1. #DonkeyKong Jr
Great platformer. I liked it even more than the original

2. #Tarzan
You could press 5 to Tarzan yell. Swinging on vines to save monkeys hanging in cages was fun.

4. Pepper 2
Zipping around squares to fill them in was very satisfying

3. #CabbagePatchKids
Basic platformer but more substantial than SMURF.

5. #SMURF
Cant get more basic, but hey I was a kid.
