Are these games at all similar, especially Miracle Adventure (Spinmaster), Zupappa, and Nightmare in the Dark?

What is the point of each game? How do they play? Is the control tight?

Just currious. I'm thinking of picking one or two of these games up.

Thanks,

Criterionradiohead ;)

Zupappa and NitD are similar but Spin masters is a side scroller.

Buy any one so I can play 'em. :D

Top Hunter is a platform game where two players can play simultaneously, but on different planes. This works nicely as you do not get in each others way or fight for kills, yet you can move between planes at will and help your friend out where necessary.

I like that about this game.

I like Top Hunter the most.
Miracle Adventure is a 20-min AES game.

Yep,SPINMASTER and TOPHUNTER are side-scrollers like BLUES journey,while ZUPAPA and NIGHTMARE are played screen by screen.
All of the games are ok,so that's a matter of taste... ;)
BTW,SPINMASTER is indeed very short,but also VERY enjoyable.I recommend setting the difficulty on the highest level...that way it should take a 'lil while longer...
...one hour or so... :D

All 4 of these games have something in common... low replay value. <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[Crying]" />

I just got a copy of Top Hunter sent in the mail. It is the greatest thing I will ever own.

A bit more in-depth info:

Top Hunter and Spin Master are side-scrolling platformers reminiscent of Gunstar Heroes, Joe and Mac, or any similar run and shoot game. Top Hunter is fairly challenging and requires approximately two hoursto play through. Spinmaster is a very easy game and can be completed in less than an hour.

Nightmare in the Dark is a very easy puzzle action game in the tradition of Bubble Bobble and Snow Brothers. It can be completed in under half an hour and is very repetitive in its patterns. It features a wonderful soundtrack and superb Halloween-type backgrounds.

Spinmaster is the most solid of the games due to impeccable control and fast-paced action. At the going rate of under $100, it will provide lots of fun. Top Hunter will provide more replay value as there are a few hidden areas and the levels can be selected in different orders. Good deal for under $100 as well. NitD is a conversion cartridge and will be more expensive as such. Probably not worth it unless you hear the music beforehand. One of the best soundtracks on the Neo, along with Pulstar, Shocktroopers and the Metal Slug series.

Sincerely,

Mikhail

IMHO

Top Hunter is the best, because in more amazing than Miracle Adventure/Spinmasters
You can also make some "Koffy-moves" like fireballs or uppercuts. In Top Hunter two "side", like Fatal Fury and you can switch on them any time. The Graphic is really fine and the chara design too.

Miracle Adventure have a good graphics too.

I like Zupapa very much, because is cutie ^_^
The music is great, and the action fast. You have 8 worlds of 5 level each. Maybe the number of power up is poor...

Nightmare In The Dark have a gooood horrorific-humor stile. But the most problem is the slowly gameplay... sick. There are only 25 levels, too. Snow Bros is really better.
