Overview
Description

Heavy Nova is a 1991 action title where players control a massive mech battling other mechs of varying sizes. The game features simple controls—A for punches, B for kicks, and a rocket button for sustained flight—making combat easy to pick up yet challenging to master. Originally released for the Sharp X68000, it was later ported to the Sega Mega‑CD and Mega Drive, bringing its arena‑style fighting to console audiences. The game blends platforming elements with fighting mechanics in a futuristic setting, offering both single‑player and multiplayer modes. Its retro graphics and arcade‑style gameplay capture the early 90s spirit of mech combat.

WWF Attitude brings the excitement of 1990s professional wrestling to your screen, featuring a roster of more than 40 iconic superstars like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and The Undertaker. Customize move sets and costumes to craft a unique competitor and dominate the squared circle. The game supports both single‑player and split‑screen multiplayer, with two‑man commentary from Shane McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler adding authentic broadcast flavor. Perfect for fans of classic wrestling action and competitive couch co‑op.
