The range of power-ups and things to collect keeps things interesting (the crocodile hero appears to have a worrying addiction to fruit machines), and some of the monsters are endearingly strange. While the single-screen, trap-the-monsters action may have seemed old hat at a time when Sonic was tearing through levels like lightning, Wani Wani World has aged quite well.

Quite possibly. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos (yes, really). You play Annet, a heroine armed with magic and boomerangs, of all things, who’s on a mission to save 1920s America from Al Capone and ancient, evil gods from H.P.
