SNES A Day 125: X-Zone
Approximate Release Month: November 1992
Genre: Light gun shooter

Publisher: Kemco
X-Zone x-ceeds x-pectations.
SNES A Day 124: Wordtris
Approximate Release Month: November 1992
Genre: Puzzle
Developer: Bullet Proof Software
Publisher: Spectrum HoloByte
Wordtris throws away the simplicity that made Tetris so great.
SNES A Day 123: Wing Commander
Approximate Release Month: November 1992
Genre: Space flight simulation
Developer: Origin Systems
Publisher: Mindscape
Wing Commander is another PC-to-console port that is technically well done but not worth playing today.
