Sonic Spinball is a spin-off from the well known Sonic the Hedgehog series and it takes Sonic into the world of... yep you guessed it! Pinball Machines!

They could have done a lot better for the only Yu-Gi-Oh game on the GameCube. The only real challenge to the game is collecting all the monsters.

As far as Quake ports went, this one got the most changes. Graphically, it's nearly the same, a little blockier but excusable for N64 standards. Gameplay?
