E.V.O.: Search for Eden was a wonderfully original Role-Playing Game back in 1992, when it was first released, and is still quite original now, nearly three decades later.

Super Mario Kart, Super Nintendo
I would argue that the original 1992 Super Mario Kart on the SNES is still the greatest Mario Kart game of all time.
Addams Family Values, Super Nintendo
This British-made SNES game is something of a surprise coming from publisher Ocean Software – it’s not a platform game! Congratulations to them for NOT making it into one by the way…
Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, PlayStation
Abe’s Oddysee is the first in a quadrilogy of games that fall under the Oddworld series banner, and the first game to feature Abe – a likeable alien slave who is on the run from his captors.
Astro Boy: Omega Factor, Game Boy Advance
Astro Boy: Omega Factor is a fun and visually spectacular scrolling beat ’em up on the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.

Adventures of Lolo 3, NES

Everyone’s A Wally, ZX Spectrum
Chris Hinsley‘s 1985 follow-up to Pyjamarama sees the return – once again – of Wally Week. The mechanic turned mundane video game hero.

Fred, ZX Spectrum
Fred was one of two Spanish video games licensed by Quicksilva for release on the ZX Spectrum in the UK in 1983.
Both were made by Indescomp, and the other game was the legendary Bugaboo.

The third and final game in the Mother series, Mother 3, was released in Japan only in 2006 for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.
Nintendo published the game, with development by Brownie Brown and HAL Laboratory – directed by Nobuyuki Inhoue and written by series creator Shigesato Itoi.
EarthBound, Super Nintendo
This 1994 cult classic Super Nintendo level-grinder was originally titled “Mother 2” in its native Japan – later changed in English-speaking territories to EarthBound.
