The early Data East games are pretty great in my opinion. Some have cheesy art (which I happen to like), but others like Robocop and Phantom are absolutely stunning and have a really nice presentation with their unique speaker panel design. Things definitely went down hill in the 90s. Every game was a license and the art sucked. They are nowhere near the level Williams was producing at the time whereas the early DE machines definitely gave the system 11 games a run for their money.
