Harvest Moon may be better then these games, but I´m relieved to see more than one game this week. Speaking of US releases, the only game I really miss is Ordyne. Hope for some more Turbo or Neo Geo games soon.
Star Tropics is a good game, but I never had the endurance to complete it.
The NES version is fantastic. The NES sound chip makes perfect justice to the famous Bubble Bobble song, and twoplayer action never gets better than this! It´s a jolly game for one player too, but with a buddy you never get tired of finding out what kind of bonuses will rain over you in the next level.
Harvest Moon is a pretty nice game, but it could be more varied. The first "year" of playing is fun, after that it´s too much repetition for my taste. A few more unique events would have made it more enjoyable.
Still, it´s a simulator game that´s way more entertaining then, let´s say Sim City.
And Kalle, I guess Mineral Town is a bit more advanced than this game, so if you aren´t a really big fan of Harvest Moon you can live without this.
The Mega Drive version is one of my favourite games for that system! The ordinary Wonderboy games are great 1 player games, this one´s a great 2 player game. I´ve had lots of fun blasting away at mushroms & monkeys, jumping platforms and defeating bosses with my brothers. The time limited power-ups are very nice, I get a burst of joy everytime I can fire enormous explosions with my sword!

Monster World IV would be such an adorable release... Too bad it´s not very likely to make it to europe or US.
