I love the unlicensed originals, to me they are some of the best in the set. Here's a few of my choices. Time Diver Avenger Time Diver Avenger was reviewed extensively in Nintendo Power magazine, and was supposed to be a licensed game. Somewhere along the line, the game got cancelled, despite being finished, yet a Taiwanense company out of Hsinchu (there's a large science park there) ended up releasing the game, seemingly with permission from the original developers, on Famicom, albeit unlicensed. Thunder Warrior This one receives a lot of hate in the west, as it was released by Gluk in Europe. People always cite that the game is difficult and has terrible controls, and I used to feel the same, until actually taking the time to sit down and play it one day. Thunder Warrior is a very fun platformer. The game actually isn't very difficult, and the controls aren't bad either, once you get used to the feel. To me, this is one of the better Chinese-themed games on the machine, an area which is sadly lacking. Huang Di Huang Di is another game with a Chinese cultural flare to it. It's a beautiful platformer, which also has great music. Although the game is quite easy , it's once again one of my favourites in the whole library. Final Fight 3 Final Fight 3 is a remake of the Super Nintendo game. I generally will play this a couple times a year, and I much prefer it to the actual , licensed Final Fight game on the NES (which is still fun though). Donkey Kong Country There were several attempts made to "port" Donkey Kong Country to the Famicom / NES, but most turned out horrible. This one turned out amazing though. The controls are smooth, and although some liberties were made to get the game running on the Famicom, everything's more or less there. Crystal Mines I'm surprised there hasn't been much love for Crystal Mines. I used to play this game for hours. By now, the genre isn't something I'd usually play, but it's still an amazing game. Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy I chose Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy as it's the one I gave on hand, plus I spent the most time on it back in the day, but honestly I'd put all of the Dizzy games on the list. Yeah, they are longish, but they make for a fun afternoon, definitely quality releases.
