Magic of Scheherzade
The names a mouth full, but hows the game hold up after almost 10 years? I haven't played this one before so the review was an interesting read.
In the start of the game, you will be able to choose between three classes: fighter, saint and magician. While the influence these choices have on the game is not titanic, it will definitely affect the way you play as well as dealing with the bosses that lay in wait for you at the end of each level. I was a fan of the fighter class because I prefer physical strength over magic in most games, but I played the game through using magician class as well as still had fun. It is of note that you can only gain one of the NPCs in level three by choosing saint class, though!

D-pad Hero is a free NES Rom that introduces Guitar Hero play style to the 8 bit NES engine. Perhaps it will be made into cart form at some point, that would be sweet.
