Good time!
I think those who are older probably remember the boom of the 90s - various game consoles: Dendy, Sega, Sony, etc. Almost all game shops, kiosks, trade shops, etc. were filled with them.
Not many people know, but those favorite good games can be played on a regular computer (how to do it). And if you also connect a joystick to a PC (laptop), you can generally re-experience that indescribable atmosphere!
Actually, in this article I want to cite the most interesting games on Dandy (a little nostalgic 
). They will run even on older and slower PCs, where modern games, as a rule, are not installed. Well, in terms of interest and drive - they will not yield to today's hits!
So - to the point!

Top 20 best games on Dandy
If you are not familiar with them, I recommend playing without fail! Will leave a lasting impression on you!
Tanks (Battle City)
Screenshots from the game Tanks (Battle City)
Legendary game for Dandy! The essence of what is happening in it is very simple: while driving a tank, you must defend your base (in the game it is represented in the form of an eagle). Against you on the battlefield there will be 20 enemy tanks (moreover, very different: from light to heavy). Your task: to destroy them all (after that, you will go to the next level)!
I also note that the game has various improvements for the tank (increasing the rate of fire, protecting it from enemy shells, etc.).
In general, the toy is very dynamic and exciting. You can play, including two.
Mario

Also one of the cult games of the time. You control the plumber Mario, on the way of which various obstacles: snails, turtles, concrete walls, labyrinths of pipes, etc. Your task: go through all the obstacles and rescue the kidnapped princess.
The game is made in bright colors, very exciting and dynamic. Perhaps that is why she did not leave anyone indifferent in her time.
Note: there are dozens of versions of Mario on Dandy! I would recommend starting out with Super Mario Bros.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III
Note: 4 pieces of bugs have been released on Dandy. One of the most famous is the 3rd part. This is what I recommend!
Screen of Turtles (3rd part)
A game based on the famous comics and cartoon. The plot of the game is, in general, the usual: Schroeder kidnaps April (the friend of the turtles) and threatens the city. To save the residents and April, the turtles begin to desperately fight hordes of enemies ...
In general, the toy is made of very high quality: it contains many characters from the cartoons familiar to everyone. Each turtle has its own crown strikes, each level is worked out to the smallest detail: both in terms of graphics and playability (and most importantly, they are multidirectional: you can ride on boards, and walk along city streets, the beach, sewers, you will take an elevator , get to the technodrome, etc.).
In general, the game deserves a score of 5 (on a 5 point scale).
Note: There are several versions of the 3rd part of the turtles. One of them is "not passable" (you cannot kill Schroeder at the technodrome). As far as I remember, you need to choose the version where you start the game with 7 (9) lives (as in the screenshot above).
Battletoads and Double Dragon
Screen from the game
Archi-interesting walker (action movie). You can choose one of five fighters: 3 toads and 2 people are available. (they have different crown strikes!). On the way, you will meet dozens of different fighters, creatures and obstacles.
The toy is quite multidirectional: you can wave a stick, and leave dynamites, zip on a speedboat, fly on a starship, etc.
Difficulty level: above average. Around the "center" of the game, many begin to have problems ...
Note: Several different games with Double Dragon and Toads were released on the console. But in my opinion, this is one of the best.
Contra
You should also pay attention to the Contra Force version ...

In the wake of the popularity of action movies in the 90s with Sylvester Stallone, Steven Seagal, etc. - the contra could not go unnoticed!
In the game you have to take control of a commando, who has a difficult task: to crawl into the enemy's camp and destroy the secret weapon. On the way you will find hundreds of armed enemies, explosions, weapons, etc. The action movie turned out to be gloriously successful, and will not leave anyone indifferent ...

The toy is quite colorful, exciting and interesting. Difficulty: medium. We can safely recommend it even to children (although for them, most likely, it will seem difficult).

Another game based on the most famous comics and cartoon. It is not surprising that many people immediately liked the colorful adventure game!
In the game you have to control Scrooge McDuck, go through dozens of different obstacles, puzzles and mazes. By the way, there are a lot of caches in the game where prizes are hidden.
Perhaps, it is worth noting a few more endings: they depend on the decisions you make during the game.

