  • The tagline for this site is "Some Games Are Worth Revisiting."  I might need to really emphasize "some" because some games aren't worth seeing the first time.  At the very least, make sure you read the manual before trying Star Voyager.

  • This is an Authentic Arcade Edition, 'eh?  I'd hate to see the other versions.  This game is a perfect example of why an arcade game can't always be ported to a home console and do well.  I'll save most of that for another article, this will be about the game.

  • If 3-D WorldRunner were made today we'd probably ask why we don't just play the free version online.  But it was made a while ago, and it's good.  And it has 3-D.  And it's fun.  I think you get the idea.

  • Deadly Towers is part Zelda, part Mario 64.  Yeah, it will make more sense.  For this though, let's just stick with the fact that it's pretty bad but not for the reasons you'd expect.

  • They trick you on purpose.  They make you go back and get something right at the start of the game.  It's evil, and I hate it, and I don't understand the appeal at all.  And then, like a good prog rock album, I've been exposed to it for so long that I just can't get enough of it.

  • Athena has nothing to do with the goddess Athena.  Despite the fact that she's supposed to be the goddess.  You should probably just skip this one unless you're a glutton for punishment.

  • The original Zelda game.  It's clunky and bland compared to today's games.  Heck, it's that way compared to the Game Boy and SNES versions too.  But it's the start of everything.  And it saves.

  • Mighty Bomb Jack plays like Super Mario Bros.  Except you're always on full flight power from Super Mario Bros. 3.  That gets kind of annoying, but it's not bad enough to ruin the game.  Other things try to do that.
