I've only played Camerica games on the NES, but there are several good ones. I'd actually say that Micro Machines is one of the best hidden racing gems on the NES (highly recommended for any fans of RC Pro-Am). One of my wife's absolute favorite games of all time is actually also a Dizzy game called Go! Dizzy Go! which is one of the titles in the Quattro Arcade collection. Great 2P co-op fun! It has more in common with Pac-Man and Clu Clu Land than with the adventure based Dizzy titles, but it really is a decent little title for what it is. Something else to consider when you've buzzed through Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy!
I don't know what their secret was, but Camerica games had some of the most unique music on the NES. Some of it was awesome and some of it ... not so much, but it had a very distinctive sound to it, like almost nothing else on the system.
Edit: When I originally posted this I was using Tapatalk and didn't realize this was in the Sega sub-forum when I started pontificating about the NES. Major faux pas, lol! OMG the 90's just called and they're coming for my blood! Don't kill me Sonic!

A lot of the music was done by people that had been making music on 8 and 18 bit home computers and they brought a lot of the sensibilities over from the trickeries learned there. If you want to jump in the deep end of C64 music, head over to the HVSC.

I'm tempted to start pontificating about the NGPC or something now.
