In The Magical Question Starring Mickey Mouse -- released on the SNES in 1992, the "player must move as in a typical platform game, defeating enemies either by jumping on them or by grabbing and throwing blocks at them." ScrewAttack takes a look back at this title after the break.

The disguises Mickey uses are a magician attire, which allows him to shoot magic, which can be charged; a fire fighter uniform that allows him to continually spray water; and alpinism clothes that allow him to use a grappling hook that can attach to certain surfaces and objects.

In Knight Rider for the NES, "terrorists are running rampant all over the United States of America and only a man and his robotic car can stop them from taking over." ScrewAttack takes a look back at this title after the break.

However, the game is very difficult to play and there is also a DRIVE mode that allows players to go on a Sunday drive through the stages. Despite the non-violent premise of the television show, the video game interpretation was deemed to be very violent for its era with its almost exclusive use of firearms to eradicate terrorists

Super Soccer for the SNES "is innovative because of its viewing perspective, to this day unique in soccer video games: the field is shown plainly on a vertical view, and the opposite goal can be seen from anywhere in the field, making use of the Mode 7 chip." ScrewAttack takes a look back at this title after the break.

In Dr. Mario for the NES, gameplay consisted "of dropping two-sided vitamin capsules into an eight-block-by-16-block playing field populated by viruses of three colors (red, yellow, and blue)." ScrewAttack takes a look back at this title after the break.

There are six types of capsules, differentiated by their color: red-red, yellow-yellow, blue-blue, red-blue, red-yellow, and blue-yellow. The player must rotate and position these capsules on top of and alongside the viruses and other capsules in an effort to eliminate the viruses
