| In February 1990 Game Player's reported a third publisher of unlicensed Nintendo-compatible cartridges, "a company called S.E.I.", whose first Nintendo-compatible title was Impossible Mission II. Its columnist, Matthew A. Firme, wrote that the booklet included "a complete psychiatric profile of Elvin" and that "the Nintendo-compatible version plays as beautifully as the computer versions". | p. 22 (image 24), Nintendo Newsp. 22 (image 24), Nintendo Newsp. 22 (image 24), Nintendo Newsp. 22 (image 24), Nintendo Newsimage 26, Nintendo News (continued) | Magazine |

| Neil Randall's Turbo Players column in Game Player's (February 1990) covered the TurboGrafx-16 Pac-Land, which takes Pac-Man out of his mazes and lets him do more than scuttle about. He found its controls backwards (button I runs right, button II left, and the pad jumps), and grouped it with Space Harrier and Final Lap Twin as games that seem less impressive at first than they turn out to be. | p. 55 (image n57), Turbo Playersp. 55 (image n57), Turbo Playersp. 55 (image n57), Turbo Playersp. 55 (image n57), Turbo Playersp. 56 (image n58), Turbo Playersp. 56 (image n58), Turbo Playersp. 57 (image n59), Turbo Players | Magazine |
| Reviewing the NES version for Game Player's in February 1990, Selby Bateman called it "a guaranteed thumb-numbing action thriller" and wrote that players who enjoy shooting their way through enemies as a secret agent would be captivated by its "excellent graphics, furious action, and clever array of enemies". Game Player's news page the month before had called it "a very accurate version of the popular arcade hit", noting its password feature. | p. 91 (image n93), review of Rolling Thunderp. 91 (image n93), review of Rolling Thunderp. 91 (image n93), review of Rolling Thunder | Magazine |
