Diver Boy

Diver Boy is a somewhat obscure arcade title by Electronic Devices, the same Italian developer behind the previously-mentioned Fantasy Land. Unlike that title, though, the art direction isn't scary, and the game is fun rather than frustratingly difficult. In Diver Boy, you play the titular character, who must pick up pearls by, yes, diving through increasingly complex underwater single-screen mazes. Every few levels, you'll fight a boss in your annoyingly large submarine. There are a few powerups, like a 10-second long submarine and a shield which will protect you from one hit, but nothing hugely game-changing. The graphics are charming if low-budget, the game is simple but still entertaining, and overall Diver Boy will provide a fine few minutes of entertainment. While Diver Boy never got an official port, or a fancy 3d remake, it is available to play for free online in a somewhat choppy and shoddy flash port.

Return of Lady Frog

Who is Lady Frog? And what exactly is she returning from? Expect to have neither of these questions answered and many more raised by The Return Of Lady Frog, a d-grade erotic game from the decidedly unsexily named Microhard. After getting through a baffling title screen, featuring a picture of a treefrog, and an even more confusing picture with bright red lips telling you to "kiss your lady", you get to the, uh, meat of the game, which involves a sort of mix of Qix and Bomberman, though you are fighting cheaply animated balloons instead of other bombing men, and are revealing very 90's nudie pictures instead of abstract swathes of color. You play as a poorly animated frog sprite that would not look out of place in 1980, but who seems to jibe with the 90's shareware aesthetic and the digitized photos. Those looking for a cheap thrill are advised to look elsewhere, and those seeking an actual good game are, well, probably already playing qix and bomberman.
