of Tenshi, who were up to no good in any event.
