3. Let‟s just get right to it and cover four more, shall
we?
Myst (Mac, 1993)
• Myst was a popular point-and-click adventure game
that also was one of the relatively very few games
available for Apple‟s Mac. In fact, more than that, it
was one of the even fewer that were released for the
Mac first before the PC. That alone already makes it
historically significant (in gaming annals, at least).
• To further its distinction, Myst was also the game that
added the term “point-and-click adventure game
genre” to the mainstream consciousness. Its popularity
can be attributed to its gameplay: While seemingly no
more different than other adventure games, it actually
featured some of the more intelligent and rewardingly
difficult puzzles in the genre, as well as showcasing a
graphical prowess (at the time) that really immersed
gamers in the game‟s fictional world.
• Myst is now available for the iPhone, along with its
equally lauded sequel, Riven.

we?
Mega Man X (SNES, 1993)
• Mega Man X is the first game from the second
main series of the Mega Man franchise. At
present, there are now about seven series, with
six of those taking place in the same universe.
The X series was initially created to give a new
edgier attitude to the franchise, and
subsequently ended up inspiring Capcom to
create more spin-off series.
• The game is also notable for being the first game
in the franchise to be released for a 16-bit system.
This jump in gaming generation gave the X series
more graphical oomph than the original series
(which remained in 8-bit then; and which went
back to its 8-bit look with its most recent releases:
2008‟s Mega Man 9 and 2010‟s Mega Man 10).
• Anyway, it‟s Mega Man X that‟s available for
the iPhone, and it‟s a game that you should
make sure to get.

5. Let‟s just get right to it and cover four more, shall
we?
Golden Axe (arcade, 1989)
• The first game in Sega‟s medieval fantasy-
themed franchise, Golden Axe was a hack
„n‟ slash (a beat „em up variant using
swords, axes, and such) that was first
released in the arcade and subsequently
found even greater popularity with its
Genesis port. It‟s also with the Genesis that
the main series produced two
sequels, although spin-offs continued to be
developed for the arcade and Sega‟s 8-bit
systems.
• The Genesis version of this hack „n‟ slash
classic is now available for
the iPhone, along with its two direct
sequels.

6. Let‟s just get right to it and cover four more, shall
we?
Streets of Rage 2 (Genesis, 1992)
• Sega‟s answer to beat „em up kings Double
Dragon and Final Fight, the Streets of Rage series soon
joined the ranks of those two with the release of this
second game in the franchise. This sequel features
bigger and more detailed sprites, more varied urban
environments, and a bigger moves list than most other
beat „em ups of the time. It was also given a popularity
boost by the soundtrack done by famed game
composer Yuzo Koshiro. The game‟s soundtrack on CD
was one of the first few to be recognized by the
mainstream audience.
• As further credence to its enduring popularity, a
completely fan-made remake aptly called Streets of
Rage Remake was released online last year, after years
of a speculated third sequel which turned to vaporware
finally gave fans the push to create one of their own.
Unfortunately, Sega ordered a cease-and-desist to the
game‟s distribution.
• If you weren‟t lucky enough to grab the remake on
time (or if you aren‟t savvy enough to find other
download channels online), then you can at least get
the complete trilogy on your iPhone.
