An NES golf game starring Mario.  NES Open Tournament Golf features Stroke, Match, and Tournament modes on three different courses.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>NES Open Tournament Golf is a golf game released on September 1, 1991. While similar in many ways to <a href="/golf-us-course/3030-33868/" data-ref-id="3030-33868">Golf U.S. Course</a> released on the <a href="/famicom-disk-system/3045-91/" data-ref-id="3045-91">Famicom Disk System</a>, It features only 3 courses, as opposed to the 5 courses that were featured in the Famicom version. The included Courses are America, Japan and United Kingdom. It is thought that the two cut courses from the Famicom version were removed due to the difficulty. There are also some changes in music between the two versions.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>The first player plays as <a href="/mario/3005-177/" data-ref-id="3005-177">Mario</a> while an optional second player can play as <a href="/luigi/3005-370/" data-ref-id="3005-370">Luigi</a>.

It was re-released on the Wii Shop in the spring and summer of 2007 in Japan, Europe and North America. NES Open Tournament Golf was again released on the <a href="/nintendo-3ds/3045-117/" data-ref-id="3045-117">3DS</a> as part of the Ambassador Program as a way to thank early adopters of the <a href="/nintendo-3ds/3045-117/" data-ref-id="3045-117">Nintendo 3DS</a> handheld system.

A fast-paced puzzle-platformer that debuted in arcades, and later moved to home gaming systems; including the Commodore 64, NES, and Nintendo's Virtual Console.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>In Solomon's Key, the wizard Dana adventures through 48 action-puzzle levels (and 15 "secret" levels), searching for items and avoiding danger. Dana uses his magic wand to strategically create or destroy stone blocks, in search of each level's key and exit door. Various monsters block Dana's progress, which he can avoid, trap with blocks, or fight with fire spells.</p><p>The game was first released in the Arcade and was ported to various systems, including the NES. Both the Arcade and NES versions were added to the Wii's <a href="/virtual-console/3015-2925/" data-ref-id="3015-2925">Virtual Console</a>, with the latter version also becoming available for the 3DS's and Wii U's Virtual Console. It was also one of the games selected for the Famicom Disk System <a href="/disk-writer-exclusive/3015-7686/" data-ref-id="3015-7686">Disk Writer</a> service in Japan and added to Hamster's <a href="/arcade-archives/3025-3081/" data-ref-id="3025-3081">Arcade Archives</a> collection. The 2005 compilation <a href="/tecmo-classic-arcade/3030-328/" data-ref-id="3030-328">Tecmo Classic Arcade</a> for Xbox also includes the game.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>The level design becomes increasingly devious as it progresses and often makes it possible for the player to trap themselves, making it impossible to finish the level. Other levels require precise timing to reach the key and the level's door, while enemies become more frequent and aggressive. Players start with three lives, but can continue by holding UP and pressing A + B from the "Game Deviation Value" screen. Once players move beyond level 40, continues return them there. Finishing the game means completing levels 40 through 50 with only 3 lives, a very challenging feat.</p><h3>Abilities</h3><figure data-align="right" data-size="small" data-img-src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/2/23093/2902096-solomon%27s+key+%28u%29+%5B%21%5D_005.png" data-ref-id="1300-2902096" data-ratio="0.9375" data-width="256" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 256px"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:93.8%" href="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/2/23093/2902096-solomon%27s+key+%28u%29+%5B%21%5D_005.png" data-ref-id="1300-2902096"><img alt="A typical Solomon's Key level." src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/2/23093/2902096-solomon%27s+key+%28u%29+%5B%21%5D_005.png" srcset="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/2/23093/2902096-solomon%27s+key+%28u%29+%5B%21%5D_005.png 256w" sizes="(max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px" data-width="256"></a><figcaption>A typical Solomon's Key level.</figcaption></figure><p>Players can do three things to help Dana move through each level, search for the key, and avoid danger.</p><ul><li>Create and destroy orange blocks in adjacent spaces, including blocks diagonally above or below.</li><li>Break overhead blocks by jumping into them twice with his head.</li><li>Shoot fireballs at enemies after retrieving red potions that are scattered throughout the levels.</li></ul><p>While movement seems simple at first, the game makes use of its limited mechanics to create ever more difficult puzzles that call for precise jumping and block creation. Players who can place blocks in mid-jump (creating a block below Dana while in mid-air) will find the game's hardest puzzles more navigable.</p><h3>Hidden Items and Game Endings</h3><p>Game levels organize around the Zodiac's 12 houses, with 4 rooms per sign. Level 1 to 4 is Aries, 5 to 8 is Taurus, and so on, through Pisces at 45-48. When players pick up the constellation tile in the last room of each group (level 4, 8, 12, etc.), they enter hidden levels that contain spells and special items. While Solomon's Key ends after level 48 (or the Fairy room, details below), players can earn better endings by collecting Seals of Solomon and these special items.</p><ul><li>Worst ending: failed to collect Seals of Solomon.</li><li>Better ending: collect five Seals (rooms 9, 13, 17, 21, 29), Page of Time (hidden room after 20), and Page of Space (hidden room after 44)</li><li>Best ending: collect seven Seals (rooms 9, 13, 17, 21, 29, 46, 47), Page of Time, Page of Space, and save Fairy Princess (hidden room after 48)</li></ul>

The fourth Forza Horizon takes the festival to the United Kingdom and features full seasonal changes throughout the open world.

<p>Forza Horizon 4 is an open-world driving game from <a href="/playground-games/3010-7899/" data-ref-id="3010-7899">Playground Games</a>. It is set in the United Kingdom and builds on most of the previous concepts found in the previous installments of the Horizon side of <a href="/microsoft-studios/3010-340/" data-ref-id="3010-340">Microsoft</a>'s long-running Forza franchise.</p><p>Unlike previous entries, Forza Horizon 4 is a connected game, with human players surfacing directly in each other's open worlds instead of the "drivatar" AI found previously.

Jettomero: Hero of the Universe gives the players control over a giant, indestructible robot protecting humanity from monsters, while trying to avoid creating havok and destruction in the process.

<p>Jettomero is a giant amnesiac robot that decides its purpose is to protect humanity. Taking control of Jettomero, the player explores the universe in search of marauding monsters to fight. One planet in each solar system is home to a giant monster that must be defeated in a <a href="/quick-time-event/3015-6/" data-ref-id="3015-6">QTE</a> battle in order to reveal a wormhole that will transport the player to the next solar system. Much like those of <a href="/mirrormoon-ep/3030-43521/" data-ref-id="3030-43521">Mirrormoon EP</a>, the planets are unrealistically small and can be circumnavigated in just a few seconds.</p><p>On the surface of planets, Jettomero walks in a clumsy manner similar to <a href="/grow-home/3030-48631/" data-ref-id="3030-48631">Grow Home</a>'s BUD. The human inhabitants of each planet consider Jettomero to be a threat and will attack the player with a variety of weapons and traps that cause Jettomero to stumble and stagger, but do no permanent harm. The player can choose to avoid conflict and unnecessary destruction when exploring a planet, or to wreak havoc and destroy every feature on the surface; though there is no in-game acknowledgement of either play-style, trophies will be awarded for certain extreme actions.</p><p>The game is visually quite striking, with <a href="/cel-shading/3015-173/" data-ref-id="3015-173">cel-shaded</a> graphics a saturated colour palette.</p>

Eliminate all opponents by blasting them off screen with various water-based weapons.
