Try out the original Wonderboy from Sega. Much more playable than the later ones in that series.

Cheers,

hi,
i had a quick go on wonderboy, i played it a few times in about 1985. it's not for me, really. reminds me of pac land.
bubble bobble looks good, never played apart from on the commodore 64, which was great. i see the high scores are in the millions. big task!
cheers chaps.

This brings up a good point, there is no RANDOM game link at marp.

There is a random game selection at harp, each time you view/refresh the home/news page it gives you a random recording. MARP should have something like this.
