DOS1993freeware Apogee Software
The trilogy concludes in Master Cain, where Snake Logan faces the ultimate evil: a villain with a name that sounds like a Bond bad guy and a plan straight from Saturday morning cartoons. Expect one last hurrah of mutant-blasting mayhem, complete with bad platforming, louder explosions, and enough neon to cause eye strain. Long live DOS carnage!

Artura

DOS1989 Arcadia Systems
Artura is a hack-and-slash side-scroller that looks like someone tried to draw Gauntlet from memory after a power outage. You’re some kind of Celtic warrior on a mystical mission, but really you’re just trying not to die while jumping over spikes and stabbing things that look vaguely hostile. The music is decent, the graphics are a feve...

Bad Dudes VS Dragon Ninja

DOS1988protected Data East
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president? If that line doesn’t make you want to punch a ninja through a hotdog stand, nothing will. Bad Dudes VS Dragon Ninja is peak 80s: mullets, muscles, and more side-scrolling beatdowns than a Chuck Norris fan convention. It's cheesy, it's repetitive, and yes — it's absolutely glorious.
