All four games cover a variety of genres throughout the late 1980's and 1990s. In Crusader of Centy, fourteen-year-old Corona takes up his father’s sword to fend off alien foes threatening humanity. Most notably, he throws it around like a boomerang to defeat enemies and befriends animals with special abilities.

Ghouls 'n Ghosts, the sequel to Ghouls 'n Goblins, pits you against horrific demons like vultures and the living dead. Prince Arthur sets off on a mission to save Princess Prin-Prin and restore everyone's stolen souls. There's also a cameo from a character in Gargoyle’s Quest, Ghouls 'n Goblins Game Boy spin-off that's also available in the NSO library.

Sega's The Revenge of the Shinobi fast forwards three years after the original game, Shinobi. Ninja Joe Musashi must avenge his master and save his wife from the Neo Zeed clan before it’s too late. Throw shuriken, fireballs, and other ninja weapons in this side-scrolling adventure.

Lastly, Landstalker follows a Forest Elf and his fantasy adventure through a puzzle-filled world. Expect mazes and light combat as you hunt for hidden treasure.
