The game play and the design haven't much changed since Adventure Island II. There is of course a world map and you can choose items before starting out on your mission.

The basic adventure island activities all still work including the ability to ride various types of dinosaurs, throw boomerangs at snails, birds, snakes, and skulls, collect grapes and apples, jump over stones and of course, ride your old trusty skateboard. Honestly, if they ever took the skateboard away, could you ever play the game again?

Game Title: Adventures of Lolo
Game Type: Action
Game Generation: 3

Game Description: Princess Lala was kidnapped by the Evil Demons of the Empire. As Lolo, your mission is to sneak into the empire castle and to liberate the princess.

Each level is a castle room and in each room there are hearts you must collect. However, there are plenty of enemies to get in your way and make life difficult.

Once you collect all the hearts, a treasure chest will open and activate all the creatures in the room, even those who were not hostile until now. Cross the room to the exit quickly to avoid these creatures -- fighting them is not a good option.

As can be expected, the difficulty level increases with each room, and after a few levels there is an especially hard room with tougher enemies.

Game Title: Archon: The Light and the Dark
Game Type: Action
Game Generation: 3

Game Description: This is a strategic board game with some similarities to chess. Two sides, a light one and a dark one, consisting of 18 pieces each compete on a board divided into 9 by 9 squares. The game is won by having one of your units on each of the five powerpoint squares or by removing all your opponents pieces.

When two pieces clash, the outcome is decided in the battle arena during one-on-one real-time combat. If the real-time combat takes place on a dark square, the dark monster gets a health bonus. On a light square the light side gains an advantage.

Unlike chess the two sides are not identical. Both sides consist of mythological creatures. The differences are not just cosmetic. Two special pieces are the light wizard & the dark sorceress, they can both cast magical spells like: imprison a unit on the board, shift the flow of time, bring one unit back from the dead etc.

The different pieces have their own movement restrictions regarding the number of squares they're allowed to travel on the board and whether or not they can jump over other units. Units also behave different in combat; some units are faster than others, some use melee attacks while others fire projectiles.

Archon can be played with either one or two players. The NES version, which was released a few years after the other versions, has improved graphics for the real-time combat part. Each type of square has it's own colored background and the unit sprites are larger.
