Super Jinsei Game 3
Super Jinsei Game 3 (“Super Life Game 3”) is the third of three games released on the Super Famicom to be based on the Jinsei Game board game from Takara, which is actually a translated version of Milton Bradley’s The Game of Life.
The player selects and names an avatar, and uses a spinner to move around a board encountering various random life events that can lead to positive or negative changes to their station. The player can choose to play with up to three other players in a pass-and-play manner, or three CPU opponents, or a combination of the two.
Gegege no Kitarou - Fukkatsu! Tenma Daiou
GeGeGe no Kitarou: Fukkatsu! Tenma Daiou (“GeGeGe no Kitarou: Revival! Great King Tenma”) is a side-scrolling action game based on the GeGeGe no Kitarou license. Kitarou, a youkai boy and the last surviving member of the Ghost Tribe, is tasked with defeating the cocoon form of the dormant Great King Tenma before he can revive and destroy the world of humans.
Each stage is set up as a series of boss fights against notable youkai from the franchise. The player must learn their tactics and defeat them while preserving as much of their health as possible, as they will often have to fight several bosses in a row without being able to heal. There’s also the occasional action sequence, such as a vaguely shoot 'em up part that leads to a tough fight against a colossal enemy.
The game was featured on the 13th season of the popular gaming Japanese TV show GameCenter CX

Naruhodo! The World
Naruhodo! The World (“See! The World”) is an adaptation of a game show of the same title broadcast on Fuji TV between 1981-1996. The goal is to pair up into four teams and compete with each other by answering questions about locations all over the world. The teams are sorted by rank after an initial quiz round and the lowest ranking pair is offered questions first, which are then passed up the chain.
The TV show featured Kinya Aikawa and Eriko Kusuda as hosts, and both are featured on the cover of this game. It was released exclusively in Japan for the Super Famicom.
