Very simple...
1. Choose any random game from your collection.
2. Turn it over to the back of the box.
3. Read the game summary and post it partially or in full.
4. It's up to us to figure out the name of that game!
5. Try to leave out obvious details that would make it too easy.
I'll get things started.
"Help Tarik to battle the many types of bandits that Death Adder has amassed to protect himself. Using the sword, and certain very special magic powers, guide Tarik through the gauntlet of bandits to Death Adder's castle! He'll be waiting there for you, and he's terribly reluctant to give up the ______ ___!"
ALSO: Try to refrain from using Google to find the answer! THANKS aclbandit!
This should be fun! Good luck!

Road Fighter.
"A wicked Shogun... a kidnapped Princess... and three Ninjas willing to risk everything to save her. Ruling with an army of demonic soldiers, Shogun Kigai has conquered the innocent nation of Tenshin and kidnapped its beautiful Princess Koto. As violence and carnage tear apart the land, three great Ninjas rise to end the bloodshed and rescue the princess. Armed with sacred weapons, the three Ninjas embark on a journey to destroy the evil Shogun and defeat his menacing army of demons..."
P.S.: I used google to find Road figher, and I'm unsure if it's against the rules, since it's not stated anywhere. If that's not okay, just let the folks in this thread know.

Don't try to shut out the screams...
And don't forget to wash your hands afterwards...

You're running, racing, screaming, scheming, blaring, tearing, blasting down mind-bending, blood-pumping mazes. Faster, faster, you can do it. Get their flag, get another, get another...the monster Minox coming at you, teleport outta there. This way? That way? Just keep moving. Enemies abound. In for the kill comes the Empress Vorga. Drop a mine or use your slow ray, grab more flags at cyber-speed. Over, under, sweating, swerving, beyond unnerving...and only 56 more rounds to go.

Grid Runner
"Imagine, if you will, a universe that holds only a small group of planets. Each planet, a barren shell waiting to be given life. Imagine further, that within this universe there exists the forces of good and evil.
Having only a single Starbase to work from, you set out in ships of your own design and use them to colonize the barren planets.
Strategies are needed to meet the many challenges you will face as you strive to become a great leader. Farms need to be established to feed your growing populous. Taxes have to be imposed to raise money to build a stunning array of equipment... from a spy satellite to a hydroponic plant.
Even while you are establishing that delicate balance called life, a fiendish dictator is gazing at the whole universe with greedy eyes. He schemes to conquer and control. Confrontation is inevitable!"
