A safe sequel that does not reach the heights of the SNES games but is entertaining nonetheless.

A bad game all around.

A little known Metal Slug clone that has a unique setting and is pretty good in its own right.

A simple 1500 game that wears out its welcome long before you reach the end.

A solid adaptation of the movie and a good example of a licensed movie tie-in.

A solid version of the original classic that is lesser known. Obviously there are better versions out there but it was interesting exploring this one.

Of the more easily-accessible versions of the first Ys, which would you recommend to a novice?

I've never played a Ys game, but have been aware of it and vaguely interested for a long time.

Ys Chronicle 1 & II on the PC are a great place to start and are usually dirt cheap when they are on sale. They are beautiful remakes of the first two games and smooth out some rough edges. I will not be covering those until part 2 of my spotlight but have no problem recommending them.

A respectable version of the second game and a marked improvement over the first.

For a long time the definitive version of these games and still great after all these years.
