An Intellivision golf game released in the late (not early) 80s was also added, but it’s meh. Another SEGA SG-1000 game was added – the console was never released in America, so it’s always fun to check those games out. Overall though, I have to go with Space Harrier II as my pick. I mean, the original was why I enjoyed Shenmue so much (the game room).

There definitely has to be something out of these 13 games to quench your gaming thirst…but if not, there’s always next week, right?
