The Kung-Fu Master Jackie Chan (カンフーマスター ジャッキー・チェン) is a 1995 fighting arcade game developed and published by Kaneko. It features the Hong Kong celebrity, Jackie Chan, who was also the producer of it, while it also features other actors from some of his films.

During the same year, the game was later updated and retitled as Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire: Jackie Chan Densetsu (ジャッキー・チェン FISTS OF FIRE 成龍伝説, lit. “Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire: Legend of Jackie Chan”).

Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire: Jackie Chan Densetsu is an updated version of The Kung-Fu Master Jackie Chan that was also released the same year exclusively for the arcades, and was the very last fighting game Kaneko released before their bankruptcy in 2006. It adds a desperation move system, an improved combo system with a special combo counter above the life bars that records the highest number of combos during a match, and an “escaping” feature where players can struggle out of combos or stand up as fast as possible by rapidly moving the control stick and tapping the buttons simultaneously. Fists of Fire also makes all three versions of Jackie Chan into playable characters expanding the roster up to nine playable characters, and makes adjustments to the character balance by strengthening and weakening the statistics of certain playable characters from the first game, while adding and removing a few moves to some of them. The palettes of Lau, Yeung and Thorston were heavily modified as well. The opening intro is a modified version of the first game’s intro, but the rest of the game’s graphics are not that different.

The PremiseThe game follows a young prince whose father has been poisoned by the evil magician Zandor. The player must travel across six action-packed levels to defeat Zandor, secure an antidote, and save the king.

Gameplay MechanicsPerspective: The camera sits directly behind the prince’s shoulder, creating an always-forward-moving pseudo-3D effect.

Action: Basic controls involve moving left and right, jumping, and swinging your sword to dodge obstacles and fight boss enemies (like battling a dragon or paddling a canoe).

007 First Light is a 2026 action-adventure video game developed and published by IO Interactive. Based on the James Bond franchise, it tells an original narrative inspired by the novels and short stories by Ian Fleming, and the film series starring the character. The game depicts James Bond’s origin story, as he embarks on the mission he must complete to earn his licence to kill.

Following the release of 007 Legends (2012), publisher Activision had its non-exclusive licence to produce James Bond video games revoked, resulting in an extended hiatus for video games adapting the franchise. IO Interactive announced the development of a new James Bond game in November 2020. The game entered full production at IO Interactive following the completion of Hitman 3 (2021), and was fully revealed in June 2025.

007 First Light was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 27 May 2026. The game recieved positive reviews from critics with praise given to the gameplay, combat, and Patrick Gibson’s portrayal of Bond. A Nintendo Switch 2 version is scheduled to release later in the year.

The Neo Geo CD (ネオジオCD, Neo Jio Shī Dī) also called as NeoCD is a home video game console produced by SNK Corporation, released on September 9, 1994. The system is the same platform as the cartridge-based Neo Geo released four years earlier, but converted to the cheaper CD media format which retailed at $49 to 79 per title compared to up to $300 for the equivalent cartridge.

The Neo Geo CD was launched with a bundled control pad instead of a joystick like the AES version of the Neo Geo came with; however, the system was compatible with controllers from the AES. The Neo Geo CD met with limited success due to it being plagued with long loading times that could vary from 30 to 60 seconds, depending on the game, and its lack of 3D graphics capabilities at a time when 3D graphics were becoming ubiquitous in the video game industry. As of September 30, 1997, there had been 570,000 Neo Geo CD units sold worldwide; production of all Neo Geo hardware was discontinued in 1997, while new software continued to be released until 2004.

The Neo Geo CD was first unveiled at the 1994 Tokyo Toy Show. The console uses the same CPU set-up as the arcade and cartridge-based Neo Geo systems, facilitating conversions. SNK planned to release Neo Geo CD versions of every Neo Geo game still in the arcades.

Back to the Future Part II is a 1990 action game based on the 1989 film of the same name. It was developed and published by Image Works for Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, Master System, and ZX Spectrum. The game has five levels based on scenes from the film, and was criticized as a poor conversion of the film. It was followed by Back to the Future Part III.

Back to the Future Part II features five levels based on scenes from the film. Marty McFly, his girlfriend Jennifer Parker, and Emmett “Doc” Brown time-travel from 1985 to 2015, to prevent the couple’s future children from turning out badly. The game includes an introduction sequence that depicts the DeLorean time machine as it travels to 2015. The first level is a side-scroller in which Marty uses a hoverboard around Hill Valley and must avoid oncoming vehicles while evading Griff and his gang. The second level is played as a puzzle game in which Jennifer has wound up at the house where her future self resides. Playing from an overhead perspective, the player must guide Jennifer out of the house while preventing her from seeing her future self or her future family members.

