Taito’s Lufia series has enjoyed moderate success over a number of platforms and releases over the decades, but this Game Boy Advance release (out in 2002 in Japan, and 2003 in North America – it never got an official European release) is the best game in the series, in my opinion.

Super Ghouls ‘N Ghosts, Super Nintendo
This suped-up version of Capcom‘s classic Ghouls ‘N Ghosts on the Super Nintendo is a massive amount of fun to play!
Bubble Symphony, Sega Saturn
This 1997 Sega Saturn conversion is an official sequel to Bubble Bobble, and is a brilliant game in its own right.
Pikmin 2, GameCube
Nintendo’s 2004 sequel is a brilliant update of the first Pikmin game, with split screen multiplayer, and challenging single-player story modes.
Frak!, BBC Micro
Orlando’s Frak! first came out on the BBC Micro in 1984 and instantly became a cult hit.
Marble Madness, Arcade
Atari’s 1984 arcade hit was a very early proponent of isometric (meaning: “equal measure“) graphics, with a viewpoint that takes an overhead, three-quarter perspective of the gameplay area, and as a result was a huge influence on many games that followed it.
Splash Lake, PC Engine
Actually, Splash Lake is a PC Engine CD game, and was released in 1991 on CD-ROM only. Which is a pity because it’s so much fun to play – it deserves more attention.
We Love Katamari, PlayStation 2
Namco‘s We Love Katamari on the PlayStation 2 is one of the most imaginative games ever made! It is the sequel to 2004’s Katamari Damacy and takes the idea of rolling things up further than its predecessor did, resulting in another fantastic and bizarre adventure in item-collecting.
