Whoa, 1989... that's the same year that the Game Boy came out. Yeah, I'm not optimistic about this one.

Spider-Man X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (SNES)
AMAZING FIVE PART SNES SPIDER-MAN SPECIAL!
Part two:
Lots of TMs. That title screen is a bit of a step down from the last Spider-Man game, though to be fair it did come out a few years earlier.

Spider-Man: The Animated Series (SNES)
SPECTACULAR FIVE PART SNES SPIDER-MAN SPECIAL!
Part one:
Out of all the SNES games I've been playing, that's possibly the best title screen I've seen yet. Spider-Man swings around in the background, then drops down, and climbs back up to pose for the camera.

Batman (ZX Spectrum)
It took five minutes to load this, so I hope you appreciate the incredible sacrifices I make.
I have no idea why Batman is carrying a shield though. We're supposed to be collecting pieces of the broken Batmobile, so I suppose it could be a hubcap.

Eternal Grace (PC) - Guest Post
RPG fan Ocean cunningly uses this opportunity to advertise his friend's game.
OK, now playing Eternal Grace! I know the people who made it so they asked me to play it. You can get the demo here, or support them by buying the full game! http://www.eternal-grace.com/

OK here we go! I wasn't sure what kind of game it was but I really don't tend to look up much about it before I play.

This definitely seems like something I should have heard of. Well I vaguely remember the name, but I've got no idea what type of game it is or if it's supposed to be any good.

Not to be confused with Jackie Chan's Inaction Kung Fu, where he just sits watching martial arts movies for the whole game.
This was actually one of my favourite platformers on the NES, so I'm curious to see if it's the same game.

Valdis Story (PC) - Guest Post
Ocean returns with a look at another free rpg.
Valdis Story was something I was asked to play. As I was playing Indie RPGs, I figured why not? It's more a platformer than an RPG really but it does have levelling... I guess that's about it from what I got to play. You can download it here.

Very neat title screen I thought! Time to give it a whirl.

This is the first Commodore 64 game I've ever played by the way, so I'm not sure what to expect from it.

That's a little more interesting than the average NES title screen so far. I've got no idea what to expect from it though. Or what the different between Game A and Game B could be.

This one is actually freeware now, you can grab it from this download page. If you feel that's something you really want to do.
Val d'Isère Championship (SNES)
Also known as Tommy Moe's Winter Extreme: Skiing & Snowboarding and Ski Paradise with Snowboard. I think it might be a skiing game.

The Spirit Engine II (PC) - Guest Post
RPG expert Ocean is back with another freeware game, which you can download for yourself here.
The Spirit Engine 2. By the name I thought it'd be some type of train game or a new game making engine or something. But it's a side scrolling RPG, without platforming parts.

You can change the difficulty and also even change it midgame if you want, but you can disable that too if you don't like that.

I edited this picture together from a couple of screenshots to get rid of the text, because it's too awesome to be obscured. It's a shame there's no way this game is going to live up to this.

The Terminator (Game Gear)
I have actually played this one before, it was one of the first games I bought for my Game Gear. But I never did manage to get anywhere in it.
It's been a while though, maybe I've become much better at games since then. Somehow.
