If you're a fan of bombs though this could be for you as they're rather plentiful. This is one of those shooters that's great up until you die, then it just goes all to shit. Grid Seeker - Speaking of worse check out this little number. Gekirindan - Wacky time traveling won't keep this vertical shooter from mediocrity but you could probably do worse. An incredible game all-around and worth the $7 by itself. G Darius - Unlike Gaiden this version is near arcade-perfect. Choose your operative and go on a bloody special effects-laden murdering spree as you take down some wacky eco-terrorist or something.įront Line - I don't feel like playing it but it looks and sounds like Commando.so it's probably worse. Game runs like molasses most of the time though(it's the same way on the Taito Memories version, what the heck Taito?)Įlevator Action Returns - Yet another game from my Top 50 arcade games of all yeah yeah okay whatever. Not nearly as fun even though the stage design is a bit better.ĭungeon Magic - Quasi-sequel to Arabian Magic except this time it's all medieval with kobolds, orcs, and an isometric perspective instead of a sideview. Luckily you can get this game on the Saturn(which is neigh-perfect) for less than the cost of this set.ĭon Doko Don - Kind of like Bubble Bobble except instead of playing as two cute dinosaurs that turn enemies into fruit you play as two old men with hammers who hit things over the head and throw them around. Yeah late 70s/early 80s Taito was really dull.ĭarius Gaiden - Okay this port of DG is riddled with slowdown and is admittedly the worst thing about this compilation. Fantastic.Ĭrazy Balloon - Guide a swinging balloon to the goal. Falling Block puzzler where mummies, gems, and whatever whatever keeps things from being a mere Tetris clone. In fact go ahead and tell this game to fuck off cause it's really boring.Ĭleopatra Fortune - Another one of my 50 best arcade games of all time. It rules.Ĭrack'N Pop - Stars a bunch of characters from Bubble Bobble.and that's it. You've got a ball in a maze, tilt the maze to lead the ball into the goal. Granted it's not as good as either of them but hey it's competent.Ĭameltry - This is listed as one of the 50 best arcade games of all time(and I know it's right because it's my list). I didn't play this game.moving along.īonze Adventure - This sort of semi-reminds me of games like Pyros/Wardner and Ghouls & Ghosts. Great music.īalloon Bomber - Shoot and destroy bombs dropped from a bi-plane. Gameplay stays fresh as all manner of traps and varying locals help you keep your mind off the hundred or so guys you kill every stage.
It's kind of shitty but who cares let's move on.Īrabian Magic - A very nice hack & slash featuring as you can imagine a bunch of characters from famous 1,001 Arabian Night tales. Seriously let me run down the list of games.Īlpine Ski - You ski and dodge stuff while trying to score a lot of points. I would hope that everyone owns this already cause come on this is just absolutely fucking ridiculous. Goodness Griefness what is the deal here? One of the finest arcade compilations of all time now going for the price of 14 microwave burritos.
