Snow Bros (NES)

How I would sum this game up:  A Bubble Bobble Clone that plays better.

Go ahead and disagree if you want.  I love Snow Bros, and think it is superior to the game it was mimicking.  Substitute snowmen for dragons (advantage: Bubble Bobble), substitute snowballs for bubbles (advantage: Snow Bros) and clean up graphics and controls.  The fact that you turn your enemies into a snowball in which you use to kill other enemies is a whole new level that Bubble Bobble did not have.

Also, they kind of look like snowmen version of Aladdin, which is a bit of a paradox since Aladdin is from the desert.
