Adventure

Graphically, where it all began

m0zart continues to turn out one review "masterpiece" after another and I commend him for his accurate recollections and memory of the games and their dynamics stretching back nearly 30 years ago. I was a kid during tha... Read Full Review

Pac-Man

By gtimandan | Review Date: Jan 23, 2006 | 2600

Oh, Namco, Namco, Namco...What WERE you thinking?!

The hype of Pac-Man making the jump to the 2600 is not unlike the rumble created from any upcoming Zelda game now. The roar was furious. Stores were preselling the game [the first time ever in history, if memory serves... Read Full Review

Kaboom!

By gtimandan | Review Date: Jan 23, 2006 | 2600

Old-school gaming at its near best!

"Back-in-the-day", if you wanted a truly great gaming experience, you need only look as far as practically any Activision title and you could be certain that your money [and time] would be well spent. This little ditt... Read Full Review

Super Pinball: Behind the Mask

By gtimandan | Review Date: Jan 23, 2006 | SNES

16-bit graphics aside, this game is incredible!

Kaze, the developer of Super Pinball for the SNES and Last Gladiators for the Sega Saturn, really knows how to channel the spirit of a pinball into a video game. They just nail the physics like nobody else can. The h... Read Full Review

Pen Pen TriIcelon

By gtimandan | Review Date: Jan 23, 2006 | DC

A seizure-inducing romp thru Technicolor Land >>IN STEREO

This was a good title to showcase the macho muscle that was under the hood of the DreamCast when it launched. The frame rates are seldom faulting, the colors will send you on an acid trip sans the acid, and the sounds... Read Full Review

RollerCoaster Tycoon

By gtimandan | Review Date: Jan 23, 2006 | PC

This game truly has staying power

I have been playing this game since not long after it came out. Unfortunately, when I lose a hard drive or wipe it and forget about copying my RCT saves, I invariably have to start all over again...and that's not a bad ... Read Full Review

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (Limited Edition)

By gtimandan | Review Date: Jan 23, 2006 | GC

Superb! This is what true gaming is all about - TOP QUALITY!

With 400+ user reviews already intact for this game, chances are my words won't be seen by many, if any, folks at all. This game is easily the best in the series, even though it's the same ol' regurgitated yarn: a "bo... Read Full Review

The Simpsons: Road Rage

By gtimandan | Review Date: Jan 23, 2006 | GC

Good fun when solo, but AWESOME-fun time when playing with friends!

Not sure why this game gets middling or poor reviews; I've played what seems to be thousands of games, and as far as FUN goes, this game is near the top of my list! If you're looking for GT4 or Forza, this is NOT the ga... Read Full Review

WarioWare: Touched!

By gtimandan | Review Date: Jan 23, 2006 | DS

I agree, it's a great game, even moreso if you have ADD or a short attention span :)

There are 128 reviews on this game prior to mine, and I agree with the consensus that it's an all-around good game and a nice addition to the series. This version of Microgames is perhaps the one I've found most enjoy... Read Full Review

Pac-Pix

By gtimandan | Review Date: Jan 23, 2006 | DS

Innovative, but a mixed bag. Definitely not for everyone.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game, although I managed to fly through it in what seemed a rapid amount of time. In reading some of the other user reviews here, and even the main review, I have to agree with most of them a... Read Full Review

Video Pinball

By gtimandan | Review Date: Jan 23, 2006 | 2600

Surprisingly good substitue for the old arcade video pinball machines

Atari did this title "right" when they created it, lending fairly accurate physics to a blip on your TV screen. Considering the time this was created, the game was impressive for home use and had a lot of replay value... Read Full Review

Galactic Pinball

By gtimandan | Review Date: Jan 25, 2006 | VBOY

If you're into video pinball, I don't think it gets much better than this!

Aside from the monochrome playfield, which quickly becomes a non-issue to your perceptions once playing, this game is top-notch. Although it is not made by them, It's right up there with the best video pinball games eve... Read Full Review

Club Drive

Run, Forrest! RUN!!!

If you're reading this, you must be incredibly bored. It seems that Atari wanted to utilize the aspects of the once-incredible Hard Drivin' arcade game on their new home console. The end result is a vague attempt tha... Read Full Review

Space Ace

By gtimandan | Review Date: Jan 23, 2006 | JCD

A faithful, digitized port of the original arcade classic.

If you're a fan of the original, seeking out this version for the Jaguar, and possibly seeking out a Jaguar, might be worth your consideration [see also the similar (and good!) Dragon's Lair for the Jaguar CD]. The ga... Read Full Review

Tempest 2000

By gtimandan | Review Date: Jan 23, 2006 | JAG

Easily one of the best, most addictive games ever, and I'm not just talking about the Jaguar!

Tempest 2000 is remarkable. Playing it, you'll instantly forget you're connected to the lumpy, awkward Jaguar. The controls take a bit of getting used to since you don't have the knob to spin which is what Tempest was ... Read Full Review

Dragon's Lair 3D: Special Edition

One review I bet no one will ever read...

...since probably nobody will ever do a search for this awful game. Ryan's review is 100% accurate, and it's too bad this rethinking of one of the best arcade games ever is not. It's doubtful that anyone that has n... Read Full Review

Incredibly addictive, your left thumb will hate you!

I have played Mario Karts since they were initially unleashed on the world however until this incarnation, I don't recall there being so much frenetic button-mashing and control-pad throttling. It builds to a frenzy at ... Read Full Review