The third level is a side-scrolling beat ‘em up in which Marty returns to 1985 and discovers that Hill Valley has changed due to an alteration in the timeline: in 1955, Biff Tannen, through his future self, obtained a sports almanac from 2015 and used it to become a millionaire through sports betting. Marty fights Biff’s guards while walking through Hill Valley. The fourth level is a sliding puzzle game, in which tiles must be arranged to form a picture of Marty playing in a band (a scene from the first and second film). Marty and Doc then go to 1955 to restore the original version of 1985. In the final level, similar to the first one, Marty hoverboards through 1955 Hill Valley to avoid Biff’s crew while trying to obtain the almanac from Biff’s car. The story is continued in Back to the Future Part III.

Blade Warrior is a beat ‘em up video game, released in 1991 by Image Works for Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS. The game was created by Jason Kingsley.

The game is a mix of adventuring and battling, in which players are tasked with collecting magical items and exploring the landscape of the game via the in-game map while fighting off enemies. Various facilities in the game are accessible only when a certain number of artifacts have been collected. A notable feature of Blade Warrior is the graphical interface: all objects in the game are seen in silhouette, except for obtainable items, and the effects of magic spells. The background is made up of a night sky, with clouds and hills, etc.

The world has been enslaved by Murk, and players are challenged to free it by collecting the seven fragments of a tablet which are in the possession of seven wizards who inhabit seven towers.

Sanitarium is a psychological horror point-and-click adventure video game that was originally released for Microsoft Windows. It was developed by DreamForge Intertainment and published by ASC Games in 1998. It was a commercial success, with sales of around 300,000 units. In 2015, it was ported to iOS and Android devices.

The game uses an isometric perspective and a non-tiled 2D navigational system. Each world and setting carries a distinct atmosphere that presents either the real world, the imaginary world, or a mix of both of the main protagonist. In many cases, it is unclear to the player if the world the character is currently in is real or a product of Max’s own imagination. This indistinction underlines much of the horror portrayed in the game.

The game is separated into different levels or “chapters” with each having a different style and atmosphere. The player must find clues, solve puzzles and interact with other characters to reach a final challenge, where the player must reach the end of a path while avoiding obstacles. Failure to do so (by, for instance, getting killed) causes the player to be transported back to the beginning of the path without losing progress, thus a game over in this game is non-existent. When the player reaches the end of the path, a cinematic is played and the game proceeds to the next chapter.

Weird Dreams is a cinematic platform game developed by Rainbird Software which was published for the Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, and MS-DOS. A modified version served as the visual component to a phone-in quiz on ITV’s Motormouth. Versions for the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum were cancelled.

The background story is told by a 64-page novella with 19 chapters written by Rupert Goodwins.

Steve is in love with his attractive coworker Emily. Unbeknownst to Steve, Emily is possessed by a daemon named Zelloripus who was banished to Earth, stripped of most of her powers, and trapped in a human female due to unspecified crimes done to other daemons. Emily sees a chance to let someone else suffer and stifle her boredom. She tricks Steve into taking three pills she has mixed to “cure his flu”. While the pills do cure him, they also grant Zelloripus access to his body and mind. His dreams become both more lucid and strange, each one getting more intense and painful. Steve’s psychiatrist does not understand what causes the dreams, and neither does Steve. He refers him to a neurosurgeon. After his health dramatically declines, Steve undertakes brain surgery in an attempt to stop the dreams. Under an anaesthetic, he slips into one more dream, possibly his last.

Drakkhen is a 1989 3D role-playing video game, initially developed and published by Infogrames for the Amiga and Atari ST, and ported to MS-DOS, Super NES, PC-98, X68000, and FM Towns Marty. It was a very early game in the North American SNES library, and as such, received almost universal coverage in previews of the then-upcoming SNES in gaming magazines of 1990 and early 1991.

Drakkhen was among the first role-playing games with a three-dimensional playing field and an early example of the real-time tactics genre. It did not employ a fully 3D game engine, instead implementing a hybrid approach using vectors and bitmapped character-scaling algorithms. Drakkhen includes an animated day-night cycle and the ability to wander freely about the game world, both rarities for a game of its era. The game spawned a Super NES sequel: Dragon View.
