Abobox - Milton Bradley
Ever wondered what would happen if Fantastic Voyage was fused with Gradius? Well, the result might be this bizzare space shooter. In this freakishly grumsome game, you pilot what looks like one of those jetpacks you might see in the Super Bowl through the body of a giant alien. Your mission is (apparently) to destroy said alien from the inside, all the while fending off the hordes of alien creatures and small craft that get in your way. Each stage takes you through a certain system of the creature's body, where you make your way to the boss, which of course, happens to be a major organ. While the game does seem to be unique and has a somewhat interesting plot, it's really just another plain ol' shooter. No new gameplay or weapons or AI--just a watered-down Gradius clone that takes place in an alien's body.

Adventure Island 2 - HudsonSoft
I must admit, I vaguely remember playing this game. Basically you're this islander who goes on an adventure to save his land from...something. Aliens or something, I don't know. Apparently, there's a game before this one, but I somehow missed the boat on that one. Anyway, to aid you on your quest, you get an assortment of different weapons--hammers, skateboards, an even dinosaurs. Yes, folks, you even get to ride on four different types of dinosaurs, each of which has it's own unique attack and ability. To a non-gamer, this might sound like a weird idea for a game, but it's par for the course for most platformers on the NES.

The Adventures of Bayou Billy - Konami (owned)
Yeah, you know Konami. The ones that created all our favorite NES classics like Castlevania, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Contra, and...this game?? Well, at least Konami tried to raise the bar here--no other game at the time had combined fighting, shooting, and driving. The problem was that the game is pretty bad in all three areas. And the story? A gator-rasslin' Cajin from the Louisiana swamps named Billy, fights through swamps, roads, and the streets of New Orleans to rescue his girl, Annabelle, from the clutches of Gordon, Bourbon Street's most ruthless gangster, who apparently wanted to piss off a random Cajin for the hell of it. Well let me tell you, bucko, he just pissed off the wrong Cajin! He also pissed off a multitude of gamers who ruined their controllers after the millionth badguy beat the hell out of poor Billy due to poor collision detection. Okay, I'm done.
