    Can you name these SNES games from their box art blurbs?

    Can you name these SNES games from the blurbs that featured on the front of their boxes? Some are easy, but I think some, if you didn't own the game, you may struggle.

    Please put your answers in between spoiler tags (that's the icon with the eye and red stripe through it.

    8. Sim City

        haha well, it was very much a guess (some of the others I was pretty confident about), but...




        "Lightning quick" and "non-stop combat" screamed Contra, and there are those overhead stages which I guess some could've described as "phenomenal graphic effects" at the time!

              I feel like 6....


              ...is a shmup due to "Weapons" and "launch headlong". It reminds me slightly of the "Blast off and strike the evil Bydo empire" line from R-Type, so perhaps one of those?



              I'm also going to guess 3 is...


              Big Run, because it's a Paris to Dakar thing, so pretty adventure-like!

                    Sorry, no. Those answers don't check out.

                    You are right about the shmup. Think


                    Number 3 is probably the best racer on the console.
