It’s amazing how Ys III: Wanderers From Ys can make one small design decision and make me hate it.

SNES A Day 32: Joe & Mac
Approximate Release Date: January 7, 1992
Genre: Action/platformer
Developer: Data East
Publisher: Data East
I’m as surprised as anyone to find that Joe & Mac holds up okay after 22 years.
SNES A Day 31: Earth Defense Force
Approximate Release Date: January 1, 1992
Genre: Side-scrolling shooter
Developer: Jaleco
Publisher: Jaleco
It took a while before I “got” Earth Defense Force, yet another side-scrolling shooter. It took several tries to complete the first level.
SNES A Day 30: D-Force
Approximate Release Date: December 31, 1991
Genre: Scrolling shooter
Developer: Asmik Ace Entertainment
Publisher: Asmik Ace Entertainment
As the final game of 1991, D-Force is immensely disappointing.
SNES A Day 29: Home Alone
Approximate Release Date: December 30, 1991
Genre: Action
Developer: Imagineering
Publisher: THQ
I’m doing something different with Home Alone.
SNES A Day 28: Super Castlevania IV
Approximate Release Date: December 4, 1991
Genre: Action/Platformer

Publisher: Konami
Super Castlevania IV is a kinder, friendlier Castlevania.
SNES A Day 27: Super Off Road
Approximate Release Date: December 1, 1991
Genre: Racing
Developer: Software Creations
Publisher: Tradewest
It’s impossible to play Super Off Road and not compare it to RPM Racing, of which I was not a fan.
