| + | *Takashi: Athena is an arcade game that is mostly hated, but the graphics (1-bit Athena!) are rather cute. Also a Nice ditty tune | ||

| + | * Takashi: This memorable game is what happens when coders are faced with making a movie-tie-in game, and in return deliver an outstanding parody. Sly here is a pump-muscled hero that headbuts things by default and has to fight insidious enemies like baby carts and rocket-launching women to rescue his girl. Genius buzzer music by Martin Gallaway, that was triggered in mid-game without interrupting the action. One of the best 48Kb titles. | ||

| + | *Takashi: Another good arcade port, that was actually one of the best in the 8-Bit category - mostly because the SMS version of this game is a unrelated isometric racer. | ||
