Osman, also known as Cannon Dancer, is an unofficial sequel to Strider, developed by the same team and released by Mitchell Corporation in 1996. Its cyberpunk neo-Arabic/Persian flair and a bizarre story make it distinct from the game that inspired it.
Help return giant pieces of land stolen by Baron Aloha as Agent Robbit.
Exact's Geograph Seal, released for the Sharp X68000 computer in 1994, is a precursor to Jumping Flash! Rendered in 3D polygons, it was the earliest first-person shooter with platforming mechanics. It also allowed the player to aim the weapon, and took place in free-roaming outdoor environments rather than the corridor labyrinths of contemporary FPS games like Doom.
Sega's 8-bit hardware received a unique game in the Ninja Gaiden series. It has similar gameplay to the NES trilogy, but is an all-new game, with a new story, different levels, and new gameplay mechanics, including a new wall-to-wall jump mechanic, which carried over to the later 3D games.
The 5th entry in the Data West adventure series.
Psychic World is an action-shooter-platformer developed by Hertz, originally released as Psycho World for the MSX in 1988. It was ported to the Master System and Game Gear by Sanitsu and published worldwide by Sega in 1991.
This sequel to Crazy Climber was a Japan-only arcade release in 1988.
The most well known game out of the Alex Kidd series, Miracle World follows the adventures of the plucky little lad Alex as he fights his way through 16 stages to find his long lost brother. Sega's answer to Super Mario Bros, Miracle World is a more ambitious platformer, with more varied levels, quirky Roshambo battles, and a longer adventure.
A sidescrolling action game by Taito, released to arcades in 1985. Unusual in that the player character was female.
Brain Breaker is an epic open-world platform-adventure for the Sharp X1 Japanese home computer. It was an early Metroidvania-style game, predating both Metroid and Castlevania. It was designed by Hiroshi Ishikawa and published by Enix in 1985.
Elevator Action is a 1983 arcade game by Taito where players control Agent 17, who is attempting to steal documents in a tall building.
Go for it! Climb to the top of the building as a helicopter awaits! A precursor to the platformer genre, Crazy Climber was the first game revolving around climbing.