The meaning of the game: you control a little man who is "stuck" in a maze. There are many enemies, walls, obstacles around. Your task is to place bombs so that enemies explode on them. Naturally, bombs explode according to certain "rules" ...
Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers
Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers
This game was created on the wave of the frenzied popularity of the television animated series about little chipmunks (Chip and Dale) who always come to the rescue! Naturally, the toy immediately won the hearts of millions around the world!
It is a typical adventure game where you need to go through a dozen levels. By the way, what is funny - the path of passage may differ, tk. you make the "road" yourself (flying in the airship in the right direction). The levels are filled with many obstacles and enemies: various boxes and blocks are placed to help you (with which you can throw or hide behind).
In general, the toy is very dynamic, bright, lively, with an average level of difficulty, which will not let you get bored!

Your main enemies are the Sultan's guards and various animals (like the same snakes). As a weapon, you can use apples or just jump on enemies. Also, various gems are scattered across the levels (it is recommended to collect them, since they will greatly simplify the passage).

You have to run through the dark corners of a large house and fight with its various inhabitants. In your arsenal you have small balls that you can throw.
I would also note the bright and beautiful graphics in the game, good portrayal of characters and levels.
Metal gear
Screenshots from the game Metal Gear
Before you is a real action movie! In the game, you appear as a paratrooper, and you are thrown behind enemy lines (by the way, the screensaver shows how you are thrown from an airplane and you land by parachute into the jungle) so that you can get secret information about Metal Gear (a new powerful tank), and destroyed it.
To complete the mission, you will have to explore several buildings (with several floors), collect cards (i.e. keys) to access various rooms, equipment and weapons (for example, infrared glasses, mine detector, uniforms, etc.). With all this, it is highly desirable to remain unnoticed by the enemy.
The game is very addicting and interesting (especially for fans of the genre). Difficulty: medium.

In the 90s, films of the same name were very popular (they can be attributed to the genre of action films, fights). Of course, on the wave of popularity, games were released, moreover, in dozens and on various consoles, including Dandy.
In general, it is difficult for me to single out any specific games from this genre, tk. in my opinion on Dandy they did not look very high quality. But I cannot fail to note the very fact of their presence! (At one time, these names excited the hearts of millions of fans)
Mowgli / The Jungle Book
Screenshots from the game Jungle Book
This game is based on the famous book by R. Kipling "The Jungle Book". The short story is this: a little boy (Mowgli) found himself alone in the jungle. But he was "lucky" - he survived (he was accepted by a pack of wolves and he grew up among them). But it just so happened that the tiger Sherkhan began to hunt for him, and the boy has to do something ...
The game itself is made as a classic platformer. Controlling Mowgli, you need to collect all the diamonds scattered around the map. To do this, you have a certain time in which you need to meet.In addition, there are a lot of enemies on the map, on which you need to either jump or throw a banana (well, or even try to avoid the enemy ).
At the end of each level, a boss awaits you, but the end of the game ends with a fight with Sher Khan ...
Duck Hunt
Screenshots from the game Duck Hunt
A very interesting and addicting game that undoubtedly brought fame to the Dandy console. You can feel the whole meaning of the idea of this toy only if you connect the set-top box to the TV and take the light "pistol" in your hands (note: in addition to joysticks, a pistol could be connected to the set-top box).
Further, the hunting dog (your faithful friend) will start disturbing the ducks in the reeds - when they fly up, you must hit them! Very funny and funny (the game is loved by people of different ages).
Tetris

A very famous logic game of the 90s (it came out on almost all consoles of that time). In addition, Tetris was often the first cartridge that came with the prefix ...
The essence of the game is simple: you must correctly fold the figures falling from the sky (so that there are no voids left). Straight lines, from one wall to another (where there are no voids) - will be erased. As you progress - the speed of the falling figures increases, and it becomes much more difficult to play.
There were quite a few versions of Tetris on Dandy, I don’t dare to single out a specific one. ...
