A sequel to The Magical Quest, this time play as both Mickey and Minnie to stop Pete from being an asshole, like usual. Same essential gameplay, but now features new costumes and co-op (though there is no difference between Mickey and Minnie, aesthetics aside). Also released on Genesis (though it's a bit inferior), and ported to the GBA, but same deal as last time (save feature, slightly downgraded graphics and music).
You are fireman who rescues people in emergency situations. Game tries to be realistic simulation. Before every mission there is a briefing, basing on level's objectives you decide what equipment to take with you. Take to much and your speed will decrease. This is important because each stage has it's time limit and you must not only find survivors but also escape. There are nine stages total (including one bonus stage). Overall game has rather slower pace.
An interesting platformer with a cool gimmick based on the Hannah-Barbera cartoon from the 60's. You have a vacuum-like device you can use to suction yourself to walls and ceilings, or suck up blocks and enemies and launch them back out. It's not perfect, and the game falls to some of the platformer tropes of the time (seperation between regular gameplay and bosses make them slightly unfair, as an example), but it's otherwise a neat little title.
This game was rebranded and re-released in Japan, starring a ghost-hunting anime girl, with different graphics and audio. The level design and gameplay are almost exactly the same, so if you're into that sort of thing, go for that version instead. More info here.

Technically a Goemon game, this is a fun little platforming game where you play as GoemKID YING, a ninja. Has a goofy translation in hind-sight. Also has multiplayer co-op with EbisumaDOCTOR YANG. Has a bunch of goofiness, as expected. Had a number of Japan-only sequels which improved on the formula, as seen above. Curiously, this one has more basis/parody in Japanese history than most Goemon games, as seen HERE.
This is the game that laid out the formula emulated by all of its successors - adding more expansive dungeons, more interesting puzzles, a detailed story, and introducing quintessential items like the hookshot and bottles. Many consider it one of the best 2D Zeldas, and that ain't just nostalgia talkin'. Rereleased on GBA with some small changes.
Here you control three vikings taking turns. Each has his own abilities, which you must use at the right times to get through the stages. Also on Megadrive, GBA and possible others. Blizzard's best game after Rock'n Roll Racing. The Mega Drive/Genesis version contains five stages not present in any other version of the game.
More from the first game, except now we have laser sword and elastic chain arm thingies. Also on PS1. The Lost Vikings 2 SNES screenshot
If there was ever a game that was proof that Capcom did beautiful things with the Disney license, then this is it. Play as Mickey Mouse on an awesome quest to save Pluto from the evil Emperor Pete. While the core gameplay is Super Mario Bros. 2-ish, you get suits with different abilities akin to Mega Man. Very awesome. There is a Game Boy Advance port with an included save feature (the original has no saves, though later games had passwords), but it's not really necessary, plus, the amazing graphics and music take a slight hit.
A rather overlooked but really fun beat 'em up. 3 characters, all with their own moves. Very straightforward. No co-op, which is a shame for a beat 'em up.
Super classic racing game series. While the first is a more regular racer, the sequels add some futuristic stuff, as well as a shop between races to customize your car. 3000 is especially neat. It has only 4 songs but they all kick ass, the basic racing is still good but now with futuristic tech like jumping, warping, infrared vision and a quantum attractor, NOT TO MENTION NUCLEAR ENGINES MOTHERFUCKER.
The first game is actually a japanese port of the Amiga's Lotus Challenge series, and even the songs are remixes of those games.

Based on the Area 88 anime/manga series. A tad more accessible than most shumps, with playable jets based on real military aircraft, lots of weapons to blast stuff with, and catchy-as-hell music. Adaptation of the arcade game, which had fewer features overall. HOW FAR TO PARADISE?
Known as Daikoukai Jidai II in Japan. A game about nautical adventures with an awesome soundtrack and good plot. You can choose role of merchant, adventurer, combater by choosing different characters as protagonist.
Quirky and fast-paced, fun with another player.
Race riderless unicycles around a 2D track. Heavy emphasis is placed on performing stunts. Can be difficult to find because Pixar are fascist pricks and sued DMA to death. 300,000 copies exist; if you see it, get it.

A sci-fi western game that uses character movement and gun aiming co-operatively. Features tons of hidden targets and bonuses throughout stages, so shoot everything. That huge mecha on the box? He's the first boss. That said, you know things will get crazier from then out.
This game got a nice HD re-release on the PS4, with 4 player support and widescreen!

A Beat-em-up by Capcom. What can go wrong? That's right - absolutely nothing. Features 5 mutants and specific missions for each of them. Really good animation and vivid colours are breathtaking. Sometimes may be hard.
Mario + Gun. Dust off the Super Scope for this one. Fun to blast goombas flying at you in first person. Just don't shoot the back of Yoshi's head or you'll upset the beast!
You shoot a lot of zombies with water pistols. Very fun in co-op. ("Zombies" is the censored European / Australian version, the Genesis also has this uncensored version). Features Day of the Tentacle level! Has a shitty sequel called Ghoul Patrol.
