It was pretty awful honestly. In the US the sega genesis came out in the same year, it was both cheaper and a lot more powerful. It's bad but at least it's not as bad as the SNES.

1943 Kai
Aero Blasters
After Burner II
Armed Formation F
Atomic Robo-Kid Special
Bikkuriman World
Daimakamura
Detana!! TwinBee
Don Doko Don!
Dragon Saber
Dragon Spirit
Fantasy Zone
Galaga '88
Gokuraku! Chuuka Taisen
Gradius
Image Fight
Jigoku Meguri
Kiki Kaikai
Klax
Kyuukyoku Tiger
Legend of Hero Tonma
Liquid Kids
Maerchen Maze
Mr. Heli
Nekketsu Koukou Dodgeball
Ninja Spirit
Operation Wolf
Ordyne
Out Run
P-47 - The Freedom Fighter
Pac-Land
Parodius da!
Power Drift
Puzznic
Rabio Lepus Special
Raiden
Rastan Saga II
Salamander
Shinobi
Side Arms
Space Harrier
Space Invaders - Fukkatsu no Hi
Special Criminal Investigation
Splatterhouse
Taito Chase H.Q.
Tatsujin

The New Zealand Story
The Ninja Warriors

Japanese like it because of all the adventure games which retarded Amerishits retroactively call ""visual novels""

Americans pretend to like it thinking it makes them cool and hip because it's "niche" when they hear that the Japanese like it but don't understand why so come up with lists of platformers and shmups to justify their claims to like it as they can't understand any of the ADV games the Japanese love it for
